Implementation of Statutory 
Amendments Requiring the Modification of the Definition of Hard Cider 
AGENCY : Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 
Trade Bureau, Treasury. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking; 
cross-reference to temporary rule. 
SUMMARY : Elsewhere in this issue of the 
Federal Register, by means of a temporary rule, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) implements changes made to the definition of ‘‘hard cider’’ in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. The modified definition broadens the range of wines eligible for the hard cider tax rate. TTB is amending its regulations to reflect the modified definition of hard cider effective for products removed on or after January 1, 2017, and to set forth new labeling requirements to identify products to which the hard cider tax rate applies. The new labeling requirements include both a one-year transitional rule and a new labeling requirement that takes effect for products removed on or after January 1, 2018. The text of the regulations in that temporary rule published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register serves as the text of the proposed regulations. 
DATES : Comments must be received on 
or before March 24, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Background 
On December 18, 2015, the President 
signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Pub. L. 114– 113). Division Q of this Act is titled the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act). Section 335(a) of the PATH Act amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC) at 26 U.S.C. 5041 by modifying the definition of hard cider for excise tax classification purposes. Pursuant to section 335(b) of the PATH Act, the amended definition of hard cider applies to such products removed on or after January 1, 2017. The PATH Act does not change the tax rate applicable to wine eligible for the hard cider tax rate; rather, it broadens the range of products to which the hard cider tax rate applies. Among other things, the range of products to which the hard cider tax rate applies will include certain sparkling and carbonated products and certain products that are subject to the requirements of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act). 
Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal 
Register, TTB is publishing temporary regulations making amendments to parts 24 and 27 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR parts 24 and 27) to implement the changes made to the definition of ‘‘hard cider’’ in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 by the PATH Act. The text of the temporary regulations serves as the text of these proposed regulations. The preamble to the temporary regulations explains the proposed regulations. 
Public Participation Comments Sought

interested members of the public on the 
proposed changes to our regulations in 27 CFR parts 24 and 27, which are described in detail in the temporary rule issued in conjunction with this notice of proposed rulemaking and published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. TTB is particularly interested in comments on the labeling provisions and any alternatives to requiring that ‘‘Tax Class 5041(b)(6)’’ appear on the labels of products to which the hard cider tax rate applies. Please provide specific information in support of your comments.

Marine Casualty Reporting Property 
Damage Thresholds 
AGENCY : Coast Guard, DHS. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking. 
SUMMARY : The Coast Guard proposes to 
amend the monetary property damage threshold amounts for reporting a marine casualty, and for reporting a type of marine casualty called a ‘‘serious marine incident’’ (SMI). The initial regulations setting these dollar threshold amounts were promulgated in the early1980s and they have not been updated. Because the monetary thresholds for reporting have not kept pace with inflation, relatively minor casualties must be reported. Additionally, the regulations require mandatory drug and alcohol testing following an SMI; consequently, testing is being conducted for casualties that are less significant than those intended to be captured by the original regulations. Updating the regulations will reduce the burden on vessel owners and operators, and will also reduce the amount of Coast Guard resources expended to investigate these incidents. 
DATES : Comments and related material 
must be submitted to the online docket via http://www.regulations.gov, or reach 
the Docket Management Facility, on or before March 24, 2017. 
Comments sent to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) on collection of information must reach OMB on or before March 24, 2017.
