AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. International Trade
Commission is adopting as a final rule
the proposed rulemaking that revised
certain provisions of the agency’s rules
for investigations and related
proceedings under section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) to
provide for services of certain
Commission documents by overnight
delivery and provide one additional day
to respond to Commission documents
served by overnight delivery. These

rules will ensure effective service of
Commission documents on private
parties in section 337 investigations and
related proceedings.
DATES: Effective Date: March 23, 2007.
Applicability Date: The Commission
will adopt procedures to implement the
rules changes on April 2, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Clint A. Gerdine, Esq., telephone 202–
708–2310, Office of the General
Counsel, U.S. International Trade
Commission, 500 E Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20436. General
information concerning the Commission
may be obtained by accessing its
Internet server (https://www.usitc.gov).
Hearing-impaired persons are advised
that information on the final rulemaking
can be obtained by contacting the
Commission’s TDD terminal on 202–
205–1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 8, 2006 (71 FR 71113), the
Commission published a proposed
rulemaking that would revise the text of
§ 210.6 by dividing the current text and
designating the portions as paragraphs
(a) and (b), adding a new paragraph (c),
which provides that a party shall be
given one additional day to respond to
a Commission document when served
by overnight delivery, and adding
another new paragraph (d), which
defines ‘‘overnight delivery’’; and
amending the text of § 210.7 by revising
and redesignating paragraph 210.7(a) as
paragraph (a)(1) and adding new
paragraph (a)(2).
The sixty day public comment period
for the proposed rulemaking closed on
February 6, 2007. The Commission
received one set of comments, from the
ITC Trial Lawyers Association
(ITCTLA), in response to the proposed
rulemaking. The Commission has
considered the ITCTLA comments to
expand the scope of documents to be
served by overnight delivery to include
additional categories of documents. The
Commission’s response to these
comments is that the Commission will
consider whether to expand its
procedures to include other types of
documents after it has gained
experience with the new service
procedures. Thus, the Commission is
adopting the proposed rule as a final
rule without any changes.
Regulatory Analysis
The Commission has determined that
the final rules do not meet the criteria
described in Section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, Oct. 4, 1993)
and thus do not constitute a significant
regulatory action for purposes of the
Executive Order.
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
13689
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) is inapplicable to this
rulemaking because it is not one for
which a notice of rulemaking is required
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) or any other
statute. Although the Commission has
chosen to publish a notice of final
rulemaking, these proposed regulations
are ‘‘agency rules of procedure and
practice,’’ and thus are exempt from the
notice requirement imposed by 5 U.S.C.
553(b).
These final rules do not contain
federalism implications warranting the
preparation of a federalism summary
impact statement pursuant to Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, Aug. 4,
1999).
No actions are necessary under the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) because the final
rules will not result in the expenditure
by State, local, and tribal governments,
in the aggregate, or by the private sector,
of $100,000,000 or more in any one
year, and will not significantly or
uniquely affect small governments.
The final rules are not major rules as
defined by section 804 of the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (5 U.S.C. 801 et
seq.). Moreover, they are exempt from
the reporting requirements of the
Contract With America Advancement
Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121) because
they concern rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice that
do not substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties.
The amendments are not subject to
section 3504(h) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
since they do not contain any new
information collection requirements.

adding to the end of the prescribed
period the additional time allotted
under § 210.16(d), unless the
Commission, the administrative law
judge, or another section of this part
specifically provides otherwise.
(c) Whenever a party has the right or
is required to perform some act or to
take some action within a prescribed

document upon it, and the document

otherwise.

§ 201.16 of this chapter, unless the
Commission, the administrative law
judge, or this or another section of this
part specifically provides otherwise.
(2) The service of all initial
determinations as defined in § 210.42
and all documents containing
confidential business information—
issued by or on behalf of the
Commission or the administrative law
judge—on a private party shall be
effected by serving a copy of the
document by overnight delivery—as
defined in § 210.6(d)—on the person to
be served, on a member of the
partnership to be served, on the
president, secretary, other executive
officer, or member of the board of
directors of the corporation, association,
or other organization to be served, or, if
an attorney represents any of the above
before the Commission, by serving a
copy by overnight delivery on such
attorney.

