ACTION: Final rule; correction.
States and with a sufficient legal basis
for preemption. The Memorandum
directs executive departments and
agencies to ‘‘review regulations issued
within the past 10 years that contain
statements in regulatory preambles or
codified provisions intended by the
department or agency to preempt State
law, in order to decide whether such
statements or provisions are justified
under applicable legal principles
governing preemption.’’ In addition, the
memorandum states that ‘‘where the
head of a department or agency
determines that a regulatory statement
of preemption or codified regulatory
provision cannot be so justified, the
head of that department or agency
should initiate appropriate action,
which may include amendment of the
relevant regulation.’’
Section 506(b) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), concerning ‘‘Effect on State Laws,’’
specifically addresses preemption of
state law as follows:
SUMMARY: This rule informs the mining
community that MSHA rescinds the
Agency’s intent stated in the preamble
to the final rule on Refuge Alternatives
for Underground Coal Mines,
concerning preemption of private tort
litigation with respect to the Agency’s
approval of specifications for a refuge
alternative.
The provisions of any State law or
regulation in effect upon the operative date
of this Act, or which may become effective
thereafter, which provide for more stringent
health and safety standards applicable to coal
or other mines than do the provisions of this
Act or any order issued or any mandatory
health or safety standard shall not thereby be
construed or held to be in conflict with this
Act. 30 U.S.C. 955.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 31, 2008, MSHA published a
final rule on Refuge Alternatives for
Underground Coal Mines. (73 FR
80656). The preamble includes a
discussion on preemption, and states
that ‘‘it is MSHA’s intent that its
approval of specifications for a refuge
alternative preempts private tort
litigation questioning the propriety of
those specifications.’’ (73 FR 80658).
On May 20, 2009, the President issued
a Memorandum for the Heads of
Executive Departments and Agencies on
Preemption. The purpose of the
Memorandum is to state the general
policy of the Administration that
preemption of State law by executive
departments and agencies should be
undertaken only with full consideration
of the legitimate prerogatives of the

Jkt 220001
In addition, the House Report to the
Mine Act, states that ‘‘Federal law
would supersede any State law in
conflict with it,’’ but that ‘‘State laws
providing more stringent standards than
exist under the Federal law, however,
would not be held in conflict with the
[Mine] act.’’ H. Rep. No. 95–312, 95th
Cong., 1st Sess., at 55 (1977).
In accordance with the Presidential
Memorandum on Preemption, MSHA
has reviewed the Agency’s standards
and regulations issued within the past
10 years. MSHA’s review found that a
statement in the preamble to the Refuge
Alternatives final rule is the only rule
issued in the past 10 years to contain a
preemption statement.
MSHA has determined that the Mine
Act does not show any basis, or
Congressional intent, for inferring any
attempt to preempt state tort law
regarding MSHA’s approval
specifications for refuge alternatives. As
stated earlier, the Mine Act provides, for
example, that State laws or regulations
that provide more stringent
requirements than those imposed under
the Mine Act, are not construed or held
to be in conflict with the Mine Act.
MSHA’s determination to rescind the
preemption statement in the preamble
to the Refuge Alternatives rule is
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

consistent with the intent of the Mine
Act and is consistent with the
Presidential Memorandum. The
preemption statement in the preamble
was, at best, interpretive guidance
purporting to interpret statutory
language in the Mine Act, which was
included in the preamble of the final
rule without seeking prior public
comment. It did not create any new law
or substantive rule, but simply stated
what the agency thought the statute
meant. Further, this interpretation was
published only recently, making it
unlikely that any member of MSHA’s
regulated community has relied to their
detriment on the interpretation. Under
these circumstances, notice and
comment also are not required in
withdrawing this interpretation. See
Warshauer v. Solis, 577 F.3d 1330 (11th
Cir. 2009); MetWest, Inc. v. Sec’y of
Labor, 560 F.3d 506, 509–511 (DC Cir.
2009).
Accordingly, MSHA rescinds the last
paragraph of the section-by-section
discussion of ‘‘Section 7.501 Purpose
and Scope,’’ starting on line 51 of the
center column and ending on line 24 of
the third column, 73 FR 80658, for the
reason that this statement is not justified
under the Mine Act principles
governing preemption, and there was no
intent by Congress, under the Mine Act,
to supersede state action in this regard.
Dated: November 19, 2009.

V. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new
product identified as Priority Mail
Contract 20 to the Competitive Product
List. For the reasons discussed below,
the Commission approves the Request.
wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES
II. Background
On October 14, 2009, the Postal
Service filed a formal request pursuant
to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30
et seq. to add Priority Mail Contract 20
to the Competitive Product List.1 The
Postal Service asserts that the Priority
Mail Contract 20 product is a
competitive product ‘‘not of general
applicability’’ within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This Request has been
assigned Docket No. MC2010–2.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a contract
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. The contract has been
assigned Docket No. CP2010–2.
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following materials: (1)
A redacted version of the Governors’
Decision, originally filed in Docket No.
MC2009–25, authorizing the Priority
Mail Contract Group; 2 (2) a redacted
version of the contract; 3 (3) a requested
change in the Mail Classification
Schedule product list; 4 (4) a Statement
of Supporting Justification as required
by 39 CFR 3020.32; 5 (5) a certification
of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); 6
and (6) an application for non-public
treatment of the materials filed under
seal.7 The redacted version of the
contract provides that the contract is
terminable on 30 days’ notice by either
party, but could continue for 3 years
from the effective date subject to annual
price adjustments. Request, Attachment
B.

Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,

Acting Manager, Sales and
Communications, Expedited Shipping,
asserts that the service to be provided
under the contract will cover its
attributable costs, make a positive
contribution to coverage of institutional
costs, and will increase contribution
toward the requisite 5.5 percent of the
Postal Service’s total institutional costs.
Request, Attachment D, at 1. W. Ashley
Lyons, Manager, Regulatory Reporting
and Cost Analysis, Finance Department,
certifies that the contract complies with
39 U.S.C. 3633(a). Id., Attachment E.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
supporting data and the unredacted
contract, under seal. The Postal Service
maintains that the contract and related
financial information, including the
customer’s name and the accompanying
analyses that provide prices, certain
terms and conditions, and financial
projections, should remain confidential.
Id., Attachment F, at 2–3.8
In Order No. 315, the Commission
gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and
provided the public with an opportunity
to comment.9
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public
Representative.10 No comments were
submitted by other interested parties.
The Public Representative states that the
Postal Service’s filing meets the
pertinent provisions of title 39 and the
relevant Commission rules. Id. at 1, 3.
He further states that the agreement
employs pricing terms favorable to the
customer, the Postal Service, and
thereby, the public. Id. at 3–4. The
Public Representative also believes that
the Postal Service has provided
appropriate justification for maintaining
confidentiality in this case. Id. at 3.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the
Request, the contract, the financial
analysis provided under seal that
8 In its application for non-public treatment, the
Postal Service requests an indefinite extension of
non-public treatment of customer-identifying
information. Id. at 7. For the reasons discussed in
PRC Order No. 323, that request is denied. See
Docket No. MC2010–1 and CP2010–1, Order
Concerning Priority Mail Contract 19 Negotiated
Service Agreement, October 26, 2009.

Statutory requirements. The
Commission’s statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Priority
Mail Contract 20 to either the Market
Dominant Product List or to the
Competitive Product List. 39 U.S.C.
3642. As part of this responsibility, the
Commission also reviews the proposal
for compliance with the Postal
Accountability and Enhancement Act
(PAEA) requirements. This includes, for
proposed competitive products, a
review of the provisions applicable to
rates for competitive products. 39 U.S.C.
3633.
Product list assignment. In
determining whether to assign Priority
Mail Contract 20 as a product to the
Market Dominant Product List or the
Competitive Product List, the
Commission must consider whether
the Postal Service exercises sufficient market
power that it can effectively set the price of
such product substantially above costs, raise
prices significantly, decrease quality, or
decrease output, without risk of losing a
significant level of business to other firms
offering similar products.
39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If so, the product
will be categorized as market dominant.
The competitive category of products
consists of all other products.
The Commission is further required to
consider the availability and nature of
enterprises in the private sector engaged
in the delivery of the product, the views
of those who use the product, and the
likely impact on small business
concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3).
The Postal Service asserts that its
bargaining position is constrained by
the existence of other shippers who can
provide similar services, thus
precluding it from taking unilateral
action to increase prices without the
risk of losing volume to private
companies. Request, Attachment D,
para. (d). The Postal Service also
contends that it may not decrease
quality or output without risking the
loss of business to competitors that offer
similar expedited delivery services. Id.
It further states that the contract partner
supports the addition of the contract to
the Competitive Product List to
effectuate the negotiated contractual
terms. Id., para. (g). Finally, the Postal
Service states that the market for
expedited delivery services is highly
competitive and requires a substantial
infrastructure to support a national
network. It indicates that large carriers
serve this market. Accordingly, the
Postal Service states that it is unaware
of any small business concerns that
could offer comparable service for this
customer. Id., para. (h).

