AGENCY: ACTION: On October 17, 2018, the Postal Service published proposed product and price changes to reflect a notice of price adjustments filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The PRC found that price adjustments contained in the Postal Service’s notice could go into effect on January 27, 2019. The Postal Service has revised Notice 123, Price List to reflect the new prices and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:03 Feb 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect the product changes. DATES: Effective February 11, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paula Rabkin at 202–268–2537. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Proposed Rule and Response On October 10, 2018, the Postal Service filed a notice with the PRC in Docket No. R2019–1 of mailing services price adjustments, effective on January 27, 2019. On October 27, 2018, the USPS® published a notice of proposed product and price changes in the Federal Register entitled ‘‘International Mailing Services: Proposed Product and Price Changes—CPI’’ (83 FR 52351). The notice included price changes that the Postal Service would adopt for products and services covered by Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) and publish in Notice 123, Price List, on Postal Explorer® at https:// pe.usps.com. The Postal Service received no comments. By notice filed on October 10, 2018, in PRC Docket No. MC2019–4, the Postal Service proposed to update country names throughout mailing standards, changing Great Britain and Northern Ireland to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and changing Swaziland to Eswatini. In its proposed rule, the Postal Service also took notice that on October 10, 2018, we had filed a notice with the PRC in Docket No. MC2019–3. In that filing we proposed a change in the maximum weight limit for First-Class Mail International (FCMI) large envelopes (flats) to 15.994 ounces, in lieu of the current 64 ounce limit. This change would more closely align the Postal Service’s definition of FCMI large envelopes (flats) with the Universal Postal Union Convention’s definition, which allows a maximum weight of 500 grams (17.6 ounces) for flat-shaped letter post items. A mailpiece weighing 16 ounces or more that is presented as an FCMI large envelope (flat) would be charged the applicable First-Class Package International Service® price. Alternatively, the mailer could elect to use another class of mail such as Priority Mail Express International® or Priority Mail International®, if the mailpiece meets the requirements for those mail classes. II. Decision of the Postal Regulatory Commission As stated in the PRC’s Order No. 4875, issued on November 13, 2018, the PRC found that the prices in the Postal Service’s notice in Docket No. R2019–1 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 3107 may go into effect on January 27, 2019. The new prices are now posted in Notice 123, on Postal Explorer at https://pe.usps.com. The Postal Service published notice of the new prices in the article titled ‘‘International Mail: Changes to Pricing for International Mailing Services,’’ in Postal Bulletin 22509 (12–20–18), page 48, available at https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/ 2018/pb22509/pb22509.pdf. Also, as stated in the PRC’s Order No. 4918, the Commission approved the name changes for the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and Eswatini. These changes are also posted in the January 27, 2019, revision of the IMM on Postal Explorer at https:// pe.usps.com. The Postal Service published notice of both of these changes in the Postal Bulletin on December 20, 2018. See ‘‘IMM Revision: Great Britain and Northern Ireland Name Change,’’ Postal Bulletin 22509 (12–20–18), pages 17–19, available at https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/ 2018/pb22509/pb22509.pdf; see also ‘‘IMM Revision: Swaziland Name Change,’’ Postal Bulletin 22509 (12–20– 18), pages 20–21, available at https:// about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2018/ pb22509/pb22509.pdf. Because the proposed change to FCMI large envelopes (flats) upper weight limit that was the subject of Docket No. MC2019–3 was pending at the time the PRC was scheduled to complete its review in Docket No. R2019–1, the PRC issued an interim order in Docket No. R2019–1. That interim order required the Postal Service to revise its filing in the R2019–1 docket so that the Postal Service’s proposed changes in the R2019–1 docket would not include the proposed revision in the FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limitation. See PRC Order No. 4859, Interim Order Relating to Outbound Single-Piece First-Class Mail International Flats, Docket No. R2019–1, October 19, 2018. The PRC subsequently approved the updated weight limitation for FCMI large envelopes (flats) in Order No. 4932, issued December 19, 2018. The Postal Service will announce an implementation date for the revised FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limitation sometime after the January 27, 2019, price change.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the ‘‘Agency’’) is finalizing interim approval of revisions to the North Dakota operating permit program for stationary sources subject to title V of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the ‘‘Act’’) and recodification of the State’s title V program under a new title of the North Dakota Administrative Code (NDAC). The EPA is also approving North Dakota’s revision and recodification of North Dakota’s programs for implementing and enforcing delegated requirements under CAA sections 111 and 112, and for carrying out a State Acid Rain Program under sections 401–406 of the Act as a portion of the operating permits program. SUMMARY: This rule is effective on March 15, 2019. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA–R08–OAR–2018–0299.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. This action also informs the public that on December 17, 2018, the EPA authorized delegation to implement and enforce CAA section 111 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 1 and section 112 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), including Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) 2 requirements within the State, excluding Indian country, exactly as the requirements were promulgated by the EPA (i.e., ‘‘straight delegation’’). In authorizing the delegation of these authorities, the EPA’s letters also grant North Dakota eligibility for future ‘‘automatic delegation’’ of incorporated, unchanged federal requirements, without the need to request Agency approval, on a case-by-case basis. These approvals effect the transfer of North Dakota’s title V program administration, including administration of the state acid rain program, and delegated authority to implement and enforce CAA sections 111 and 112 requirements from the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDH) to the newly created North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ or the ‘‘Department’’). The EPA is finalizing these actions in accordance with sections 501–506, 111, 112, 401–416 of the Act. I. Background The background for this action is discussed in detail in our October 30, 2018 notice of proposed rulemaking (83 FR 54532).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 17, 2018, the Postal Service published proposed 
product and price changes to reflect a notice of price adjustments 
filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The PRC found that 
price adjustments contained in the Postal Service's notice could go 
into effect on January 27, 2019. The Postal Service has revised Notice 
123, Price List to reflect the new prices and Mailing Standards of the 
United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM[supreg]) 
to reflect the product changes.

