Abstract: To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverage products and to prevent consumer deception and unfair advertising practices, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act at 27 U.S.C. 205(e) requires that alcohol beverages sold or introduced into interstate or foreign commerce be labeled in conformity with regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury. Under this authority, the producer, bottler, or importer of an alcohol beverage must receive approval of the label for the product from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) prior to the product’s introduction into United States commerce. Respondents use TTB F 5100.31 to request and to obtain the required label approval. The form serves as both an application for and, if approved by TTB, a certificate of label approval (COLA), or as exemption from a certificate of label approval.
