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, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1 F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), 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.

Protest Activities Dated: August 4, 2023. Joseph B. Parker, Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Sector Lake Michigan. ADDRESSES 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. 54239 The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.

Intelligent Mail Package Barcode Compliance Quality

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is amending Mailing Standards of the United 
States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) to add an 
additional Intelligent Mail[supreg] package barcode (IMpb[supreg]) 
validation under the ``Barcode Quality'' compliance category.

DATES: Effective October 1, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Jarboe at (202) 268-7690, Devin 
Qualls at (202) 268-3287, or Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268-7281.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 28, 2023, the Postal Service 
published a notice of proposed rulemaking (88 FR 41871-41872) to add an 
additional IMpb validation. In response to the proposed rule, the 
Postal Service did not receive any formal comments.
    The Postal Service is adding a third validation under the ``Barcode 
Quality'' compliance category that will require that an IMpb must 
include a valid, unique 3-digit STC that accurately represents the mail 
class, product, and service combination on the physical label affixed 
to the package. Additionally, the IMpb on the package must also 
correspond with electronic package level details and Extra Services 
Code(s) contained within the Shipping Services File (SSF). Any variance 
in the data presented in the electronic submission of a parcel or a 
variance with the physical aspect of the label affixed to a parcel 
presented for mailing will be subject to the IMpb noncompliance fee if 
a mailer falls below the 98 percent threshold.
    We believe this revision will ensure IMpb quality enabling the 
Postal Service to provide customers with a more efficient mailing 
experience.
    The Postal Service adopts the described changes to Mailing 
Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 
(DMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.
