27 C.F.R. § 25.297 Brewer's Report of Operations, Form 5130.9.
Title 27 - Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms
(a) Monthly report of operations. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each brewer shall prepare and submit a monthly report of brewery operations on Form 5130.9. (b) Quarterly report of operations. (1) For calendar quarters commencing on or after October 1, 1993, a brewer who produces less than 10,000 barrels of beer per calendar year may file the report of brewery operations quarterly. The report will be filed on Form 5130.9. For the purpose of establishing whether a quarterly report may be filed, the brewer will determine annual production of beer by adding up the quantities of beer produced, water/liquids added in cellars, and beer received from other breweries and from pilot brewing plants for all months of the previous calendar year. (2) To begin the quarterly filing of a Brewer's Report of Operations, a brewer will state such intent in the “Remarks” section when filing the last monthly Form 5130.9 before the calendar quarter during which the brewer will commence quarterly filings. A brewer beginning business may file Form 5130.9 quarterly if the brewer states in the “Remarks” section of its initial monthly Form 5130.9 that the annual production of beer is not likely to exceed 10,000 barrels. (3) If a brewer determines that the 10,000 barrel quantity for a calendar year will be exceeded in any month, the brewer shall file a Form 5130.9 for that month and for all subsequent months of the calendar year. (4) The appropriate TTB officer may at any time require a brewer who is filing a Brewer's Report of Operations quarterly to file such report monthly if there is a jeopardy to the revenue. (c) Retention. The brewer shall retain a copy of the Form 5130.9 as part of the brewery records. (26 U.S.C. 5415, 5555) [T.D. ATF–345, 58 FR 40358, July 28, 1993, as amended by T.D.
