TTB establishes American Viticultural
Areas (AVAs) through the regulatory process based on petitions
submitted from the public. TTB regulations in 27 CFR Part 9 specify
the information that must be included in the petition for TTB to
consider creating a new AVA or amending the name, boundary, or
other terms of an existing AVA.
This is a new collection. It
was submitted before and was assigned a number but not approved.
OMB had comments. The cost has been recalculated and no PRA
comments were received for the NPRM. We are preparing the Final
Rule.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
