DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Docket No. 940; ATF O 1130.12]


Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 CFR Part 251, 
Importation of Distilled Spirits, Wines, and Beer

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.

Director (Compliance Operations) of Authorities of the Director in 27

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 
part 251 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order prescribes the 
subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, and reports 
required by 27 CFR part 251, 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.
