Greetings! This week’s top news includes an announcement about the alcohol beverage industry survey we’re launching next week to gather your feedback on potential improvements to our services, an OMB request for comments on reforming federal regulatory enforcement and adjudication, and a recent guilty plea in a contraband cigarette case.

UPCOMING SURVEY ON POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS TO TTB'S SERVICES

As we formulate our plan for which projects to undertake in the coming years, we want to hear from industry members in the alcohol beverage community.  We’re launching a survey next week to gather feedback about which ideas would most increase your satisfaction with TTB services and help us focus our work.  The survey will be hosted by SurveyMonkey® and we’ll transmit the link via email, on our website, and in our newsletter next week.

We look forward to hearing from you!
