DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms


Delegation Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 
CFR Parts 6, 8, 10 and 11

    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. Background. Under current regulations, the Director has 
authority to

[[Page 52160]]

take final action on matters relating to ``tied-house,'' exclusive 
outlets, commercial bribery and consignment sales under the Federal 
Alcohol Administration Act. We have determined that certain of these 
authorities should, in the interest of efficiency, be delegated to a 
lower organizational level.
    3. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury 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 
Parts 6, 8, 10 and 11 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR Parts 6, 8, 10 and 11, which are not ATF 
forms, are filed. The following table identifies the regulatory 
sections, authorities and documents to be filed, and the authorized ATF 
officials. The authorities in the table may not be redelegated. An ATF 
organization chart showing the directorates involved in this delegation 
order has been attached.

Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
