27 C.F.R. § 19.73 Emergency variations from requirements.
Title 27 - Alcohol, Tobacco Products and Firearms
The appropriate TTB officer may approve construction, equipment, and methods of operation other than as specified in this part, where he finds that an emergency exists and the proposed variations from the specified requirements are necessary, and the proposed variations— (a) Will afford the security and protection to the revenue intended by the prescribed specifications; (b) Will not hinder the effective administration of this part; and (c) Will not be contrary to any provisions of law. Variations from requirements granted under this paragraph are conditioned on compliance with the procedures, conditions, and limitations with respect thereto set forth in the approval of the application. Failure to comply in good faith with such procedures, conditions, and limitations shall automatically terminate the authority for such variations and the proprietor thereupon shall fully comply with the prescribed requirements of regulations from which the variations were authorized. Authority for any variation may be withdrawn whenever in the judgement of the appropriate TTB officer the revenue is jeopardized or the effective administration of this part is hindered by the continuation of such variation. Where the proprietor desires to employ such variation, he shall submit a written application to do so to the appropriate TTB officer. The application shall describe the proposed variations and set forth the reasons therefor. Variations shall not be employed until the application has been approved. (Sec. 201, Pub. L. 85–859, 72 Stat. 1353, as amended, 1395, as amended (26 U.S.C. 5178, 5552))
