SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Sponsors of approved or conditionally 

approved applications for new animal 

drugs containing an antimicrobial active 

ingredient are required by section 512 of 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (FD&C Act) (21 U.S.C. 360b), as 

amended by section 105 of the Animal 

Drug Use Fee Amendments of 2008 

(ADUFA 105) (Pub. L. 110–316), to 

submit to us an annual report on the 

amount of each such ingredient in the 

drug that is sold or distributed for use 

in food-producing animals. We are also 

required by ADUFA 105 to publish 

annual summary reports of the data we 

receive from animal drug sponsors. In 

accordance with the law, sponsors of 

the affected antimicrobial new animal 

drug products began submitting their 

sales and distribution data to us on an 

annual basis, and we have published 

summaries of such data for each 

calendar year beginning with 2009. 

In the Federal Register of May 11, 

2016 (81 FR 29129), we published a 

final rule entitled ‘‘Antimicrobial 

Animal Drug Sales and Distribution 

Reporting’’ that amended our existing 

records and reports regulation in part 

514 (21 CFR part 514) to incorporate the 

sales and distribution data reporting 

requirements specific to antimicrobial 

new animal drugs that were added to 

the FD&C Act by ADUFA 105. The rule 

also added an additional reporting 

provision intended to improve our 

understanding of antimicrobial animal 

drug sales intended for use in specific 

food-producing animal species. In 

accordance with the new rule, the 

sponsor of each approved or 

conditionally approved new animal 

drug product that contains an 

antimicrobial active ingredient must 

submit an annual report to us on the 

amount of each such ingredient in the 

drug product that is sold or distributed 

for use in food-producing animals, 

including information on any 

distributor-labeled product. The final 

rule, which is codified at §§ 514.80 and 

514.87, became effective July 11, 2016. 

We examined the economic 

implications of the final rule as required 

by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) and determined that 

the final rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities (81 FR 29129 

at 29138). Nonetheless, we determined 

not to certify that finding due to the 

remote possibility that, in the future, a 

very small company could enter the 

market and sponsor an application for 

an antimicrobial new animal drug 

product that would be sold or 

distributed for use in food-producing 

animals. Thus, in compliance with 

section 212 of the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 

(Pub. L. 104–121, as amended by Pub. 

L. 110–28), we are making available this 

SECG to explain the actions that a 

potential future market entrant small 

entity must take to comply with the 

rule. 

We are issuing this SECG consistent 

with our good guidance practices 

regulation (21 CFR 10.115(c)(2)). The 

SECG represents the current thinking of 

FDA on this topic. It does not establish 

any rights for any person and is not 

binding on FDA or the public. You can 

use an alternative approach if it satisfies 

the requirements of the applicable 

statutes and regulations. This guidance 

is not subject to Executive Order 12866. 

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This guidance refers to previously 

approved collections of information 

found in FDA regulations. These 

collections of information are subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520). The collections of information in 

§ 514.87 have been approved under 

OMB control number 0910–0659. The

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 

provides that these regulations should, 

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 FAA Act 

pursuant to section 1111(d) of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, 

codified at 6 U.S.C. 531(d). The 

Secretary has delegated various 

authorities through Treasury 

Department Order 120–01, dated 

December 10, 2013 (superseding 

Treasury Order 120–01, dated January 

24, 2003), to the TTB Administrator to 

perform the functions and duties in the 

administration and enforcement of these 

laws. 

Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 

part 4) authorizes the establishment of 

definitive viticultural areas and 

regulates 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) sets 

forth standards for the preparation and 

submission of petitions for the 

establishment or modification of 

American viticultural areas (AVAs) and 

lists the approved AVAs. 

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 having 

distinguishing features, as described in 

part 9 of the regulations, and a name 

and a delineated boundary, as 

established 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 the wine’s geographic origin. The 

establishment of AVAs allows vintners 

to describe more accurately the origin of 

their wines to consumers and helps 

consumers to identify wines they may 

purchase. Establishment of an AVA 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 (27 CFR 4.25(e)(2)) outlines 

the procedure for proposing an AVA 

and provides that any interested party 

may petition TTB to establish a grapegrowing region as an AVA. Section 9.12 

of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 9.12) 

prescribes standards for petitions for the 

establishment or modification of AVAs. 

