DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
31 CFR Subtitle A, Chs. I and II
Semiannual Agenda
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, September 19, 1980) and
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review,''
September 30, 1993), which require the publication by the Department of
a semiannual agenda of regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For additional information about a
specific entry in the agenda, contact the Agency Contact identified in
the item relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The semiannual agenda of the Department of
the Treasury conforms to the Unified Agenda format developed by the
Regulatory Information Service Center (RISC).
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 transferred the United
States Customs Service from the Treasury Department to the new
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). That Act, however, provides
that the Secretary of the Treasury retains the regulatory authority
for what the Act defines as customs revenue functions, but provides
the Secretary of the Treasury plenary power to delegate such
authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security. For this reason,
Customs regulations continue to be listed in Treasury's portion of
this semiannual regulatory agenda.
Dated: April 15, 2003.
Richard S. Carro,
Senior Advisor to the General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Notice of proposed rulemaking II (NPRM II) was a reissuance
of NPRM I published on September 21, 1995, which proposed to fix the
time by which Treasury can decline payment on Treasury checks, provide
financial institutions with a date certain for final payments, and
provide greater clarity by defining previously undefined terms. NPRM I
also proposed that the Department of the Treasury may instruct Federal
Reserve Banks to intercept benefit payment checks to deceased payees
and to return, unpaid, those checks. In addition to the revisions
proposed in NPRM I, NPRM II announced the Department of the Treasury's
intent that this regulation supersede Federal common law regarding the
risk of loss on checks containing forged disbursing officer signatures,
such as counterfeits. The Interim Final Rule will amend this regulation
to implement provisions of the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996
authorizing the collection of debts owed by presenting banks through
Treasury Check Offset. NPRM III is a reissuance of NPRM II and will
address, at a minimum, the issues in NPRMs I and II.

Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Title 31 CFR part 245 governs the issuance of replacement
checks for checks drawn on the United States Treasury when: 1) the
original check has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated or defaced
to such an extent that it is rendered non-negotiable; 2) the original
check has been negotiated and paid on a forged or unauthorized
indorsement; and 3) the original check has been cancelled pursuant to
31 CFR part 240. This regulation is being revised to update the
regulation's definitions to make them consistent with the language of
the proposed revisions to the definitions in 31 CFR part 240. Other
revisions will govern the use of the Check Forgery Insurance Fund
(Fund). The Fund is a revolving fund established to settle payee claims
of non-receipt where the original check has been fraudulently
negotiated. The Fund ensures that innocent payees, whose Treasury
checks have been fraudulently cashed, receive replacement checks in a
timely manner.

such non-compliance to the Treasury's General Fund.

GAO from this description to reflect legislative amendments that effect
this change. Also, the regulation currently identifies monetary
thresholds that no longer exist. The change will reflect the removal of
these monetary limitations. These revisions will make the regulation
consistent with current procedures for securing payment of money
judgments against the United States.

2409. REVISION OF BREWERY REGULATIONS AND ISSUANCE OF REGULATIONS FOR
TAVERNS ON BREWERY PREMISES (BREWPUBS)
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 26 USC 5051 to 5057; 26 USC 5401 to 5418; 27 USC 205
CFR Citation: 27 CFR 7; 27 CFR 25
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: TTB intends to streamline regulations applying to breweries.
TTB will eliminate obsolete regulatory provisions. A formula system for
manufactured beer products will replace statements of process attached
to the brewers notice. The annual notice for small brewers to pay the
reduced rate of tax will be eliminated. Separate regulations for
brewpubs will be added to part 25. A section will be added to part 25
to authorize and regulate the alternating use of brewery premises by
different brewers. Regulations authorizing the operation of brew-on-
premises facilities will be added to part 25.
Statement of Need: TTB intends to streamline its regulations applying
to the brewing industry. These changes will simplify brewery reports
and operations and eliminate obsolete regulatory provisions. Specific
changes would include the implementation of a formula system for the
breweries to replace the statement of process; the establishment of a
separate subpart containing simplified regulations for brewpubs;
authorizing alternating brewery premises among different proprietors;
eliminating the annual notice to pay the reduced rate of tax for most
breweries; authorizing brewers to file the Brewer's Report of
Operations on a quarterly basis; and authorizing many brewers to take
inventories quarterly rather than monthly. The rule will also propose
minimum production standards for beer thereby reducing formula filings
and a revised statement of net contents requirement for certain
container sizes.
Summary of Legal Basis: TTB has undertaken this review of brewery
regulations as part of the President's Regulatory Initiative. These
regulations are issued under the general authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury to promulgate regulations to implement the Internal
Revenue Code and the Federal Alcohol Administration Act.
Alternatives: Not applicable. TTB believes that industry will support
these regulatory changes because they will streamline regulatory
requirements applying to the brewing industry.
Anticipated Cost and Benefits: The proposed regulations will benefit
the brewing industry by reducing required inventories, notices, and
other submissions to TTB.
Risks: Not applicable.

Abstract: The temporary rule prescribes TTB regulations relating to a

the regulations that allow a manufacturer of tobacco products or
cigarette papers and tubes and an export warehouse proprietor to send
[[Page 30789]]
such articles to a class 9 customs bonded warehouse. In addition, the
temporary rule prescribes regulations that allow a proprietor of a
customs bonded manufacturing warehouse to send such cigars to a class 9
customs bonded warehouse. This notice of proposed rulemaking invites

Monterey County, California. The proposed San Bernabe AVA would consist
of 24,796 acres of land that the petitioner states is predominantly
rolling hills with sandy soils that differ from the surrounding
Monterey AVA. The San Lucas realignment would transfer 1,100 of its
northwest acres to the proposed San Bernabe southern area in an effort
to conform with geographic considerations of the new area. These
proposals are the result of petitions filed by Claude Hoover of
Delicato Family Vineyards.
