Ttb cola

How long does it take the TTB to review your COLA application once it has been received. I submitted on January 27, 2014 and have not heard back. When I check the status, the COLA website says "received." The last time I submitted COLAs was 3-4 years ago and I seem to recall it being fairly quick and painless. I realize there are a lot more breweries now and that the TTB may still be backlogged from the government shutdown.

thanks,

Oh the good old days. Used to take about 5 days for either COLA or Formulation. Now it seems a minimum of 4-6 weeks is the norm. The growth in the industry has had a big impact on the TTB, and unfortunately it doesn't seem they are adapting very quickly.
