SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 23, 2004, Congress 

transmitted the Miscellaneous Trade 

and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 

(the Act) to President Bush for 

signature. Section 2002 of the Act 

would amend section 5382(a) of the 

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC), 26 

U.S.C. 5382(a), which sets forth 

standards regarding what constitutes 

proper cellar treatment of natural wine. 

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 

Trade Bureau (TTB) is responsible for 

the administration of the IRC provisions 

relating to wine. 

The amendment to section 5382(a) 

would add a certification requirement 

regarding production practices and 

procedures for imported wine. Under 

the amended statute, for wine produced 

after December 31, 2004, the Secretary 

of the Treasury will accept the practices 

and procedures used to produce the 

wine, if, at the time of importation, one 

of the following conditions is met: 

1. The Secretary has on file or is 

provided with a certification from the 

government of the producing country, 

accompanied by an affirmed laboratory 

analysis, that the practices and 

procedures used to produce the wine 

constitute proper cellar treatment; 

2. The Secretary has on file or is 

provided with a certification, if any, as 

may be required by an international 

agreement or treaty specifying practices 

and procedures acceptable to the United 

States; or 

71874 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 237 / Friday, December 10, 2004 / Notices 

3. In the case of an importer that owns 

or controls or has an affiliate that owns 

or controls a winery operating under a 

basic permit issued by the Secretary, the 

importer certifies that the practices and 

procedures used to produce the wine 

constitute proper cellar treatment. 

Public Meeting 

In anticipation of the President’s 

signing this legislation into law, TTB 

has determined that it would be 

appropriate to hold a public meeting to 

discuss these developments. The 

purpose of the meeting is to advise the 

public of TTB’s plans for 

implementation of the new certification 

requirements and to answer any 

questions the public may have regarding 

this provision. 

The meeting will be held on 

December 15, 2004, from 2 p.m. to 4 

p.m. at the Treasury Executive Institute, 

801 9th Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20220. Due to limited space, admittance 

will be on a first-come basis. 

Submission of Comments 

No written record of the meeting will 

be maintained. Therefore, comments or 

suggestions made at the meeting must 

be submitted in writing in order to be 

considered part of the agency record. 

All written comments and submitted 

materials are part of the public record 

and subject to disclosure. Do not 

provide any material in your comments 

that you consider confidential or 

inappropriate for public disclosure. 

Members of the public who wish to 

submit written comments after the 

meeting must do so no later than 

January 15, 2005. All comments must 

include this notice number and your 

name and mailing address. Your 

comments must be legible and written

disclosure. We do not acknowledge 

receipt of comments, and we regard all

issuing a temporary rule with an
