DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
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 Bond for Drawback Under 26 U.S.C. 5131.
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before October 1, 1996
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 Steve
Simon, Wine, Beer and Spirits Regulations Branch, 650 Massachusetts

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Bond for Drawback Under 26 U.S.C. 5131.
Form Number: ATF F 5154.3.
Abstract: This bond form is required pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5131
from all persons who claim, on a monthly basis, drawback of tax on
distilled spirits used in the manufacture of approved nonbeverage
products. The form is used to establish eligibility to file drawback
claims on a monthly basis and, when necessary, to enforce collection of
money owed to the Government.
Current Actions: This is a new application. The bond has been
required for many years, but because the form requests no information
other than that necessary to identify the parties involved and the
amount of the bond, it had not previously been considered to be a
collection of information subject to OMB review and approval.
Type of Review: New.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
Estimated Time Per Respondent: 12 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 12 hours.
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: (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; and
(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. Also, ATF requests
information regarding any monetary expenses you may incur while
completing this form.
Dated: July 26, 1996.
John W. Magaw,
Director.
