NOTICEABILITY OF ALCOHOL HEALTH WARNING STATEMENT -
ATF DECIDES NOT TO PURSUE RULEMAKING

ATF has decided not to pursue rulemaking to amend the regulations regarding the noticeability of the health warning statement required by the Alcoholic Beverage Labeling Act of 1988 (ABLA). After careful consideration of the petition filed on behalf of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) and others, the comments received in response to our advance notice of proposed rulemaking, and a review of the legislative history of the ABLA, ATF has determined that an amendment to the health warning statement regulations is unwarranted and unnecessary.
