Sec. 25.58  New and superseding formulas.

    (a) New formulas. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of 
this section, you must file a new formula (with a new formula number) 
for approval by TTB if you--
    (1) Create an entirely new fermented product that requires a 
formula;
    (2) Add new ingredients to an existing formulation;
    (3) Delete ingredients from an existing formulation;
    (4) Change the quantity of an ingredient used from the quantity or 
range of usage in an approved formula;
    (5) Change an approved processing, filtration, or other special 
method of manufacture that requires the filing of a formula; or
    (6) Change the contribution of alcohol from flavors or ingredients 
that contain alcohol.
    (b) Superseding formulas. You may file a superseding formula, 
instead of a new formula, if you have made any change listed in 
paragraphs (a)(2) through (a)(6) of this section and that change is not 
of a type that would require a holder of a certificate of label approval 
to file a new application for label approval on TTB Form 5100.31.
    (1) A superseding formula replaces an existing formula, and you 
should file one only if you do not intend to use the existing formula 
any more. A superseding formula must be filed with TTB for approval. 
When TTB approves a superseding formula, TTB will cancel your previous 
formula.
    (2) You may use the same formula number for a superseding formula 
that you used for the formula the superseding formula replaces, but you 
must annotate the formula number to indicate it is a superseding formula 
number. (For example, ``Formula 2, superseding.'')
    (c) When you file a new or superseding formula with TTB, you must 
follow the procedures and other requirements of Sec. Sec. 25.56 and 
25.57.
