18F worked with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) to modernize their applications for processing formula and label submissions from all beverage and non-beverage alcohol producers. The goal was to reduce approval times and give users clearer guidance.

The project was expected to continue into the fall. However, after three months of stakeholder interviews, the work was halted before the team could finalize their recommendations. TTB now faces the choice of abandoning the project or hiring a vendor to restart the discovery process.