SUMMARY: This Treasury decision
renames the ‘‘Sonoma County Green
Valley’’ viticultural area in northern
California as the ‘‘Green Valley of
Russian River Valley’’ viticultural area.
This decision does not affect the
location, size, or boundary of the
viticultural area. We designate
viticultural areas to allow vintners to
better describe the origin of their wines
and to allow consumers to better
identify wines they may purchase.
DATES: Effective Dates: This final rule is
effective on April 23, 2007. Wine
bottlers may continue to use approved
labels bearing the former viticultural
area name until April 23, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background on Viticultural Areas
TTB Authority
Section 105(e) of the Federal Alcohol
Administration Act (the FAA Act, 27
U.S.C. 201 et seq.) requires that alcohol
beverage labels provide consumers with
adequate information regarding product
identity and prohibits the use of
misleading information on those labels.
The FAA Act also authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue
regulations to carry out its provisions.
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and
Trade Bureau (TTB) administers these
regulations.
Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR
part 4) allows the establishment of
definitive viticultural areas and the use
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Section 4.25(e)(1)(i) of the TTB
regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(1)(i)) defines
a viticultural area for American wine as
a delimited grape-growing region
distinguishable by geographical
features, the boundaries of which have
been recognized and defined in part 9
of the regulations. These designations
allow vintners and consumers to
attribute a given quality, reputation, or
other characteristic of a wine made from
grapes grown in an area to its
geographical origin. The establishment
of viticultural areas allows vintners to
describe more accurately the origin of
their wines to consumers and helps
consumers to identify wines they may
purchase. Establishment of a viticultural
area is neither an approval nor an
endorsement by TTB of the wine
produced in that area.
Requirements
Section 4.25(e)(2) of the TTB
regulations outlines the procedure for
proposing an American viticultural area
and provides that any interested party
may petition TTB to establish a grapegrowing region as a viticultural area.
Petitioners may use the same procedure
to request changes involving existing
viticultural areas. Section 9.3(b) of the
TTB regulations requires the petition to
include—
• Evidence that the proposed
viticultural area is locally and/or
nationally known by the name specified
in the petition;
• Historical or current evidence that
supports setting the boundary of the
proposed viticultural area as the
petition specifies;
• Evidence relating to the
geographical features, such as climate,
soils, elevation, and physical features,
that distinguish the proposed
viticultural area from surrounding areas;
• A description of the specific
boundary of the proposed viticultural
area, based on features found on United
States Geological Survey (USGS) maps;
and
• A copy of the appropriate USGS
map(s) with the proposed viticultural
area’s boundary prominently marked.
A petition requesting a change to an
established viticultural area must
include the appropriate evidence
described above to support the
requested change.

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) to provide for services
of certain Commission documents by overnight delivery and provide one

documents on private parties in section 337 investigations and related
proceedings.
DATES: Effective Date: March 23, 2007.
Applicability Date: The Commission will adopt procedures to
implement the rules changes on April 2, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clint A. Gerdine, Esq., telephone 202-

Internet server (https://www.usitc.gov). Hearing-impaired persons are
advised that information on the final rulemaking can be obtained by
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 8, 2006 (71 FR 71113), the
Commission published a proposed rulemaking that would revise the text
of Sec. 210.6 by dividing the current text and designating the
portions as paragraphs (a) and (b), adding a new paragraph (c), which
provides that a party shall be given one additional day to respond to a

another new paragraph (d), which defines ``overnight delivery''; and
amending the text of Sec. 210.7 by revising and redesignating
paragraph 210.7(a) as paragraph (a)(1) and adding new paragraph (a)(2).
The sixty day public comment period for the proposed rulemaking
closed on February 6, 2007. The Commission received one set of
comments, from the ITC Trial Lawyers Association (ITCTLA), in response
to the proposed rulemaking. The Commission has considered the ITCTLA
comments to expand the scope of documents to be served by overnight
delivery to include additional categories of documents. The
Commission's response to these comments is that the Commission will
consider whether to expand its procedures to include other types of
documents after it has gained experience with the new service
procedures. Thus, the Commission is adopting the proposed rule as a
final rule without any changes.
Regulatory Analysis
The Commission has determined that the final rules do not meet the
criteria described in Section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