Petitions to establish an AVA must 

include the following: 

• Evidence that the area within the 

proposed AVA boundary is nationally 

or locally known by the AVA name 

specified in the petition; 

• An explanation of the basis for 

defining the boundary of the proposed 

AVA; 

• A narrative description of the 

features of the proposed AVA affecting 

viticulture, such as climate, geology, 

soils, physical features, and elevation, 

that make the proposed AVA distinctive 

and distinguish it from adjacent areas 

outside the proposed AVA boundary; 

• The appropriate United States 

Geological Survey (USGS) map(s) 

showing the location of the proposed 

AVA, with the boundary of the 

proposed AVA clearly drawn thereon; 

and 

• A detailed narrative description of 

the proposed AVA boundary based on 

USGS map markings. 

Dahlonega Plateau Petition 

TTB received a petition from Amy 

Booker, President of the DahlonegaLumpkin Chamber & Visitors Bureau, on 

behalf of the Vineyard and Winery 

Operators of the Dahlonega Region of 

Northern Georgia. The petitioner is 

proposing the establishment of the 

‘‘Dahlonega Plateau’’ AVA in portions of 

Lumpkin and White counties in 

Georgia. 

The proposed Dahlonega Plateau AVA 

derives its name from a long, narrow, 

northeast-southwest trending plateau in 

the northern foothills of the Georgia 

Piedmont known as the Dahlonega 

Plateau. The plateau covers most of 

Lumpkin, Dawson, White, Pickens, and 

Cherokee Counties. However, the 

proposed AVA is limited to the 

northeastern portion of the plateau, in 

Lumpkin and White Counties, due to a 

lack of viticulture in the southwestern 

region of the plateau, as well 

topographical and climatic differences. 

The proposed Dahlonega Plateau AVA 

covers approximately 133 square miles 

and is not located within any other 

AVA. The petition notes that, at present, 

there are 7 wineries and 8 commercial 

vineyards covering a total of 

approximately 110 acres distributed 

throughout the proposed AVA. In the 

next few years, the proposed AVA 

would likely be expanded by an 

additional 12 acres of vineyards. 

According to the petition, the 

distinguishing features of the proposed 

Dahlonega Plateau AVA are its 

topography and climate. Unless 

otherwise noted, all information and 

data pertaining to the proposed AVA 

contained in this final rule comes from 

the petition for the proposed Dahlonega 

Plateau AVA and its supporting 

exhibits. 

Topography 

According to the petition, the 

distinctive topography of the proposed 

AVA is due to the underlying geology, 

which is comprised of layers of rocks 

that weather uniformly and are 

moderately resistant to erosion. Over 

time, wind and water have gradually 

worn down the underlying rocks and 

formed a gently rolling landscape with 

an average elevation of approximately 

1,554 feet above sea level. The resulting 

broad, rounded hilltops separated by 

wide valleys have moderate slope angles 

and adequate sunlight for the 

cultivation of vineyards. 

By contrast, the petition states that the 

topography of the regions surrounding 

the proposed AVA are less suitable for 

vineyards. The Blue Ridge Mountains 

and Hightower Ridges to the north, east, 

and southeast of the proposed AVA 

generally have higher elevations and 

narrow valleys that are often shadowed 

by the surrounding steep, high slopes. 

The steep, high slopes allow less light 

to reach any vineyard planted on the 

valley floors, when compared to 

vineyards planted in the proposed AVA. 

The steepness of the slopes would also 

make mechanical cultivation of any 

vineyard planted on the sides of the 

mountains impractical. In the lower 

elevations of the regions to the south 

and west of the proposed AVA, the cool 

air draining from higher elevations 

eventually settles and pools and would 

increase the risk of frost damage in any 

vineyard planted there. 

Climate 

The petition for the proposed 

Dahlonega Plateau AVA provided 

climate information including length of 

the growing season, growing degree day 

accumulations, and precipitation 

amounts from within the proposed AVA 

and the surrounding regions. 

