27 CFR Part 25

[T.D. ATF–437]

RIN 1512–AC20

Delegation of Authority for Part 25

AGENCY: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco

and Firearms (ATF), Treasury.

ACTION: Treasury decision, final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule places ATF

authorities contained in part 25, title 27

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), with

the ‘‘appropriate ATF officer’’ and

requires that persons file documents

required by part 25, title 27 Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR), with the

‘‘appropriate ATF officer’’ or in

accordance with the instructions on the

ATF form. Also, this final rule removes

the definitions of, and references to,

specific officers subordinate to the

Director and the word ‘‘region.’’

Concurrently with this Treasury

Decision, ATF Order 1130.10 is being

published. Through this order, the

Director has delegated most of the

authorities in 27 CFR part 25 to the

appropriate ATF officers and specified

the ATF officers with whom

applications, notices and other reports,

which are not ATF forms, are filed.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective

January 19, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert Ruhf, Regulations Division,

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and

Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue

NW, Room 5003, Washington, DC 20226

(telephone 202–927–8210 or e-mail to

alctob@atfhq.atf.treas.gov).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Pursuant to Treasury Order 120–01

(formerly 221), dated June 6, 1972, the

Secretary of the Treasury delegated to

the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the

authority to enforce, among other laws,

the provisions of chapter 51 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC).

The Director has subsequently

redelegated certain of these authorities

to appropriate subordinate officers by

way of various means, including by

regulation, ATF delegation orders,

regional directives, or similar delegation

documents. As a result, to ascertain

what particular officer is authorized to

perform a particular function under

chapter 51, each of these various

delegation instruments must be

consulted. Similarly, each time a

delegation of authority is revoked or

redelegated, each of the delegation

documents must be reviewed and

amended as necessary.

ATF has determined that this

multiplicity of delegation instruments

complicates and hinders the task of

determining which ATF officer is

authorized to perform a particular

function. ATF also believes these

multiple delegation instruments

exacerbate the administrative burden

associated with maintaining up-to-date

delegations, resulting in an undue delay

in reflecting current authorities.

Accordingly, this final rule rescinds

all authorities of the Director in part 25

that were previously delegated and

places those authorities with the

‘‘appropriate ATF officer.’’ All of the

authorities of the Director that were not

previously delegated are also placed

with the ‘‘appropriate ATF officer.’’

Along with this final rule, ATF is

publishing ATF Order 1130.10,

Delegation Order—Delegation of the

Director’s Authorities in 27 CFR part 25,

Beer, which delegates certain of these

authorities to the appropriate

organizational level. The effect of these

changes is to consolidate all delegations

of authority in part 25 into one

delegation instrument. This action both

simplifies the process for determining

what ATF officer is authorized to

perform a particular function and

facilitates the updating of delegations in

the future. As a result, delegations of

authority will be reflected in a more

timely and user-friendly manner.

In addition, this final rule also

eliminates all references in the

regulations that identify the ATF officer

with whom an ATF form is filed. This

is because ATF forms will indicate the

officer with whom they must be filed.

Similarly, this final rule also amends

part 25 to provide that the submission

of documents other than ATF forms

(such as letterhead applications, notices

and reports) must be filed with the

‘‘appropriate ATF officer’’ identified in

ATF Order 1130.10. These changes will

facilitate the identification of the officer

with whom forms and other required

submissions are filed.

This final rule also makes various

technical amendments to Subpart A—

Scope of Regulations of 27 CFR part 25.

First, a new § 25.6 is added to recognize

the authority of the Director to delegate

regulatory authorities in part 25 and to

identify ATF Order 1130.10 as the

instrument reflecting such delegations.

Second, § 25.3 is amended to provide

that the instructions for an ATF form

identify the ATF officer with whom it

must be filed. Third, this rule removes

from part 25 of Title 27 of the Code of

Federal Regulations the definition of the

term ‘‘delegate.’’ This term is used only

in the definition of Secretary in part 25

of Title 27 of the Code of Federal

Regulations. We have removed the

definition of ‘‘delegate’’ to be consistent

with most parts of title 27 of the Code

of Federal Regulations and to minimize

potential confusion and

misunderstanding with the appropriate

ATF officers to whom the Director has

delegated authority.

ATF has made or will make similar

changes in delegations to all other parts

of Title 27 of the Code of Federal

Regulations through separate

rulemakings. By amending the

regulations part by part, rather than in

one large rulemaking document and

ATF Order, ATF minimizes the time

expended in notifying interested parties

of current delegations of authority.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13,

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and its

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part

1320, do not apply to this final rule

because there are no new or revised

recordkeeping or reporting

requirements.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because no notice of proposed

rulemaking is required for this rule, the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

A copy of this final rule was submitted

to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the

Small Business Administration in

accordance with 26 U.S.C. 7805(f). No

comments were received.

Executive Order 12866

It has been determined that this rule

is not a significant regulatory action

because it will not: (1) Have an annual

effect on the economy of $100 million

or more or adversely affect in a material

way the economy, a sector of the

economy, productivity, competition,

jobs, the environment, public health or

safety, or State, local or tribal

governments or communities; (2) Create

a serious inconsistency or otherwise

interfere with an action taken or

planned by another agency; (3)

Materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan

programs or the rights and obligations of

recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel

legal or policy issues arising out of legal

mandates, the President’s priorities, or

the principles set forth in Executive

Order 12866.

5478 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 13 / Friday, January 19, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

Administrative Procedure Act

Because this final rule merely makes

technical amendments and conforming

changes to improve the clarity of the

regulations, it is unnecessary to issue

this final rule with notice and public

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b).

Similarly it is unnecessary to subject

this final rule to the effective date

limitation of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

Secretary of the Treasury delegated to

the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the

authority to enforce, among other laws,

the provisions of chapter 51 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC).

chapter 51, each of these various

delegation instruments must be
