Notice of Online Archive: This page is no longer being updated and remains online for informational and historical purposes only. The information is accurate as of the last page update.
This information is compiled to show the average turnaround time it takes TTB to process applications to operate new businesses. The average number of days to process represents the average number of days elapsed from the date the National Revenue Center receives the application through the date that the applicant is approved to operate. The approval process may include:
- Initial evaluation of the application for completeness,
- Background checks,
- Field investigations,
- Examination of equipment and premises,
- Legal analysis of proposed operations.
The time necessary to process an application varies and typically, applications to operate a production or manufacturing plant take longer. These statistics span the year-to-date period based on the Federal Government’s fiscal year (FY), October 1 – September 30 each year.
