## Abstract

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is amending trade practice regulations under the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act on tied-house, exclusive outlets, commercial bribery, and consignment sales by adding standards for enforcing the ``exclusion'' element where appropriate. Under the FAA Act, ``exclusion, in whole or in part, of distilled spirits, wine, or malt beverages, sold or offered for sale by other persons'' is a necessary element of a violation of the tied-house, exclusive outlets or commercial bribery provisions. In this final rule, ATF promulgates a framework for establishing ``exclusion,'' identifies promotional practices which result in control of a retailer or in exclusion under the Act, identifies factors which will apply in evaluating exclusion, and identifies those practices for which there is no likelihood that exclusion will result and for which the Bureau will not take action (safe harbors). Other regulatory amendments are also made as a result of an ATF review of the regulations and an industry petition submitted in 1992.
