Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2008 / Notices 7805 

Law 109–432, 120 Stat. 2922, 2972. As 

amended by the Act, section 5388(c) of 

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 

U.S.C. 5388(c)) contains a provision 

regarding the use of the 17 designations 

listed in the Agreement. The provision 

states that, in the case of wine of the EC, 

the listed designations may be used only 

if the wine conforms to the standard of 

identity, if any, for such wine contained 

in the regulations issued under section 

5388 (27 CFR 24.257 and, by reference, 

27 CFR 4.21) or, if there is no such 

standard, to the trade understanding of 

such class and type. All other wines 

bearing the listed designations are 

subject to two additional requirements: 

(1) That the wine be marked with an 

appropriate appellation of origin 

disclosing the origin of the wine, and (2) 

that the person, or the person’s 

successor in interest, using a listed 

designation hold a COLA or Certificate 

of Exemption from Label Approval 

issued by the Secretary of the Treasury 

before March 10, 2006, for a wine label 

bearing that designation and that brand 

name or brand name and fanciful name. 

Held, that an EU wine product that 

bears one of the 17 designations listed 

in section 5388(c)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal 

Revenue Code of 1986 and that 

conforms to the EU standard for such 

wine complies with the United States 

standard of identity or the trade 

understanding for such wine. The recent 

amendment to 26 U.S.C. 5388(c) 

concerning semi-generic designations 

does not require such EU wine products 

imported into the United States to meet 

a new standard of identity. 

Signed: January 24, 2008. 

John J. Manfreda, 

Administrator.