DATES: Effective February 11, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paula Rabkin at 202-268-2537.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Proposed Rule and Response

    On October 10, 2018, the Postal Service filed a notice with the PRC 
in Docket No. R2019-1 of mailing services price adjustments, effective 
on January 27, 2019. On October 27, 2018, the USPS[supreg] published a 
notice of proposed product and price changes in the Federal Register 
entitled ``International Mailing Services: Proposed Product and Price 
Changes--CPI'' (83 FR 52351). The notice included price changes that 
the Postal Service would adopt for products and services covered by 
Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International 
Mail Manual (IMM[supreg]) and publish in Notice 123, Price List, on 
Postal Explorer[supreg] at https://pe.usps.com. The Postal Service 
received no comments.
    By notice filed on October 10, 2018, in PRC Docket No. MC2019-4, 
the Postal Service proposed to update country names throughout mailing 
standards, changing Great Britain and Northern Ireland to United 
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and changing Swaziland to 
Eswatini.
    In its proposed rule, the Postal Service also took notice that on 
October 10, 2018, we had filed a notice with the PRC in Docket No. 
MC2019-3. In that filing we proposed a change in the maximum weight 
limit for First-Class Mail International (FCMI) large envelopes (flats) 
to 15.994 ounces, in lieu of the current 64 ounce limit. This change 
would more closely align the Postal Service's definition of FCMI large 
envelopes (flats) with the Universal Postal Union Convention's 
definition, which allows a maximum weight of 500 grams (17.6 ounces) 
for flat-shaped letter post items. A mailpiece weighing 16 ounces or 
more that is presented as an FCMI large envelope (flat) would be 
charged the applicable First-Class Package International 
Service[supreg] price. Alternatively, the mailer could elect to use 
another class of mail such as Priority Mail Express 
International[supreg] or Priority Mail International[supreg], if the 
mailpiece meets the requirements for those mail classes.

II. Decision of the Postal Regulatory Commission

    As stated in the PRC's Order No. 4875, issued on November 13, 2018, 
the PRC found that the prices in the Postal Service's notice in Docket 
No. R2019-1 may go into effect on January 27, 2019. The new prices are 
now posted in Notice 123, on Postal Explorer at https://pe.usps.com. 
The Postal Service published notice of the new prices in the article 
titled ``International Mail: Changes to Pricing for International 
Mailing Services,'' in Postal Bulletin 22509 (12-20-18), page 48, 
available at https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2018/pb22509/pb22509.pdf.
    Also, as stated in the PRC's Order No. 4918, the Commission 
approved the name changes for the United Kingdom of Great Britain, 
Northern Ireland, and Eswatini. These changes are also posted in the 
January 27, 2019, revision of the IMM on Postal Explorer at https://pe.usps.com. The Postal Service published notice of both of these 
changes in the Postal Bulletin on December 20, 2018. See ``IMM 
Revision: Great Britain and Northern Ireland Name Change,'' Postal 
Bulletin 22509 (12-20-18), pages 17-19, available at https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2018/pb22509/pb22509.pdf; see also ``IMM 
Revision: Swaziland Name Change,'' Postal Bulletin 22509 (12-20-18), 
pages 20-21, available at https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2018/pb22509/pb22509.pdf.
    Because the proposed change to FCMI large envelopes (flats) upper 
weight limit that was the subject of Docket No. MC2019-3 was pending at 
the time the PRC was scheduled to complete its review in Docket No. 
R2019-1, the PRC issued an interim order in Docket No. R2019-1. That 
interim order required the Postal Service to revise its filing in the 
R2019-1 docket so that the Postal Service's proposed changes in the 
R2019-1 docket would not include the proposed revision in the FCMI 
large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limitation. See PRC Order No. 
4859, Interim Order Relating to Outbound Single-Piece First-Class Mail 
International Flats, Docket No. R2019-1, October 19, 2018. The PRC 
subsequently approved the updated weight limitation for FCMI large 
envelopes (flats) in Order No. 4932, issued December 19, 2018. The 
Postal Service will announce an implementation date for the revised 
FCMI large envelopes (flats) maximum weight limitation sometime after 
the January 27, 2019, price change.
