Sec.  29.55  Registry of stills and distilling apparatus.

    (a) General. Every person having possession, custody, or control of 
any still or distilling apparatus set up shall, immediately on its being 
set up, register the still or distilling apparatus, except that a still 
or distilling apparatus not used or intended for use in the 
distillation, redistillation, or recovery of distilled spirits is not 
required to be registered. Registration may be accomplished by 
describing the still or distilling apparatus on the registration or 
permit application prescribed in this chapter for qualification under 26 
U.S.C. chapter 51 or, if qualification is not required under 26 U.S.C. 
chapter 51, on a letter application, and filing the application with the 
appropriate TTB officer. Approval of the application by the appropriate 
TTB officer will constitute registration of the still or distilling 
apparatus.
    (b) When still is set up. A still will be regarded as set up and 
subject to registry when it is in position over a furnace, or connected 
with a boiler so that heat may be applied, irrespective of whether a 
condenser is in position. This rule is intended merely as an 
illustration and should not be construed as covering all types of stills 
or condensers requiring registration.
    (c) Change in location or ownership. Where any distilling apparatus 
registered under this section is to be removed to another location, sold 
or otherwise disposed of, the registrant shall, prior to the removal or 
disposition, file a letter notice with the appropriate TTB officer. The 
letter notice will show the intended method of disposition (sale, 
destruction, or othewise), the name and complete address of the person 
to whom disposition will be made, and the purpose for which the 
apparatus will be used. After removal, sale, or other disposal, the 
person having possession, custody, or control of any distilling 
apparatus intended for use in distilling shall immediately register the 
still or distilling apparatus on its being set up or, if already set up, 
immediately on obtaining possession, custody, or control. The registrant 
shall also comply with the procedures prescribed in this chapter for 
amendment of the registration or permit application.
