1513-AC31 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1513 Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau TTB 1500 Department of the Treasury TREAS Implementation of Statutory Amendments Requiring the Modification of the Definition of Cider

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) published a temporary rule amending its wine regulations to implement changes made to the definition of "hard cider" in the IRC under the PATH Act. Through a concurrent notice of proposed rulemaking, TTB solicited public comments on the temporary regulatory amendments. TTB subsequently published a second temporary rule that delayed a labeling requirement; that is, that the statement "Tax class 5041(b)(6)" appear on the container of any wine for which the hard cider tax rate is claimed when the product is removed from wine premises or customs custody. TTB issued a concurrent notice of proposed rulemaking and re-opened the comment period for the original proposal. TTB is considering amendments to the regulations in response to the comments received.
