ACTION: Final rule; Treasury decision; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) recently 
published a final rule amending certain of its regulations governing 
the labeling and advertising of distilled spirits and malt beverages. 
That final rule, which also reorganized the regulations, appeared in 
the Federal Register of February 9, 2022. This document corrects 
several minor, non-substantive errors in that final rule.

DATES: This final rule is effective March 11, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher M. Thiemann, Regulations 
and Rulings Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, 1310 G 
Street NW, Box 12, Washington, DC 20005; telephone 202-453-2265.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 
(TTB) recently published a final rule amending certain of its 
regulations governing the labeling and advertising

[[Page 13157]]

of distilled spirits and malt beverages. That final rule, which also 
reorganized those regulations, published as T.D. TTB-176 in the Federal 
Register of February 9, 2022, at 87 FR 7526. The final rule contained 
several minor inadvertent, nonsubstantive errors in the preamble 
discussion of, and the regulatory text for, 27 CFR part 5, Labeling and 
Advertising of Distilled Spirits.
    First, in the final rule's preamble, in the Derivation Table for 
part 5, subpart I, the entry for Sec.  5.153 should read ``[reserved]'' 
instead of ``New.'' In the related notice of proposed rulemaking (see 
Notice No. 176, 83 FR 60562, November 26, 2018), TTB proposed a new 
section, which it decided not to finalize, as described in the final 
rule. Second, and related to that error, in the final rule's regulatory 
amendments, the table of contents for part 5 lists the section heading 
for Sec.  5.153 as originally proposed (``Diluted spirits'') instead of 
listing that section as ``reserved'' as finalized in T.D. TTB-176. (The 
final rule correctly shows Sec.  5.153 as ``[Reserved]'' in the 
regulatory text of part 5) Third, in Sec.  5.203, which lists the 
authorized standards of fill for distilled spirits, two paragraphs were 
designated as paragraph (a)(1)(v)--one setting out a standard of fill 
of 750 mL and the other a standard of fill of 720 mL.
    The described errors were inadvertent, and their correction does 
not alter the intended meaning of any regulatory section contained in 
the final rule.
