The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) administers the regulations promulgated under the FAA Act. Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR part 4) allows the establishment of definitive viticultural areas and the use of their names as appellations of origin on wine labels and in wine advertisements.

Definition 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 having distinguishing features as described in part 9 of the regulations and a name and a delineated boundary as established in part 9 of the regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of April 6, 2011 (76 FR 19192), FDA 
proposed requirements to implement the menu labeling provisions of the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable Care 
Act). Specifically, FDA proposed to require that restaurants and 
similar retail food establishments that are a part of a chain with 20 
or more locations doing business under the same name, and offering for 
sale the same menu items, provide calorie and other nutrition 
information for standard menu items, including food on display and 
self-service food. FDA provided a 60-day comment period (i.e., until 
June 6, 2011) for that proposal.
    FDA has received several requests to extend the comment period. The 
requests stated that additional time is needed to comment on the 
proposed rule for a number of reasons, including a need for time to 
assess the effect of the proposal on the industry; a desire to conduct 
consumer research to support comments on the proposal; and the 
complexities of the proposed rule.
    FDA has considered the requests and is extending the comment period 
an additional 30 days, until July 5, 2011. We believe that this 
additional time will provide interested parties sufficient time to 
respond to the proposal.

II. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management 
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding this 
document. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no 
longer necessary to send two copies of mailed comments. Identify
