16670 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 56 / Thursday, March 22, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

does not warrant preparation of a 

Regulatory Evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of airspace necessary to 

ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority as 

it establishes Class E airspace at 

Bellefonte Airport, Bellefonte, PA.

[Public Notice 7829]

Amendment to the International Traffic 

in Arms Regulations: Sri Lanka 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State is 

amending the International Traffic in 

Arms Regulations to add another 

exception to the license denial policy 

toward Sri Lanka. This change allows 

for exports to Sri Lanka for assistance 

for aerial and maritime surveillance. 

DATES: Effective date: This rule is 

effective March 22, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Candace M. J. Goforth, Acting Director, 

Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy, 

U.S. Department of State, telephone

Regulatory Change, Part 126, Sri Lanka. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

126.1(n) is amended to implement 

section 7046(d) of Public Law 112–74, 

which provides that the policy of denial 

for defense export licenses for Sri Lanka 

will not apply to assistance for aerial 

and maritime surveillance. 

Regulatory Analysis and Notices 

Administrative Procedure Act 

The Department of State is of the 

opinion that controlling the import and 

export of defense articles and services is 

a foreign affairs function of the United 

States Government and that rules 

implementing this function are exempt 

from § 553 (Rulemaking) and § 554 

(Adjudications) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act. Since the Department is 

of the opinion that this rule is exempt 

from 5 U.S.C. 553, it is the view of the 

Department of State that the provisions 

of § 553(d) do not apply to this 

rulemaking. Therefore, this rule is 

effective upon publication. The 

Department also finds that, given the 

national security issues surrounding 

U.S. policy towards Sri Lanka, notice 

and public procedure on this rule would 

be impracticable, unnecessary, or 

contrary to the public interest; for the 

same reason, the rule will be effective 

immediately. See 5 U.S.C. 808(2). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Since this amendment is not subject 

to 5 U.S.C. 553, it does not require 

analysis under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 

This amendment does not involve a 

mandate that will result in the 

expenditure by state, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

in any year and it will not significantly 

or uniquely affect small governments. 

Therefore, no actions were deemed 

necessary under the provisions of the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 

This amendment has been found not 

to be a major rule within the meaning 

of the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. 

Executive Orders 12372 and 13132 

This amendment will not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, in 

accordance with Executive Order 13132, 

it is determined that this amendment 

does not have sufficient federalism 

implications to require consultations or 

warrant the preparation of a federalism 

summary impact statement. The 

regulations implementing Executive 

Order 12372 regarding 

intergovernmental consultation on 

Federal programs and activities do not 

apply to this amendment. 

Executive Order 12866 

The Department is of the opinion that 

controlling the import and export of 

defense articles and services is a foreign 

affairs function of the United States 

Government and that rules governing 

the conduct of this function are exempt 

from the requirements of Executive 

Order 12866. However, the Department 

has reviewed the rule to ensure its 

consistency with the regulatory 

philosophy and principles set forth in 

the Executive Order. 

Executive Order 12988 

The Department of State has reviewed 

the amendment in light of sections 3(a) 

and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988 to 

eliminate ambiguity, minimize

Executive Order 13563 

The Department of State has 

considered this rule in light of 

Executive Order 13563, dated January 

18, 2011, and affirms that this regulation 

is consistent with the guidance therein. 

Executive Order 13175 

The Department has determined that 

this rulemaking will not have tribal 

implications, will not impose 

substantial direct compliance costs on 

Indian tribal governments, and will not 

preempt tribal law. Accordingly, 

Executive Order 13175 does not apply 

to this rulemaking. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not impose any new 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act, 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision. 

SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax 

and Trade Bureau is amending the wine 

labeling regulations to allow the 

labeling of imported wines with 

multistate appellations of origin. This 

amendment provides treatment for 

imported wines similar to that currently 

available to domestic wines bearing 

multistate appellations. It also provides 

consumers with additional information 

regarding the origin of these wines. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is 

effective April 23, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background on Wine Labeling 

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. 

Use of Appellations of Origin on Wine 

Labels 

Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 

part 4) sets forth standards promulgated 

under the FAA Act for the labeling and 

advertising of wine. Section 4.25 of the 

TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25) sets forth 

rules regarding the use of appellations 

of origin. An appellation of origin for an 

American wine is defined in § 4.25(a)(1) 

as: 

• The United States; 

• A State; 

• Two or no more than three States 

which are all contiguous; 

• A county; 

• Two or no more than three counties 

in the same State; or 

• A viticultural area as defined in 

§ 4.25(e). 

Section 4.25(b)(1) states that an 

American wine is entitled to an 

appellation of origin other than a 

multicounty or multistate appellation, 

or a viticultural area, if, among other 

requirements, at least 75 percent of the 

wine is derived from fruit or agricultural 

products grown in the appellation area 

indicated. Use of an appellation of 

origin comprising two or no more than 

three States which are all contiguous is 

allowed under § 4.25(d) if: 

• All of the fruit or other agricultural 

products were grown in the States 

indicated, and the percentage of the 

wine derived from fruit or other 

agricultural products grown in each 

State is shown on the label with a 

tolerance of plus or minus 2 percent; 

• The wine has been fully finished 

(except for cellar treatment pursuant to 

27 CFR 4.22(c) and blending that does 

not result in an alteration of class or 

type under 27 CFR 4.22(b)) in one of the 

labeled appellation States; and 

• The wine conforms to the laws and 

regulations governing the composition, 

method of manufacture, and designation 

of wines in all the States listed in the 

appellation. 

An appellation of origin for imported 

wine is defined in § 4.25(a)(2) as: 

• A country; 

• A state, province, territory, or 

similar political subdivision of a 

country equivalent to a state or county; 

or 

• A viticultural area (which is 

defined in § 4.25(e)(1)(ii) in the case of 

imported wine). 

Section 4.25(b)(2) states that an 

imported wine is entitled to an 

appellation of origin other than a 

viticultural area if: ‘‘(1) At least 75 

percent of the wine is derived from fruit 

or agricultural products grown in the 

area indicated by the appellation of 

origin; and (2) the wine conforms to the 

requirements of the foreign laws and 

regulations governing the composition, 

method of production, and designation 

of wines available for consumption 

within the country of origin.’’ There is 

no provision in the current TTB 

regulations for the use of multistate 

appellations on imported wines. 

The existing regulations regarding 

appellations of origin, including the 

provisions permitting multistate 

appellations for American wines, were
