Abstract

The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the assessment for the physical domain of the Army's Holistic Health and Fitness System. It was adopted as the fitness test of record in 2020 and includes six events with one of the six being maximum deadlift (MDL) event. Currently, there is a lack of evidence discussing provider beliefs regarding the deadlift. This is important as Soldiers may present to a medical provider following a deadlift injury seeking medical advice and treatment. The purpose of the study is to describe provider beliefs regarding the deadlift and examine their relationship to treatment behaviors for patients presenting with a deadlift injury.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 6061 provides that any return, statement, or other document submitted under the IRC’s provisions must be signed in accordance with the forms or regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary). Also, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 27 U.S.C. 204(c) authorizes the Secretary to prescribe the manner and form of applications for basic permits issued under the Act. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations require individuals signing documents and forms filed with TTB on behalf of an applicant or principal to have specific authority to do so. As such, applicants and principals use form TTB F 5000.8, Power of Attorney, to delegate such authority to a designated individual and to report that delegation to TTB. Many documents and forms submitted to TTB are legally binding and have penalties for omissions or falsification, and TTB uses the collected information to determine who legally represents an applicant or permittee doing business with the agency.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 7805 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue all needful regulations to implement the IRC. Under that authority, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 28 allow alcohol exporters to apply for TTB approval of proposed alternate methods or procedures to, or emergency variances from, the requirements of that part, other than the giving of a bond or the payment of tax. Such applications provide alcohol exporters with operational flexibility and allow them to meet emergency circumstances. TTB review of such applications is necessary to determine that the proposed alternative or variance would not jeopardize the revenue, be contrary to any provisions of law, or unduly hinder the effective administration of the relevant TTB regulations.

Abstract

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5001 generally imposes a Federal excise tax on all distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States, 26 U.S.C. 5214 provides for the tax-free withdrawal of distilled spirits from distilled spirits plants (DSPs) for nonbeverage purposes, including for use by educational institutions, laboratories, and medical facilities, and by State, local, and tribal governments. At 26 U.S.C. 5271–5275, the IRC also sets permit, bond, formula submission, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements for the use of tax-free distilled spirits, all of which is subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Under those authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 22 require users of tax-free alcohol to submit certain letterhead applications and notices, which serve as qualifying documents for specific regulated activities or as amendments to previously filed documents. The collected information is necessary to ensure that the provisions of the IRC related to tax-free distilled spirits are appropriately applied.

Abstract

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5207, requires distilled spirits plant (DSP) proprietors to maintain records and submit reports of their production, storage, denaturation, and processing activities, and, at 26 U.S.C. 5214, it authorizes the withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a DSP free of tax for certain specified uses, all subject regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 19 require DSP proprietors to keep certain records regarding their production, loss, receipt, transfer, and withdrawal of denatured spirits. Using the required records, those regulations also require DSP proprietors to report a summary of their daily denaturing (processing) activities to TTB on a monthly basis using form TTB F 5110.43. Because denatured spirits may be removed from a DSP free of tax, a full accounting of a DSP’s denaturation operations is necessary to protect the revenue. The required records and reports allow TTB to detect and prevent diversion of denatured spirits to taxable uses, ensure compliance with Federal law and regulations, and compile industry statistics.

Abstract

Under chapter 51 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), distilled spirits produced or imported into the United States are subject to Federal excise tax, which is determined at the time the spirits are withdrawn from bond and which is paid by return, subject to regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. In addition, a credit may be taken against that tax for the portion of a distilled spirits product’s alcohol content derived from wine or flavors. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 19 and 26 require distilled spirits excise taxpayers to keep certain records in support of the information provided on their excise tax returns, including information on the distilled spirits removed from their premises and the products’ applicable tax rates, as well as records related to nontaxable removals, shortages, and losses. The required records are necessary to protect the revenue as TTB uses the data collected to ensure the appropriate amount of tax is paid, to verify claims for refunds or remission of tax, and to account for the transfer of certain distilled spirits excise taxes to the governments of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Under the authority of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5122, the TTB regulations in 27 CFR part 31 require retail alcohol beverage dealers to keep records showing the quantities of all distilled spirits, wines, and beer received, including information on from whom and when the products were received. Those regulations also require such dealers to keep records of all alcohol beverage sales of 20 or more wine gallons made to the same person at the same time. At the retail dealer’s discretion, those records may consist of commercial invoices or a book containing the required information, which the dealer must maintain at their place of business or at an alternate location under the dealer’s control approved by TTB. In addition, under the authority of the IRC at 26 U.S.C. 5123, the part 31 regulations also require retail dealers to maintain the required records for at least 3 years, during which period they must be made available for TTB inspection during business hours. TTB uses the required information to ensure that the relevant provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.

The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), at 26 U.S.C. 5361, 5362, and 5386–5388, requires persons who intend to produce special natural wine, agricultural wine, other than standard wine, or nonbeverage wine to obtain approval of the formulas and processes by which such products will be made. Under those IRC authorities, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR parts 24 and 26 require producers to obtain prior approval of the formulas and processes by which such wine products will be made. Producers may file such approval requests using TTB F 5120.29, Formula and Process for Wine. TTB uses the collected information to ensure that the relevant tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied and to protect the public from misidentified, mislabeled, or unsafe wines and wine products.

While the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5214 allows for the tax-free withdrawal of denatured distilled spirits from a distilled spirits plant (DSP), 26 U.S.C. 5275 requires persons that procure, deal in, or use specially denatured (SDS), or that recover specially denatured or completely denatured distilled spirits, to maintain records and file reports as required by regulation. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR part 20 require persons who use or recover SDS or articles, or who use recovered completely denatured spirits or articles, to file a report using form TTB F 5150.18 once annually or when discontinuing business to account for their use of such denatured spirits in specific approved formulas. The collected information accounts for the use of untaxed distilled spirits and is necessary to ensure that the tax provisions of the IRC are appropriately applied.
