Abstract

In this rulemaking, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is proposing to comprehensively amend its regulations governing the labeling and advertising of alcohol beverage products in order to improve understanding of the regulatory requirements and to make compliance easier and less burdensome for industry members. As proposed, 27 CFR parts 4, 5, and 7 continue to contain the labeling regulations for wine, distilled spirits, and malt beverages, respectively, while the current subparts of parts 4, 5, and 7 that relate to advertising are removed from those parts and consolidated into a new part 14. These revisions are intended to simplify and clarify TTB’s alcohol beverage product labeling and advertising regulatory standards, and incorporate statutory changes, international agreements, recent case law, and current TTB guidance documents and policy into the regulations. In addition, to mirror a proposed change in the part 5 regulations, TTB also is proposing to amend 27 CFR part 19 to increase the alcohol content tolerance for distilled spirits to 0.3 percent. TTB believes that this proposal will allow greater flexibility and business efficiencies for distilled spirits bottlers.
