Sec.  19.37  Average effective tax rate.

    (a) The proprietor may establish an average effective tax rate for 
any eligible distilled spirits product based on the total proof gallons 
in all batches of the same composition which have been produced during 
the preceding 6-month period and which have been or will be bottled or 
packaged, in whole or in part, for domestic consumption. At the 
beginning of each month, the proprietor shall recompute the average 
effective tax rate so as to include only the immediately preceding 6-
month period. The average effective tax rate established for a product 
will be shown in the record of average effective tax rates prescribed in 
Sec.  19.763.
    (b) If the appropriate TTB officer finds that the use of this 
procedure jeopardizes the revenue or causes administrative difficulty, 
the proprietor shall discontinue the use of this procedure.
