Johannisberg Riesling; Deferral of Compliance Date (98R-406P)

This final rule temporarily extends the applicability date with respect to the use of the term Johannisberg Riesling set forth in Sec. 4.92(b) in T.D. ATF-370. The reason ATF is deferring this date is to allow for the sufficient review and evaluation of comments and any additional information received as a result of a notice of proposed rulemaking, Notice Number 871, proposing to extend the phase-out for the term Johannisberg Riesling as a designation for American wines for an additional seven years.
