Sec. 25.101  Disapproval of bonds or consents of surety.

    (a) Reasons for disapproval. The appropriate ATF officer may 
disapprove a bond or consent of surety if the individual, firm, 
partnership, corporation, or association giving the bond or consent of 
surety, or if any of the above entities owning, controlling or actively 
participating in the management of a business giving a bond as a brewer, 
has been previously convicted in a court of competent jurisdiction of:
    (1) Any fraudulent noncompliance with any provision of law of the 
United States if it related to internal revenue or customs taxation of 
distilled spirits, wines or beer, or if the offense shall have been 
compromised with the individual, firm, partnership, corporation, or 
association on payment of penalties or otherwise; or
    (2) Any felony under a law of any State or the District of Columbia, 
or the United States, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, importation, or 
transportation of distilled spirits, wines, beer, or other intoxicating 
liquor.
    (b) Appeal of disapproval. If the bond or consent of surety is 
disapproved, the person giving the bond or consent of surety may appeal 
the disapproval to the appropriate ATF officer, who will grant a hearing 
in the matter if requested by the applicant or brewer, and whose 
decision will be final.
