Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service is
amending Mailing Standards of the
United States Postal Service, Domestic
Mail Manual (DMM®) to clarify the
standards for mailing currency.
DATES: Effective: April 30, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale
Kennedy at (202) 268–6592 or Garry
Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 23, 2023, the Postal Service
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (88 FR 3944–3945) to clarify
the standards for mailing currency. The
proposed standards required
commercial cash deposits over $500.00
be sent using Registered Mail® service.
In response to the proposed rule, the
Postal Service received comments from
nine commenters.
Comment: All commenters, four in
part, requested an extension of the
effective date, with varying timeframes,
stating that they need additional time to
make alternate arrangements for their
cash deposits.
Response: The Postal Service agrees
and believes that extending the effective
date from March 1, 2023, to April 30,
2023, is a commercially reasonable
amount of time.
Comment: Three commenters
requested an increase of the $500.00
threshold for mailing cash deposits with
Registered Mail service to $1,000.00 or
$2,000.00.
Response: The Postal Service has
decided to maintain the $500.00
threshold requiring cash deposits be
mailed with Registered Mail service. In
March 2022 the OIG recommended that
the Postal Service conduct a cost-benefit
analysis of the deposit by mail concept.
Through this analysis, the Postal Service
determined that a $500.00 threshold
was appropriate to provide customers
with additional security controls while
mitigating employee safety and theft
risk.
Comment: One commenter included a
request to make an exemption for
seasonal mailers. When cash deposits by
mail do not occur throughout the year,
the expense of alternate deposit
arrangements is higher, putting these
businesses at a competitive
disadvantage.
Response: The Postal Service
recognizes that some customers may be
seasonal, however most customers
conduct these types of transactions
throughout the year. To issue a seasonal
exception, would create operational and
processing complexities which could
produce security and service risks. This
could also pose unintended impacts on
the registered mail product.
While not specifically addressed in
the comments, there appeared to be
some confusion on the term
‘‘commercial cash deposits.’’ As a result,
the Postal Service is providing a
clarification by stating ‘‘commercial
cash transactions.’’
The Postal Service is revising
subsection 503.2.1 to require
commercial cash transactions over
$500.00 be sent using Registered Mail®
service.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 45 / Wednesday, March 8, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
In addition, the Postal Service is
adding new subsection 601.1.3, Mailing
Currency, to provide clarity in the
mailing of currency including the
requirement to send a commercial cash
transaction over $500.00 as Registered
Mail.
The DMM requirements in subsection
601.1.3 in the proposed rule provided
‘‘mailers must not use any USPSprovided packaging’’ (i.e., expedited
packaging supplies) for commercial cash
deposits over $500.00. The Postal
Service is extending this requirement to
read any commercial cash transaction
regardless of amount.
The Postal Service believes this
revision will provide customers with a
safe and secure service for their mailing
needs.
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.
We will publish an appropriate
amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect
these changes.

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve revisions to the Missouri State
Implementation Plan (SIP) received on
November 29, 2016, and March 7, 2019.
The revisions were submitted by

substantial inadequacy and SIP call
published on June 12, 2015, for a
provision in the Missouri SIP related to
excess emissions during startup,
shutdown, and malfunction (SSM)
events. In the submissions, Missouri
requests to revise a regulation related to
restriction of emissions of visible air
contaminants. The revisions to the rule
include removing a statement from the
compliance and performance testing
provisions that does not meet Clean Air
Act (CAA) requirements, adding
exemptions for emission units regulated
by stricter federal and state regulations
or that do not have the capability of
exceeding the emission limits of the
rule, adding an alternative test method
and making other administrative
changes. Approval of these revisions
will ensure consistency between state
and federally approved rules.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
April 7, 2023.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R07–OAR–2022–0746 to
