New COLA form available
October 9th, 2006
By Rachel Dumas Rey- President, Compli Beverage Industry Compliance
TTB published a new Certificate of Label Approval or Exemption (COLA) form in June of this year and is now requiring that all applicants use this new form. According to Customer Service Staff at the TTB Labeling and Formulation Division in Washington, D.C, they will reject all applications submitted on the old form that were received after October 1. If you have submitted applications this or last week on the old form, you should go ahead and resubmit them on the correct form. TTB staff admitted that they will not catch and reject all those submitted on the old form because the forms are nearly identical so if you have time to wait it out you may still get approval.
The new form can be downloaded at http://ttb.gov/forms/f510031.pdf
