Technical Corrections to the TTB 

Regulations 

AGENCY: Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 

Trade Bureau, Treasury. 

ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision. 

SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Alcohol 

and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 

(TTB) is amending its regulations to 

make miscellaneous non-substantive 

corrections to its regulations. These 

include correcting grammatical, 

spelling, and typographical errors; 

correcting or updating statutory 

authority citations, regulatory crossreferences, and information collection 

control and TTB form numbers; 

updating references to publications and 

agency names and organizational 

structures; updating mailing, delivery, 

and website addresses; and revising 

certain gender exclusive pronouns. The 

technical amendments described in this 

document do not add or change any 

regulatory, recordkeeping, or reporting 

requirement or change TTB’s 

interpretation of any regulation. 

DATES: Effective December 6, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the 

number and non-substantive nature of 

the technical corrections made in this 

document, not all individual 

amendments are discussed below in this 

document’s preamble, but all changes 

are described in the regulatory text 

section further below. 

General Description of Technical 

Amendments 

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and 

Trade Bureau (TTB) periodically makes 

non-substantive technical corrections to 

its regulations, which are contained in 

27 CFR chapter I. The technical 

amendments described in this 

document do not add any new or 

change any existing TTB regulatory 

requirement, and the described 

amendments do not change TTB’s 

interpretation of any regulation. 

Additionally, the described 

amendments do not add any new or 

change any existing recordkeeping, 

reporting, or labeling requirement to the 

TTB regulations, nor do they change any 

burden associated with such 

requirements. 

In general, throughout its regulations, 

TTB is correcting grammatical, spelling, 

and typographical errors; correcting or 

updating statutory authority citations, 

regulatory cross-references, and TTB 

form numbers; updating Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

numbers for existing TTB information 

collections; updating references to 

publications and agency names and 

organizational structures; and updating 

mailing, delivery, and website 

addresses. 

Also, in light of Treasury Department 

policy, TTB is replacing certain gender 

exclusive pronouns, such as ‘‘he’’ and 

‘‘his,’’ with specific references to official 

titles or positions, such as ‘‘the 

Secretary,’’ or with gender inclusive or 

neutral pronouns or phrases, such as 

‘‘their,’’ ‘‘he or she,’’ or ‘‘her or his.’’ In 

particular, TTB is revising gender 

exclusive references to the Secretary of 

the Treasury, the TTB Administrator, 

and certain other government officials. 

However, given the large number of 

gender exclusive pronouns in some 

parts of its regulations that refer to TTB 

officers, industry members, or members 

of the public, TTB will make further 

similar amendments in future 

rulemaking documents. 

With regard to updating statutory 

authority citations, TTB is primarily 

revising the general statutory authority 

citations for the regulations contained in 

27 CFR parts 20, 29, 44, 45, 46, and 70 

to add a reference to 26 U.S.C. 6109, 

which is the section of the Internal 

Revenue Code (IRC) that authorizes the 

collection of identifying numbers such 

as employer identification numbers 

from persons required to file returns, 

statements, or other documents. The 

addition of 26 U.S.C. 6109 to the 

statutory authority citation lists for 

those CFR parts merely corrects those 

lists and does not add or change any 

requirement to provide TTB with 

identifying numbers. 

Other Technical Amendments 

In addition to the general technical 

corrections noted above, TTB is making 

other unique technical amendments in 

specific parts of 27 CFR chapter I, as 

described below. 

Part 4, Labeling and Advertising of Wine 

In 27 CFR 4.10, Meaning of terms, 

TTB is correcting typographical errors 

in the definitions of ‘‘pure condensed 

must’’ and ‘‘sugar.’’ 

Part 9, American Viticultural Areas 

In 27 CFR 9.11(b), TTB is updating 

the postal mail and hand-delivery 

addresses for the submission of 

American viticultural area (AVA) 

petitions. TTB is also correcting 

typographical and other unintended 

errors in the boundary descriptions of 

several AVAs. These corrections do not 

change the intended boundary of any 

existing AVA, nor do they add or 

remove any acreage from any 

established AVA. Among those specific 

boundary corrections are three for the 

Eagle Foothills AVA as described in 27 

CFR 9.252—in paragraph (c)(2), the 

phrase ‘‘the western boundary of 

sections 31 and 30 to the northwest 

corner of section 31,’’ is corrected to 

read ‘‘the western boundary of section 

31 to the southwest corner of section 

30;’’ in paragraph (c)(3), ‘‘section 31’’ is 

corrected to read ‘‘section 30;’’ and, in 

paragraph (c)(9), ‘‘3,400-foor’’ is 

corrected to read ‘‘3,400-foot.’’ 

