energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this final rule
under Commandant Instruction
M16475.1D, which guides the Coast
Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. It has been determined
that this final rule does not significantly
impact the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today,
customers can submit a temporary
forwarding request for their First-Class
Mail and Periodicals mail. Customers
also can have their mail held at the Post
Office for short periods of time.
Premium Forwarding Service (PFS) is a
two-year, nationwide experiment that
reships all of a customer’s mail on a
weekly basis.
PFS is a personalized service
designed for sending mail from a
customer’s primary residential address
to a temporary address using Priority
Mail. With PFS, the Postal Service boxes
and ships mail to customers who are
away for at least two weeks and up to
one year.
Express Mail and Priority Mail
packages that are too large to fit inside
the weekly PFS package are
immediately and separately rerouted at
no additional charge. Package Services
parcels that are too large to fit inside the
PFS package are forwarded with postage
due. All mail requiring a delivery scan
or a signature also is separately
rerouted. Examples include Certified
Mail, Registered Mail, and mail with
Delivery Confirmation.
PFS generally provides a shipment of
a customer’s mail every Wednesday
from their primary address to their
temporary address by Priority Mail.
There is an initial enrollment fee of $10,
plus a weekly per-shipment charge of
$10.
Customers who wish to participate
must submit an application to the Post
Office responsible for delivery to their
primary address and pay the enrollment
fee and shipment charges for the full
duration they will be away. The
minimum enrollment is two weeks, and
the maximum is one year.
Customers who wish to cancel PFS
early may request a refund for any
unused weekly shipment charges from
the Post Office serving their primary
address. Additionally, customers can
contact that Post Office prior to the
termination date to extend PFS service
(up to one year total) as needed.
The Board of Governors of the United
States Postal Service approved the PFS
experiment on May 10, 2005. The

temporary address mainly by means of
a weekly Priority Mail shipment. PFS is
available for a period of not less than 2
weeks and not more than 1 year. This
optional service is in addition to the
current piece-by-piece forwarding
service currently offered by USPS,
whereby only certain mailpieces are
forwarded.

Participation in PFS is subject to the
following standards:

ACTION: Notice of final action on
reconsideration.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On October 27, 2003, and
December 24, 2003, the EPA revised
regulations governing the major New
Source Review (NSR) programs
mandated by parts C and D of title I of
the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). The
rule changes from October 27, 2003,
provide a category of equipment
replacement activities that are deemed
to be routine maintenance, repair and
replacement (RMRR) activities and,
therefore, are not subject to Major NSR
requirements under the exclusion, while
the December 24, 2003 rule changes
amended the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) provisions of state
programs that did not have approved
state rules for PSD. Also on December
24, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit stayed
the new RMRR rules, pending judicial
review. Following these actions, the
Administrator received petitions for
reconsideration. On July 1, 2004, we,
the EPA, announced our reconsideration
of certain issues arising from these two
final rules and requested comment on
those issues. After carefully considering
all of the comments and information
received through our reconsideration
process, we have concluded that no
additional changes are necessary to the
final rules. With respect to all other

Premium Forwarding Service

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule sets forth the standards adopted by the Postal
ServiceTM to implement the Premium Forwarding Service (PFS)
experiment.
The Postal Service is conducting the PFS experiment to measure
interest in a new service that forwards mail to residential customers
who are temporarily away from their primary address. With PFS, your
local Post Office will ship mail to your temporary address once a week
via Priority Mail[reg].
DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective at 12:01 a.m. on
August 7, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Klutts, 202-268-7268.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today, customers can submit a temporary
forwarding request for their First-Class Mail and Periodicals mail.
Customers also can have their mail held at the Post Office for short
periods of time. Premium Forwarding Service (PFS) is a two-year,
nationwide experiment that reships all of a customer's mail on a weekly
basis.
PFS is a personalized service designed for sending mail from a
customer's primary residential address to a temporary address using
Priority Mail. With PFS, the Postal Service boxes and ships mail to
customers who are away for at least two weeks and up to one year.
Express Mail and Priority Mail packages that are too large to fit
inside the weekly PFS package are immediately and separately rerouted
at no additional charge. Package Services parcels that are too large to
fit inside the PFS package are forwarded with postage due. All mail
requiring a delivery scan or a signature also is separately rerouted.
Examples include Certified Mail, Registered Mail, and mail with
Delivery Confirmation.
PFS generally provides a shipment of a customer's mail every
Wednesday from their primary address to their temporary address by
Priority Mail. There is an initial enrollment fee of $10, plus a weekly
per-shipment charge of $10.
Customers who wish to participate must submit an application to the
Post Office responsible for delivery to their primary address and pay
the enrollment fee and shipment charges for the full duration they will
be away. The minimum enrollment is two weeks, and the maximum is one
year.
Customers who wish to cancel PFS early may request a refund for any
unused weekly shipment charges from the Post Office serving their
primary address. Additionally, customers can contact that Post Office
prior to the termination date to extend PFS service (up to one year
total) as needed.
The Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service approved
the PFS experiment on May 10, 2005. The standards, which will be
incorporated into Mailing Standards of the United
[[Page 33837]]

addressed to their primary address reshipped or rerouted to a temporary
address mainly by means of a weekly Priority Mail shipment. PFS is
available for a period of not less than 2 weeks and not more than 1

Participation in PFS is subject to the following standards:
a. PFS is available to residential delivery customers and all size-
one or size-two post office box customers.
b. A customer must submit a completed PFS application, Form 8176,

requested service must accompany the application form.
c. Customers must designate on the application form whether the
order is for an ``individual'' or an ``entire household.''
