402 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 3 / Tuesday, January 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

Impact on Current Wine Labels 

Part 4 of the TTB regulations prohibits 

any label reference on a wine that 

indicates or implies an origin other than 

the wine’s true place of origin. For a 

wine to be labeled with an AVA name 

or with a brand name that includes an 

AVA name, at least 85 percent of the 

wine must be derived from grapes 

grown within the area represented by 

that name, and the wine must meet the 

other conditions listed in § 4.25(e)(3) of 

the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(3)). 

If the wine is not eligible for labeling 

with an AVA name and that name 

appears in the brand name, then the 

label is not in compliance, and the 

bottler must change the brand name and 

obtain approval of a new label. 

Similarly, if the AVA name appears in 

another reference on the label in a 

misleading manner, the bottler would 

have to obtain approval of a new label. 

Different rules apply if a wine has a 

brand name containing an AVA name 

that was used as a brand name on a 

label approved before July 7, 1986. See 

§ 4.39(i)(2) of the TTB regulations (27 

CFR 4.39(i)(2)) for details. 

The expansion of the Fair Play AVA 

will not affect any other existing AVA, 

and bottlers using ‘‘Fair Play,’’ ‘‘El 

Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra Foothills’’ as an 

appellation of origin or in a brand name 

for wines made from grapes within the 

‘‘Fair Play,’’ ‘‘El Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra 

Foothills’’ AVAs will not be affected by 

this expansion of the Fair Play AVA. 

The expansion of the Fair Play AVA 

will allow vintners to use ‘‘Fair Play,’’ 

‘‘El Dorado,’’ or ‘‘Sierra Foothills’’ as 

appellations of origin for wines made 

primarily from grapes grown within the 

expansion area if the wines meet the 

eligibility requirements for the 

appellation. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

TTB certifies that this regulation will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. The regulation imposes no new 

reporting, recordkeeping, or other 

administrative requirement. Any benefit 

derived from the use of an AVA name 

would be the result of a proprietor’s 

efforts and consumer acceptance of 

wines from that area. Therefore, no 

regulatory flexibility analysis is 

required. 

Executive Order 12866 

It has been determined that this rule 

is not a significant regulatory action as 

defined by Executive Order 12866 of 

September 30, 1993. Therefore, no 

regulatory assessment is required. 

Drafting Information 

Karen A. Thornton of the Regulations 

and Rulings Division drafted this final 

rule.

the 2,200-foot contour line until the 

contour line intersects with Jackass 

Canyon Creek near the eastern boundary 

of Section 10, T. 9 N., R. 12. E., on the 

‘‘Camino Quadrangle’’ map; 

(6) The boundary then proceeds 

southeast along Jackass Canyon Creek, 

crossing over the southwestern corner of 

the ‘‘Sly Park’’ Quadrangle map and 

onto the ‘‘Omo Ranch’’ Quadrangle 

map, to the headwaters of the creek, 

then proceeds in a straight line 

southeast to Grizzly Flat Road in 

Section 24, T. 9 N., R. 12 E.; 

(7) The boundary continues east along 

Grizzly Flat Road until the road 

intersects with the range line between R. 

12 E. and R. 13 E. (‘‘Omo Ranch

along the South Fork of the Cosumnes 

River to its intersection with the 

western boundary of Section 14, T. 8 N., 

R 11 E. (‘‘Aukum Quadrangle’’); 

(13) The boundary then proceeds 

north along the western boundary lines 

of Sections 14, 11, and 2, T. 8 N., R 11 

E., and then the western boundary lines 

of Sections 35 and 26, T. 9 N., R 11 E., 

to return to the beginning point 

(‘‘Aukum Quadrangle’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest 

Land Enhancement Program (FLEP) was 

adopted in the 2002 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 

107–171, Sec. 8002), as an amendment 

to the Cooperative Forestry Assistance 

Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–313; 16 U.S.C. 

2101 et seq.). FLEP replaced the 

Stewardship Incentives Program (SIP) 

and the Forestry Incentives Program 

(FIP). FLEP was optional in each State 

and was a voluntary program for nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) 

landowners. It provided for technical, 

educational, and cost-share assistance to 

promote the sustainability of NIPF 

forests. The law provided FLEP with 

$100 million from the Commodity 

Credit Corpration and spending 

authority though fiscal year 2007. 

However, half of these funds were 

diverted to wildfire control in 2003; $40 

million of these funds were not 

replenished; and the spending was 

cancelled. With Sec. 8001 of the 

Agriculture Act of 2014, or the 2014 

Farm Bill, Congress repealed FLEP.
