SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 7, 1996, ATF published

a Notice of Petition in the Federal

Register at 61 FR 57597 which outlined

the proposals made in a petition

submitted by Heublein, Inc. Heublein’s

petition seeks changes in regulations

relating to the labeling and advertising

of malt beverages which would prohibit

the use of ‘‘Pina Colada,’’ ‘‘Daiquiri,’’

‘‘Margarita,’’ and similar terms in the

labeling of malt beverage products.

Heublein’s petition also seeks to amend

regulations relating to the labeling and

advertising of distilled spirits to

prohibit the term ‘‘Margarita’’ from

being used in the labeling of any

product unless that product is made

with Tequila.

The comment period for Notice No.

844 was scheduled to close on February

5, 1997. Prior to the close of the

Comment Period, ATF received a

request from the National Association of

Beverage Importers, Inc. (NABI), a trade

association representing importers of

alcoholic beverages, to extend the

comment period for 30 days. In

requesting the extended comment

period, NABI stated that the petition

had raised considerable controversy

within the industry, and that its

members required additional time to

reach a position on the issues raised by

the petition.

In consideration of this request, ATF

finds that a reopening of the comment

period is warranted. Thus, the comment

period is being reopened for a period of

30 additional days until March 7, 1997.

Disclosure

Copies of Heublein’s petition and

written comments received in response

to the petition and to Notice No. 844

will be available for public inspection

during normal business hours at: ATF

Reading Room, Disclosure Branch,

Room 6300, 650 Massachusetts Avenue

NW, Washington, DC.
