Background
On September 26, 2006, the
Department of the Treasury and the IRS
published in the Federal Register
proposed regulations (71 FR 56072;
REG–140379–02, REG–142599–02) (the
Proposed Regulations) that would
amend certain regulations under
sections 141 and 145. The Proposed
Regulations include, among other
provisions, certain general definitions
for purposes of the private business tests
under section 141 and rules regarding
the treatment of certain partnerships for
purposes of the modified private
business tests and the ownership test
under section 145. This document
withdraws these general definitions and
the provision relating to the treatment of
partnerships for purposes of section
145, because these concepts either are
unnecessary or are otherwise addressed
as a result of other revisions to the
remaining portions of the Proposed
Regulations that are adopted as final
regulations published elsewhere in this
edition of the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TTB
received a petition from Dr. Alan
Busacca, a licensed geologist and
founder of Vinitas Consultants, LLC, on
behalf of the Palouse-Lewis Clark Valley
Wine Alliance and the Clearwater
Economic Development Association.
The petition proposed to establish the
approximately 306,650-acre ‘‘LewisClark Valley’’ AVA and to modify the
boundary of the existing ‘‘Columbia
Valley’’ AVA (27 CFR 9.74). The
proposed Lewis-Clark Valley AVA is
located at the confluence of the Snake
River and the Clearwater River and
covers portions of Nez Perce, Lewis,
Clearwater, and Latah Counties in
northern Idaho and Asotin, Garfield,
and Whitman Counties in southeastern
Washington.
A small portion of the proposed
Lewis-Clark Valley AVA would, if
established, overlap the southeastern
corner of the established Columbia
Valley AVA. To eliminate the potential
overlap, the petitioner proposed to
modify the boundary of the Columbia
Valley AVA so that the overlapping area
(hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘proposed
realignment area’’) would be solely
within the proposed Lewis-Clark Valley
AVA. The proposed modifications
would reduce the size of the
approximately 11,370,320-acre
Columbia Valley AVA boundary by
approximately 57,020 acres.
TTB published Notice No. 149 in the
Federal Register on April 14, 2015 (80
FR 19901). In Notice No. 149, TTB
described the characteristics of the
proposed Lewis-Clark Valley AVA and
the rationale for the modification of the
boundary of the Columbia Valley AVA
and solicited public comment on the
proposals. The comment period closed
June 15, 2015.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:30 Oct 26, 2015
Jkt 238001
During the comment period, TTB
received a comment from a vineyard
owner within the proposed realignment
area. According to the commenter, his
vineyard is the estate vineyard for a
winery that is also located within the
proposed realignment area. The
commenter stated that the proposed
realignment area has characteristics
similar to those of the Columbia Valley
and should not be removed from that
AVA. Specifically, the commenter
stated, ‘‘The geology, soils, and climate
of the proposed Lewis-Clark Valley
AVA are quite similar to those of the
Columbia Valley and mostly lay within
the elevations affected by the Missoula
floods.’’ The comment is posted as
Comment 35 within Docket No. TTB–
2015–0005 at www.regulations.gov.
Determination To Re-Open the Public
Comment Period
TTB reviewed all comments received
in response to Notice No. 149 with
reference to the original petition
information. TTB believes that the
comment period for Notice No. 149,
which was open for 60 days, was
adequate to obtain information on the
initially proposed regulation. However,
TTB notes that if the proposed
realignment area were to be removed
from the Columbia Valley AVA and
placed into the proposed Lewis-Clark
Valley AVA, wines made primarily from
grapes grown within the proposed
realignment area would no longer be
eligible to be labeled with the
‘‘Columbia Valley’’ appellation of
origin. Therefore, because of the
potential effect on label holders if TTB
were to adopt the proposed
modification of the Columbia Valley
AVA boundary, TTB has determined
that it would be appropriate in this
instance to re-open the comment period,
for the specific purpose of obtaining
further public comment on the proposed
boundary modification, before taking
any further regulatory action on this
matter.
TTB is, therefore, re-opening the
comment period on Notice No. 149 for
an additional 30 days, in order to obtain
additional comments on the
characteristics of the proposed
realignment area. Comments on Notice
No. 149 are now due on or before
November 27, 2015. TTB is specifically
interested in comments on whether the
evidence provided in the petition to
establish the proposed Lewis-Clark
Valley AVA and to modify the boundary
of the Columbia Valley AVA adequately
demonstrates that the characteristics of
the proposed realignment area are more
similar to those of the rest of the
proposed Lewis-Clark Valley AVA than

on behalf of the Palouse-Lewis Clark Valley Wine Alliance and the
