Reorganization of Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations


AGENCIES: Department of the Treasury; Department of Justice.


ACTION: Final rule.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 divides the Bureau of 
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of the Treasury, into two 
separate agencies, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and 
Explosives (ATF) in the Department of Justice, and the Alcohol and 
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) in the Department of the Treasury. 
These changes require reorganization of title 27 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations. This final rule renames chapter I, establishes a new 
chapter II in 27 CFR, and removes certain regulations from chapter I 
and recodifies them in the new chapter II.


DATES: This rule is effective on January 24, 2003.

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, 650 Massachusetts Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20226; 202-927-9347.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


Background


    On November 25, 2002, the President signed into law the Homeland 
Security Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-296, 116 Stat. 2135 (2002). Under 
title XI, subtitle B, section 1111 of the Act, the ``authorities, 
functions, personnel, and assets'' of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco 
and Firearms, Department of the Treasury (the Bureau), are transferred 
to the Department of Justice, with the exception of certain enumerated 
authorities that are retained by the Department of the Treasury. The 
authorities retained by the Secretary of the Treasury include the 
administration and enforcement of chapters 51 and 52 of the Internal 
Revenue Code, sections 4181 and 4182 of the Internal Revenue Code, and 
title 27 of the United States Code.
    Section 1111 of the Homeland Security Act further provides that the 
Bureau will retain its identity as a distinct entity within the 
Department of Justice known as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, 
Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The functions retained by the 
Department of the Treasury are the responsibility of a new Alcohol and 
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The split of the Bureau's functions 
takes effect on January 24, 2003.


Reorganization of Title 27 CFR


    Title 27, Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR), currently contains 
one chapter titled ``Chapter I--Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and 
Firearms, Department of the Treasury.'' Since the Act divides the 
Bureau into two separate bureaus, this final rule reorganizes 27 CFR 
into two chapters, one for each new agency. The current chapter I will 
be retitled ``Chapter I--Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, 
Department of the Treasury.'' Chapter I will retain all current alcohol 
and tobacco regulations (except those relating to contraband 
cigarettes), as well as those related to the Federal firearms and 
ammunition excise tax. The newly established chapter II will be titled 
``Chapter II--Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Department of 
Justice.'' Chapter II will initially contain the four existing 27 CFR 
parts concerning firearms and explosives that are being moved from 
chapter I and recodified in the new chapter. Chapter II will also 
contain the existing regulations concerning contraband cigarettes.
    This final rule does not make any changes to the current 
requirements of the regulations in 27 CFR. It merely divides the 
Bureau's current regulations between the new TTB and ATF. In the near 
future, TTB and the Department of Justice will individually make the 
necessary technical corrections to their regulations required by the 
division of the Bureau into the two new bureaus. This may include 
changes to agency names and addresses, agency acronyms, Web site 
addresses, delegation order numbers, position titles, and cross 
references within the regulations.
    As noted, this final rule removes four existing parts and one 
existing subpart in 27 CFR concerning firearms, ammunition, explosives, 
and contraband cigarettes from chapter I and recodifies them in the new 
chapter II. These are:
    [sbull] Part 46, Subpart F--Distribution of Cigarettes, which 
becomes part 646;
    [sbull] Part 47, Importation of Arms, Ammunition and Implements of 
War, which becomes part 447;
    [sbull] Part 55, Commerce in Explosives, which becomes part 555;
    [sbull] Part 178, Commerce in Firearms and Ammunition, which 
becomes part 478; and
    [sbull] Part 179, Machine Guns, Destructive Devices, and Certain 
Other Firearms, which becomes part 479.
    The following are derivation tables for each of these recodified 
parts:

Paperwork Reduction Act


    The provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 
104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR 
part 1320, do not apply to this final rule because there are no new or 
revised recordkeeping or reporting requirements.


Regulatory Flexibility Act


    Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule 
under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), the provisions 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.


Executive Order 12866


    This final rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined 
in Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this final rule is not subject 
to the analysis this Executive Order requires.


Administrative Procedure Act


    Because this final rule merely makes technical amendments to 
improve the organization of the regulations, no notice of proposed 
rulemaking and public comment period is required under 5 U.S.C. 
553(b)(B). Similarly, because this final rule makes no substantive 
changes and is merely a recodification of existing regulations, this 
final rule is not subject to the effective date limitation of 5 U.S.C. 
553(d).
