Revision of Distilled Spirits Plant 

Regulations; Corrections 

AGENCY: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 

Trade Bureau, Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision; 

correction. 

SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax 

and Trade Bureau published a final rule 

revising its distilled spirits plant 

regulations in the Federal Register of 

February 16, 2011 (76 FR 9080). That 

final rule contained several 

typographical and textual errors. This 

document corrects those errors. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 18, 2011.

and Rulings Division, Alcohol and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 

Bureau (TTB) recently published a final 

rule completely revising its distilled 

spirits plant regulations as contained in 

27 CFR part 19. TTB published this final 

rule as T.D. TTB–92 in the Federal 

Register of February 16, 2011 (see 76 FR 

9080). The final rule also amended 

cross-references to part 19 found in 27 

CFR parts 1, 17, 24, 26, 28, 30 and 31. 

T.D. TTB–92 is effective on April 18, 

2011. 

After its publication, TTB found that 

T.D. TTB–92 contained several 

typographical and textual errors in the 

revised regulations in part 19 and a 

textual error in an amendatory 

instruction for part 31. This document 

corrects those errors. 

Specifically, typographical errors are 

corrected in T.D. TTB–92 in the part 19 

table of contents listing for § 19.26 

(‘‘Alternate’’ rather than ‘‘lternate’’), in 

the ‘‘Authority’’ citation at the beginning 

of the part (‘‘5121–5124’’ rather than 

‘‘5121, 5122–5124’’), and in the section 

heading for § 19.603 (‘‘§ 19.603’’ rather 

than ‘‘§ 10.603’’). In § 19.1, in the 

definition of ‘‘Lot identification 

number,’’ the cross-reference to ‘‘27 CFR 

19.485’’ is corrected to read ‘‘§ 19.485’’ 

for consistency with other internal part 

19 cross references. Also in § 19.1, the 

definitions of ‘‘Kind’’ and ‘‘Package 

identification number’’ are corrected to 

use the new part 19 section numbers 

contained in T.D. TTB–92 rather than 

section numbers from the version of part 

19 being replaced. 

In § 19.454(a), TTB is correcting 

‘‘SDA’’ to read ‘‘denatured spirits’’ in 

order to clarify that denatured spirits, 

including specially denatured spirits 

and completely denatured alcohol, 

withdrawn free of tax under 27 CFR part 

20 may be returned to bonded premises 

in accordance with § 19.454. In 

§ 19.454(e), TTB is correcting ‘‘SDA’’ to 

read ‘‘specially denatured spirits’’ in 

order to clarify that specially denatured 

spirits, including specially denatured 

alcohol and specially denatured rum, 

withdrawn free of tax for export under 

27 CFR part 28 may be returned to 

bonded premises in accordance with 

§ 19.454. 

Also, as described in T.D. TTB–92, 

TTB intends to require serial numbers 

on certain records to either commence 

with the number ‘‘1’’ each calendar or 

fiscal year or otherwise be unique and 

not repeated. These numbering options 

are incorporated into the recordkeeping 

requirements contained in § 19.618, 

Gauge record, and § 19.620, Transfer 

record—consignor’s responsibility. 

However, the option to use a unique, 

non-repeated number was inadvertently 

left out of § 19.599, Bottling and packing 

records. TTB is therefore correcting 

§ 19.599(b) to conform to the similar 

recordkeeping requirements found in 

§§ 19.618 and 19.620. 

In addition, the amendatory 

instruction updating a cross-reference to 

part 19 in 27 CFR part 30 was 

incorrectly phrased. When referring to 

the existing text of § 30.31(d), the 

amendatory instructions in T.D. TTB–92 

should have used the phrase ‘‘27 CFR 

19.383’’ rather than merely ‘‘§ 19.383.’’ 

Corrections 

In the final rule document numbered 

FR Doc. 2011–1956 beginning on page 

9080 in the Federal Register issue of

column, in the authority citation for 27 

CFR part 19, in the fourth line, the

corrected to read ‘‘5121–5124’’. 

§ 19.1 [Corrected]

identification number,’’ the crossreference to ‘‘27 CFR 19.595’’ is

§ 19.454 [Corrected] 

■ 6. On page 9140, in the first column

‘‘Denatured spirits withdrawn free of tax 

under part 20 of this chapter’’. 