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 25, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
No commenter opposes the proposed
classification of Priority Mail Contract
20 as competitive. Having considered
the statutory requirements and the
support offered by the Postal Service,
the Commission finds that Priority Mail
Contract 20 is appropriately classified as
a competitive product and should be
added to the Competitive Product List.
Cost considerations. The Postal
Service presents a financial analysis
showing that Priority Mail Contract 20
results in cost savings while ensuring
that the contract covers its attributable
costs, does not result in subsidization of
competitive products by market
dominant products, and increases
contribution from competitive products.
Based on the data submitted, the
Commission finds that Priority Mail
Contract 20 should cover its attributable
costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not
lead to the subsidization of competitive
products by market dominant products
(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have
a positive effect on competitive
products’ contribution to institutional
costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an
initial review of proposed Priority Mail
Contract 20 indicates that it comports
with the provisions applicable to rates
for competitive products.
Other considerations. The Postal
Service shall notify the Commission if
termination occurs prior to the
scheduled termination date. Following
the scheduled termination date of the
agreement, the Commission will remove
the product from the Competitive
Product List.
In conclusion, the Commission
approves Priority Mail Contract 20 as a
new product. The revision to the
Competitive Product List is shown
below the signature of this order and is
effective upon issuance of this order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. EPA’s Action
II. Background

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. EPA’s Action
EPA is taking final action to approve
a revision to Tennessee’s SIP, submitted
by Tennessee on July 13, 2009, as
clarified herein, that is modifying the
application of certain provisions of the
CAIR FIP concerning NOX ozone season
emissions. (As discussed in the notice of
proposed rulemaking for this
submission, this less comprehensive
CAIR SIP is termed an abbreviated SIP.)
Tennessee is subject to the CAIR FIPs
that implement the CAIR requirements
by requiring certain energy generating
units (EGUs) to participate in the EPA
administered CAIR cap-and-trade
programs addressing SO2, NOX annual,
and NOX ozone season emissions. This
SIP revision provides a methodology for
allocating NOX allowances for the NOX
ozone season trading program for NOX
SIP Call trading sources that are not
EGUs as defined by CAIR, but are
subject to the CAIR NOX ozone season
trading program. The CAIR FIPs provide
that this methodology will be used to
allocate NOX Ozone Season allowances
to sources in Tennessee. Consistent with
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
61535
the flexibility provided in the FIPs,
these provisions will also be used to
replace or supplement, as appropriate,
the corresponding provisions in the
CAIR FIP for Tennessee. EPA is also
approving technical corrections to the
CAIR NOX Ozone Season Trading
Program opt-in provisions, as noted in
the August 20, 2007, approval. Since
EPA will no longer administer the NOX
Budget Trading Program, Tennessee has
chosen to terminate its Budget Trading
program rules (TAPCR Rule 1200–03–
27–.06). EPA is, therefore, approving
provisions which terminate the State’s
NOX Budget Trading Program because
those requirements are now addressed
by the CAIR NOX Ozone Season FIP, as
modified by the State’s abbreviated SIP.
Finally, EPA is not making any changes
to the CAIR FIP, but is amending the
appropriate appendices to note EPA’s
approval of Tennessee’s SIP revision.
II. Background
On February 11, 2009, Tennessee
adopted a revision to its CAIR NOX
Ozone Season Trading Program, and on
July 13, 2009, submitted a request to
EPA for approval of these revisions into
the SIP. That request was revised on
September 21, 2009, and supplemented
by a letter to EPA dated September 24,
2009, clarifying portions of the
submittal.
The CAIR FIPs established budgets for
Tennessee as 50,973 (2009–2014) and
42,478 (2015–thereafter) tons for NOX
annual emissions, 22,842 (2009–2014)
and 19,035 (2015-thereafter) tons for
NOX ozone season emissions and
137,216 (2010–2014) and 96,051 (2015thereafter) tons for SO2 emissions. In
Tennessee’s SIP revision, submitted on
July 13, 2009, Tennessee has chosen to
include all NOX SIP Call trading sources
that are not EGUs under CAIR in the
CAIR NOX ozone season trading
program. As a result of this SIP revision,
the CAIR NOX ozone season budget will
be increased annually by 5,666 tons to
account for such NOX SIP Call trading
sources. The total Tennessee CAIR NOX
ozone season budgets are therefore,
28,508 (2009–2014) and 24,701 (2015thereafter) tons. EPA is approving
Tennessee State trading budgets under
TAPCR 1200–3–27–.11(2)(c).
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking to approve Tennessee’s
revisions to the CAIR SIP on October 14,
2009, (74 FR 52717). EPA did not
receive any comments during the public
comment period for the proposed
rulemaking.
EPA notes that, in North Carolina v.
EPA, 531 F.3d 836 (DC Cir. Jul.11, 2008)
at 916–21, the Court determined, among
other things, that the state SO2 and NOX

