1513-AD00 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1513 Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau TTB 1500 Department of the Treasury TREAS Establishment of the Nine Lakes of East Tennessee Viticultural Area

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of local wine industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes (TTB) to establish the 4,064-square mile "Nine Lakes of East Tennessee" American viticultural area (AVA) in eastern Tennessee.  The use of AVA names on wine labels, which is voluntary, allows vintners to better describe the origin of their wine and consumers to better identify the wines they may purchase.
