SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Notice
No. 145, a notice of proposed
rulemaking published in the Federal
Register on August 7, 2014 (79 FR
46204), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
and Trade Bureau (TTB) requested
public comment on the proposed
expansion of the approximately 33,380acre ‘‘Sta. Rita Hills’’ American
viticultural area (27 CFR 9.162) in Santa
Barbara County, California. The
proposed expansion would increase the
AVA by approximately 2,296 acres and
would move the northeastern boundary
of the AVA east to a north-to-south
˜
canyon known as the ‘‘Canada de los
Palos Blancos,’’ located west of
Buellton. The proposed expansion area
contains three commercial vineyards,
two of which are currently divided by
the existing AVA boundary. The 60-day
comment period for Notice No. 145 was
originally scheduled to close on October
6, 2014.
On August 18, 2014, TTB received a
letter from the chairman of the Sta. Rita
Hills Winegrowers Alliance requesting a
90-day extension of the comment period
for Notice No. 145 in order to allow
more time for industry members to
submit comments. The letter states that
many local grape growers and
winemakers are in the process of
bottling previous vintages and preparing
for harvest and thus do not have
adequate time to prepare and submit
comments before the end of the
PO 00000

comment period. This request is posted
as Comment 20 within Docket No. TTB–
2014–0007 at www.regulations.gov.
In response to this request, TTB
extends the comment period for Notice
No. 145 for an additional 60 days.
Therefore, comments on Notice No. 145
are now due on or before December 5,
2014. TTB believes that an additional 60
days is an adequate extension of the
comment period and is consistent with
previous comment period extensions
TTB has granted. TTB does not believe
a 90-day extension is necessary because
neither Notice No. 145 nor the petition
and its supporting materials are
voluminous or unusually complex, and
a 60-day extension will extend the
comment period deadline well past the
peak of the typical harvest period.
