Abstract: To provide consumers with adequate information as to the identity of alcohol beverages and prohibit consumer deception, the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) at 26 U.S.C. 205, and the related Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR chapter I require alcohol beverage bottlers and importers to apply for Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs) for such products introduced into interstate commerce or released from customs custody. Additionally, those regulations require domestic bottlers of distilled spirits and wines to apply for COLA exemptions for certain products sold only in intra-State commerce and require domestic bottlers and importers of distilled spirits to apply for approval of distinctive bottles. The vast majority of bottlers and importers complete and submit such applications electronically using TTB’s web-based COLAs Online system. Specific to this information collection, to protect TTB computer systems from cyber threats and misuse, persons desiring to use COLAs Online must first submit and receive TTB approval of a COLAs Online Access Request using the COLAs Online User Registration function or paper form TTB F 5013.2, COLAs Online Access Request. The collected information identifies the COLAs Online access applicant and confirms their authority to act on behalf of a specific alcohol beverage industry member.
