Administrative Changes to Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Regulations Due to the Homeland Security Act of 2002; Correction, 25752-25753 [06-4073]

Download as PDF 25752 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 2, 2006 / Rules and Regulations so we believe the references to gallons are no longer needed. Finally, we are issuing this final rule with a 30-day delayed effective date. As stated above, we believe a longer transition period is not necessary because wines that meet the vintage date labeling requirement under the current rules will meet the requirement under the new standard. Regulatory Flexibility Act We certify that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This regulation provides greater flexibility to wine producers and importers without imposing any new reporting, recordkeeping, or other administrative requirement. Therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required. Executive Order 12866 This rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866, 58 FR 51735. Therefore, it requires no regulatory assessment. Drafting Information Marjorie D. Ruhf of the Regulations and Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, drafted this document. However, other personnel participated in its development. List of Subjects in 27 CFR Part 4 Advertising, Customs duties and inspection, Imports, Labeling, Packaging and containers, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Trade practices, Wine. Amendment to the Regulations For the reasons discussed in the preamble, we amend 27 CFR, chapter 1, part 4, as follows: I PART 4—LABELING AND ADVERTISING OF WINE 1. The authority citation for part 4 continues to read as follows: I Authority: 27 U.S.C. 205, unless otherwise noted. 2. In section 4.27, paragraph (a) is revised, paragraph (b) is amended by removing the parenthetical reference ‘‘(or 1-gallon before January 1, 1979)’’, and paragraph (c) is revised to read as follows: rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES I § 4.27 Signed: March 29, 2006. John J. Manfreda, Administrator. Vintage wine. (a) General. Vintage wine is wine labeled with the year of harvest of the grapes and made in accordance with the standards prescribed in classes 1, 2, or VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:26 May 01, 2006 Jkt 208001 3 of § 4.21. The wine must be labeled with an appellation of origin other than a country (which does not qualify for vintage labeling). The appellation must be shown in direct conjunction with the designation required by § 4.32(a)(2), in lettering substantially as conspicuous as that designation. In no event may the quantity of wine removed from the producing winery, under labels bearing a vintage date, exceed the volume of vintage wine produced in that winery during the year indicated by the vintage date. The following additional rules apply to vintage labeling: (1) If an American or imported wine is labeled with a viticultural area appellation of origin (or its foreign equivalent), at least 95 percent of the wine must have been derived from grapes harvested in the labeled calendar year; or (2) If an American or imported wine is labeled with an appellation of origin other than a country or viticultural area (or its foreign equivalent), at least 85 percent of the wine must have been derived from grapes harvested in the labeled calendar year. * * * * * (c) Imported wine. Imported wine may bear a vintage date if all of the following conditions are met: (1) It is made in compliance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section; (2) It is bottled in containers of 5 liters or less prior to importation, or it is bottled in the United States from the original container of the product (showing a vintage date); and (3) The invoice is accompanied by, or the American bottler possesses, a certificate issued by a duly authorized official of the country of origin (if the country of origin authorizes the issuance of such certificates) certifying that the wine is of the vintage shown, that the laws of the country regulate the appearance of vintage dates upon the labels of wine produced for consumption within the country of origin, that the wine has been produced in conformity with those laws, and that the wine would be entitled to bear the vintage date if it had been sold within the country of origin. Approved: April 7, 2006. Timothy E. Skud, Deputy Assistant Secretary (Tax, Trade, and Tariff Policy).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Hoover, Regulations and Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, telephone 202– 927–8076. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 24, 2003, section 1111 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 divided the former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), 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. On January 24, 2003, the two Departments published a joint final rule in the Federal Register (68 FR 3744) that divided the ATF regulations contained in title 27, Code of Federal Regulations, between the two new agencies. That final rule placed the regulations administered by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in a newly created 27 CFR chapter II, while the regulations administrated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) remained in 27 CFR chapter I. On April 4, 2006, TTB published a final rule in the Federal Register making administrative changes to the majority of its regulations in 27 CFR E:\FR\FM\02MYR1.SGM 02MYR1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 2, 2006 / Rules and Regulations chapter I, as a consequence of the changes made by section 1111 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. With the exception of 27 CFR parts 28, 31, and 41, for which administrative changes were previously made, the final rule amended the remaining parts of 27 CFR chapter I that required nomenclature, organizational, and other administrative changes to conform them to the current name and organizational structure of TTB. For example, the final rule replaced references to ATF and its officers with appropriate TTB references. The final rule made no substantive change to the regulations in question. After the publication of the final rule, two amendatory instructions were found to contain inadvertent errors. First, amendatory instruction 67a, regarding 27 CFR 19.11, referred to ‘‘Area Supervisor’’ and ‘‘Regional Director’’ when it should have referred to, respectively, ‘‘Area supervisor’’ and ‘‘Region director (compliance).’’ Second, amendatory instruction 131a, regarding section 40.11, referred to ‘‘Regions’’ and ‘‘Regional director’’ when it should have referred to ‘‘Region’’ and Regional Director (compliance),’’ respectively. I Therefore, in the Federal Register of April 4, 2006, the following corrections are made: I (1) On page 16928, in the second column, paragraph ‘‘a’’ of amendatory instruction 67 is corrected to read as follows: I a. Remove the definitions of ‘‘Area supervisor’’, ‘‘ATF bond’’, ‘‘ATF officer’’, ‘‘Director’’, ‘‘Region’’, and ‘‘Region director (compliance)’’. (2) On page 16948, in the first column, paragraph ‘‘a’’ of amendatory instruction 131 is corrected to read as follows: I a.

