DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
[Order ATF O 1130.5]
Delegation Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27
CFR Part 24, Wine
1. Purpose. This order delegates certain authorities of the
Director to subordinate ATF officers and prescribes the subordinate ATF
officers with whom persons file documents which are not ATF forms.
2. Cancellation. ATF O 1100.78B, Delegation Order--Delegation to
the Associate Director (Compliance Operations) of Authorities of the
Director in 27 CFR part 240, Wine, dated 4/30/84, and ATF O 1100.97A,
Delegation Order--Delegation to the Associate Director (Compliance
Operations) of Authorities of the Director in 27 CFR part 231, Taxpaid
Wine Bottling Houses, dated 4/5/84, are canceled.
3. Background. Under current regulations, the Director has
authority to take final action on matters relating to wine. We have
determined that certain of these authorities should, in the interest of
efficiency, be delegated to a lower organizational level.
4. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury Department Order No. 120-
1 (formerly 221), dated June 6, 1972, and by 26 CFR 301.7701-9, this
ATF order delegates certain authorities to take final action prescribed
in 27 CFR Part 24 to subordinate officers. Also, this ATF order
prescribes the subordinate officers with whom applications, notices,
and reports required by 27 CFR part 24, which are not ATF forms, are
filed. The attached table identifies the regulatory sections, documents
and authorized ATF officers. The authorities in the table may not be
redelegated. An ATF organization chart showing the directorates
involved in this delegation order has been attached.
John W. Magaw,
Director.
