HAIR SPRAYS MANUFACTURED WITH
SPECIALLY DENATURED ALCOHOL
Users of specially denatured alcohol
and others concerned:
This circular is issued to inform you of the provisions of a
revenue ruling, relating to hair spray manufactured with specially
denatured alcohol and packaged in pressurized containers, which
will be published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin in the near
future.
The revenue ruling will provide that hair spray, manufactured
with specially denatured alcohol under the provisions of 26 CFR
Part 211 and packaged in pressurized containers by a manufacturer
(permittee), may be made without the addition of, or with a
decreased amount of perfume oil upon the submission of a formula
on Form 1479-A and approval by the Director, Alcohol and Tobacco
Tax Division. However, hair spray which is shipped in bulk to a
nonpermittee for packaging in pressurized containers must contain
not less than 1/2 ounce of an acceptable perfume oil per gallon of
finished product. This ruling will not be applicable to hair
spray manufactured with specially denatured alcohol Formula No. 39-C,
which must contain not less than 2 fluid ounces of perfume material
in each gallon of the finished product as required by 26 CFR 211.192.
Inquiries concerning this circular should refer to its number
and should be addressed to the office of your Assistant Regional
Commissioner, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax.
