Subpart C - Treasury Department Orders and Delegation Orders

Delegation Order - Delegation of the Directors Authorities in Subpart I of 27 CFR Part 296.

1. Purpose

This order delegates the authorities of the Director to subordinate ATF officers and prescribes the subordinate ATF officers with whom persons file documents which are not ATF forms. Specifically, this order specifies the appropriate ATF officers that are designated in Treasury Decision ATF-423, which revised subpart I of part 296 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for the floor stocks tax on cigarettes.

2. Cancellation

This order cancels ATF O 1100.154, Delegation Order--Delegation of Certain Authorities of the Director in 27 CFR parts 170 and 296.

3. Background

Under current regulations, the Director has authority to take final action on matters relating to tobacco products and cigarette papers and tubes. We have determined that certain of these authorities should, in the interest of efficiency, be delegated to a lower organizational level.

4. Delegations

Under the authority vested in the Director, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, by Treasury Department Order No. 120-1 (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 subpart I of part 296 of Title 27 CFR to subordinate officers. Also, this ATF order prescribes the subordinate officers with whom applications, notices, and reports required by subpart I of part 296 of Title 27 CFR, which are not ATF forms, are filed. The attached table identifies the regulatory sections, documents and authorized ATF officers. The authorities in the table may not be redelegated. An ATF organization chart showing the directorates and the positions involved in this delegation order has been attached.
