National Alcohol Beverage Control Association

It is the mission of NABCA to provide programs and information relative to the benefits and preservation of the alcohol beverage control systems as each jurisdiction pursues their own unique strategies.

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 divided the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) into two new agencies, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which moved to the Department of Justice, and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), which remained in the Department of Treasury.

As ATF did before it, TTB will collect Federal alcohol and tobacco excise taxes and investigate applications and issue permits for the operation of distilleries, wineries and breweries. Protecting the consumer will remain a major function under TTB through the regulation of the production, packaging, bottling, labeling and storage of alcohol and tobacco products. TTB will also ensure fair trade practices by regulating the marketing and promotional practices of alcohol beverage producers and wholesalers.
