SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On August 
17, 2017, the Board published in the Federal Register a proposed new rating system for its supervision of large financial institutions. The proposed ‘‘Large Financial Institution Rating System’’ is closely aligned with the Federal Reserve’s new supervisory program for large financial institutions. The proposed rating system would apply to all bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more; all non-insurance, non- commercial savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more; and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations 
established pursuant to the Federal Reserve’s Regulation YY. The proposed rating system includes a new rating scale under which component ratings would be assigned for capital planning and positions, liquidity risk management and positions, and governance and controls; however, a standalone composite rating would not be assigned. The Federal Reserve proposes to assign initial ratings under the new rating system during 2018. The Federal Reserve is also seeking comment on proposed revisions to existing provisions in Regulations K and LL so they would remain consistent with certain features of the proposed rating system. 
In recognition of the range of issues 
addressed and the variety of considerations involved with implementing the proposal, the Board requested that commenters respond to a number of questions. The proposal stated that the public comment period would close on October 16, 2017.
1 
The Board believes that the additional 
period for comment will facilitate public comment on the provisions of the proposal and the questions posed by the Board. Therefore, the Board is extending the end of the comment period for the proposal from October 16, 2017, to November 30, 2017. 
By order of the Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System, acting through the 
Secretary of the Board under delegated authority, October 5, 2017. 
Ann E. Misback, Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : In Notice 
No. 165, a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on November 17, 2016 (81 FR 
81023), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) requested public comment on proposals to amend its wine labeling regulations by adding a number of new names to the list of grape variety names approved for use in designating American wines, removing one existing entry and replacing it with a slightly different name, and correcting the spelling of another existing entry. The proposed amendments would allow wine bottlers to use additional approved grape variety names on wine labels and in wine advertisements. The 60-day comment period for Notice No. 165 
originally closed on January 17, 2017. 
During the original comment period, 
TTB received three requests to extend the comment period. The first request came from the National Association of Beverage Importers (NABI), an alcohol beverage industry trade association, and requested a 60-day extension of the comment period for Notice No. 165. In its request, NABI noted that Notice No. 165 was issued during the busy holiday season when many compliance personnel took vacation time, and it noted that the proposed list of 51 new grape variety names includes terms that appear as brand names on various beverage alcohol products. The NABI request stated that its members require additional time ‘‘to assure that potential conflicts, confusion, misunderstanding or other issues are brought to the attention of TTB.’’ The NABI comment is posted as Comment 5 within Docket No. TTB–2016–0011 on the Regulations.gov Web site at https://
www.regulations.gov. 
The second request was submitted on 
behalf of the French Federation of Wine and Spirits Exporters (FEVS), and it also requested a 60-day extension of the comment period for Notice No. 165 (see Comment 9). The FEVS comment noted that it was unable to gather enough information to comment on the proposals in Notice No. 165, including the proposed addition of Esprit to the approved list of grape names ‘‘due to an extended holiday season.’’ The comment stated that FEVS required additional time to finalize its research of the COLA database and to bring to TTB’s attention any potential conflicts between Esprit as an approved grape name and common terms used in wine brand or fanciful names. 
The third request was submitted by 
the law firm of Dickerson, Peatman and Fogarty on behalf of ‘‘certain French wine producers that sell wine into the U.S. under a brand or fanciful name that includes the word ‘‘Esprit’’ (see 
Comment 18). The comment added that these producers only recently became aware of the proposed addition of Esprit to the list of approved grape names for American wines and are concerned that such action may adversely impact their intellectual property rights and ability to sell their wine in the U.S. The commenter, therefore, requested an extension of the comment period but did not specify a time period. 
In response to these requests, TTB is 
reopening the comment period for Notice No. 165 for an additional 60 days. TTB believes that an additional 60-day comment period will allow all interested parties to fully consider the impact of the new grape varietal names for American wines proposed in Notice No. 165. 
Therefore, comments on Notice No. 
165 are now due on or before December 11, 2017. Comments on Notice No. 165 may be submitted as described above in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

Proposed Revisions to Wine Labeling 
and Recordkeeping Requirements; Comment Period Reopening 
AGENCY : Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 
Trade Bureau, Treasury. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking; 
reopening of comment period. 
SUMMARY : The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax 
and Trade Bureau (TTB) is reopening for an additional 90 days the comment period for Notice No. 160, Proposed Revisions to Wine Labeling and Recordkeeping Requirements, a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal Register on June 22, 2016. 
In Notice No. 160, TTB proposed to amend its labeling and recordkeeping regulations in 27 CFR part 24 to provide that any standard grape wine containing 7 percent or more alcohol by volume that is covered by a certificate of exemption from label approval may be labeled with a varietal (grape type) designation, a type designation of varietal significance, a vintage date, or an appellation of origin only if the wine is labeled in compliance with the standards set forth in the appropriate sections of 27 CFR part 4 for that label information. TTB also proposed to amend its part 4 wine labeling regulations to include a reference to the new part 24 requirement. TTB is reopening the comment period a second time in response to requests from a number of commenters. In addition,
