SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The City
of Racine, Wisconsin, who owns and
operates both drawbridges, has
requested a temporary deviation from
the current operating regulations set
forth in 33 CFR 117.1095 to facilitate
efficient management of all
transportation needs and provide timely
public safety services during these
special events. In accordance with 33
CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must
return to its regular operating schedule
immediately at the end of the
designated time periods. These
deviations from the operating
regulations are authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

as proposed. The Postal Service will
specifically identify these items using
the term ‘‘replica or inert explosive
devices’’ rather than the proposed
‘‘replica or inert munitions.’’ The Postal
Service is also implementing a revised
process for mailing such items via
Registered Mail service only rather than
prohibiting them from the mail
altogether.
In the past, postal operations have
been disrupted and facilities have been
evacuated when replica or inert
explosive devices have been discovered
in the mail. Such evacuations resulted
in unnecessary expense and loss of
productivity to the Postal Service and
have jeopardized USPS® service
commitments. We believe the
implementation of the DMM revisions
described in this final rule will
minimize the chances of operational
disruptions caused by replica or inert
explosive devices and at the same time
allow mailers to continue to use the
mail for shipping these items.
The Postal Service herby adopts the
following changes to the Mailing
Standards for the United States Postal
Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
which is incorporated by reference in
the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39