Part 19, Distilled Spirits Plants 

Among other corrections in part 19, 

TTB is updating cross-references to 27 

CFR part 5, Labeling and Advertising of 

Distilled Spirits, contained in that part 

in response to the publication of T.D. 

TTB–176, Modernization of the Labeling 

and Advertising Regulations for 

Distilled Spirits and Malt Beverages, 

published in the Federal Register of 

February 9, 2022, at 87 FR 7526. While 

T.D. TTB–176 revised part 5 in its 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
87932 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

entirety, that final rule inadvertently did 

not update the cross-references to that 

part contained in part 19. As such, this 

document updates the relevant crossreferences contained in part 19 to match 

the current part 5 subpart designations 

and section numbers. 

Part 21, Formulas for Denatured 

Alcohol and Rum 

In 27 CFR 21.151, TTB is correcting 

an inadvertent error made in a final rule 

published in 2016 to amend the 

regulations concerning denatured 

alcohol and products made with 

industrial alcohol. See T.D. TTB–140, 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 30, 2016, at 81 FR 59445. In that 

final rule, TTB removed certain obsolete 

special denatured alcohol (S.D.A.) 

formulas from the regulations, including 

Formula No. 27–B, which, at the time, 

was described in 27 CFR 21.54. As a 

result of that formula’s removal, TTB 

removed all references to S.D.A. 

Formula No. 27–B from the table 

contained in § 21.151, List of 

denaturants authorized for denatured 

spirits, including its listing as the only 

approved formula for ‘‘Green soap, 

U.S.P.’’ However, in T.D. TTB–140, TTB 

inadvertently failed to include an 

amendatory instruction to remove the 

entire entry for ‘‘Green soap, U.S.P.’’ 

from the approved formulas table. 

Therefore, TTB is removing the 

remaining portion of that obsolete entry. 

Part 24, Wine 

TTB recently published a final rule 

amending certain of its regulations 

pertaining to the production of wine in 

27 CFR part 24 to add to the list of 

materials and processes authorized for 

the treatment of wine and of the juice 

from which wine is made, and to 

expand the authorized uses of certain 

materials already authorized under the 

regulations. See T.D. TTB–185, 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 24, 2022, at 87 FR 51880. That 

final rule contained an inadvertent error 

in the amended regulatory text of 27 

CFR 24.250. As explained in that final 

rule’s related prior notice of proposed 

rulemaking (Notice No. 164, published 

in the Federal Register on November 22, 

2016, at 81 FR 83752) and in the final 

rule, TTB intended to make a technical 

change to amend § 24.250, Application 

for use of new treating material or 

process, by revising paragraph (b)(4) to 

state that an application to use a new 

treating material or process must 

include documentary evidence from the 

FDA that the material is consistent with 

the food additive requirements under 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act for its intended purpose in the 

amounts proposed for the particular 

treatment contemplated. This differs 

from the original regulatory text in that 

it does not require documentary 

evidence that the FDA has ‘‘approved’’ 

the use of the material. However, the 

amendatory instruction for § 24.250 in 

the final rule contained an inadvertent 

error that caused all of paragraph (b) to 

be removed and replaced by the text 

that was only intended to amend 

paragraph (b)(4). TTB is correcting 

§ 24.250 by restoring the previous text of 

paragraph (b) and by amending only the 

text of paragraph (b)(4) as intended. 

TTB also is amending 27 CFR 24.270, 

which sets forth the Federal excise tax 

rates on wine to reflect the statutory 

increase, from 14 percent to 16 percent, 

in the maximum alcohol by volume for 

the still wine tax class at 26 U.S.C 

5041(b)(1) and in the minimum alcohol 

by volume for the still wine tax class at 

26 U.S.C. 5041(b)(2). TTB is taking this 

action in response to the Taxpayer 

Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 

2020 (see Division EE of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 

2021 (Pub. L. 116–260)), which made 

permanent the temporary provisions of 

the Craft Beverage Modernization Act 

contained within the Tax Cuts and Jobs 

Act of 2017 (Pub. L. 115–97). 

TTB is correcting 27 CFR 24.310, 

Taxpaid removals from bond record, to 

include a reference to allowing 

proprietors to record the tax class of 

wine removed from bond, in lieu of 

recording the alcohol content of the 

wine. TTB amended its regulations 

regarding certain wine records in 1990 

(see T.D. ATF–299, published in the 

Federal Register of June 19, 1990, at 55 

FR 24974), including 27 CFR 24.309, 

Transfer in bond record, and 27 CFR 

24.311, Taxpaid wine record, to provide 

that option, but inadvertently did not 

include a similar change to § 24.310. 

