Title: Yamhill-Carlton District Viticultural Area Name Change 
Abstract: TTB received a petition requesting an AVA name modification to "Yamhill-Carlton." The petitioner wishes to shorten the name to fit on wine labels. Currently, some industry members cannot fit, or use, the long "Yamhill-Carlton District" name on their labels. Yamhill-Carlton wine bottlers believe that reducing the AVA name length to "Yamhill-Carlton" will make it possible to use it on their wine labels. "Yamhill-Carlton District" was originally determined by TTB as a term of viticultural significance base on available information related to the original AVA petition. TTB now has additional information from the current petition to support the "Yamhill-Carlton" name as one of viticultural significance. Should the name change eventually be approved, then TTB will eventually drop the "Yamhill-Carlton District" name as a term of viticultural significance after the end of a label use-up period, since it will no longer be an approved AVA name.
