Modernization of Permit and Registration Application Requirements for Distilled Spirits Plants Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:

In this notice of proposed rulemaking, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau TTB proposes deregulatory amendments to the regulations to modernize and streamline the permit application for distilled spirits plants and for users and dealers of specially denatured alcohol and taxfree alcohol. The proposed amendments also relax some reporting requirements associated with changes to the business of those holding such permits and registrations. Some of these proposed liberalizing amendments would also apply to all Federal Alcohol Administration Act basic permit holders including wineries, and importers and wholesalers of distilled spirits, wine, and malt beverages and to alcohol beverage dealers. The proposed amendments are a result of TTBs evaluation of its permit and registration application requirements and consideration of relevant public comments submitted to the Treasury Department in response to its request for recommendations concerning regulations that can be eliminated, modified, or streamlined in order to reduce burdens.

collected during the course of TTBs permit and registration applications.
The purpose was to identify ways to streamline the application and registration process, reduce burden on the regulated industry, and ensure that the process collects, where possible, only information that is necessary to meet the agencys statutory obligations.
TTBs general approach was to identify information being collected that could be eliminated without hindering TTBs ability to evaluate an applicants qualifications and to more narrowly focus the application questions to capture only the information that is needed. In addition, TTB also considered whether there were any requests made in the application process that were so commonly approved that the regulations themselves could be amended to accommodate them without the need to submit the request.
Similarly, on June 14, 2017, the Treasury Department Treasury published in the Federal Register 82
FR 27217 a Request for Information inviting members of the public to submit views and recommendations for Treasury regulations that can be eliminated, modified, or streamlined in order to reduce burdens. TTB reviewed comments received in response to this request and identified proposals that related to the permit application process or, more generally, to beginning business in a TTB-regulated industry.
Through TTBs internal evaluation and consideration of the public input, TTB has identified deregulatory actions that TTB can take by amending regulations and also, where rulemaking is not required, by amending guidance and forms. While this document addresses distilled spirits plants, users and dealers of specially denatured alcohol and tax-free alcohol, and Federal Alcohol Administration Act basic permit holders, TTB intends to engage in further rulemaking to address other regulated industries within the context of their respective statutory eligibility requirements. Specifically, TTB will address in separate rulemakings the Internal Revenue Code IRC registration and notice requirements for wine and beer producers, respectively, as well as IRC
requirements for TTB-regulated tobacco businesses.
With respect to distilled spirits plants DSPs, this document proposes to amend the regulations to eliminate or narrow the range of information that must be submitted with applications for permits or registrations to more directly respond to TTBs statutory obligations
