§ 418.3335 What types of unearned income 

do we count? 

* * * * * 

(b) For claims filed before January 1, 

2010, and redeterminations that are 

effective before January 1, 2010, we also 

count in-kind support and maintenance 

as unearned income. In-kind support 

and maintenance is any food and shelter 

given to you or that you receive because 

someone else pays for it. 

§ 418.3345 [Removed] 

■ 5. Remove § 418.3345. 

■ 6. Revise § 418.3350 to read as 

follows: 

§ 418.3350 What types of unearned income 

do we not count? 

(a) For claims filed on or after January 

1, 2010 and redeterminations that are 

effective on or after January 1, 2010, we 

do not count as income in-kind support 

and maintenance. 

(b) While we must know the source 

and amount of all of your unearned 

income, we do not count all of it to 

determine your eligibility for the 

subsidy. We apply to your unearned 

income the exclusions in § 418.3350(c) 

in the order listed. However, we do not 

reduce your unearned income below 

zero, and we do not apply any unused 

unearned income exclusion to earned 

income except for the $20 per month 

exclusion described in § 416.1124(c)(12) 

of this chapter. For purposes of 

determining eligibility for a subsidy and 

whether you should receive a full or 

partial subsidy, we treat the $20 per 

month exclusion as a $240 per year 

exclusion. 

(c) We do not count as income the 

unearned income described in 

§ 416.1124(b) and (c) of this chapter, 

except for paragraph (c)(13). 

(d) We do not count as income any 

dividends or interest earned on 

resources you or your spouse owns. 

■ 7. Amend § 418.3405 to revise 

paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 418.3405 What types of resources do we 

count? 

(a) We count liquid resources. Liquid 

resources are cash, financial accounts, 

and other financial instruments that can 

be converted to cash within 20 

workdays, excluding certain nonworkdays as explained in § 416.120(d) 

of this chapter. Examples of resources 

that are ordinarily liquid include: 

stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, 

promissory notes, mortgages, life 

insurance policies (for claims filed 

before January 1, 2010, and 

redeterminations that are effective 

before January 1, 2010), financial 

institution accounts (including savings, 

checking, and time deposits, also known 

as certificates of deposit), retirement 

accounts (such as individual retirement 

accounts or 401(k) accounts), revocable 

trusts, funds in an irrevocable trust if 

the trust beneficiary can direct the use 

of the funds, and similar items. We will 

presume that these types of resources 

can be converted to cash within 20 

workdays and are countable as 

resources for subsidy determinations. 

However, if you establish that a 

particular resource cannot be converted 

to cash within 20 workdays, we will not 

count it as a resource. 

* * * * * 

■ 8. Amend § 418.3425 to revise 

paragraph (f) to read as follows: 

§ 418.3425 What resources do we exclude 

from counting? 

* * * * * 

(f) For claims filed on or after January 

1, 2010, and redeterminations that are

Expansion of the Santa Maria Valley 

Viticultural Area 

AGENCY: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 

Trade Bureau, Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision. 

SUMMARY: This Treasury decision 

expands the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area in Santa Barbara and 

San Luis Obispo Counties, California, by 

18,790 acres. We designate viticultural 

areas to allow vintners to better describe 

the origin of their wines and to allow 

consumers to better identify wines they 

may purchase. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 28, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background on Viticultural Areas 

TTB Authority 

Section 105(e) of the Federal Alcohol 

Administration Act (FAA Act), 27 

U.S.C. 205(e), authorizes the Secretary 

of the Treasury to prescribe regulations 

for the labeling of wine, distilled spirits, 

and malt beverages. The FAA Act 

requires that these regulations, among 

other things, prohibit consumer 

deception and the use of misleading 

statements on labels, and ensure that 

labels provide the consumer with 

adequate information as to the identity 

and quality of the product. The Alcohol 

and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 

(TTB) administers the regulations 

promulgated under the FAA Act. 

Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 

part 4) allows the establishment of 

definitive viticultural areas and the use 

of their names as appellations of origin 

on wine labels and in wine 

advertisements. Part 9 of the TTB 

regulations (27 CFR part 9) contains the 

list of approved viticultural areas. 

Definition 

Section 4.25(e)(1)(i) of the TTB 

regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(1)(i)) defines 

a viticultural area for American wine as 

a delimited grape-growing region 

distinguishable by geographical 

features, the boundaries of which have 

been recognized and defined in part 9 

of the regulations. These designations 

allow vintners and consumers to 

attribute a given quality, reputation, or 

other characteristic of a wine made from 

grapes grown in an area to its 

geographical origin. The establishment 

of viticultural areas allows vintners to 

describe more accurately the origin of 

their wines to consumers and helps 

consumers to identify wines they may 

purchase. Establishment of a viticultural 

area is neither an approval nor an 

endorsement by TTB of the wine 

produced in that area. 

