DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

[Notice No. 949; ATF O 1130.29]


Delegation Order--Delegation of The Director's Authorities in 27 
CFR Part 26, Liquors and Articles From Puerto Rico and the Virgin 
Islands

    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. Background. The Director has the authority to take final action 
on matters relating to liquors and articles from Puerto Rico and the 
Virgin Islands. Certain of these authorities have been delegated to 
lower organizational levels through ATF O 1130.23--Delegation Order--
Delegation of the Director's Authorities in 27 CFR part 250, Liquors 
and Articles from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. ATF is currently 
restructuring the part numbering system in title 27 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR). The regulations relating to liquors and 
articles from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, previously located in 
27 CFR part 250, are now recodified as 27 CFR part 26. Due to this 
restructuring, ATF O 1130.23 must be cancelled and a new order must be 
issued to reflect the new part number.
    3. Cancellation. ATF O 1130.23, Delegation Order--Delegation of the 
Director's Authorities in 27 CFR part 250, Liquors and Articles from 
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, dated 8/13/2001, is canceled.
    4. Delegations. Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau 
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 26 to subordinate officials. Also, this ATF order 
prescribes the subordinate officials with whom applications, notices, 
and reports required by 27 CFR part 26, 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 ATF order, contact 
the Regulations Division (202-927-8210).

Bradley A. Buckles,
Director.