Length of Growing Season 

According to the petition, the 

proposed Dahlonega Plateau AVA has a 

mean growing season length of 195 

days. Over 60 percent of the terrain

1A.N. Lakso & T.E. Martinson, ‘‘The Basics of 

Vineyard Site Evaluation and Selection’’ (2014), 

available at http://arcserver2.iagt.org/vll/ 

downloads/BasicSiteEvaluation-2015.pdf. 

2A.J. Winkler et al., General Viticulture 60–71 

(2nd. Ed. 1974). 

within the proposed AVA has a growing 

season length in the range of 190 to 200 

days. The petition cited a publication by 

the College of Agriculture and Life 

Sciences at Cornell University in 

conjunction with the Institute for the 

Application of Geospatial Technology,1

which states that sites with growing 

seasons between 190 and 200 days are 

‘‘not limited by growing season’’ 

because most grape varietals will be able 

to ripen within 200 days, while sites 

with growing seasons shorter than 160 

days are not recommended for 

vineyards because most grape varietals 

would not have time to ripen fully. 

Based on this guidance, the petition 

proposes that the vineyard owners can 

plant many different grape varietals in 

the majority of the proposed AVA 

without the fear of having too short of 

a growing season for the grapes to ripen. 

The petition also provided the 

growing season lengths for the areas 

surrounding the proposed AVA. The 

regions to the north and northeast each 

have a mean growing season of 164 

days. Regions to the west and south, 

have growing seasons of 201 and 203 to 

205 days, respectively. The proposed 

AVA has a higher percentage of terrain 

with a growing season length between 

190 and 200 days than all surrounding 

areas except the Hightower Ridges to the 

east, where approximately 76 percent of 

the terrain is within this range of 

growing season lengths. 

Growing Degree Days 

The petition noted that although 

growing season length is important 

because it reflects the number of frostfree days, the temperatures that are 

reached during that frost-free period are 

just as important to viticulture. The 

petition further stated that grape vines 

do not grow and fruit does not mature 

when temperatures are below 50 degrees 

Fahrenheit (F). Therefore, a region that 

has a 180-day frost-free growing season 

would still be unsuitable for viticulture 

if temperatures seldom or never rise 

above 50 degrees F. 

The petition presented growing 

degree days (GDD) data using the 

Winkler zone scale 2 from the very cool 

Zone I, for regions accumulating 2,500 

or fewer GDDs in a growing season, to 

the very warm Zone V, for regions 

accumulating over 4,000 GDDs. The 

data showed that the terrain within the 

proposed Dahlonega Plateau AVA is 

classified in the intermediate ranges of 

the Winkler scale (Zones III and IV). The 

proposed AVA has a higher percentage 

of terrain within Zone IV than any of the 

surrounding regions and lacks any 

terrain in the very cool Zone I, the cool 

Zone II, or the very warm Zone V. The 

petition indicated, that regions 

classified as Zones III or IV, such as the 

proposed AVA, are suitable for growing 

a diverse range of late-ripening grape 

varietals. 

Precipitation 

According to the petition, the rising 

elevations of the proposed Dahlonega 

Plateau AVA and the regions to the 

north and east cause the moisture-laden 

winds travelling inland from the Gulf of 

Mexico and Atlantic Ocean to drop their 

rain in the proposed AVA. Annual 

rainfall amounts within the proposed 

AVA are approximately 62 inches per 

year and 17 inches during the winter 

months. The regions to the north and 

east generally receive more rainfall 

annually and during winter than the 

proposed AVA, and the regions to the 

south and west generally receive less. 

The petition stated that the proposed 

AVA receives adequate annual rainfall 

amounts, which make vineyard 

irrigation seldom necessary. 

Furthermore, the petition provides data 

collected from the proposed AVA and 

surrounding regions showing that the 

low winter rainfall amounts within the 

proposed AVA are relevant to 

viticulture because, when compared to 

the data from the surrounding regions, 

low levels of rain in winter in the 

proposed AVA reduce the possibility of 

a delayed bud break and subsequent 

later harvest. 

