From Congress members Jan Schakowsky, Rosa L. DeLauro, and Shri Thanedar: "We are writing this letter to show our support for the Treasury Department’s initiative to improve transparency in alcoholic beverage labeling through three regulations (Proposed rules RIN 11513-AC93 and RIN 11513-AC94, and Prerule RIN 11513-AC95) and to urge the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to prioritize reviewing these three rules and release them before the end of this presidential term. 'Empowering all consumers to make and have access to healthy choices' is a key pillar of the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, and publishing these rules will be an important part of the administration’s legacy."
