1513-AD21 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1513 Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau TTB 1500 Department of the Treasury TREAS Expansion of the Walla Walla Valley Viticultural Area

In response to a petition for rulemaking submitted on behalf of wine industry members, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau proposes to expand the "Walla Walla Valley" American viticultural area (AVA) by approximately 1,258 acres. The Walla Walla Valley AVA is located in Walla Walla County, Washington, and Umatilla County, Oregon, and is located within the established Columbia Valley AVA. The proposed expansion area is located in Walla Walla County, Washington and is also within the established Columbia Valley AVA. 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.