Requirements 

Section 4.25(e)(2) of the TTB 

regulations outlines the procedure for 

proposing an American viticultural area 

and provides that any interested party 

may petition TTB to establish a grapegrowing region as a viticultural area. 

Section 9.3(b) of the TTB regulations 

requires the petition to include— 

• Evidence that the proposed 

viticultural area is locally and/or 

nationally known by the name specified 

in the petition; 

• Historical or current evidence that 

supports setting the boundary of the 

proposed viticultural area as the 

petition specifies; 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 81847 

• Evidence relating to the 

geographical features, such as climate, 

soils, elevation, and physical features 

that distinguish the proposed 

viticultural area from surrounding areas; 

• A description of the specific 

boundary of the proposed viticultural 

area, based on features found on United 

States Geological Survey (USGS) maps; 

and 

• A copy of the appropriate USGS 

map(s) with the proposed viticultural 

area’s boundary prominently marked. 

Santa Maria Valley Expansion Petition 

Background 

On August 5, 1981, the Bureau of 

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), 

our predecessor agency, published T.D. 

ATF–89 in the Federal Register at 46 FR 

39811 (August 5, 1981), establishing the 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area (27 

CFR 9.28) on 97,483 acres in southern 

San Luis Obispo and northern Santa 

Barbara counties, largely within the 

Central Coast viticultural area (27 CFR 

9.75). A small portion of the existing 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area lies 

outside of the Central Coast area’s 

boundary within the Los Padres 

National Forest where no grape-growing 

takes place. In the Geographical 

Evidence section, T.D. ATF–89 stated 

that prevailing ocean winds blow west 

to east, into and through the Santa 

Maria Valley. The winds create a 

climate where air temperatures are 

cooler in summer and winter, but 

warmer in fall, than the surrounding 

areas. 

In March 2006, Sara Schorske of 

Compliance Service of America, Inc., on 

behalf of a group of local winery and 

vineyard owners, submitted a petition 

proposing an expansion of the southern 

and western boundaries of the current 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area. The 

petition presented evidence and 

documentation in recognition of the 

geographical name of the proposed 

southern expansion area and in support 

of the similarities of its climate, soils, 

terrain, and watershed with those of the 

original viticultural area. The petition 

also documented significant commercial 

viticulture to the south of the original 

southern boundary line. TTB returned 

the March 2006 petition to expand the 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area 

with a letter urging the petitioner to 

delete the western expansion portion, 

about which sufficient evidence was not 

presented. 

Ms. Schorske then submitted the 

current petition, which requests only a 

southern expansion (consisting of 

18,790 acres) of the original Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area. The expansion 

area lies in northern Santa Barbara 

County, according to the boundary 

description and USGS maps, and is 

entirely within the Central Coast 

viticultural area. The expansion area 

includes 9 vineyards, 255 acres of 

commercial viticulture, and 60 to 200 

acres under viticultural development, 

according to the petition. 

Name Evidence 

The current petition explains that the 

original petition supporting the 

establishment of the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area in 1981 documented 

the ‘‘Santa Maria Valley’’ name for the 

geographical area. Hence, T.D. ATF–89, 

in establishing the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area, determined that the 

most appropriate name for the 

geographical area was Santa Maria 

Valley. 

The current petition states that the 

southern expansion of the Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area follows the 

watershed boundary line between the 

Santa Maria Valley to the north and the 

Los Alamos Valley to the south. The 

current petition relies on the Santa 

Maria River watershed for name 

recognition of the expansion area. 

Boundary Evidence 

The original southern boundary line 

of the Santa Maria Valley viticultural 

area follows Foxen Canyon Road and 

Clark Avenue, at Sisquoc, for 4.2 miles 

inside the southern perimeter of the 

Santa Maria River watershed, according 

to the current boundary description and 

USGS maps. On the south side of the 

Santa Maria Valley watershed, the 

creeks drain northward to lower 

elevations, through the valley, and into 

the Santa Maria River, as shown on 

USGS maps. Computer-generated 

watershed maps show that the 

expansion of the southern boundary line 

conforms to the Santa Maria River 

watershed, according to the petition. 

The boundary line of the southern 

expansion of the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area, going clockwise, starts 

at the southeast corner of the current 

viticultural area boundary and travels in 

a straight line west-northwest, over the 

Solomon Hills to its intersection with 

U.S. Route 101, according to the 

boundary description and USGS maps. 

