Sec. 19.75  Assignment of officers and supervision of operations.

    (a) General. The regional director (compliance) may assign such 
number of ATF officers to distilled spirits plants and utilize controls 
(including the use of Government locks and seals) as necessary to 
maintain supervision of operations conducted at such plants. When 
supervision is necessary:
    (1) The regional director (compliance) may require a proprietor to 
delay any distilled spirits operation so that it may be conducted in the 
presence of an ATF officer; and
    (2) The regional director (compliance) may require the proprietor to 
submit a schedule of operations to an ATF officer.
    (b) Hours of operation. When operations at a distilled spirits plant 
are to be conducted in the presence of an ATF officer, such operations: 
(1) Shall not

be conducted on Sunday unless specifically authorized by the regional 
director (compliance) in each instance on the showing of an emergency; 
and (2) Shall be conducted during an 8-hour period between 7 a.m. and 5 
p.m. unless, pursuant to the proprietor's application the regional 
director (compliance) authorizes the performance and supervision of 
operations during other hours. The regional director (compliance), in 
administering this provision, shall not restrict such operation or 
function to a greater extent than did the provisions of internal revenue 
law and regulations on June 30, 1959.
    (c) Notification of supervision. (1) When it is determined that 
supervision of plant operations is necessary, the regional director 
(compliance) shall notify the proprietor of the extent of ATF 
supervision.
    (2) If supervision of a distilled spirits plant was not terminated 
as of December 31, 1979, notification is not necessary for continued 
supervision.
    (d) Withdrawal of supervision. The regional director (compliance) 
shall notify the proprietor when ATF supervision of plant operations is 
to be withdrawn.