IV. Commission Analysis
V. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product identified as
Priority Mail Contract 20 to the Competitive Product List. For the
reasons discussed below, the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
On October 14, 2009, the Postal Service filed a formal request
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to add Priority
Mail Contract 20 to the Competitive Product List.\1\ The Postal Service
asserts that the Priority Mail Contract 20 product is a competitive
product ``not of general applicability'' within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2010-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Request of the United States Postal Service to Add Priority
Mail Contract 20 to Competitive Product List and Notice of Filing
(Under Seal) of Contract and Supporting Data, October 14, 2009
(Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Service contemporaneously filed a contract related to
the proposed new product pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR
3015.5. The contract has been assigned Docket No. CP2010-2.
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following
materials: (1) A redacted version of the Governors' Decision,
originally filed in Docket No. MC2009-25, authorizing the Priority Mail
Contract Group; \2\ (2) a redacted version of the contract; \3\ (3) a
requested change in the Mail Classification Schedule product list; \4\
(4) a Statement of Supporting Justification as required by 39 CFR
3020.32; \5\ (5) a certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a);
\6\ and (6) an application for non-public treatment of the materials
filed under seal.\7\ The redacted version of the contract provides that
the contract is terminable on 30 days' notice by either party, but
could continue for 3 years from the effective date subject to annual
price adjustments. Request, Attachment B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Attachment A to the Request, reflecting Governors' Decision
No. 09-6, April 27, 2009.
\3\ Attachment B to the Request.
\4\ Attachment C to the Request.
\5\ Attachment D to the Request.
\6\ Attachment E to the Request.
\7\ Attachment F to the Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Statement of Supporting Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,
Acting Manager, Sales and Communications, Expedited Shipping, asserts
that the service to be provided under the contract will cover its
attributable costs, make a positive contribution to coverage of
institutional costs, and will increase contribution toward the
requisite 5.5 percent of the Postal Service's total institutional
costs. Request, Attachment D, at 1. W. Ashley Lyons, Manager,
Regulatory Reporting and Cost Analysis, Finance Department, certifies
that the contract complies with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). Id., Attachment E.
The Postal Service filed much of the supporting materials,
including the supporting data and the unredacted contract, under seal.
The Postal Service maintains that the contract and related financial
information, including the customer's name and the accompanying
analyses that provide prices, certain terms and conditions, and
financial projections, should remain confidential. Id., Attachment F,
at 2-3.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In its application for non-public treatment, the Postal
Service requests an indefinite extension of non-public treatment of
customer-identifying information. Id. at 7. For the reasons
discussed in PRC Order No. 323, that request is denied. See Docket
No. MC2010-1 and CP2010-1, Order Concerning Priority Mail Contract
19 Negotiated Service Agreement, October 26, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Order No. 315, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an
opportunity to comment.\9\

