Delegation of Authority in Part 170

This final rule places all ATF authorities contained in part 170, title 27 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), with the "appropriate ATF officer" and requires that persons file documents required by 27 CFR part 170, with the "appropriate ATF officer." Also, this final rule removes the definitions of, and references to, specific officers subordinate to the Director. Concurrently with this Treasury Decision, ATF Order 1130.20 is being published. Through this Order, the Director has delegated the authorities in 27 CFR part 170 to the appropriate ATF officers and specified the ATF officers with whom applications, notices, and reports that are not ATF forms are filed.
