SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All
submitted comments and attachments
are part of the public record and subject
to disclosure. Do not enclose any
material in your comments that you
consider to be confidential or
inappropriate for public disclosure.
Currently, when a shipping address
label is used, the standards provide it is
recommended the service icon and
service banner be included on the label.
Effective October 1, 2023, pursuant to
the Federal Register Notice (88 FR
54239–54240) the Postal Service added
a new validation requirement to
Barcode Quality (BQ), a metric
underneath its Intelligent Mail® package
barcode (IMpb®) noncompliance
measurement. The final rule outlined
that the information provided on the
label and the data contained within the
barcodes, including Service Type Codes
(STCs) must align and be correct. As a
result, the Postal Service is proposing to
require the correct service indicator
composed of the service icon and
service banner be included when a
shipping address label is used.
In addition, the Postal Service is
proposing to require the hazardous
materials icon in lieu of the service icon
be included when a shipping address
label is used on items containing
mailable hazardous materials.
Any variance in the physical aspect of
the label affixed to a parcel presented
for mailing may subject the piece to the
IMpb noncompliance fee.
The Postal Service is proposing to
implement this change effective January
21, 2024.
We believe the proposed revision will
enable the Postal Service to provide
customers with a more efficient mailing
experience.
Although exempt from the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(b), (c)) regarding proposed
rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the
Postal Service invites public comment

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants: Threatened Status With
Section 4(d) Rule for the Northern and
Southern Distinct Population
Segments of the Western Spadefoot
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), propose to
list the northern distinct population
segment (DPS) of the western spadefoot
(Spea hammondii), an amphibian
occurring in central and northern
California, and the southern DPS of the
western spadefoot, occurring in
southern California and northwestern
Mexico, as threatened DPSs under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (Act),
as amended. This determination serves
as our 12-month finding on a petition to
list the western spadefoot range-wide.
After a review of the best scientific and
commercial information available, we
find that listing the northern and
southern DPSs of the western spadefoot
as threatened is warranted. Accordingly,
we propose to list the northern and
southern DPSs of the western spadefoot
as threatened DPSs with a rule issued
under section 4(d) of the Act (‘‘4(d)
rule’’). If we finalize this rule as
proposed, it would add the northern
DPS and southern DPS of the western
spadefoot to the List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and extend the
Act’s protections to the two DPSs. Due
to the current lack of data sufficient to
perform required analyses, we conclude
that the designation of critical habitat
for the northern DPS and southern DPS
of the western spadefoot is not
determinable at this time.
