Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 77 / Thursday, April 21, 2011 / Proposed Rules
regulations related to petitions for and
the establishment of viticultural areas as
found in 27 CFR parts 4 and 9. These
revisions are contained in T.D. TTB–90
(76 FR 3489). As such, references to
parts 4 and 9 regulatory sections within
Notice No. 34 may no longer be valid.
For example, the regulation outlining
the requirements that a proposed
viticultural area petition must meet,
formerly located in § 9.3, is now
contained in § 9.12. To view T.D. TTB–
90, go to https://edocket.access.gpo.gov/
2011/pdf/2011-1138.pdf; to view 27
CFR parts 4 and 9 in their current form,
go to the e-CFR at https://
www.gpoaccess.gov/ecfr/.
Determination To Re-Open Public
Comment Period
Given the conflicting evidence
provided by the original petitioner and
by some commenters with respect to the
distinguishing features and boundary of
the proposed viticultural area, and the
length of time that has passed since TTB
published Notice No. 34 and solicited
public comments on the proposed
establishment of the Fort Ross-Seaview
viticultural area, TTB has determined
that it would be appropriate to re-open
the comment period before taking any
final action concerning Notice No. 34.
Therefore, TTB reopens the comment
period for Notice No. 34 for an
additional 45 days, and comments are
thus due on or before June 6, 2011.

Comments Invited
TTB invites comments from interested
members of the public on whether or
not the agency should establish the
proposed ‘‘Fort Ross-Seaview’’
viticultural area in Sonoma County,
California. TTB is especially interested
in receiving comments on the
sufficiency and accuracy of the
proposed viticultural area’s name, ‘‘Fort
Ross-Seaview,’’ on the name’s
applicability to the proposed northern
expansion area, and on any alternative
names for the proposed viticultural area
and the northern expansion area. TTB
also is especially interested in public
comments on the appropriateness of the
proposed viticultural area’s
boundaries—is the proposed viticultural
area limited to the boundaries outlined
in Notice No. 34 or does the area extend
further to the north as stated by
opposing commenters? Please provide
specific information in support of your
comments.
