[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 27, Volume 2] [Revised as of April 1, 2008] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 27CFR40.405] [Page 55] TITLE 27--ALCOHOL, TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND FIREARMS CHAPTER I--ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO TAX AND TRADE BUREAU, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY PART 40_MANUFACTURE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND CIGARETTE PAPERS AND TUBES--Table Subpart K_Manufacture of Cigarette Papers and Tubes Sec. 40.405 Strengthening bond. Where the appropriate TTB officer determines that the amount of the bond, under which a manufacturer of cigarette papers and tubes is currently carrying on such business, no longer adequately protects the revenue, the appropriate TTB officer may require the manufacturer to file a strengthening bond in an appropriate amount with the same surety as that on the bond already in effect, in lieu of a superseding bond to cover the full liability on the basis of Sec. 40.404. The appropriate TTB officer shall refuse to approve any strengthening bond where any notation is made thereon which is intended or which may be construed as a release of any former bond, or as limiting the amount of either bond to less than its full amount.