This correction addresses that omission. 

Part 28, Exportation of Alcohol 

In 27 CFR 28.11, Meaning of terms, 

TTB is revising the definition of 

‘‘Customs officer’’ to be consistent with 

the wording of that term’s definition in 

other parts of 27 CFR chapter I. This 

revision does not change any part 28 

regulatory requirement. 

TTB is correcting 27 CFR 28.148, 

Brewer’s report, to include a reference 

to form TTB F 5130.26, Quarterly 

Brewer’s Report of Operations, in 

addition to the existing reference to 

form TTB F 5130.9, Brewer’s Report of 

Operations, as a form certain small 

brewers may use for reporting, 

including the reporting of removals of 

beer or beer concentrate for purposes of 

exportation, use of supplies on vessels 

and aircraft, or transfer to a Foreign 

Trade Zone (FTZ). Section 28.148 

requires that brewers keep records and 

include in their operations reporting the 

quantity of beer or beer concentrate 

removed for such purposes, and 

elsewhere in the TTB regulations certain 

small brewers are authorized to use 

either form TTB F 5130.26 or form TTB 

F 5130.9, as appropriate, for such 

reporting. See 27 CFR 25.297. In T.D. 

TTB–123, published in the Federal 

Register on September 30, 2014, at 79 

FR 58674, TTB amended § 25.297 to 

allow certain small brewers to report 

their operations reports on a quarterly 

basis (rather than monthly) using either 

form TTB F 5130.9 or form TTB F 

5130.26. However, in that final rule, 

TTB inadvertently did not make a 

corresponding amendment to § 28.148. 

This amendment to § 28.148 does not 

change that section’s reporting 

requirement or burden as it merely 

corrects that section to provide that 

brewers authorized to submit quarterly 

operations reports may choose to use 

either form TTB F 5130.9 or form TTB 

F 5130.26 to do so. 

Part 29, Stills and Miscellaneous 

Regulations 

TTB is restoring ‘‘condenser’’ to the 

list of terms defined in part 29, subpart 

C, Stills, at 27 CFR 29.45, as that 

definition appears to have been 

inadvertently removed from that list in 

2001. The regulations addressing stills 

appeared in 27 CFR part 170 prior to a 

reorganization of the regulations in 

2001. TTB’s predecessor agency, the 

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and 

Firearms (ATF), published T.D. ATF– 

439 in the Federal Register on February 

2, 2001, at 66 FR 8768, amending 

certain definitions and regulations in 

part 170, including some definitions in 

27 CFR 170.45, which is now 27 CFR 

29.45. See 66 FR 8768, 8770. That final 

rule did not amend or affect the 

definition of ‘‘condenser’’ but, in the 

2001 edition of Title 27 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations published following 

the issuance of the final rule, the term 

‘‘condenser’’ no longer appeared in the 

list of definitions at 27 CFR 170.45. ATF 

then redesignated part 170 as part 29 in 

T.D. ATF–462, published in the Federal 

Register on August 15, 2001, at 66 FR 

42735, which recodified § 170.45 as 27 

CFR 29.45. See 66 FR 42735, 42737. 

This correction addresses the 

inadvertent removal of the definition of 

‘‘condenser’’ from the regulations. 

Part 30, Gauging Manual 

TTB is adding a section to part 30, 

Gauging Manual, at 27 CFR 30.3 to 

provide the public with information on 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 87933 

how to obtain a copy of the delegation 

order regarding the assignment of the 

TTB Administrator’s regulatory 

authorities in part 30 to other TTB 

officers. These delegations of authority 

are set forth in TTB Order 1135.30, 

Delegation of the Administrator’s 

Authorities in 27 CFR part 30, Gauging 

Manual, which is referenced in the 

definition of ‘‘Appropriate TTB officer’’ 

in 27 CFR 30.11, but additional 

information on accessing the delegation 

order through the TTB website or by 

mail is not currently included in the 

regulations. Similar sections regarding 

TTB delegation orders are present in 

other parts of 27 CFR chapter I that have 

related delegation orders and were 

generally added to that chapter in 2006 

through T.D. TTB–44, Administrative 

Changes to Alcohol, Tobacco and 

Firearms Regulations Due to the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, 

published by TTB in the Federal 

Register on April 4, 2006, at 71 FR 

16918. A section of this type was 

inadvertently not included for part 30, 

and this amendment makes part 30 

consistent with those other parts. The 

added section is merely informational, 

and it imposes no new regulatory or 

information collection requirements on 

regulated industry members. 

