AUTHORIZATION TO USE BORIC ACID, U.S.P., IN SDA FORMULA NO. 40 IS REVOKED Proprietors of distilled spirits plants and others concerned: This circular is issued to inform you that Revenue Ruling 63-249, which will be published in Internal Revenue Bulletin No. 1963-47, of November 25, 1963, will revoke Revenue Ruling 58-561 (C.B. 1958-2, 998), which authorized the use of boric acid, U.S.P., as a substitute for one-half of the brucine (alkaloid) or brucine sulphate in specially denatured alcohol Formula No. 40. Industry Circular 58-22, referring to the then-existing critical shortage of brucine which developed as a result in the curtailment of strychnine production, announced that boric acid, U.S.P., would be authorized as a substitute for one-half of the brucine required. This was accomplished by Revenue Ruling 58-561. Since brucine is no longer scarce and since boric acid is no longer being used as a substitute denaturant in Formula No. 40, Revenue Ruling 58-561 is being revoked. Inquiries regarding this circular should refer to its number and should be addressed to the office of your Assistant Regional Commissioner, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax. Dwight E. Avis
