SUMMARY: The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is recodifying its regulations pertaining to liquor dealers. We are also making administrative changes to these regulations to reflect TTB's new name and organizational structure resulting from changes made by the Homeland Security Act of 2002. This document does not include any substantive regulatory changes.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 15, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl O. Joedicke, Regulations and Procedures Division, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, 1310 G Street, NW., Washington, DC 20220; telephone 202-927-8210; or e-mail Karl.Joedicke@ttb.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

As a part of its continuing efforts to reorganize chapter I of title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR chapter I), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) is removing all of part 194, Liquor Dealers, from subchapter M, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Excise Taxes, and recodifying it as part 31 in subchapter A, Liquors. We are also revising the title of new part 31 to read ``Alcohol Beverage Dealers.'' These changes improve the organization of chapter I of title 27 and better describe the contents of newly designated part 31. The table below shows from which section of part 194 the requirements of part 31 are derived.

In addition, section 1111 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135) divided the former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), Department of the Treasury, into two separate agencies, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in the Department of Justice, and TTB, which remains in the Department of the Treasury. This reorganization requires us to amend each of the CFR parts under our jurisdiction to reflect our Bureau's new name and organizational structure. This document makes the appropriate administrative, nonsubstantive changes to the newly designated part 31.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this final rule under 5 U.S.C. 553, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

Executive Order 12866

This final rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this final rule is not subject to the requirements of this Executive Order.

Inapplicability of Prior Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective Date Requirements

Because this final rule merely makes organizational and technical or

[[Page 19882]]

conforming nonsubstantive amendments to improve the layout of the regulations and 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 reasons, this final rule is not subject to the delayed effective date requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
