# [Amended]
**AGENCY:**
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Department of the Treasury.
**ACTION:**
Final Rule (Treasury decision).
**SUMMARY:**
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is recodifying the regulations pertaining to liquors and articles from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The purpose of this recodification is to reissue the regulations in part 250 of title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (27 CFR part 250) as 27 CFR part 26. This change improves the organization of title 27.
**DATES:**
This rule is effective on July 25, 2001.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**
Lisa M. Gesser, Regulations Division, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20226, (202-927-9347) or e-mail at [email protected].
**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
As a part of continuing efforts to reorganize the part numbering system of title 27 CFR, ATF is removing part 250, in its entirety, and is recodifying the regulations as 27 CFR part 26. This change improves the organization of title 27 CFR.
In addition to the recodification, ATF is making two technical amendments to title 27 CFR, chapter I. Specifically, we are designating Subchapter B as Tobacco and in part 251 we are revising the reference to part 240 to read part 24.

**Paperwork Reduction Act**
The provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and its implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, do not apply to this final rule because there are no new or revised recordkeeping or reporting requirements.
**Regulatory Flexibility Act**
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553), the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ) do not apply. We sent a copy of this final rule to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 7805(f). No comments were received.
**Executive Order 12866**
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this final rule is not subject to the analysis required by this Executive Order.
**Administrative Procedure Act**
Because this final rule merely makes technical amendments and conforming changes to improve the clarity of the regulations, it is unnecessary to issue this final rule with notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Similarly, because of the nature of this final rule, good cause is found that it is unnecessary to subject this final rule to the effective date limitation of 5 U.S.C. 553(d).
