Sec. 13.25  Appeal of qualification or denial.

    (a) Form of appeal. If an applicant for a certificate of label 
approval, certificate of exemption from label approval, or distinctive 
liquor bottle approval wishes to appeal the qualified approval or denial 
of an application, the applicant may file a written appeal with the 
appropriate ATF officer within 45 days after the date of the notice of 
qualification or denial. The appeal should explain why the applicant 
believes that the label or bottle is in compliance with applicable laws 
and regulations. If no appeal is filed within 45 days after the date of 
the notice of qualification or denial, the notice will be the final 
decision of ATF.
    (b) Informal resolution. Applicants may choose to pursue informal 
resolution of disagreements regarding correction sheets or 
qualifications by requesting an informal conference with the appropriate 
ATF officer. However, formal administrative appeals must comply with the 
provisions of paragraph (a) of this section.