Regulations Due to the Homeland Security Act of 2002; Correction

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On April 4, 2006, TTB published a final rule in the Federal 
Register making administrative changes to its regulations due to the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002, which divided the former 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. That final rule 
contained two incorrect amendatory instructions; this document corrects 
those errors.

DATES: Effective Date: March 31, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Hoover, Regulations and 
Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, telephone 
202-927-8076.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective January 24, 2003, section 1111 of 
the Homeland Security Act of 2002 divided the former Bureau of Alcohol, 
Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), 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. On January 24, 
2003, the two Departments published a joint final rule in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 3744) that divided the ATF regulations contained in 
title 27, Code of Federal Regulations, between the two new agencies. 
That final rule placed the regulations administered by the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in a newly created 27 CFR 
chapter II, while the regulations administrated by the Alcohol and 
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) remained in 27 CFR chapter I.
    On April 4, 2006, TTB published a final rule in the Federal 
Register making administrative changes to the majority of its 
regulations in 27 CFR

[[Page 25753]]

chapter I, as a consequence of the changes made by section 1111 of the 
Homeland Security Act of 2002. With the exception of 27 CFR parts 28, 
31, and 41, for which administrative changes were previously made, the 
final rule amended the remaining parts of 27 CFR chapter I that 
required nomenclature, organizational, and other administrative changes 
to conform them to the current name and organizational structure of 
TTB. For example, the final rule replaced references to ATF and its 
officers with appropriate TTB references. The final rule made no 
substantive change to the regulations in question.
    After the publication of the final rule, two amendatory 
instructions were found to contain inadvertent errors. First, 
amendatory instruction 67a, regarding 27 CFR 19.11, referred to ``Area 
Supervisor'' and ``Regional Director'' when it should have referred to, 
respectively, ``Area supervisor'' and ``Region director (compliance).'' 
Second, amendatory instruction 131a, regarding section 40.11, referred 
to ``Regions'' and ``Regional director'' when it should have referred 
to ``Region'' and Regional Director (compliance),'' respectively.


0
Therefore, in the Federal Register of April 4, 2006, the following 
corrections are made:
0
(1) On page 16928, in the second column, paragraph ``a'' of amendatory 
instruction 67 is corrected to read as follows:
0
a. Remove the definitions of ``Area supervisor'', ``ATF bond'', ``ATF 
officer'', ``Director'', ``Region'', and ``Region director 
(compliance)''.

0
(2) On page 16948, in the first column, paragraph ``a'' of amendatory 
instruction 131 is corrected to read as follows:
0
a. Remove the definitions of ``Appropriate ATF officer'', ``Associate 
Director (Compliance Operations)'', ``ATF'', ``ATF officer'', 
``Director'', ``Region'', and ``Regional Director (compliance)''.
