46

    To: All Bureau Supervisors.
    1. Purpose. This order delegates certain authorities of the 
Director to subordinate ATF officials and prescribes the subordinate 
ATF officials with whom persons file documents which are not ATF forms.
    2. Background. Under current regulations, the Director has 
authority to take final action on matters relating to procedure and 
administration. The Bureau has determined that certain of these 
authorities should, in the interest of efficiency, be delegated to a 
lower organizational level.

the Associate Director (Compliance Operations) of Authorities of the

Certain of the Director's Authorities in Subparts C and I of 27 CFR 
part 296, dated 9/27/01, are canceled.
    4. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau 
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury Department Orders No. 
120-01 (formerly 221), dated June 6, 1972, and 120-04 (formerly 221-4), 
dated December 5, 1978, and by 26 CFR 301.7701-9, this ATF order 
delegates certain authorities to take final action prescribed in 27 CFR 
Parts 45 and 46 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR parts 45 and 46, 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.
    5. Questions. If you have questions about this order, contact the 
Regulations Division (202-927-8210).

Bradley A. Buckles,
