ATF - Dear Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Cigarette Papers and Tubes, or Export Warehouse Proprietor

August 1, 1997

Dear Manufacturer of Tobacco Products or Cigarette Papers and Tubes, or Export Warehouse Proprietor:

On September 2, 1997, the technical services office covering your area will be changed from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Cincinnati, Ohio. The change in this technical services office is a part of an overall plan to combine our five technical services offices into one office in Cincinnati.

The consolidation of technical services offices will reduce ATF costs by improving the efficiency of our operations. With the streamlined operation, ATF will continue to maintain a high level of service to businesses and individuals.

This change in technical services offices does not affect the other ATF field Enforcement offices for your area. The duties of these offices include on-site inspection and investigation by inspectors and special agents of operations involving spirits, wine, beer, tobacco, firearms, explosives and arson.

We have planned these changes so there will be a minimum of inconvenience to your operations. Please help us by referring to the information on the back of this letter which identifies the new ATF technical services office, and the Regulatory and Criminal Enforcement offices for your area. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the specialist in technical services or area supervisor responsible for your area.

Sincerely yours, /s/ Andrew L. Vita Associate Director (Enforcement)
