After your application is received, the TTB will do a background check to make sure the applicant is allowed to operate a distilled sprits plant. THe applicant will also be asked to complete a telephone interview in which the application is discussed and corrections are made. The interview may be followed by an on-site investigation, after which an approval or denial will be issued.
