Title: Troubled Assets Relief Program
(TARP) Capital Purchase Program (CPP)

Description: Authorized under the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
(EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–343), the
Department of the Treasury has
implemented several aspects of the
Troubled Asset Relief Program. Among
these components is a voluntary Capital

the Department may purchase
qualifying capital in U.S. banking

whether these capital injections are
having the desired effect of ensuring
liquidity within the banking system and
thereby increasing lending activity. The
Treasury will be conducting evaluations
using quarterly Call Report data
supplied by these financial institutions
to their primary regulator. However, in
order to have a more frequent and
timely snapshot of the current lending
environment, Treasury is requesting the

protection responsibilities, TTB requires
label disclosure statements on all
alcoholic beverage products released
from U.S. bottling premises or customs
custody that contain 10 parts per
million or more of sulfites. Sulfating
agents have been shown to produce
allergic-type responses in humans,
particularly asthmatics, and the
presence of these ingredients in alcohol
beverages may have serious health
implications for those who are
intolerant of sulfites. Disclosure of
sulfites on labels of alcohol beverages
will minimize their exposure to these
ingredients.
