SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Notice No. 164, a notice of proposed 
rulemaking published in the Federal Register on November 22, 2016 (81 
FR 83752), the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) requested 
public comment on amendments to its regulations pertaining to the 
production of wine and in particular in regard to the permissible 
treatments that may be applied to wine and to juice from which wine is 
made. TTB issued the proposed amendments in response to requests from 
wine industry members to authorize certain wine treating materials and 
processes not currently authorized by TTB regulations. In Notice No. 
164, TTB invited comments on the proposed regulatory changes and the 
wine treatments and materials issues addressed in that document. The 
60-day comment period for Notice No. 164 originally closed on January 
23, 2017. In Notice No. 164A, published in the Federal Register on 
October 11, 2017 (82 FR 47167), TTB reopened the comment period for 
Notice No. 164 for an additional 90 days in response to industry member 
requests.
    On October 24, 2017, TTB received a letter via the Regulations.gov 
Web site posting for Notice No. 164 from the Wine Institute, a large 
wine industry trade association based in San Francisco, California, 
requesting a 90-day extension of the comment period on the wine 
treating materials regulatory amendments proposed in Notice No. 164. In 
its letter, the Wine Institute stated that its members required 
additional time to consider the ``complex and far reaching'' proposals 
contained in Notice No. 164, as well as the document's request for 
input on other regulatory issues. The Wine Institute stated that TTB 
reopened the comment period for Notice No. 164 during the recent 
Northern California wildfires, which caused many of its members to 
experience calamitous personal and business losses. The Wine Institute 
also noted that TTB's proposal is open for comment during the holiday 
season, when many stakeholders will be unavailable due to commercial 
and family commitments. The Wine Institute's letter is posted as 
Comment 13 to Notice No. 164 within Docket No. TTB-2016-0010 on the 
Regulations.gov Web site at https://www.regulations.gov).
    In response to this request, TTB is extending the comment period 
for Notice No. 164 for an additional 90 days. Therefore, comments on 
Notice No. 164 are now due on or before April 9, 2018. Comments on 
Notice No. 164 may be submitted as described above in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document.
