TTB Newsletter for October 4, 2024

This week, we published a proposed rule, Notice No. 234, Modernization of Permit Application Requirements for Wine Premises, in which we propose deregulatory amendments to our regulations to modernize and streamline the application requirements for wine premises. The amendments also propose to relax some reporting requirements associated with changes to the business of proprietors of wine premises.

We are making these proposals as a result of our evaluation of TTB permit and registration application requirements and in consideration of relevant public comments submitted to the Treasury Department in response to its request for recommendations concerning regulations that can be eliminated, modified, or streamlined to reduce burdens. We believe the amendments proposed in this document will significantly reduce the time needed to complete an application to establish and operate wine premises.
