Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF) and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB)
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Homeland Security
Act of 2002. One provision of this act divided the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms into two new agencies: the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB), which remains in the U.S. Treasury; and the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which has moved to the Department
of Justice.
Responsibilities of TTB include collecting tobacco excise taxes and qualifying
applicants for
permits to manufacture or import tobacco products or to operate tobacco
export warehouses. ATF conducts investigations related to
contraband
cigarette trafficking activity.
