FORM 2608 WITHDRAWAL OF SPIRITS FOR RECTIFICATION OR BOTTLING FORM 2611 STATEMENT OF LOSSES AT BOTTLING PREMISES

Proprietors of bottling premises, and others concerned:

Purpose. The purposes of this industry circular are (a) to request proprietors of bottling premises to show their address on Form 2608, and (b) to inform them that the footnote reference "6/" which appears at Line 11 of Form 2611 (July 1959 issue only) is erroneous.

Form 2608. Field experience in the use of this form has shown that lack of the applicant's address on the form can cause delay in forwarding copies of pertinent withdrawal forms to him. The next printing of the form will provide for the applicant's address to be shown; meanwhile, applicants are requested to show in block 3B of the form their address as well as their name.

Form 2611. The correct footnote reference which should appear at Line 11 of Form 2611 is "3/". Footnote "3/" is applicable to Lines 2 and 11 of the form, and cautions the proprietor not to include in Section I, "Alcoholic Ingredients Account", transactions which properly belong in Section III, "Closed System Account".

Inquiries. Inquiries regarding this industry circular should refer to its number and be addressed to your assistant regional commissioner (alcohol and tobacco tax).