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and 

Comments Received 

TTB published Notice No. 166 in the 

Federal Register on December 2, 2016 

(81 FR 86980), proposing to establish 

the Dahlonega Plateau AVA. In the 

notice, TTB summarized the evidence 

from the petition regarding the name, 

boundary, and distinguishing features 

for the proposed AVA. The notice also 

compared the distinguishing features of 

the proposed AVA to the surrounding 

areas. For a detailed description of the 

evidence relating to the name, 

boundary, and distinguishing features of 

the proposed AVA, and for a detailed 

comparison of the distinguishing 

features of the proposed AVA to the 

surrounding areas, see Notice No. 166 

and the petition for the proposed AVA, 

which are posted in Docket No. TTB– 

2016–0012 at http://

www.regulations.gov. In Notice No. 166, 

TTB solicited comments on whether it 

should establish the proposed 

viticultural area, and also asked for 

comments on the accuracy of the name, 

boundary, and other required 

information submitted in support of the 

petition. The comment period closed on 

January 31, 2017. 

In response to Notice No. 166, TTB 

received one comment, which 

supported the proposed AVA. The 

commenter stated that the Dahlonega 

plateau is a ‘‘gorgeous mountain region’’ 

that has ‘‘unique wine-growing 

characteristics’’ that qualify it as an 

AVA. 

TTB Determination 

After careful review of the petition 

and the comment received in response 

to Notice No. 166, TTB finds that the 

evidence provided by the petitioner 

supports the establishment of the 

Dahlonega Plateau AVA. Accordingly, 

under the authority of the FAA Act, 

section 1111(d) of the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002, and parts 4 and 9 

of the TTB regulations, TTB establishes 

the ‘‘Dahlonega Plateau’’ AVA in 

Lumpkin and Whites counties of 

Georgia, effective 30 days from the 

publication date of this document. 

Boundary Description 

See the narrative description of the 

boundary of the Dahlonega AVA in the 

regulatory text published at the end of 

this final rule. 

Maps 

The petitioner provided the required 

maps, and they are listed below in the 

regulatory text. 

Impact on Current 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 an AVA name 

or with a brand name that includes an 

AVA name, at least 85 percent of the 

wine must be derived from grapes 

grown within the area represented by 

that name, and the wine must meet the 

other conditions listed in 27 CFR 

4.25(e)(3). If the wine is not eligible for 

labeling with an AVA name and that 

name appears in the brand name, then 

the label is not in compliance and the 

bottler must change the brand name and 

obtain approval of a new label. 

Similarly, if the AVA name appears in 

another reference on the label in a 

misleading manner, the bottler would 

have to obtain approval of a new label. 

Different rules apply if a wine has a 

brand name containing an AVA name 

that was used as a brand name on a 

label approved before July 7, 1986. See 

27 CFR 4.39(i)(2) for details. 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
30538 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 126 / Friday, June 29, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

With the establishment of this AVA, 

its name, ‘‘Dahlonega Plateau,’’ will be 

recognized as a name of viticultural 

significance under § 4.39(i)(3) of the 

TTB regulations. The text of the 

regulation clarifies this point. 

Consequently, wine bottlers using the 

name ‘‘Dahlonega Plateau’’ in a brand 

name, including a trademark, or in 

another label reference as to the origin 

of the wine, will have to ensure that the 

product is eligible to use the AVA name 

as an appellation of origin. The 

establishment of the Dahlonega Plateau 

AVA will not affect any existing AVA. 

The establishment of the Dahlonega 

Plateau AVA will allow vintners to use 

‘‘Dahlonega Plateau’’ as an appellation 

of origin for wines made primarily from 

grapes grown within the Dahlonega 

Plateau AVA if the wines meet the 

eligibility requirements for the 

appellation. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

TTB certifies that this regulation will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The regulation imposes no new 

reporting, recordkeeping, or other 

administrative requirement. Any benefit 

derived from the use of an AVA name 

would be 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 

It has been determined that this final 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

as defined by Executive Order 12866 of 

September 30, 1993. Therefore, no 

regulatory assessment is required. 

Drafting Information 

Dana Register of the Regulations and 

Rulings Division drafted this final rule.
