conditions an accident could result in a
release of plutonium dioxide from the
Multi-Mission Radioisotope
Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG).
The MMRTG is a critical component of
the Mars 2020 rover; it would enable the
Mars 2020 rover mission to undertake a
much broader scope of scientific
discovery by providing a continuous
supply of electrical power and
temperature control to the Mars 2020
rover while on the surface of Mars. The
Mars 2020 spacecraft would launch
onboard an Atlas V launch vehicle from
the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
(CCAFS), Brevard County, Florida,
during the summer of 2020. Additional
information about the mission may be
found on the internet at: https://
mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/.
DATES: A Notice of Availability (NOA)
will be published in the Federal
Register once NASA has completed
drafting the SEIS. The NOA will provide
a 45-day public comment period.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
George Tahu by electronic mail at
mars2020-nepa@lists.nasa.gov or by
telephone at 202–358–0016.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NASA’s
proposed Mars 2020 mission would use
the proven design and technology
developed for the Mars Science
Laboratory mission and rover (Curiosity)
that launched from CCAFS in November
2011 and arrived at Mars in August
2012. NASA would select a high
priority, scientifically important landing
site based upon data from past and
current missions. The rover would be
equipped with new scientific
instrumentation that would: (a)
Characterize the geological processes
and history of an astrobiologically
relevant ancient environment on Mars;
(b) within the selected geological
environment, assess the past habitability
of the landing region and search for
evidence of past life; (c) assemble a
scientifically selected, welldocumented, cache of samples for
potential future return to the Earth; (d)
further the preparation for future human
exploration of Mars; and (e) demonstrate
improved technical capabilities for
landing and operating on the surface of
Mars to benefit future Mars missions.
On September 11, 2013, NASA issued
a Notice of Intent to prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Mars 2020 mission. It was
anticipated that the electrical, thermal,
and operational requirements of the
rover would require a radioisotope
power source (MMRTG) using
plutonium-238. This single MMRTG
would provide adequate power to
operate the rover, similar to the Mars
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Curiosity rover. Some of the waste heat
from the MMRTG would be used for
temperature control of the rover
electronics, science instruments, and
other sensitive components.
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
addressed in that EIS included: (1) The
use of alternative sources of on-board
power and heat (including solar energy);
and (2) the No Action Alternative. The
Mars 2020 EIS also addressed the
purpose and need for the proposed Mars
2020 mission and the environmental
impacts associated with its
implementation. The environmental
impacts of the mission associated with
the normal launch of the mission were
addressed, as were the potential
consequences of accident situations.
NASA issued the Mars 2020 Final EIS
in November 2014, and on January 27,
2015, NASA issued its Record of
Decision (ROD). The ROD adopted
Alternative 1 as the preferred
alternative. Alternative 1 required
NASA to complete preparations for and
implement the proposed Mars 2020
mission during July—August 2020, or
during the next available launch
opportunity in August through
September 2022, and to operate the
mission using a MMRTG that would
continually provide heat and electrical
power to the rover’s battery. Since 2015,
NASA has significantly advanced
preparations for the Mars 2020 mission
and selected the Atlas V as the launch
vehicle. The Mars 2020 Final EIS
discussed Incomplete and Unavailable
Information which would be addressed
in the future through more detailed risk
analyses conducted as part of NASA’s
and the Department of Energy’s (DOE)
ongoing radiological safety review
programs. These analyses were
completed in 2019 and accounted for
the chosen launch vehicle (that was
selected on August 25, 2016, after the
Mars 2020 Record of Decision on
January 27, 2015), up to date safety test
information, and updated analytical
models.
NASA policy for implementation of
NEPA is found in NASA Procedural
Requirements 8580.1A (NPR). The NPR
requires preparation of a supplemental
NEPA document when a substantial
change in information relevant to
environmental concerns that bear on the
impacts of the proposed action is
discovered. Since NASA issued the
2014 Final EIS and 2015 ROD, updated
results from DOE conducted risk and
consequence modeling have become
available for NASA’s consideration.
NASA has determined that the purposes

of NEPA will be furthered by
preparation and issuance of an SEIS.

IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On September 20, 2019, the Postal
Service filed a notice of classification
change pursuant to Commission rule 39
CFR 3020.90.1 The Postal Service seeks
to clarify that it may alter the age
requirements for Adult Signature
Services pursuant to a Negotiated
Service Agreement (NSA). Notice at 1.
The changes are intended to take effect
on October 7, 2019. Id.
II. Summary of Changes
The Postal Service proposes an
addition to the Mail Classification
Schedule explicitly stating that it may
change the age requirements for Adult
Signature Services pursuant to a NSA.
Id. The current Adult Signature Service
requires the signature of a person 21 or
older at the recipient’s address for Adult
Signature Required delivery and the
signature of the addressee 21 years of
age or older for Adult Signature
Restricted delivery. Id. Attachment 1.
The Postal Service maintains that the
proposed change satisfies the
requirements of 39 CFR 3020.90 because
it does not alter the age restrictions of
Adult Signature Services, but simply
facilitates verifying ages other than 21
pursuant to an NSA. Notice at 1. The
change will not affect the existing prices
or cost coverage for the Adult Signature
Services product. Id.