Part 40, Manufacture of Tobacco 

Products, Cigarette Papers and Tubes, 

and Processed Tobacco 

In 27 CFR 40.22, TTB is removing the 

last sentence of paragraph (b)(1), which 

provides that TTB may publish its 

constructive price determinations for 

large cigars if TTB finds that such 

public disclosure is necessary. TTB has 

determined that this provision is 

inconsistent with the taxpayer 

confidentiality provisions of the Internal 

Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C. 6103 which 

prohibit public disclosure of such taxrelated information. For that reason, 

neither TTB nor its predecessor agency, 

ATF, have published a constructive 

price determination made under 

§ 40.22(b). 

TTB is updating the text of 27 CFR 

40.491(b)(2) to be consistent with the 

amendments made to 27 CFR 40.522 in 

T.D. TTB–104, which implemented 

requirements from the Children’s Health 

Insurance Program Reauthorization Act 

of 2009 (CHIPRA); see 77 FR 37287, 

June 21, 2012. The correction to 

§ 40.491(b)(2) makes that section 

consistent with § 40.522(d)(3) as 

amended by T.D. TTB–104, which 

allows a manufacturer of tobacco 

products who removes processed 

tobacco for any of the purposes listed in 

§ 40.72(b)(2) to not report such removals 

on their tobacco operations report, form 

TTB F 5250.2 (while keeping records of 

such removals pursuant to § 40.521). 

Part 44, Exportation of Tobacco 

Products and Cigarette Papers and 

Tubes, Without Payment of Tax, or With 

Drawback of Tax 

In 27 CFR 44.11, TTB is adding a 

definition of ‘‘customs officer’’ for 

informational purposes as that term is 

used throughout part 44. In §§ 44.122 

and 44.129, TTB is removing references 

to Treasury Department Circular 154, 

which concerned the acceptance of 

government obligations in lieu of bonds, 

since the Department no longer 

publishes that circular. Instead, those 

sections will refer to the Treasury 

Department regulations contained in 31 

CFR part 225, Acceptance of Bonds 

Secured by Government Obligations in 

Lieu of Bonds with Sureties. 

Part 71, Rules of Practice in Permit 

Proceedings 

In 27 CFR part 71, which concerns 

TTB’s rules of practice in permit 

proceedings, TTB is amending the 

general statutory authority citation by 

adding a citation to the Administrative 

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551–559). In 

addition, TTB is adding 26 U.S.C. 5171 

to the part’s general statutory authority 

citation because that section of the IRC 

concerns the establishment of, and 

permits for, distilled spirits plants. 

These additions are merely 

informational in nature, and do not 

affect or change TTB’s interpretation of 

any regulatory or information collection 

requirement contained in part 71. 

In 27 CFR 71.96, which concerns the 

disqualification of administrative law 

judges, TTB is revising that section to 

remove gender-specific pronouns but 

the intent of the regulation is 

unchanged. 

In 27 CFR 71.97, which lists the 

power of administrative law judges in 

TTB-related matters, TTB is correcting 

that section to state that those judges 

make ‘‘initial decisions’’ in suspension, 

revocation, or annulment proceedings 

against TTB-issued permits rather than 

final decisions. This correction makes 

§ 71.97(h) consistent with 27 CFR 71.78 

and 71.79. TTB believes that a 1985 

revision of § 71.97(h) inadvertently 

dropped the words ‘‘initial decisions’’ 

from that paragraph. See T.D. ATF–199, 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 6, 1985, at 50 FR 9152, 9197. In 

addition, TTB is correcting the 

paragraph formatting of § 71.97 to 

conform that section to current CFR 

format requirements; the text of section 

is unchanged except for the correction 

to paragraph (h) noted above. 

Finally, in 27 CFR 71.116, which 

concerns the TTB Administrator’s 

review of application proceedings, TTB 

is updating references to the ‘‘Under 

Secretary of the Treasury’’ with 

references to ‘‘Assistant Secretary for 

Tax Policy.’’ The current text refers to 

the Under Secretary for Enforcement, a 

position that no longer exists within the 

Department of the Treasury, and the 

duties of that former position relevant to 

TTB have been delegated to the 

Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy. TTB 

is also updating gender exclusive 

references in this section and is 

removing the statutory authority 

statement at the end of the section as it 

cites several firearms-related laws that 

no longer apply to TTB. The Bureau 

believes that the general statutory 

authorities cited for part 71, as amended 

in this document, support the regulatory 

provisions of § 71.116, and, as such, 

there is no need for a separate sectionlevel authority citation. As with the 

other technical amendments in this 

document, these technical amendments 

do not affect the requirements of that 

section. 

