Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), Treasury.
ACTION:

This final rule amends the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau regulations to reflect the Bureau's new name and organizational structure.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Homeland Security Act of 2002
On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (the Act). Effective on January 24, 2003, section 1111 of the Act transferred the “authorities, functions, personnel, and assets” of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, to the Department of Justice, with the exception of certain enumerated authorities retained by the Department of the Treasury. The authorities retained by the Secretary of the Treasury under section 1111(c)(2) of the Act include the administration and enforcement of chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal Revenue Code, sections 4181 and 4182 of the Internal Revenue Code, and title 27 of the United States Code.
To administer the authorities retained by the Secretary of the Treasury, section 1111 of the Act also created the Tax and Trade Bureau within the Department of the Treasury. Treasury Order No. 120-01 (Revised), dated January 24, 2003, designated the Tax and Trade Bureau as the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and directed that the head of TTB is the Administrator who shall exercise the authorities, perform the functions, and carry out the duties of the Secretary in the administration and enforcement of the laws cited in section 1111(c)(2) of the Act.
Publication of T.D. ATF-487, OLC No. 01-03
On January 24, 2003, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Justice jointly published in the
Federal Register
(68 FR 3744), as T.D. ATF-487 and OLC No. 01-03, a document entitled “Reorganization of Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations.” That document divided into two chapters the regulations contained in title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), entitled “Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms,” by establishing in title 27 a new chapter II entitled “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Department of Justice” and placing, in that new chapter II, four existing parts and one existing subpart that concerned functions transferred by the Act to the Department of Justice. The other existing provisions were retained in chapter I of title 27, which was re-titled “Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, Department of the Treasury.”
Administrative Changes in This Final Rule
With the exception of parts 28, 31, and 41, for which nomenclature and organizational conforming changes were previously made, this final rule amends those parts retained in 27 CFR chapter I that require changes to conform them to the name and organizational structure of TTB. Specifically, we are either removing references to the former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms or replacing them with the appropriate TTB references. For example, we are changing the references to the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,” “ATF,” and “Director” to “Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau,” “TTB,” and “Administrator,” respectively. We are also amending mailing addresses to reflect the Bureau's new locations.
For consistency, we are changing references to “ATF” forms to “TTB” forms even though some of our forms have not yet been updated to reflect TTB's name and organization. Any reference to a “TTB” form in the regulations should be considered a reference to the corresponding form having the same number preceded by “ATF.” We will continue to accept those “ATF” forms until each form is appropriately modified and existing stocks of the old form are depleted.
In this final rule, we also remove each specific title of the person having delegated authority in the texts of 27 CFR parts 19, 40, and 71 and add, in its place in each case, a reference to the “appropriate TTB officer,” consistent with the approach taken in the other parts of the TTB regulations. We also revise the delegation of authority sections in parts 28 and 40 to conform them to the wording of similar sections elsewhere in the regulations. We also add a new delegation of authority section to parts 19, 31, and 71, and we revise the definition of “appropriate TTB officer” in part 31 to conform to the wording used in other parts of the regulations.
TTB also has executed delegation orders pertaining to those parts of the TTB regulations that require delegations of the Administrator's authority. With reference to each relevant regulatory provision within the part in question, each delegation order defines the “appropriate TTB officer” to whom the TTB Administrator delegates authority for purposes of the part. The promulgation of a separate delegation instrument for each part will simplify the process for determining which TTB officer is authorized to perform a particular function and will facilitate any future updating of these delegation orders. The texts of the delegation orders will be published in the
Federal Register
and will be maintained on the TTB Web site (
http://www.ttb.gov).
The administrative changes referred to above make no substantive changes to the regulations that will affect a member of the public.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Because this final rule is not required to be preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601et seq.) do not apply.
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this final rule is not subject to the analysis this Executive Order requires.
Inapplicability of Prior Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective Date Procedures
Because this final rule merely makes technical or conforming nonsubstantive
( printed page 16919)
amendments to the regulations to reflect the new name and organizational structure of TTB, no notice of proposed rulemaking and public comment period are required under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). For the same reason, this final rule is not subject to the delayed effective date requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
