competitive products represented 5.54
percent of total institutional costs.3 The
contribution from competitive products
to the recovery of the Postal Service’s
institutional costs was 6.78 percent in
FY 2009 and 7.12 percent in FY 2010.4
In FY 2009 and FY 2010, institutional
costs were reduced compared with
previous years, due in part to the
congressionally mandated reductions of
the required annual contribution to the
Retirement Health Benefits Fund. The
Postal Service also has increasingly
exercised its flexibility to transfer mail
volume from market dominant products
to competitive products. See 39 U.S.C.
3642.
On December 29, 2011, the Postal
Service filed its 2011 Annual
Compliance Report with the
Commission. That report indicates that
in FY 2011 competitive products
collectively contributed 7.84 percent of
the Postal Service’s institutional costs.5
II. Invitation To Comment
The Commission invites comments to
facilitate its examination of the
appropriateness of the current
contribution level. To inform its
deliberations, the Commission requests
comments from interested members of
the public on whether and how changes
in competitive market conditions, the
allocation of costs to competitive
products, the number and volume of
competitive products, or any other
changes should impact the minimum
appropriate share of institutional costs
of the Postal Service that should be
provided by competitive products. As
required by the statute, the Commission
in making its determination must
consider all relevant circumstances,
including the prevailing competitive
conditions in the market, and the degree
to which any costs are uniquely or
disproportionately associated with any
competitive products. Comments also
are welcome on any issues relevant to
the reasonableness of the current 5.5
percent contribution requirement and
retaining, modifying, or eliminating it.
Comments are due March 5, 2012.
Reply comments may be submitted on
or before April 2, 2012.

The EPA is announcing the
extension of the public comment period
for the EPA’s responses to state and
tribal ozone designation
recommendations for the 2008 Ozone
National Ambient Air Quality
Standards. The EPA sent the responses
directly to the states and tribes on or
about December 9, 2011. On December
20, 2011 (76 FR 78872, FRL–9608–6),
the EPA published a notice in the
Federal Register that the EPA had
posted the responses on its Internet Web
site and the EPA invited public
comment. In the notice, the EPA stated
that public comments must be received
on or before January 19, 2012. The EPA
has received several requests from
stakeholders for additional time to
prepare their comments. Some of the
requesters noted that the original 30-day
comment period fell across two federal
holidays. Taking that into consideration,
the EPA is extending the comment
period until February 3, 2012. The EPA
intends to make final designation
determinations for the 2008 ozone
standards in spring 2012.
DATES: Comments must be received on

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00022
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
2679
I. Background
The Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS)
subpart 204.70, Uniform Procurement
Instrument Identification Numbers,
prescribes numbering procedures for
contract modifications and the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 43.1,
General, prescribes rules for
determining the effective date. There are
no rules to describe in what order to
apply modifications to determine the
actual content of a resulting modified
contract. In order to determine the
sequence of modifications to a contract
or order, a method for determining the
order of application for modifications is
needed to resolve any conflict arising
from multiple modifications with the
same effective date. As such, this rule
proposes to add DFARS text at
204.7007, Order of Application for
Modifications, to resolve any potential
inconsistency.
II. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and
13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, distributive impacts, and
equity). E.O. 13563 emphasizes the
importance of quantifying both costs
and benefits, of reducing costs, of
harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This is not a significant
regulatory action and, therefore, was not
subject to review under section 6(b) of
E.O. 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, dated September 30, 1993. This
rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C.
804.
III. Regulatory Flexibility Act
DoD does not expect this proposed
rule to have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities within the meaning of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601,
et seq., because this rule only affects the
internal operating processes of DoD by
clarifying an order of application for
contract modifications, and it does not
have an economic impact on
contractors. However, an initial
regulatory flexibility analysis has been
performed and is summarized as
follows:
The objective for this case is to
provide a set of rules to the contracting
officer to resolve any potential conflict
from multiple modifications with the
same effective date. The changes
