39 CFR Part 111
Extra Services Refund Time Limit
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service is
amending Mailing Standards of the
United States Postal Service, Domestic
Mail Manual (DMM®) to revise the time
limit for extra service refunds.
DATES: Effective Date: April 5, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila Marano at (202) 268–4257,
Adaisja Johnson at (202) 268–6724, or
Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
14, 2020, the Postal Service published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (85 FR
28917–28918) to revise the time limit
for extra service refunds on all classes
of mail except Priority Mail Express®.
SUMMARY:
The Postal Service elected to issue a
second revised proposed rule on
January 7, 2021, (86 FR 1080–1081) that
included revising the timelines for
Priority Mail Express with an extra
service. One formal response was
received as follows:
Comment: The commenter requested
the time limit for extra service refunds
be revised on all classes of mail except
Priority Mail Express.
USPS Response: The Postal Services
believes this revision to extend the time
limits for filing a refund for all classes
of mail will provide consistency within
the refund policy.
Currently, DMM Exhibit 604.9.2.1,
Postage and Fees Refunds, provides that
for Priority Mail Express with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 30 days, and for
all other classes of mail with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 60 days, from the
date the service was purchased.
Certain extra services (e.g., Certified
Mail®) have workflow timelines that
extend beyond the current 10-day limit
to initially file for a refund. As a result,
to meet the required workflow timelines
for these extra services, and for
consistency in application of the refund
processes, the Postal Service is
extending the current Priority Mail
Express with an extra service timeline to
no sooner than 30 days, or no later than
60 days. For all other classes of mail
with an extra service, the 10-day time
limit will be extended to a 30-day time
limit before a customer can file for a
refund.
We believe this revision will provide
customers with a more efficient process
and a more consistent customer
experience.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. In our
October 6, 2020 proposal for this action
(85 FR 63066) we inadvertently referred
to the May 8, 2019 submittals as May
10, 2019 submittals. The cover letters to
these submittals are dated May 10, but
they were actually received by EPA on
the 8th.
I. Background
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving and
conditionally approving State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the State of Colorado on
May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May
8, 2019. The revisions are to Colorado
Air Quality Control Commission
(Commission or AQCC) Regulation
Number 7 (Reg. 7). The revisions to Reg.
7 address Colorado’s reasonably
available control technology (RACT) SIP
obligations for Moderate 2008 ozone
nonattainment areas; add incorporation
by reference dates to rules and reference
methods; and make typographical,
grammatical, and formatting corrections.
16:14 Feb 23, 2021
The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R08–OAR–2020–0114. All
documents in the docket are listed on
the https://www.regulations.gov website.
Although listed in the index, some

SUMMARY:
Also, in this action the EPA is correcting
a July 3, 2018 final rule pertaining to
Colorado’s SIP. In that action, we
inadvertently omitted regulatory text
corresponding to ‘‘incorporation by
reference’’ (IBR) materials for graphic
arts and printing revisions to Reg. 7,
Section XIII (adopted November 17,
2016). The EPA is taking this action
pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA).
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our October 6,
2020 proposal (85 FR 63066). In that
document we proposed to approve
various revisions to the Colorado SIP
that were submitted to the EPA on May
31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May 8,
2019. In particular, we proposed to
approve certain area source rules to
meet the 2008 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)
RACT requirements for Moderate
nonattainment areas that were not acted
on in our July 3, 2018 rulemaking
approving the State’s attainment
demonstration and various SIP

elements.1 We also proposed to approve
into the SIP the submitted revisions to
Colorado’s Reg. 7 that we have not
previously acted on, except for Sections
XII and XVIII (from the May 2018
submittal) and Sections XVI.D.4.b.(i)
and XVI.D.4.d. (from the two May 2019
submittals), which we will be acting on
at a later date (see Tables 4 and 5 of the
preamble to the proposed rule). Finally,
we proposed to approve IBR material
that was submitted in May 2017 but
inadvertently excluded from our July 3,
2018 action. The factual and legal
background for this action is discussed
in detail in our October 6, 2020
proposed approval. The proposal
provides a detailed description of the
revisions and the rationale for EPA’s
proposed actions. We did not receive
any comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving submitted
revisions to Sections I, II, III, V, VI, VII 2,
VIII, IX, X, XI, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII,
XIX and XX of Reg. 7 from the State’s
May 31, 2017, May 14, 2018 and May
8, 2019 submittals as shown in Table 1,
except for those revisions we are not
acting on as represented in Table 2. We
are approving Colorado’s determination
that the above rules constitute RACT for
the specific categories addressed in
Tables 3 and 4, except for the aerospace
category, which we are conditionally
approving. We are also finding that for
VOC RACT requirements at major nonCTG VOC sources, Colorado has RACTlevel controls in place for the DMNFR
Area under the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard. We are not finalizing our
RACT determination for major sources
of NOX in this document because there
are certain NOX source categories as to
which we have not yet determined that
the State has met RACT requirements.
We will be addressing those categories
and requirements in a future action 3 4.
1 See Final Rule, Approval and Promulgation of
State Implementation Plan Revisions; Colorado;
Attainment Demonstration for the 2008 8-Hour
Ozone Standard for the Denver Metro/North Front
Range Nonattainment Area, and Approval of
Related Revisions, 83 FR 31068, 31069–31072.
2 Our October 6 proposal incorrectly stated at one
point that one of the State’s May 8, 2019 SIP
submittals contained revisions to Reg. 7, Section
VII. See 85 FR at 63074. In fact, neither of the
State’s submittals on that date involved revisions to
Section VII. A correct and complete list of the
affected provisions appears at Table 4 of our
October 6 proposal, and in Table 1 of this final rule.
3 Rules in this column were struck from
Colorado’s regulation number 7 in the May 8, 2019
submittal—RACT for brewing related activities and
wood furniture surface coating operations. Because
these rules were not approved into the SIP from
previous submittals, there is no action for EPA to
take remove them from the SIP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 14, 2020, the Postal Service
