DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Docket No. 944; ATF O 1130.31]


Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 CFR Part 44, 
Exportation of Tobacco Products and Cigarette Papers and Tubes, Without 
Payment of Tax, or With Drawback of Tax

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 exportation of 
tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes, without payment of 
tax, or with drawback of tax. The Bureau has determined that certain of 
these authorities should, in the interest of efficiency, be delegated 
to a lower organizational level.
    3. Cancellation. ATF O 1100.102A, Delegation Order--Delegation to 
the Associate Director (Compliance Operations) of Authorities of the 
Director in 27 CFR part 290, Exportation

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 part 44 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR part 44, 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.
