Sec.  19.75  Assignment of officers and supervision of operations.

    (a) General. The appropriate TTB officer may assign such number of 
TTB officers to distilled spirits plants and utilize controls (including 
the use of Government locks and seals) as necessary to maintain 
supervision of operations conducted at such plants. When supervision is 
necessary:
    (1) The appropriate TTB officer may require a proprietor to delay 
any distilled spirits operation so that it may be conducted in the 
presence of an appropriate TTB officer; and
    (2) The appropriate TTB officer may require the proprietor to submit 
a schedule of operations to an appropriate TTB officer.
    (b) Hours of operation. When operations at a distilled spirits plant 
are to be conducted in the presence of an appropriate TTB officer, such 
operations: (1) Shall not be conducted on Sunday unless specifically 
authorized by the appropriate TTB officer in each instance on the 
showing of an emergency; and (2) Shall be conducted during an 8-hour 
period between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. unless, pursuant to the proprietor's 
application the appropriate TTB officer authorizes the performance and 
supervision of operations during other hours. The appropriate TTB 
officer, in administering this provision, shall not restrict such 
operation or function to a greater extent than did the provisions of 
internal revenue law and regulations on June 30, 1959.
    (c) Notification of supervision. (1) When it is determined that 
supervision of plant operations is necessary, the appropriate TTB 
officer shall notify the proprietor of the extent of TTB supervision.
    (2) If supervision of a distilled spirits plant was not terminated 
as of December 31, 1979, notification is not necessary for continued 
supervision.
    (d) Withdrawal of supervision. The appropriate TTB officer shall 
notify the proprietor when TTB supervision of plant operations is to be 
withdrawn.
