Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
we want to assist small entities in
understanding this rule. If the rule
would affect your small business,
organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions
concerning its provisions or options for
compliance, please call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The
Coast Guard will not retaliate against
small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.
C. Collection of Information
This rule will not call for a new
collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal
Governments
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.
E. 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
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.
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. This rule involves safety
zones of short duration intended to
protect persons and vessels from
potential hazards associated with high
pressure testing of piping system at the
Golden Pass LNG facility in Sabine Pass,
TX. It is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01,
Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket.
For instructions on locating the docket,
see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places, or vessels.

39 CFR Part 111
Dual Shipping Labels Discontinued
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service is
amending Mailing Standards of the
United States Postal Service, Domestic
Mail Manual (DMM®) to discontinue the
use of dual shipping labels.
DATES: Effective: January 1, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Catherine Knox at (202) 268–5636 or
Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 15, 2024, the Postal Service
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (89 FR 82948) to
discontinue the use of dual shipping
labels in DMM subsection 602.10. In
response to the proposed rule, the Postal
Service received four formal responses,
one of which was in agreement with the
proposal. Two of the responses had
several comments. The comments and
responses are as follows:
Comment: Three comments requested
an extension to the effective date.
Response: The Postal Service has
taken these comments into
consideration and, upon request, may
provide a 90-day extension for
compliance until April 1, 2025, for
mailers specifically impacted by the
elimination of dual shipping labels.
However, the effective date will remain
January 1, 2025. Mailers seeking an
extension should submit a request to the
attention of Nicole T. Wilson at
delivery.confirmation@usps.gov.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
Comment: One comment suggested
the proposed solution failed to account
for specific use cases where there is no
clear alternative to dual shipping labels.
Response: The Postal Service has
considered specific use cases and
determined that there are few, if any,
instances in which there are no
alternatives to dual shipping labels. The
shipper always has the option to simply
determine in advance of label creation
what carrier will ultimately deliver the
package. Alternatively, if a dual label
was created after the effective date of
the rule, such label could simply be
over labeled or the carrier markings
could be obliterated in such fashion as
to only display the selected delivery
carrier’s markings.
Comment: One comment suggests that
the definition of what constitutes a
‘‘dual shipping label’’ for purposes of
the enforcement of this rule is unclear.
Response: The Postal Service has
considered this comment. DMM section
602.10.0 currently states, ‘‘Dual
shipping labels are used by private
shipper[s] to identify both the Postal
Service and a private carrier as possible
delivery agents.’’ This definition will
now be reinserted into the new rule.
Consistent with this, under the new
rule, a label that identifies the Postal
Service as the carrier may also include
additional items of information so long
as none of those additional items of
information identify delivery agents
other than the Postal Service. In other
words, a label will not be considered a
prohibited ‘‘dual shipping label’’ simply
because it includes additional
information beyond what is required for
Postal Service label and address
formats. Instead, it will only be
considered a dual shipping label if any
of the additional information included
thereon identifies or can be used to
designate delivery agents other than the
Postal Service.
The Postal Service is discontinuing
the use of dual shipping labels. Items
bearing dual shipping labels should not
be accepted and may be returned to the
sender.
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. We will publish an
appropriate amendment to 39 CFR part
111 to reflect these changes.
