SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background on Viticultural Areas
TTB Authority
Section 105(e) of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act),
27 U.S.C. 205(e), authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe
regulations for the labeling of wine, distilled spirits, and malt
beverages. The FAA Act provides that these regulations should, among
other things, prohibit consumer deception and the use of misleading
statements on labels and ensure that labels provide the consumer with
adequate information as to the identity and quality of the product. The
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) administers the FAA Act
pursuant to section 1111(d) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002,
codified at 6 U.S.C. 531(d). In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury
has delegated certain administrative and
[[Page 57658]]
enforcement authorities to TTB through Treasury Order 120-01.
Part 4 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR part 4) authorizes TTB to
establish definitive viticultural areas and regulate the use of their
names as appellations of origin on wine labels and in wine
advertisements. Part 9 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR part 9) sets
forth standards for the preparation and submission of petitions for the
establishment or modification of American viticultural areas (AVAs) and
lists the approved AVAs.
Definition
Section 4.25(e)(1)(i) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(1)(i))
defines a viticultural area for American wine as a delimited grape-
growing region having distinguishing features as described in part 9 of
the regulations and, once approved, a name and a delineated boundary
codified in part 9 of the regulations. These designations allow
vintners and consumers to attribute a given quality, reputation, or
other characteristic of a wine made from grapes grown in an area to the
wine's geographic origin. The establishment of AVAs allows vintners to
describe more accurately the origin of their wines to consumers and
helps consumers to identify wines they may purchase. Establishment of
an AVA is neither an approval nor an endorsement by TTB of the wine
produced in that area.
Requirements
Section 4.25(e)(2) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(2))
outlines the procedure for proposing an AVA and allows any interested
party to petition TTB to establish a grape-growing region as an AVA.
Section 9.12 of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 9.12) prescribes standards
for petitions to establish or modify AVAs. Petitions to establish an
AVA must include the following:
<bullet> Evidence that the area within the proposed AVA boundary is
nationally or locally known by the AVA name specified in the petition;
<bullet> An explanation of the basis for defining the boundary of
the proposed AVA;
<bullet> A narrative description of the features of the proposed
AVA affecting viticulture, such as climate, geology, soils, physical
features, and elevation, that make the proposed AVA distinctive and
distinguish it from adjacent areas outside the proposed AVA;
<bullet> The appropriate United States Geological Survey (USGS)
map(s) showing the location of the proposed AVA, with the boundary of
the proposed AVA clearly drawn thereon; and
<bullet> A detailed narrative description of the proposed AVA
boundary based on USGS map markings.
Yucaipa Valley Petition
TTB received a petition from the Yucaipa Valley Wine Alliance,
proposing the establishment of the ``Yucaipa Valley'' AVA. The proposed
Yucaipa Valley AVA is located in San Bernardino County, California. The
proposed AVA contains 36,467 acres, with approximately 23 vineyards and
2 wineries. Grape varietals grown within the proposed AVA include
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Malbec, Nebbiolo,
Barbera, and Petite Sirah.
According to the petition, the distinguishing features of the
proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA include its elevation and climate. Although
the petition also included information about the soils of the proposed
AVA, TTB has not included soils in the discussion of distinguishing
features. The petition states that areas to the west, northwest, south,
southeast and east have soils similar to those of the proposed AVA, and
the petition does not include an adequate comparison of soils in the
proposed AVA with soils in areas to the north, northeast, and
southwest. Unless otherwise noted, all information and data pertaining
to the proposed AVA contained in this document are from the petition
for the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA and its supporting exhibits.
Name Evidence
The petition notes that, although the town of Yucaipa is located
within the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA, the region was known as the
``Yucaipa Valley'' long before the town's incorporation in 1989. As
evidence of the long-term use of the name, the petition included a copy
of an advertisement from 1910 announcing prime agricultural land for
sale in the region of the proposed AVA. The advertisement claims,
``There is no better apple country than the Yucaipa Valley.'' \1\ The
petition also included a 1920 article titled ``Yucaipa Valley Scores as
Apple Producer.'' \2\ A 1925 article about the Yucaipa Apple Festival
notes that President William Taft thanked the festival organizers for a
box of ``Yucaipa Valley'' apples they sent to him.\3\ By the 1950s, the
region was promoting itself to visitors with a billboard proclaiming
``Welcome to Yucaipa Valley.'' \4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The petition included information regarding the current use of the
name ``Yucaipa Valley'' to describe the region of the proposed AVA. For
example, sports organizations and facilities serving the region include
the Yucaipa Valley Golf Club, Yucaipa Valley Youth Soccer Organization,
and the Yucaipa Valley National League and Yucaipa Valley American
League divisions of Little League Baseball. Organizations within the
region include the Yucaipa Valley Historical Society, Yucaipa Valley
Lions Club, Yucaipa Valley Amateur Radio Club, and the Yucaipa Valley
Spanish Church. Other businesses include the Yucaipa Valley Center
shopping center, Yucaipa Valley Optometry, and the Yucaipa Valley
Manufactured Home Community.