Following U.S. 101, the boundary line 

continues north to Clark Avenue in 

Orcutt, rejoining the original boundary 

line of the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area. 

Distinguishing Features 

Santa Maria Valley Viticultural Area as 

Established by T.D. ATF–89 

TTB notes that in establishing the 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area, 

T.D. ATF–89 cited terrain, soils, and 

climate as distinguishing features. 

Terrain: According to T.D. ATF–89, 

the boundary line of the Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area surrounds the 

Santa Maria Valley floor, adjacent 

canyons, and sloping terraces. 

Elevations vary from a low of 200 feet 

at the Santa Maria River to a high of 

3,200 feet at Tepusquet Peak. As shown 

on the USGS Foxen Canyon map, a 

westward projection of the San Rafael 

Mountains, peaking at 1,801 feet in 

elevation, extends about 4 miles into the 

southeast portion of the original Santa 

Maria Valley viticultural area. 

According to USGS maps, the original 

southern boundary line varies from 600 

to 1,000 feet in elevation. Vineyards 

within the original viticultural area 

were planted between elevations of 300 

feet on the valley floor and 800 feet on 

the slopes of the rolling hillsides. 

Soils and Climate: According to T.D. 

ATF–89, the soils of the Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area are well drained 

and fertile, and range in texture from 

sandy loam to clay loam. The 

prevailing, cooling, marine-influenced 

ocean winds are also important to the 

viticultural area. 

Current Petition to Expand the Santa 

Maria Valley Viticultural Area 

Terrain: The petition states that the 

geography of the southern expansion of 

the Santa Maria Valley viticultural area 

is similar to that inside the original 

southern boundary line. The valley lies 

along an east-southeast axis, and is 

about 16 miles long within the existing 

viticultural area and the expansion area 

(‘‘Locations of Weather Stations and 

Selected Vineyards and Wineries,’’ map, 

undated). In the southern expansion 

area, gently rolling hills give way to a 

more rugged terrain of canyons and 

steep slopes, as shown on USGS maps. 

Elevations in the southern expansion 

area vary between around 440 feet near 

Sisquoc to 1,360 feet at the southeast 

corner of the original Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area, and are similar to those 

in areas on or surrounding the Santa 

Maria Valley floor. 

The petition includes the table below, 

which shows the elevations of 

commercial vineyards in the southern 

portion of the original Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area and in the 

southern expansion area. Elevations of 

vineyards within the southern portion 

of the original Santa Maria Valley 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
81848 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

viticultural area range from 600 to 950 

feet; likewise, those of vineyards in the 

southern expansion area range from 600 

to 930 feet.

Climate: The petition explains that 

the Santa Maria Valley has a ‘‘maritime 

fringe’’ climate (‘‘The Climate of 

Southern California,’’ Harry P. Bailey, 

University of California Press, 1966). 

The maritime fringe climate derives 

from the Pacific Ocean, causing foggy 

and windy conditions in the Santa 

Maria Valley. In contrast, some other 

inland, high-elevation areas nearby have 

either less or no marine influence, 

according to the petition. 

The petition states that during the 

summer growing season, the marine air 

moves onshore, passing through lowelevation passes in the Coast Range, 

inland to the Santa Maria Valley. (T.D. 

ATF–89 describes the Santa Maria 

Valley as a ‘‘natural funnel-shaped’’ 

valley.) Temperatures are consistent 

throughout the gentle west-to-east rise 

in elevations in the Santa Maria Valley. 

The petition states that the cooling wind 

and fog encounter little resistance in 

any direction until they meet the Sierra 

Madre Mountains on the north side of 

the valley and the Solomon Hills on the 

south side, where the valley terminates. 

The boundary of the southern expansion 

extends to the Solomon Hills, where the 

cooling wind and fog encounter 

resistance, according to the petition. 

The petition includes a map that 

shows the broad, westerly opening 

between these mountains and hills and 

how they funnel cooling wind and fog 

in an east-southeast direction, into the 

valley. T.D. ATF–89 states that ‘‘* * * 

the prevailing winds from the ocean 

[cause] the valley to have a generally 

cooler summer, warmer fall, and cooler 

winter than surrounding areas.’’ 

The current petition provides data 

from two weather stations, one within 

the original Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area and one within the 

expansion area. Both stations are 

nestled along foothills, slightly above 

the valley floor. A graph in the petition 

presents heat accumulation data 

recorded in 2004 at the two stations. 

The graph shows that growing season 

totals for 2004 in the original 

viticultural area and in the expansion 

area were both just below 3,000 growing 

degree days. 

