A Special agency now called the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) within the U.S. Treasury Department was empowered to regulate the alcohoHc beverage industries. Although less adversarial, but strictly enforced even today (ca 1997), the regulations and their appHcation remain voluminous and detailed. They specify not only label compliance and matters relating to taxation that are of direct interest to consumers, but contain all the details of permitted processes for and additions to wines. 

Compositional aspects that are regulated include a label statement within 1.5% for table wine (for dessert wines, 1.0%) of the wine s alcohol content. Eor tax identity reasons, alcohol of 7—14% is required for table wines and 17—21% for dessert and appetizer wines. Eederal excise tax rates are 0.28/L for table wines, 0.41/L for wines 14—21% alcohol, and 0.83/L for those (rare) >21-24%. Coolers made with wine become taxable at 0.5% and are taxed as table wine above 7% alcohol. Sparkling wine is taxed at 0.90/L and carbonated at 0.87/L. The borderline to incur these taxes is CO2 above 3.92 g/L. 

Polyacrylamide powders are typically shipped in moisture-resistant bags or fiber packs. Emulsion and solution polymers are sold in dmms, tote bins, tank tmcks, and tank cars. The transportation of dry and solution products is not regulated in the United States by the Department of Transportation, but emulsions require a DOT NA 1693 label. 

Acrylonitrile is transported by rail car, barge, and pipeline. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations require labeling acrylonitrile as a flammable Hquid and poison. Transport is regulated under DOT 49 CFR 172.101. Bill of lading description is Acrylonitrile, Flammable Liquid, Poison B, UN 1093 RQ. ... 

Caustic soda is classified as a corrosive material by the DOT and DOT regulations and specifications must be followed for handling, labeling, and transportation in containers. Warning labels are recommended for containers of caustic soda solutions and anhydrous caustic soda by the MCA (79). The DOT identification number is UN1824 for 50 or 73% Hquid, and UN1823 for anhydrous caustic. 

Cla.ssifica.tlon, In commerce, several classifications of flavoring and compounded flavorings are Hsted according to composition to allow the user to conform to state and federal food regulations and labeling requirements, as well as to show their proper appHcation. Both suppHer and purchaser are subject to the control of the FDA, USD A, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF). The latter regulates the alcohoHc content of flavors and the tax drawbacks on alcohol, ie, return of a portion of the tax paid on ethyl alcohol used in flavoring. 

Isolate. A relatively pure chemical produced from natural raw materials by physical means, eg, distillation, extraction, crystallization, etc, and therefore natural or by chemical means, ie, via hydrolysis, bisulfite addition products, and regeneration, etc, and therefore artificial by 1993 U.S. labeling regulations. 

In the United States, additional ramifications maybe expected from FDA s announcement of final regulations for new food labeling requirements under the directive of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (2). Among other things, these regulations limit health claims that can be made on food labels. They also require new information on nutrient content, and limit the use of descriptors such as low and free in association with calories, fat levels, and other food product characteristics. 

Vehicle manufacturers must build cars and tmcks that operate well on available fuels. They also specify the fuel requirements of their vehicles. Euel marketers must produce fuels that operate in both new and old vehicles. The consumer, the purchaser of the fuel and the vehicle, wants the fuel to be affordable, readily available, and able to provide a high level of performance. Regulators check that fuels are labeled properly and meaninghilly and that no unwarranted claims are made. They also regulate emissions from vehicles as well as the fuels used. 

Hair products are normally cosmetics and are thus subject to aU. laws and regulations that control the labeling and claims of aU. cosmetic products. There are, however, several significant variations to this premise, ie, hair colorants, professional use only products, and products that make dmg claims. 

Lead acetate can be used only for coloring scalp hair at a level not to exceed 0.6%, as lead, weight/volume of the product. The regulations provide specific restrictions (including label specifications) that lead acetate must not be used to color mustaches, eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair on parts of the body other than the scalp. 

Labeling Regulations. The Food, Dmg and Cosmetics Act requires that the cosmetic product be safe under conditions of use and that labeling is not false or misleading. Under this Act, the labeling of a cosmetic product must contain the name and address of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor the net contents and any appropriate warnings. This information must appear on the label of the product, both inner and outer containers. 

Labeling compliance with these regulations is complex, and further labeling information is available (67,68). 

Shipment of hydrazine solutions is regulated in the United States by the Department of Transportation (DOT) which classifies all aqueous solutions between 64.4 and 37% N2H4 as "Corrosive" materials with a subsidiary risk of "Poison". Hydrazine has been identified by both the Environmental Protection Agency and the DOT as a hazardous material and has been assigned a reportable quantity (RQ) of 0.450 kg (1 lb) if spilled. Dmms for the shipment of these solutions must bear both the DOT specification "Corrosive" and "Poison" labels in association with the markings "RQ Hydrazine Aqueous Solution UN 2030." Aqueous solutions of 37% concentration or less are a hazard Class 6.1, UN 3293, Packing Group III and require "Keep Away From Food" placards and labels. 

The ICC classifies hydrogen as a flammable gas and requires that it carry a red label. Data on storage is available (203). The production and Handling of flammable gases andHquefied flammable gases is regulated by OSHA (204). 

Concentrations over 8 wt % are classified as corrosive Hquids by the Department of Transportation (DOT). The Bureau of Explosives regulation (132) classifies all solutions containing 20 wt % and greater as oxidizers and corrosives. The product containers must have identifying labels (dmms) or placards (tank cars, tank trailers) indicating that the contents are an oxidizer and corrosive material, UN 2014 or UN 2015. Bills of lading must also be so identified. Tank cars and tank trailers are constmcted from high purity aluminum or 300 series stainless steel. 

Occupational Safety and Health J ct. OSHA regulations deal principally with physical aspects of safety and those things generally associated with accident prevention. These federal regulations deal especially with the need for estabHshed material safety data sheets and the proper labeling of printing inks under the Hazard Communication Laws.