Boundary Evidence
The proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA is a region of rolling hills in the
foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. The petition states that the
boundaries of the region known historically as the Yucaipa Valley are
clearly delineated by the Yucaipa Valley Historical Society to mean the
boundaries of Yucaipa, Oak Glen, and Calimesa.\5\ The proposed AVA
includes the incorporated municipalities of Yucaipa and Calimesa and
unincorporated areas of Oak Glen, as well as surrounding county areas
with natural borders. The proposed northern boundary follows a series
of section lines on the USGS maps, as well as elevation contours, to
separate the proposed AVA from the steeper slopes of the Yucaipa Ridge
mountain range. The proposed eastern boundary largely follows Little
San Gorgonio Creek to separate the proposed AVA from regions that
traditionally have not been associated with the region known as the
``Yucaipa Valley.'' The southern boundary follows a series of roads to
separate the proposed AVA from the towns of Cherry Valley and Beaumont,
while the proposed western boundary generally follows land tract
boundaries.

Distinguishing Features
The distinguishing features of the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA
include its elevation and climate.
[[Page 57659]]
Elevation
Elevations within the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA range from 2,000
to 4,600 feet. According to the petition, the high elevations affect
viticulture. At high elevations, sunlight becomes more concentrated. As
a result, grapes receive a ``tan,'' which results in thicker skin than
the same varietals grown at lower elevations would have. The petition
states that thick skins contribute to the color and tannin levels of
the resulting wine and protect developing grapes from the dramatic
climate shifts that can occur in high altitude vineyards.
To the immediate north and northeast of the proposed AVA is the
mountain range known as the Yucaipa Ridge, which has steep slopes that
generate elevations up to 2,000 feet higher than the northern boundary
of the proposed AVA at each point. The region east of the proposed AVA
has elevations similar to those within the proposed AVA. However, the
petition states that the region to the east is not included in the
proposed AVA because it is largely uninhabited and undeveloped, has few
roads, and does not have historical ties to the region known as the
Yucaipa Valley. Furthermore, according to the USGS maps included in the
petition, the region to the east of the proposed AVA is largely covered
by the San Bernardino National Forest, which is not available for
commercial viticulture due to its status as a National Forest. Cherry
Valley and Beaumont to the south and southeast have elevations similar
to those in the lower portions of the proposed AVA. To the south and
southwest of the proposed AVA, in San Timoteo Canyon, elevations are
lower, ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 feet. To the west of the proposed
AVA is the Redlands Valley, which also has lower elevations ranging
from 1,100 to 2,000 feet.
Climate
According to the petition, the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA has a
hot, dry climate suitable for growing grape varietals such as Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Malbec, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and
Petite Sirah. The petition included information on the average monthly
high, average monthly low, monthly record high, and monthly record low
temperatures from the city of Yucaipa, as well as from the region to
the west and the region to the north-northeast of the proposed AVA.
Within the city of Yucaipa, the average high temperature is 78.3
degrees Fahrenheit (F), and the average low temperature is 48.7 degrees
F. August is typically the warmest month, with an average high of 97
degrees F, and December is typically the coolest month, with an average
minimum temperature of 40 degrees F. The record high temperature in the
city of Yucaipa is 114 degrees F, while the record low temperature is
11 degrees F.
The city of Redlands, to the west of the proposed AVA, has slightly
higher average high and low temperatures than the proposed AVA. The
average high temperature is 79.6 degrees F, and the average low
temperature is 50.5 degrees F. August is typically the warmest month in
Redlands, with an average high of 96 degrees F, and December is
typically the coolest month, with an average minimum temperature of 40
degrees F. The record high temperature in Redlands is 118 degrees F,
and the record low temperature is 18 degrees F.
To the north and northeast of the proposed AVA, the community of
Forest Falls is typically cooler than the proposed AVA. The average
high temperature is 61.5 degrees F, and the average low temperature is
40.9 degrees F. August is typically the warmest month, with an average
high of 81 degrees F. The record high temperature is 106 degrees F, and
the record low temperature is 5 degrees F.
The petition also included information about precipitation amounts
within the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA and the surrounding regions. The
city of Yucaipa receives an average cumulative rainfall of 4.14 inches
during the growing season of April through October. The average
precipitation amount for the city of Yucaipa during the winter months,
November through March, is substantially greater, 15.35 inches, with an
average of 1 inch being snow. Accumulations of snow accrue at higher
elevations within the proposed AVA. According to the petition, the
amount of snowfall and winter precipitation within the proposed AVA
affects viticulture, even though the vines are dormant. First, the snow
helps ensure continued vine dormancy and provides a ``necessary rest''
from continual growth. The precipitation also creates hydric reserves
that are beneficial during the hot, dry summer months. Finally, the
snow protects vines against fungi and pests that hide within the bark
when temperatures become colder.
