SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal

Barcode Quality (BQ).
SUMMARY:
Background
On February 27, 2018, the Postal
Service published a proposed rule,
Federal Register Notice (83 FR 8399)
Proposed Changes to Validations for
IMpb to announce its proposal to add
new IMpb compliance validations for
Barcode Quality (BQ), Address Quality
(AQ), and (Shipping Services File)
Manifest Quality (MQ) metrics. The
proposed rule also reflected IMpb
threshold increases for Barcode Quality
and (Shipping Services File) Manifest
Quality. In addition, the Postal Service
provided notice to work in partnership
E:\FR\FM\11DER1.SGM
11DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 11, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
with the mailing industry to determine
the percentage increase for Address
Quality threshold.
On September 21, 2018, the Postal
Service published a final rule, Federal
Register Notice (83 FR 47839) Changes
to Validations for IMpb to amend
mailing standards, to add new IMpb
compliance quality validations and
thresholds for Address Quality, Barcode
Quality, and (Shipping Services File)
Manifest Quality.
Additional time was needed to
discuss the validation requirements for
Address Quality before increasing the
AQ threshold. The Postal Service and
mailing industry have agreed on 90% as
the new AQ threshold. The new AQ
threshold is effective January 31, 2019,
and the assessment of the IMpb
Noncompliance Fee pursuant to this
new AQ threshold will begin on
February 1, 2019. Additionally, the
Address Quality (AQ) validation ‘‘valid
primary street number’’ will be removed
from the measurement.
The Postal Service adopts the
following changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
Administrative practice and
procedure, Postal Service.
Accordingly, 39 CFR part 111 is

2.1.8
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the removal
of outdated rules in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) for the State of
Oregon because they are duplicative or
obsolete. Removal of such material from
the air program subparts is designed to
improve cost effectiveness and usability
of the CFR. The EPA is also approving
non-substantive revisions to reflect
updated citations and correcting a
typographical error. This final action
makes no substantive changes to the
Oregon State Implementation Plan and
imposes no new requirements.
DATES: This action is effective on
January 10, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R10–OAR–2018–0022. All
documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, wherever
‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, it is
intended to refer to the EPA.
I. Background
This action is being taken pursuant to
Executive Order 13563—Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review. It is
intended to reduce the number of pages
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) by identifying those rules in 40
CFR part 52, subpart MM, for the State
of Oregon that are duplicative or
obsolete. This action removes historical
information and rules that no longer
have any use or legal effect because they
have been superseded by subsequently
approved state implementation plan
(SIP) revisions or they are no longer
necessary because the EPA previously
promulgated administrative rule actions
to replace these sections with summary
tables in 40 CFR 52.1970 (78 FR 74012,
December 10, 2013). On October 10,
2010, the EPA proposed to approve
these changes and received no
comments on our proposed rulemaking
(83 FR 50867).
II. Final Action
This final action is a ‘‘housekeeping’’
exercise that removes duplicative or
obsolete CFR provisions and corrects a
non-substantive typographical error.
The EPA is approving the removal of 40
CFR 52.1973, 40 CFR 52.1974
paragraphs (b) and (c), 40 CFR 52.1977,
and 40 CFR 52.1982; and approving the
amendment to 40 CFR 52.1974(a). The
EPA is removing the duplicative or
obsolete rules because they have been
revised or superseded by subsequently
approved SIP revisions. These actions
make no substantive changes to the SIP.
The changes will be accurately reflected
in 40 CFR part 52, subpart MM for the
State of Oregon.