\9\ PRC Order No. 315, Notice and Order Concerning Priority Mail
Contract 20 Negotiated Service Agreement, October 16, 2009 (Order
No. 315).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public Representative.\10\ No comments
were submitted by other interested parties. The Public Representative
states that the Postal Service's filing meets the pertinent provisions
of title 39 and the relevant Commission rules. Id. at 1, 3. He further
states that the agreement employs pricing terms favorable to the
customer, the Postal Service, and thereby, the public. Id. at 3-4. The
Public Representative also believes that the Postal Service has
provided appropriate justification for maintaining confidentiality in
this case. Id. at 3.

(Public Representative Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the Request, the contract, the
financial analysis provided under seal that accompanies it, and the
comments filed by the Public Representative.
Statutory requirements. The Commission's statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Priority Mail Contract 20 to either
the Market Dominant Product List or to the Competitive Product List. 39
U.S.C. 3642. As part of this responsibility, the Commission also
reviews the proposal for compliance with the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act (PAEA) requirements. This includes, for proposed
competitive products, a review of the provisions applicable to rates
for competitive products. 39 U.S.C. 3633.
Product list assignment. In determining whether to assign Priority
Mail Contract 20 as a product to the Market Dominant Product List or
the Competitive Product List, the Commission must consider whether
the Postal Service exercises sufficient market power that it can
effectively set the price of such product substantially above costs,
raise prices significantly, decrease quality, or decrease output,
without risk of losing a significant level of business to other
firms offering similar products.
39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If so, the product will be categorized as market
dominant. The competitive category of products consists of all other
products.
The Commission is further required to consider the availability and
nature of enterprises in the private sector engaged in the delivery of
the product, the views of those who use the product, and the likely
impact on small business concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3).
The Postal Service asserts that its bargaining position is
constrained by the existence of other shippers who can provide similar
services, thus precluding it from taking unilateral action to increase
prices without the risk of losing volume to private companies. Request,
Attachment D, para. (d). The Postal Service also contends that it may
not decrease quality or output without risking the loss of business to
competitors that offer similar expedited delivery services. Id. It
further states that the contract partner supports the addition of the
contract to the Competitive Product List to effectuate the negotiated
contractual terms. Id., para. (g). Finally, the Postal Service states
that the market for expedited delivery services is highly competitive
and requires a substantial infrastructure to support a national
network. It indicates that large carriers serve this market.
Accordingly, the Postal Service states that it is unaware of any small
business concerns that could offer comparable service for this
customer. Id., para. (h).
[[Page 61533]]
No commenter opposes the proposed classification of Priority Mail
Contract 20 as competitive. Having considered the statutory
requirements and the support offered by the Postal Service, the
Commission finds that Priority Mail Contract 20 is appropriately
classified as a competitive product and should be added to the
Competitive Product List.
Cost considerations. The Postal Service presents a financial
analysis showing that Priority Mail Contract 20 results in cost savings
while ensuring that the contract covers its attributable costs, does
not result in subsidization of competitive products by market dominant
products, and increases contribution from competitive products.
Based on the data submitted, the Commission finds that Priority
Mail Contract 20 should cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C.
3633(a)(2)), should not lead to the subsidization of competitive
products by market dominant products (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should
have a positive effect on competitive products' contribution to
institutional costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an initial review of
proposed Priority Mail Contract 20 indicates that it comports with the
provisions applicable to rates for competitive products.
Other considerations. The Postal Service shall notify the
Commission if termination occurs prior to the scheduled termination
date. Following the scheduled termination date of the agreement, the
Commission will remove the product from the Competitive Product List.
In conclusion, the Commission approves Priority Mail Contract 20 as
a new product. The revision to the Competitive Product List is shown
below the signature of this order and is effective upon issuance of
this order.
V. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. Priority Mail Contract 20 (MC2010-2 and CP2010-2) is added to
