§ 19.1008 - Marks.


Latest version.
  • (a) Fuel alcohol. The proprietor shall conspicuously and permanently mark or securely label each container of fuel alcohol containing 55 gallons or less that will be withdrawn from the plant premises, as follows:

    The mark or label shall be placed on the head or side of the container, and shall be in plain legible letters. Proprietors may place other marks or labels on containers so long as they do not obscure the required mark.

    (b) Spirits. When barrels, drums or similiar portable containers of spirits are to be transferred by a proprietor to a distilled spirits plant qualified under subpart G of this part, each container will be marked or labeled in plain legible letters on the side or head to show the following information:

    (1) Quantity in wine gallons;

    (2) Proof;

    (3) Serial number of container;

    (4) Name, address (city or town and State) and permit number of the alcohol fuel plant; and

    (5) The words “Spirits-For Alcohol Fuel Use Only”.

    Proprietors may place other marks or labels on such containers so long as they do not obscure the required mark. Serial numbers will be assigned consecutively commencing with “1”. When the numbering of any series reaches “1,000,000”, the proprietor may recommence the series. The recommenced series will be given an alphabetical prefix or suffix. Where there is a change in proprietorship, or in the individual, firm, corporate name or trade name, the series in use at the time of the change may be continued.
