organizational level.

    4. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury Department Order No. 120-
01 (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 20, 21 and 22 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF 
order prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, 
notices, and reports required by 27 CFR Parts 20, 21 and 22, which are 
not ATF forms, are filed. The attached 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.
    5. Questions. If you have questions about this ATF order, contact
