The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) enforces the provisions of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (FAA Act) to ensure that only qualified persons engage in the alcohol beverage industry; enforces the laws regulating alcohol production, importation, and wholesale businesses; regulates tobacco manufacturing and importing businesses; and regulates alcohol labeling and advertising. TTB was formerly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (1972-2003), which split into TTB and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in the Department of Justice in 2003. ATF was created in 1972 and its functions were formerly handled by the Internal Revenue Service (1940-1972) and the Federal Alcohol Administration (1935-1940).
