TTB To Extend Comment Period for the Trade Practices Regulations ANPRM Until July 7
TTB announces it is extending the comment period for Notice No. 216, Consideration of Updates to Trade Practice Regulations, for an additional 30 days, until July 7, 2023. An official notice announcing that final extension of the comment period will appear in the Federal Register on Monday, June 5 and is posted for public inspection today. TTB is taking this action in response to comments received concerning an extension of the comment period for Notice No. 216.
In November 2022, TTB published Notice No. 216, an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM), in response to the Treasury Department’s report on competition in the markets for beer, wine, and spirits, which recommended that TTB consider revisions to its trade practice regulations. Through that ANPRM, we are seeking public comment from industry members, consumers, and other interested parties to assist us in determining whether TTB should proceed with regulatory initiatives concerning the issues described in that ANPRM related to the Federal Alcohol Administration Act’s exclusive outlet, tied house, commercial bribery, and consignment sales regulations.
To view all documents and comments received to date related to the ANPRM, see Docket No. TTB-2022-0011 at Regulations.gov. To submit comments electronically, use the comment form for Notice No. 216 posted at Regulations.gov. To submit comments by postal mail, see the instructions in the notice.
