DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
[ATF O 1130.14]
Delegation Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities in
Subpart I of 27 CFR Part 296
1. Purpose
This order delegates the authorities of the Director to subordinate
ATF officers and prescribes the subordinate ATF officers with whom
persons file documents which are not ATF forms. Specifically, this
order specifies the appropriate ATF officers that are designated in
Treasury Decision ATF-423, which revised subpart I of part 296 of Title
27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the floor stocks tax on
cigarettes.
2. Cancellation
This order cancels ATF O 1100.154, Delegation Order--Delegation of
Certain Authorities of the Director in 27 CFR parts 170 and 296.
3. Background
Under current regulations, the Director has authority to take final
action on matters relating to tobacco products and cigarette papers and
tubes. 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
subpart I of part 296 of Title 27 CFR to subordinate officers. Also,
this ATF order prescribes the subordinate officers with whom
applications, notices, and reports required by subpart I of part 296 of
Title 27 CFR, 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 and the positions involved
in this delegation order has been attached.
John W. Magaw,
Director.
