Download as PDF 55192 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 173 / Friday, September 4, 2020 / Rules and Regulations Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency’s responsiveness to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:43 Sep 03, 2020 Jkt 250001 we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023–01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a safety zone lasting 3 hours that will prohibit entry within 25 feet of the participating vessels with limited maneuverability. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L(60)a of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01, Rev. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination will be made available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. G. Protest Activities The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters. Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or security of people, places or vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 10, 2020, the Postal Service published its proposed rule to 
revise its discretionary Semipostal Stamp Program regulations to 
provide more

[[Page 55193]]

flexibility to manage the program (85 FR 35404). The Postal Service 
received 63 comment letters from the public, associations, and members 
of Congress. All commenters were in favor of the revisions. Most noted 
that the revisions would permit resumption of sales of the Alzheimer's 
semipostal stamp.

Summary of Changes

    The regulations in effect before this final rule, promulgated April 
20, 2016, limited sales of discretionary semipostal stamps to one at a 
time and a two-year sales period, and contemplated five semipostal 
stamp offerings over the 10-year term of the Semipostal Stamp program. 
This proved impracticable. Further, the Postal Service encountered 
continued interest in the sale of a previously offered discretionary 
semipostal stamp for which the Postal Service possesses unsold 
inventory.
    The final rule eliminates the one at a time limitation and the two-
year sales period limitation, and provides more flexibility to the 
Postal Service. The immediate effect of this final rule is to permit 
resumption of sales of the Alzheimer's semipostal stamp.
