DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Docket No. 929; ATF O 1130.13]


Delegation Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities

    To: All Bureau Supervisors.
    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 1100.96A, Delegation Order--Delegation to 
the Associate Director (Compliance Operations) of Authorities of the 
Director in 27 CFR part 18, Volatile Fruit-Flavor Concentrates, dated 
August 14, 1984, is canceled.
    3. Background. Under current regulations, the Director has 
authority to take final action on matters relating to drawback on 
taxpaid distilled spirits used in manufacturing nonbeverage products 
and the production of volatile fruit-flavor concentrate. 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 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 17 and 18 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR parts 17 and 18, 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.
    5. Questions. If you have questions about this ATF order, contact 
the Regulations Division (202-927-8210).

Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
