Do You Know the History of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act?

May 5, 2025│Office of Communications

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Federal Alcohol Administration (FAA) Act—but have you ever wondered why it was enacted? Do you know who TTB considers to be an “industry member” or a “trade buyer”? Or what the “penultimate clause” is? Our FAA Act History and Background video answers these questions and more!

Produced as the introductory video in our Trade Practices video series, this short video lays the foundation for understanding how TTB’s regulatory requirements support the goals of the FAA Act.

For more insight into TTB and the federal alcohol laws and regulations we enforce, check out our other videos at TTB's official YouTube channel at USTTBgov.
