15.2.14 Form 8125—Segregation and
Nonpostal Documentation
PS Forms 8125 must be segregated
from all other nonpostal documentation
and presented separately to USPS
personnel at the time of induction.
Nonpostal proof-of-delivery documents
such as delivery receipts or bills of
lading presented by a mailer’s
transportation provider [carrier] are not
substitutes for PS Forms 8125. USPS
personnel may, upon request, sign such
documents when presented by carriers.
A PS Form 8125 signed by a postal
employee (or electronic equivalent file
in the Electronic Verification System
(eVS)) serves as the sole evidence of the
transfer of the custody of pieces entered
as a mailing at the time of induction.
The Postal Service does not consider a
proof-of-delivery document such as a

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The EPA is determining that
the Providence (All of Rhode Island)
moderate 8-hour ozone nonattainment
area has attained the 1997 8-hour
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) for ozone. This determination
is based upon complete, quality-assured
and certified ambient air monitoring
data that show the area has monitored
attainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS
for the 2006–2008 monitoring period. In
addition, quality-assured and certified
ozone data for 2009, show that this area
continues to attain the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. This determination
results in the suspension of the
requirements for Rhode Island to submit
an attainment demonstration, a
reasonable further progress plan,
contingency measures, and other
planning State Implementation Plans for
this area related to attainment of the 8hour ozone NAAQS. These
requirements shall remain suspended
for so long as the area continues to
attain the ozone NAAQS.
DATES: Effective Date: This rule is
effective on July 6, 2010.
