Treasury, as part of its continuing effort

to reduce paperwork and respondent

burden, invites the general public and

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing information

collections, as required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.

Labeling of Sulfites in Alcoholic

Beverages.

be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments

to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

Firearms, Linda Barnes, 650

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Labeling of Sulfites in Alcoholic

Beverages.

OMB Number: 1512–0469

Abstract: In accordance with our

consumer protection responsibilities, as

mandated by law, ATF requires label

disclosure statements on all alcoholic

beverage products released from U.S.

bottling premises or customs custody

that contain 10 parts per million or

more of sulfites. Sulfiting agents have

been shown to produce allergic-type

responses in humans, particularly

asthmatics, and the presence of these

ingredients in alcohol beverages may

have serious health implications for

those who are intolerant of sulfites.

Disclosure of sulfites on labels of

alcohol beverages will minimize their

exposure to these ingredients.

Current Actions: There are no changes

to this information collection and it is

being submitted for extension purposes

only.

Type of Review: Extension.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

4,787.

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 40