As a measurement of heat 

accumulation during the growing 

season, 1 growing degree day 

accumulates for each degree Fahrenheit 

that a day’s mean temperature is above 

50 degrees, the minimum temperature 

required for grapevine growth (‘‘General 

Viticulture,’’ Albert J. Winkler, 

University of California Press, 1975, 

pages 61–64). 

Soils: According to the petition, the 

original Santa Maria Valley viticultural 

area consists of a wide variety of soils, 

without a single dominant type. The 

petition provides a table listing the soil 

map units in the original Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area and in the 

expansion area. The table is divided 

into four general areas. Three areas are 

within the original Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area: (1) Valley floor, (2) 

hills (the Solomon Hills), and (3) 

mountains (the foothills of the Sierra 

Madre Mountains, northeast of the 

Santa Maria River). The fourth is the 

southern expansion area. 

As shown in the table, the soils are 

mainly sand, sandy loam, and loam on 

the valley floor, but are mixed sandy 

loam, clay loam, shaly loam, and silt 

loam on mountains. However, the soils 

in the expansion area are also found in 

the original Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area. In both the expansion 

area and on hills in the original 

viticultural area, the soils are sand, 

sandy loam, clay loam, and shaly clay 

loam, but are mostly loam and shaly 

loam. 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and 

Comments Received 

TTB published Notice No. 103 

regarding the proposed expansion of the 

Santa Maria Valley viticultural area in 

the Federal Register at 75 FR 9827 

(March 4, 2010). In that notice, TTB 

invited comments by May 3, 2010, from 

all interested persons. We solicited 

comments from interested members of 

the public on whether we should 

expand the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area as described above. We 

expressed particular interest in 

receiving comments concerning the 

similarity of the proposed expansion 

area to the current Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area, the geographical 

features that distinguish the viticultural 

features of the proposed expansion area 

from the area beyond it to the south, and 

the use of the Santa Maria River 

watershed to justify the proposed 

expansion of the southern boundary 

line. 

We received two comments in 

response to the notice, both supporting 

the expansion of the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area. An agricultural 

property appraiser supports the 

expansion and states the boundaries are 

reasonably defined by geographic 

features. A Farm Advisor employed 

with the Cooperative Extension-San 

Luis Obispo County, University of 

California, Agriculture and Natural 

Resources, supports the expansion 

based on similarities in temperature 

conditions within the existing Santa 

Maria Valley viticultural area and the 

expansion area. The Advisor included 

temperature data, an aerial picture of 

the area, and a 2008 and 2009 overview 

of the average growing degree days for 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 81849 

the Santa Maria Valley viticultural area 

that includes the expansion area. 

TTB Finding 

After careful review of the petition 

and the comments received, TTB finds 

that the evidence submitted supports 

the expansion of the Santa Maria Valley 

viticultural area. Accordingly, under the 

authority of the Federal Alcohol 

Administration Act and part 4 of our 

regulations, we expand the Santa Maria 

Valley American viticultural area in 

Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo 

Counties, California, effective 30 days 

from the publication date of this 

document. 

Boundary Description 

See the narrative boundary 

description of the viticultural area in the 

regulatory text published at the end of 

this document. 

Maps 

The maps for determining the 

boundary of the viticultural area are 

listed below in the regulatory text. 

Impact on Current Wine Labels 

The expansion of the Santa Maria 

Valley viticultural area will not affect 

currently approved wine labels. The 

approval of this expansion may allow 

additional vintners to use ‘‘Santa Maria 

Valley’’ as an appellation of origin on 

their wine labels. Part 4 of the TTB 

regulations prohibits any label reference 

on a wine that indicates or implies an 

origin other than the wine’s true place 

of origin. For a wine to be labeled with 

a viticultural area name or with a brand 

name that includes a viticultural area 

name or other term identified as 

viticulturally significant in part 9 of the 

TTB regulations, at least 85 percent of 

the wine must be derived from grapes 

grown within the area represented by 

that name or other term, and the wine 

must meet the other conditions listed in 

27 CFR 4.25(e)(3). Different rules apply 

if a wine has a brand name containing 

a viticultural area name or other 

viticulturally significant term that was 

used as a brand name on a label 

approved before July 7, 1986. See 27 

CFR 4.39(i)(2) for details. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

We certify that this regulation will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This regulation imposes no new 

reporting, recordkeeping, or other 

administrative requirement. Any benefit 

derived from the use of a viticultural 

area name is the result of a proprietor’s 

efforts and consumer acceptance of 

wines from that area. Therefore, no 

regulatory flexibility analysis is 

required. 

Executive Order 12866 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action as defined by 

Executive Order 12866. Therefore, it 

requires no regulatory assessment.
