TTB Public Registry for Alcohol Beverage Label Approvals

The dataset provides access to the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau's public registry for Certificates of Label Approval (COLAs). It contains records for approved, expired, surrendered, or revoked labels for alcohol beverages. The data is maintained by the Department of the Treasury and was last updated in February 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze label approval statuses (approved, expired, surrendered, revoked) to track regulatory compliance for alcohol products.
• Identify trends in label submissions and approvals using TTB ID numbers as unique record identifiers.
• Cross-reference label information with other regulatory datasets using the standardized TTB F 5100 31 form data.

Strengths

• Data is sourced directly from the authoritative U.S. Department of the Treasury.
• Records are updated regularly, with a last update timestamp of February 12, 2025.
• Covers multiple status categories for labels, including approved, expired, surrendered, and revoked.

Limitations

• The core data structure (rows, columns, sample data) is unknown, limiting analytical readiness.
• Data is only accessible via a web interface (HTML), complicating bulk download and programmatic analysis.
• Specific temporal and geographic coverage of the records is not documented.
