Sec. 26.52  Still wines containing carbon dioxide.

    (a) General. Still wines may contain not more than 0.392 gram of 
carbon dioxide per 100 milliliters of wine; except that a tolerance to 
this maximum limitation, not to exceed 0.009 gram of carbon dioxide per 
100 milliliters of wine, will be allowed where the amount of carbon 
dioxide in excess of 0.392 gram per 100 milliliters of wine was due to 
mechanical variations which could not be completely controlled under 
good commercial practices. Such tolerance will not be allowed where it 
is found that the limitation of 0.392 gram of carbon dioxide per 100 
milliliters of wine is continuously or intentionally exceeded, or where 
the variation results from the use of methods or equipment not in accord 
with good commercial practices.
    (b) Notice required. Proprietors intending to add carbon dioxide to, 
or retain carbon dioxide in, still wines to be shipped to the United 
States shall submit a notice to the appropriate ATF officer. The notice 
shall show the name and address of the proprietor and shall identify the 
method or process, the kinds (class and type) of wine, and the type of 
equipment to be used. A corrected notice shall be filed if there is any 
change (except for minor changes) in the information contained in the 
notice.
    (c) Filing and disposition of notice. The notice required by 
paragraph (b) of this section shall be submitted in quadruplicate to the 
appropriate ATF officer, who shall retain one copy, forward one copy to 
the Secretary, and one copy to the revenue agent at the proprietor's 
premises, and return one copy to the proprietor. The proprietor shall 
keep the notice available for examination by revenue agents.
