AMENDMENT AND REISSUANCE OF 27 CFR Part 5

Proprietors of Distilled Spirits Plants, Importers and Wholesalers of Distilled Spirits, and others concerned:

This circular is issued to provide you with a reprint of Treasury Decision 7020 amending and reissuing 27 CFR Part 5, Labeling and Advertising of Distilled Spirits, which was published in the Federal Register for December 30, 1969.

The Treasury Department announced in April 1967 that a series of three public hearings would be held on proposed amendments to 27 CFR Part 5. The first of these hearings was held beginning on September 18, 1967. Treasury Decision 6945, published in the Federal Register on January 26, 1968, contained amendments resulting from that hearing. The second hearing was held beginning on April 1, 1968. Treasury Decision 6973, published in the Federal Register on September 26, 1968, contained the amendments resulting from that hearing.

The third and concluding hearing in the series was held beginning on April 1, 1969, pursuant to notice published in the Federal Register for January 23, 1969, and Treasury Decision 7020 contains the amendments resulting from that hearing and a complete reissuance of 27 CFR Part 5.