Regulatory Analysis and Notices 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. 

Executive Order 12866 

It has been determined that this 

technical correction final rule is not a 

significant regulatory action as defined 

in Executive Order 12866 of September 

30, 1993. Therefore, a regulatory 

assessment is not necessary. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has previously reviewed, 

approved, and assigned control numbers 

to the collections of information 

contained in certain regulations 

amended in this final rule in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507). An agency may 

not conduct or sponsor, and a person is 

not required to respond to, a collection 

of information unless it displays a valid 

control number assigned by OMB. The 

technical corrections contained in this 

document do not add any new or affect 

the existing requirements or estimated 

burden of any established TTB 

information collection, recordkeeping, 

or labeling requirement. 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
87934 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 6, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

Inapplicability of Prior Notice and 

Public Comment Procedures and 

Delayed Effective Date 

TTB is issuing this final rule without 

prior notice and opportunity for public 

comment pursuant to authority under 

section 4(a) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act, as amended (APA) (5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B)). That provision 

authorizes an agency to issue a rule 

without prior notice when the agency 

for good cause finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ In this final rule, TTB is 

merely making technical corrections to 

the TTB regulations, which do not 

change the requirements or TTB’s 

interpretation of any regulation and do 

not change any TTB information 

collection, recordkeeping, or labeling 

requirement. Therefore, TTB finds that 

prior notice and opportunity for 

comment is unnecessary.

follows: 

§ 71.116 Review by the Administrator 

The Administrator, on appeal on 

petition for review, shall afford a 

reasonable opportunity for the 

submission of proposed findings, 

conclusions, or exceptions with reasons 

in support thereof and an opportunity 

for oral argument. The Administrator 

may alter or modify any finding of the 

administrative law judge (or of the 

appropriate TTB officer in application 

proceedings) and may affirm, reverse, or 

modify the decision of the 

administrative law judge (or of the 

appropriate TTB officer in initial 

application proceedings), or the 

Administrator may remand the case for 

further hearing, but the Administrator 

shall not consider evidence which is not 

a part of the record. Appeals and 

petitions for review shall not be decided 

by the Administrator in any proceeding 

in which she or he has engaged in 

investigation or prosecution, and in 

such event the Administrator shall so 

state their disqualification in writing 

and refer the record to the Assistant 

Secretary for Tax Policy for appropriate 

action. The Assistant Secretary for Tax 

Policy may designate a principal aide to 

consider any proceeding instead of the 

Administrator. The original copy of the 

decision on review shall be placed in 

the official record of the proceeding, a 

signed duplicate original shall be served 

upon the applicant or respondent and a 

copy shall be transmitted to the 

appropriate TTB officer. When, on 

appeal, the Administrator affirms the 

decision of the appropriate TTB officer 

or the administrative law judge, as the 

case may be, disapproving an 

application or suspending, revoking, or 

annulling a permit, such action shall not 

supersede the decision of the 

appropriate TTB officer or the 

administrative law judge and such 

decision shall be final.

[Docket Number USCG–2024–0972] 

RIN 1625–AA00 

Safety Zone; Atlantic Ocean, Point 

Pleasant Beach, NJ 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

establishing a temporary safety zone 

around salvage operations for a sunken 

vessel. The safety zone encompasses 

navigable waters on a portion of the 

Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of Point 

Pleasant Beach, NJ within a 500-yard 

radius of the salvage operations. The 

safety zone is needed to protect 

personnel, vessels, and the marine 

environment from potential hazards 

created by the salvage operations of the 

sunken vessel. Entry of vessels or 

persons into this zone is prohibited 

unless specifically authorized by the 

Captain of the Port, Sector Delaware 

Bay. 

DATES: This rule is effective without 

actual notice from November 6, 2024 

through November 30, 2024. For the 

purposes of enforcement, actual notice 

will be used from October 31, 2024, 

through November 6, 2024.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking 

§ Section 

U.S.C. United States Code 

II. Background Information and 

Regulatory History 

The Coast Guard is issuing this 

temporary rule under authority in 5 

U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This statutory 

provision authorizes an agency to issue 

a rule without prior notice and 

opportunity to comment when the 

agency for good cause finds that those 

procedures are ‘‘impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ The Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for not publishing a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 

with respect to this rule because prompt 

action is needed to respond to the 

potential safety hazards associated with 

the salvage operations of a sunken 

vessel. It is impracticable to publish an 

NPRM because salvage operations may 

begin as soon as October 31, 2024. 

Also, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the 

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists 

for making this rule effective less than 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register. Delaying the effective date of
