Administrative Changes to Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms 
Regulations Due to the Homeland Security Act of 2002

AGENCY: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 divided the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, into two 
separate agencies, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives in the Department of Justice, and the Alcohol and Tobacco 
Tax and Trade Bureau in the Department of the Treasury. This final rule 
amends the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regulations to 
reflect the Bureau's new name and organizational structure.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 31, 2006.

Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, P.O. Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

Homeland Security Act of 2002

    On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the Homeland 
Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (the Act). 
Effective on January 24, 2003, section 1111 of the Act transferred the 
``authorities, functions, personnel, and assets'' of the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, to the 
Department of Justice, with the exception of certain enumerated 
authorities retained by the Department of the Treasury. The authorities 
retained by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 1111(c)(2) of 
the Act include the administration and enforcement of chapters 51 and 
52 of the Internal Revenue Code, sections 4181 and 4182 of the Internal 
Revenue Code, and title 27 of the United States Code.
    To administer the authorities retained by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, section 1111 of the Act also created the Tax and Trade Bureau 
within the Department of the Treasury. Treasury Order No. 120-01 
(Revised), dated January 24, 2003, designated the Tax and Trade Bureau 
as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and directed that 
the head of TTB is the Administrator who shall exercise the 
authorities, perform the functions, and carry out the duties of the 
Secretary in the administration and enforcement of the laws cited in 
section 1111(c)(2) of the Act.

Publication of T.D. ATF-487, OLC No. 01-03

    On January 24, 2003, the Department of the Treasury and the 
Department of Justice jointly published in the Federal Register (68 FR 
3744), as T.D. ATF-487 and OLC No. 01-03, a document entitled 
``Reorganization of Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations.'' That 
document divided into two chapters the regulations contained in title 
27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), entitled ``Alcohol, 
Tobacco Products and Firearms,'' by establishing in title 27 a new 
chapter II entitled ``Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives, Department of Justice'' and placing, in that new chapter 
II, four existing parts and one existing subpart that concerned 
functions transferred by the Act to the Department of Justice. The 
other existing provisions were retained in chapter I of title 27, which 
was re-titled ``Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Department of 
the Treasury.''

Administrative Changes in This Final Rule

    With the exception of parts 28, 31, and 41, for which nomenclature 
and organizational conforming changes were previously made, this final 
rule amends those parts retained in 27 CFR chapter I that require 
changes to conform them to the name and organizational structure of 
TTB. Specifically, we are either removing references to the former 
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms or replacing them with the 
appropriate TTB references. For example, we are changing the references 
to the ``Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,'' ``ATF,'' and 
``Director'' to ``Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau,'' ``TTB,'' 
and ``Administrator,'' respectively. We are also amending mailing 
addresses to reflect the Bureau's new locations.
    For consistency, we are changing references to ``ATF'' forms to 
``TTB'' forms even though some of our forms have not yet been updated 
to reflect TTB's name and organization. Any reference to a ``TTB'' form 
in the regulations should be considered a reference to the 
corresponding form having the same number preceded by ``ATF.'' We will 
continue to accept those ``ATF'' forms until each form is appropriately 
modified and existing stocks of the old form are depleted.
    In this final rule, we also remove each specific title of the 
person having delegated authority in the texts of 27 CFR parts 19, 40, 
and 71 and add, in its place in each case, a reference to the 
``appropriate TTB officer,'' consistent with the approach taken in the 
other parts of the TTB regulations. We also revise the delegation of 
authority sections in parts 28 and 40 to conform them to the wording of 
similar sections elsewhere in the regulations. We also add a new 
delegation of authority section to parts 19, 31, and 71, and we revise 
the definition of ``appropriate TTB officer'' in part 31 to conform to 
the wording used in other parts of the regulations.
    TTB also has executed delegation orders pertaining to those parts 
of the TTB regulations that require delegations of the Administrator's 
authority. With reference to each relevant regulatory provision within 
the part in question, each delegation order defines the ``appropriate 
TTB officer'' to whom the TTB Administrator delegates authority for 
purposes of the part. The promulgation of a separate delegation 
instrument for each part will simplify the process for determining 
which TTB officer is authorized to perform a particular function and 
will facilitate any future updating of these delegation orders. The 
texts of the delegation orders will be published in the Federal 
Register and will be maintained on the TTB Web site (https://
www.ttb.gov).
    The administrative changes referred to above make no substantive 
changes to the regulations that will affect a member of the public.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Because this final rule is not required to be preceded by a notice 
of proposed rulemaking, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

Executive Order 12866

    This final rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined 
in Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this final rule is not subject 
to the analysis this Executive Order requires.

Inapplicability of Prior Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective Date 
Procedures

    Because this final rule merely makes technical or conforming 
nonsubstantive

[[Page 16919]]

amendments to the regulations to reflect the new name and 
organizational structure of TTB, no notice of proposed rulemaking and 
public comment period are required under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). For the 
same reason, this final rule is not subject to the delayed effective 
date requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
