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 be
able to evaluate the petition and consider creating a new AVA or
amending the name, boundary, or other terms of an existing
AVA.
Previous submissions separated
the categories of affected public for private sector's (1)
businesses or other for-profits and (2) farms as individual
information collections (IC). We are combining these private
sectors under one single IC. There is no change to the burden.
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
