Forest Land Enhancement Program (FLEP), 402-403 [2014-30806]

Download as PDF 402 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations Impact on Current Wine Labels Drafting Information Part 4 of the TTB regulations prohibits any label reference on a wine that indicates or implies an origin other than the wine’s true place of origin. For a wine to be labeled with an AVA name or with a brand name that includes an AVA name, at least 85 percent of the wine must be derived from grapes grown within the area represented by that name, and the wine must meet the other conditions listed in § 4.25(e)(3) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(3)). If the wine is not eligible for labeling with an AVA name and that name appears in the brand name, then the label is not in compliance, and the bottler must change the brand name and obtain approval of a new label. Similarly, if the AVA name appears in another reference on the label in a misleading manner, the bottler would have to obtain approval of a new label. Different rules apply if a wine has a brand name containing an AVA name that was used as a brand name on a label approved before July 7, 1986. See § 4.39(i)(2) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.39(i)(2)) for details. The expansion of the Fair Play AVA will not affect any other existing AVA, and bottlers using ‘‘Fair Play,’’ ‘‘El Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra Foothills’’ as an appellation of origin or in a brand name for wines made from grapes within the ‘‘Fair Play,’’ ‘‘El Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra Foothills’’ AVAs will not be affected by this expansion of the Fair Play AVA. The expansion of the Fair Play AVA will allow vintners to use ‘‘Fair Play,’’ ‘‘El Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra Foothills’’ as appellations of origin for wines made primarily from grapes grown within the expansion area if the wines meet the eligibility requirements for the appellation. Karen A. Thornton of the Regulations and Rulings Division drafted this final rule. Regulatory Flexibility Act tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES TTB certifies that this regulation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The regulation imposes no new reporting, recordkeeping, or other administrative requirement. Any benefit derived from the use of an AVA name would be the result of a proprietor’s efforts and consumer acceptance of wines from that area. Therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required. Executive Order 12866 It has been determined that this rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993. Therefore, no regulatory assessment is required. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:16 Jan 05, 2015 Jkt 235001 List of Subjects in 27 CFR Part 9 Wine.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest Land Enhancement Program (FLEP) 
was adopted in the 2002 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 107-171, Sec. 8002), as an 
amendment to the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (Pub. L.

educational, and cost-share assistance to promote the sustainability of 
NIPF forests. The law provided FLEP with $100 million from the
