FY21 TTB Annual Report Now Available

Each year, TTB issues an Annual Report to communicate relevant program performance and financial information to our stakeholders, and the FY 2021 report is now available!

The report highlights our program accomplishments and explains any challenges as we work toward meeting our strategic goals and objectives. The report also provides financial information on Bureau operations by major program. This combination of the Bureau's program performance and financial information in a single document lends accountability and transparency to how TTB uses our funding to return value to American taxpayers.

Reminder - Comment Period for DSP Permit Modernization Proposal Set To Close

The comment period for our recent notice of proposed rulemaking modernizing and streamlining our distilled spirits-related permit application process will close on Tuesday, February 1. This proposal concerns permits and registrations for:

  • Distilled spirits plants
  • Alcohol fuel plants
  • Users and dealers of specially denatured alcohol
  • Tax-free alcohol users

We are also proposing to extend the period of time in which certain changes to your permit/registration need to be reported to TTB.

The proposed changes are a result of an internal evaluation of our permit and registration application requirements. The proposals also take into consideration 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 government burdens.

We believe the changes we've proposed will significantly reduce the time needed to complete an application for distilled spirits permits/registrations.

To submit a comment before the February 1 deadline, please use the comment form for the proposed rule posted on Regulations.gov.