■ 7. On page 9140, in the first column 

of the table (titled ‘‘Type of product’’), in 

paragraph (e), the sentence ‘‘SDA 

withdrawn free of tax for export under 

part 28 of this chapter’’ is corrected to 

read ‘‘Specially denatured spirits 

withdrawn free of tax for export under 

part 28 of this chapter’’. 

§ 19.599 [Corrected] 

■ 8. On page 9152, in the second 

column, in § 19.599, in paragraph (b), 

the text ‘‘Serial number of the record 

(beginning with ‘‘1’’ at the start of each 

calendar or fiscal year)’’ is corrected to 

read ‘‘Serial number of the record 

(which must commence with ‘‘1’’ at the 

start of each calendar or fiscal year, or 

be a unique identifying number that is 

not repeated)’’. 

§ 19.603 [Corrected] 

■ 9. On page 9153, in the first column, 

the section heading ‘‘§ 10.603, Liquor 

bottle records’’ is corrected to read 

‘‘§ 19.603, Liquor bottle records’’. 

§ 30.31 [Corrected] 

■ 10. On page 9171, in the third column, 

in paragraph 16, in the amendatory 

instructions for § 30.31, the phrase ‘‘the

read ‘‘the reference to ‘27 CFR 19.383’ of 

this chapter’’.

II. Background 

ITVERP is a Federal program that 

provides reimbursement to nationals of 

the United States and Federal 

government employees (and certain 

family members of such individuals, 

under some circumstances), who are 

victims of international terrorism and 

who incur expenses as a result of such 

incidents. For further information, see 

the ITVERP Web site at http:// 

www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ovc/intdir/itverp. 

OVC is promulgating (pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. 10603c and 42 U.S.C. 10604(a)) 

this interim-final rule to provide the 

Director of OVC with express 

discretionary authority to accept claims 

filed more than three years after the date 

that an incident is designated as one of 

international terrorism. Largely owing to 

considerations of administrative 

convenience, the present ITVERP rule 

regarding application deadlines limits 

the period within which OVC would 

entertain waivers of claim filing 

deadlines. Based on experience 

administering the program since it went 

into effect in 2006, OVC has determined 

that this limit on waivers of late claims 

may lead to denials of reimbursement 

for victims with otherwise meritorious 

claims, even under circumstances where 

tolling of the deadline would be 

appropriate. 

The rule will allow the Director of 

OVC to toll or extend the deadline for 

a late-filed claim where the Director 

finds good cause to do so. In the 

ordinary course, a showing of good 

cause generally would require that the 

claimant submit a written explanation— 

satisfactory to the Director—for missing 

the deadline. Examples of good cause 

include situations where a victim’s 

treatment for injuries sustained in an 

incident were covered initially by 

collateral sources, but these sources 

later become unavailable after the filing 

deadline has expired; where outreach to 

overseas claimants has not been 

effective; and where a claimant’s 

extended illness, living abroad in 

remote areas for extended periods of 

time, or barriers to accessing 

information about the program led to 

the late filing. Absent circumstances 

consonant with the foregoing, good 

cause would not exist; thus, for 

example, claimant’s missing the 

deadline due to mere inattentiveness to 

the program’s deadlines would not be 

sufficient to establish good cause. 

The amended rule will not alter any 

existing regulatory deadlines, nor will it 

impose any new deadlines (or any 

burden whatsoever) on claimants, but 

instead merely will operate to relieve an 

administrative restriction, in the 

existing rule, on claim filing (such rule 

having been promulgated largely for the 

administrative convenience of OVC, 

which has found it, over the course of 

four years of program administration, to 

be unnecessary). This rule is being 

published in interim-final form, 

effective immediately, as there are 

presently ITVERP claims before OVC 

that might otherwise be unnecessarily 

denied or delayed. 

III. Regulatory Requirements 

Executive Order 12866—Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

This regulation has been drafted in 

accordance with Exec. Order No. 12866, 

section 1(b), 58 FR 51, 735 (Sept. 30, 

1993), Principles of Regulation. OJP has 

determined that this regulation is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order No. 12866. 

Nevertheless, this regulation has been 

reviewed, in accordance with the 

general principles of Executive Order 

No. 12866, by the Office of Management 

and Budget. 

Administrative Procedure Act 

OVC’s implementation of this rule as 

an interim-final rule, with provision for 

post-promulgation public comment, is 

based on findings of good cause 

pursuant to the Administrative 

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 

(d)). This minor rule amendment merely 

alleviates a procedural restriction on
