    Proposed Collection; Comment Request
    
    ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing 
    effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general 
    public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
    on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by 
    the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 
    3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
    within the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning 
    the Principal Place of Business on Beer Labels.
    
    DATES: Written comments should be received on or before October 14, 
    1997 to be assured of consideration.
    
    ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco 
    and Firearms, Linda Barnes, 650 Massachusetts Avenue, NW., Washington, 
    DC 20226 (202) 927-8930.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
    copies of the form(s) and instructions should be directed to Charles 
    Bacon, Wine, Beer and Spirits Regulations Branch, 650 Massachusetts 
    Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20226 (202) 927-8518.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
        Title: Principal Place of Business on Beer Labels.
        OMB Number: 1512-0474.
        Recordkeeping Requirement ID Number: ATF Reporting Requirement 
    5130/5.
        Abstract: ATF regulations require the name and address of the 
    brewer to appear on labels of kegs, bottles, and cans of domestic beer. 
    The regulations permit domestic brewers who operate more than one 
    brewery to show as their address on labels and kegs of beer, their 
    ``principal place of business'' address. This label option may be used 
    in lieu of showing the actual place of production on the label or of 
    listing all of the brewer's locations on the label. There is no period 
    of retention prescribed for this reporting requirement since the 
    requirement is to provide identification of the brewer through 
    labeling.
        Current Actions: The only adjustment associated with this 
    collection is an increase in the number of respondents. However, the 
    increase does not affect the burden hours.
        Type of Review: Extension.
        Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
        Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,200.
        Estimated Time Per Respondent: 0.
        Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1.
    
    REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: Comments submitted in response to this notice 
    will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
    comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited 
    on:
    
    [[Page 43197]]
    
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper 
    performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
    information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
    agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
    ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
    be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
    information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
    collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
    estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
    maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
    
        Dated: August 6, 1997.
