DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Docket No. 930; ATF O 1130.24]


Delegation Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 
Subpart C and Subpart I of 27 CFR Part 46

To: All Bureau Supervisors


[[Page 52479]]


    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.
    2. Cancellation. This order cancels ATF O 1130.14, Delegation 
Order--Delegation of the Director's Authorities in Subpart I of 27 CFR 
Part 296, dated 1/11/2000, and the portion referring to part 296 in ATF 
O 1130.15, Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 CFR parts 
270, 275, and 296, dated 12/22/1999.
    3. Background. The Director has the authority to take final action 
on matters relating to tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes. 
Certain of these authorities were delegated to lower organizational 
levels in ATF O 1130.14 and ATF O 1130.15. ATF is currently 
restructuring the part numbering system in title 27 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR). The miscellaneous regulations relating to 
tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, previously located in 
27 CFR part 296, are now recodified as 27 CFR part 46. Due to this 
restructuring, ATF O 1130.14 and a portion of ATF O 1130.15 must be 
cancelled and a new order must be issued to reflect the new part 
number.
    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 C and subpart I of part 46 of title 27 CFR to subordinate 
officers. Also, this ATF order prescribes the subordinate officers with 
whom applications, notices, and reports required by subpart C and 
subpart I of part 46 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.
    5. Questions. Any questions concerning this order should be 
directed to the Regulations Division at 202-927-8210.

Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