To the west of the proposed AVA, the town of Redlands receives an
average of 10.86 inches of winter precipitation. To the south of the
proposed AVA, the city of Beaumont receives an average winter
precipitation amount very similar to that of the proposed AVA. However,
the petition states that because of the lower elevations, temperatures
in Beaumont and Redlands seldom drop low enough for the precipitation
to fall as snow. Although the region to the east of the proposed AVA
has a winter climate similar to that of the proposed AVA, that region
is outside of what has historically been called the Yucaipa Valley and
is thus not included in the proposed AVA.
Summary of Distinguishing Features
In summary, the elevation and climate of the proposed Yucaipa
Valley AVA distinguish it from the surrounding regions. The following
table shows the characteristics of the proposed AVA compared to the
features of the surrounding regions.

TTB Determination
TTB concludes that the petition to establish the proposed Yucaipa
Valley AVA merits consideration and public comment, as invited in this
notice of proposed rulemaking.
Boundary Description
See the narrative description of the boundary of the petitioned-for
AVA in the proposed regulatory text published at the end of this
proposed rule.
Maps
The petitioner provided the required maps, and TTB lists them below
in the proposed regulatory text. You may also view the proposed Yucaipa
Valley AVA boundary on the AVA Map Explorer on the TTB website, at
<a href="https://www.ttb.gov/wine/ava-map-explorer">https://www.ttb.gov/wine/ava-map-explorer</a>.
Impact on Current Wine Labels
Part 4 of the TTB regulations prohibits any label reference on a
wine that indicates or implies an origin other than the wine's true
place of origin. For a wine to be labeled with an AVA name, at least 85
percent of the wine must be derived from grapes grown within the area
represented by that name, and the wine must meet the other conditions
listed in Sec. 4.25(e)(3) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.25(e)(3)).
If the wine is not eligible for labeling with an AVA name and that name
appears in the brand name, then the label is not in compliance and the
bottler must change the brand name and obtain approval of a new label.
Similarly, if the AVA name appears in another reference on the label in
a misleading manner, the bottler would have to obtain approval of a new
label. Different rules apply if a wine has a brand name containing an
AVA name that was used as a brand name on a label approved before July
7, 1986. See Sec. 4.39(i)(2) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR
4.39(i)(2)) for details.
If TTB establishes this proposed AVA, its name, ``Yucaipa Valley,''
will be recognized as a name of viticultural significance under Sec.
4.39(i)(3) of the TTB regulations (27 CFR 4.39(i)(3)). The text of the
proposed regulation clarifies this point. Consequently, wine bottlers
using the name ``Yucaipa Valley'' in a brand name, including a
trademark, or in another label reference as to the origin of the wine,
would have to ensure that the product is eligible to use the AVA name
as an appellation of origin if TTB adopts this proposed rule as a final
rule.
Public Participation
Comments Invited
TTB invites comments from interested members of the public on
whether it should establish the proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA. TTB is
also interested in receiving comments on the sufficiency and accuracy
of required information submitted in support of the petition. Please
provide specific information in support of your comments.
Because of the potential impact of the establishment of the
proposed Yucaipa Valley AVA on wine labels that include the term
``Yucaipa Valley'' as discussed above under Impact on Current Wine
Labels, TTB is particularly interested in comments regarding whether
there will be a conflict between the proposed AVA name and currently
used brand names. If a commenter believes that a conflict will arise,
the comment should describe the nature of that conflict, including any
anticipated negative economic impact that approval of the proposed AVA
will have on an existing viticultural enterprise. TTB is also
interested in receiving suggestions for ways to avoid conflicts, for
example, by adopting a modified or different name for the proposed AVA.
Submitting Comments
You may submit comments on this proposal as an individual or on
behalf of a business or other organization via the <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>
website or via postal mail, as described in the ADDRESSES section of

telephone at 202-453-2265, if you have any questions about commenting
on this proposal or to request copies of this document, the related
petition and its supporting materials, or any comments received.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
TTB certifies that this proposed regulation, if adopted, would not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The proposed regulation imposes no new reporting,
recordkeeping, or other administrative requirement. Any benefit derived
from the use of a viticultural area name would be the result of a
proprietor's efforts and consumer acceptance of wines from that area.
Therefore, no regulatory flexibility analysis is required.
Executive Order 12866
It has been determined that this proposed rule is not a significant
regulatory action as defined by
[[Page 57661]]
Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993. Therefore, no regulatory
assessment is required.
