disproportionately affecting children.
National Environmental Policy Act
Consistent with sections 501(a) and
702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1251(a) and
1292(d)) and the U.S. Department of the
Interior Departmental Manual, part 516,
section 13.5(A), state program
amendments are not major federal
actions within the meaning of section
102(2)(C) of the National Environmental
Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)).
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.)
directs OSMRE to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. (OMB Circular
A–119 at p. 14). This action is not
subject to the requirements of section
12(d) of the NTTAA because application
of those requirements would be
inconsistent with SMCRA.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not include requests
and requirements of an individual,
partnership, or corporation to obtain
information and report it to a federal
agency. As this rule does not contain
information collection requirements, a
submission to the Director of the Office
of Management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) is not required.
Original amendment
submission date
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Unfunded Mandates
This rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). The State submittal, which is
the subject of this rule, is based upon
corresponding federal regulations for
which an economic analysis was
prepared, and certification made that
such regulations would not have a
significant economic effect upon a
substantial number of small entities. In
making the determination as to whether
this rule would have a significant
economic impact, the Department relied
upon the data and assumptions for the
corresponding federal regulations.
This rule will not impose an
unfunded mandate on state, local, or
Tribal governments or the private sector
of more than $100 million per year. The
rule does not have a significant or
unique effect on state, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector. This
determination is based on an analysis of
the corresponding federal regulations,
which were determined not to impose
an unfunded mandate. Therefore, a
statement containing the information
required by the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act (2 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) is not
required.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act
Intergovernmental relations, surface
mining, underground mining.
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
This rule: (a) Does not have an annual
effect on the economy of $100 million;
(b) Will not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, federal, state, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions; and (c) Does not
have significant adverse effects on
competition, employment, investment,
productivity, innovation, or the ability
of U.S.-based enterprises to compete
with foreign-based enterprises. This
determination is based on an analysis of
the corresponding federal regulations,
which were determined not to
constitute a major rule.

December 5, 2023, the Postal Service
published a notice of proposed

clarify the requirement of the service

response to the proposed rule, the Postal

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 13 / Friday, January 19, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
containing multiple comments, as
follows:
Comment: Two comments raised
concern with the January 21, 2024,
effective date. One of the comments
cited late notification, peak season, and
end-of-year programming routines as
causes for delayed adherence to the new
requirements and requested a grace
period through March 31, 2024.
Response: The Postal Service has
taken this request into consideration
and will allow a grace period from
January 21, 2024, through May 31, 2024.
Comment: Two comments stated
concern with the service icon and
service banner requirement being
problematic for some of the Postal
Service’s recommended label formats.
Response: The Postal Service has
updated the Parcel Labeling Guide
(v3.3.3), available on PostalPro at
postalpro.usps.com, which outlines the
requirements for sizing of the service
icon and banner for all label sizes.
Comment: Two comments were a
request to confirm the proposed rule did
not require a service icon on Parcel
Return Service labels.
Response: The Postal Service has
updated the Parcel Labeling Guide
(v3.3.3), available on PostalPro at
postalpro.usps.com, which outlines the
requirements for Parcel Return Service
(PRS) labels.
Comment: One comment questioned
the proposal to require a generic box
with an ‘‘X’’ through it for Parcel Select
shipments and questioned the
operational purpose of the marking on
a destination entered product.
Response: The Parcel Select ‘‘X’’ or
solid box service icons are established
markings by the Postal Service that are
already in use by shippers on their
Parcel Select shipping labels.
Operationally, the use of these markings
assists in the visibility of Parcel Select
mailpieces not sorted to a 5-digit, and
primarily entered at the DNDC and
DSCF (e.g., SCF, 3-digit, NDC).
The Postal Service is requiring 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
requiring 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.
We believe these revisions will enable
the Postal Service to provide customers

implementation plan (SIP) submission
which revises the 2008 ozone
maintenance plan for the Indiana
portion (Lake and Porter Counties) of

EPA is approving the allocation of a
portion of the safety margins for VOC
and NOX in the ozone maintenance plan
to the 2030 and 2035 budgets. Total year
2030 and 2035 emissions of NOX and
VOC for the area will remain below the
attainment level required by the
transportation conformity regulations.
DATES: This direct final rule will be
effective March 19, 2024, unless EPA
