Sec. 13.76  Service on applicant or certificate holder.

    (a) Method of service. ATF must serve notices of denial on an 
applicant by first class mail, or by personal delivery. ATF must serve 
notices of proposed revocation and notices of revocation on a 
certificate holder by certified mail, return receipt requested, by a 
commercial delivery service that will provide an equivalent written 
acknowledgment from the recipient, or by personal delivery.
    (b) Date of receipt. If there is a time limit on a certificate 
holder's action that runs from the holder's receipt of a document, the 
date of receipt may be established by a certified mail receipt, an 
equivalent written acknowledgment secured by a commercial delivery 
service, or by a written acknowledgment of personal delivery.
    (c) Person to be served. When service is by mail or other commercial 
delivery service, a copy of the document must be sent to the applicant 
or certificate holder at the address stated in the application or at the 
last known address. If authorized by the applicant or certificate 
holder, the copy of the document may be mailed to a designated 
representative. If service is by personal delivery, a copy of the 
document must be delivered to the certificate holder or to a designated 
representative. In the case of a corporation, partnership, or 
association, personal delivery may be made to an officer, manager, or 
general agent thereof, or to the attorney of record.
