SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Event
Director for the New Bern Mumfest,
with approval from the North Carolina
Department of Transportation, owner of
the drawbridge, has requested a
temporary deviation from the current
operating regulations set out in 33 CFR
117.843(a) to accommodate safe passage
for pedestrians and vehicles during
Mumfest.
The US 70/Alfred C. Cunningham
Bridge across the Trent River, mile 0.0,

Bern, NC, has a vertical clearance in the

closed position of 14 feet, above mean
high water. Under the normal operating
schedule, the US 70/Alfred C.
Cunningham Bridge would open on
signal during this timeframe. However,
under this temporary deviation, the
drawbridge will only be allowed to open
every two hours, on the hour, starting at
9 a.m. and continuing until 7 p.m. on
Saturday, October 11, 2014; and from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., on Sunday, October 12,
2014 to accommodate the New Bern
Mumfest.
Vessels able to pass under the closed
span may do so. Mariners are advised to
proceed with caution. There are no
alternate routes for vessels and the
bridge will be able to open in the event
of an emergency. The Coast Guard will
also inform the users of the waterways
through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners of the change in
operating schedule for the bridge so that
vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Revised Proposal
On January 3, 2014, the Postal Service
published a revised notice of proposed
rulemaking (79 FR 375–6) to align with
current costs the assessments for
processing postage refunds that have
been in effect since 2003. The Postal
Service proposed to update the hourly
factor used in refund assessments from
$35.00 an hour to $50.00 an hour.
Additionally, the threshold for assessing
postage refunds at the hourly factor
would be updated from postage
amounts exceeding $350.00 to postage
amounts exceeding $500.00. The current
10% assessment used below the
threshold would remain unchanged.
The Postal Service also proposed to
add language to the DMM to provide
customers with information on refund
time periods for extra service fees to
align with the revised claims filing
periods (made effective January 26,
2014) to promote timely adjudication.
The Postal Service proposed including
instructions in the DMM that refund
requests for Registered MailTM, Certified
Mail®, Signature ConfirmationTM, USPS
TrackingTM, Adult Signature services,
and insurance fees must be made by the
mailer no sooner than 10 days, or more
than 60 days, from the date the service
was purchased.
Additionally, if these proposed
changes were adopted, PS Form 3533,
Application for Refund of Fees,
Products and Withdrawal of Customer
Accounts, would be revised to reflect
the changes. The proposed rule
included a 30-day comment period.
After a review of the comments and
further analysis, the Postal Service is
adopting this final rule as originally
proposed with the exception of the
proposed change regarding the refund of
insurance fees, which has been
removed.
II. Comments and Responses
The Postal Service received two
formal responses to the revised
proposed rule of January 3, 2014, one
from a mailer and from a PC Postage
provider.
The mailer requested that the Postal
Service not eliminate the 10%
assessment for postage refunds. The
10% will not change, but the threshold
at which the 10% assessment changes to
an hourly rate, and the hourly rate itself,
will both be increased.
The comment from the PC Postage
provider referenced certain refund and
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
appeal assessments which were outside
the scope of this rulemaking. The PC
Postage provider expressed opposition
to the current standards that provide for
hourly charges when validating refunds
to higher volume (postage refunds for)
postage meter users. This commenter
stated that these are not the same
standards used for PC Postage appeals
(when the end-users is denied a postage
refund by the PC Postage provider). The
commenter continued that processes
used to validate refunds from PC
Postage appeals should be equivalent to
that used for postage meter refunds.
This commenter also suggested that the
Postal Service relax or eliminate
assessments for processing postage
refunds and appeals when customers
make mistakes in printing postage
indicia (and the Postal Service is not at
fault). Although these comments fall
outside of the scope of this rulemaking,
the Postal Service provides the
following clarifications:
• The refund assessment amounts in
this proposed rule would not revise the
current standards for providing PC
postage refunds or appeals to adverse
rulings by a PC Postage provider. The
Postal Service does not make any
assessment for postage refunds
submitted electronically by PC Postage
end-users to their provider within the
established filing period(s). This
includes postage refunds for unused,
dated PC Postage indicia with a package
identification code (PIC) made within
30-days from the date of printing and for
unused, undated PC Postage without a
PIC when made within 60 days from the
date of printing.
• The Postal Service expanded the
refund period (under DMM 604.9) for
items with a package identification code
from 10 days to 30 days in a final rule,
published June 26, 2013, and effective
July 28 (78 FR 38203–19), This effort
served to provide customers additional
time to reconcile their shipping records
and to help reduce the amount of
requests for appeals being received
beyond the current 10 day refund filing
period.
• Based on current records,
approximately 75% of PC Postage
appeals are submitted to USPS® outside
of the established criteria. As a
reminder, only the PC Postage end-user
should submit their appeal to an
adverse provider ruling on their refund
request, made within the 30-day period
for items associated to a package
identification code, and 60-day period
for items not associated to a package
identification code. Further, postage
refund requests made by the end-user
during the established periods are
submitted to the provider and not
