SUMMARY : The Postal ServiceTMis 
revising Mailing Standards of the 
United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM
®), and 
Notice 123, Price List, to reflect 
classification changes to Competitive services, as established by the Governors of the United States Postal Service. 
DATES : Effective July 14, 2024. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : Dale 
Kennedy at 202–268–6592 or Kathy Frigo at 202–268–4178. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : These 
changes implement changes in the minimum dimensions for First-Class Package International Service
® 
(FCPIS®), International Priority 
Airmail®(IPA®) service and International Surface Air Lift®(ISAL®) 
service letter-post rolls to bring them closer to compliance with standards established by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Convention Regulations, which serves as applicable authority in this instance, as adopted at a meeting of the UPU Postal Operations Council in May 2023. 
To be in compliance with the UPU 
regulations, the Postal Service must revise its minimum dimensions for international letter-post rolls, so that the minimum length will be 8.25 inches instead of 4 inches, and so that the minimum length plus twice the diameter will be 12 inches instead of 6.75 inches. 
In addition, the Postal Service is 
eliminating a competitive international electronic money transfer service known as Sure Money
®(DineroSeguro®). 
Revisions to the size limitations for 
international rolls are posted under Docket No. MC2024–224, and the removal of prices for International Money Transfer Service (Sure Money) is posted under Docket Number CP2024– 230 and on the Postal Regulatory Commission’s website at http://www.prc.gov. 
This final rule describes the 
classification changes for the following international competitive services: 
•First-Class Package International 
Service. 
•International Money Transfer Service 
Sure Money (DineroSeguro) For pricing, see the Postal Explorer 
website at https://pe.usps.com. 
First-Class Package International 
Service 
First-Class Package International 
Service (FCPIS) is an economical international service for small packages not exceeding 4 pounds in weight and $400 in value. The Postal Service is increasing the FCPIS minimum length requirement on rolls from 4 inches to 8.25 inches and increasing the minimum length plus twice the diameter combined from 6
3⁄4inches to 
12 inches to align with the standards established by the UPU. International Priority Airmail (IPA) service and International Surface Airlift (ISAL) service packets are also affected by this change since the dimensional requirements for IPA and ISAL are identical to those for FCPIS.

proposed to remove the title V 
permitting requirements for air curtain incinerators (ACI) that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, yard waste, or a mixture of these three types of waste. In response to supportive comments received on the August 2020 proposal, this action is finalizing, as proposed, to remove the title V permitting requirements for ACIs that only burn wood waste, clean lumber, yard waste, or a mixture of those, and are not located at title V major sources or subject to title V for other reasons. The EPA is finalizing this proposed action now to simplify the compliance obligations for owners and operators of these types of units.

II. Background A. What is the statutory authority and 
regulatory history for this action? 
Section 129 of the CAA, entitled 
‘‘Solid Waste Combustion,’’ requires the EPA to develop and adopt new source performance standards (NSPS) and emission guidelines (EG) for solid waste incineration units pursuant to CAA section 111 and 129. Section 129(a) of the CAA requires EPA to establish NSPS for new sources, and CAA section 129(b) requires the EPA to establish guidelines, which include emission limits pursuant to section 111(d) of the CAA. Under CAA section 129, NSPS and EG must be developed for new and existing stationary sources that cause or contribute significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. 
In 2005, the EPA promulgated NSPS 
and EG for OSWI units (70 FR 74870; December 16, 2005). ‘‘Standards of Performance for Other Solid Waste Incineration Units’’ (i.e., the OSWI rule), 
which requires owners and operators of ACIs burning only wood waste, clean lumber, yard waste or a mixture of these three types of waste to apply for and obtain a title V permit (70 FR 74884– 85). The EPA explained that title V operating permits ‘‘would assure compliance with all applicable federal requirements for regulated incineration units.’’ (See 70 FR 74873.) 
CAA section 129(a)(5) requires the 
EPA, every 5 years, to review and, in accordance with CAA sections 129 and 111, revise standards and other requirements for solid waste incineration units (such as the OSWI standards). On August 31, 2020, in accordance with EPA’s general authority under CAA section 129(a), the EPA issued a proposal to amend the NSPS and EG for OSWI units (85 FR 54178). Among other amendments, the EPA proposed to eliminate the requirement that ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste, and that are not located at major sources or subject to title V for other reasons, obtain title V operating permits. The EPA has received feedback from several States indicating that the title V permits are unnecessarily burdensome and expensive for States to maintain for these ACIs. Further, based on available data, ACIs that burn exclusively wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste are commonly located at facilities that would not otherwise require title V operating permits. In this action, the EPA is finalizing only the portion of the proposed rule that eliminates the title V 
permit requirement for ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste, for the reasons described below. Since the proposal, both State and industry stakeholders have commented that the title V requirements for these units are overly burdensome and costly, particularly in light of the dependence on ACI units to mitigate natural disaster debris, such as massive amounts of clean wood and vegetative waste for wildfire mitigation and forest management; burning of storm- generated wood and vegetative debris; and burning of land clearing debris. Several States have commented that these ACIs should not be required to obtain title V permits because they are low-emitting and because permitting these ACIs is unnecessarily burdensome and expensive. Further, ACIs that burn exclusively wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste are typically used temporarily at the location of a natural disaster, not at facilities that are subject to title V (See 85 FR 54194; August 31, 2020). 
The EPA has also received comments 
that the title V permit requirement for ACIs that only burn wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste is inconsistent with the definition of ‘‘solid waste incineration unit’’ in CAA section 129(g)(1). CAA section 129(e) generally requires title V permits for ‘‘solid waste incineration units.’’ However, CAA section 129(g)(1) excludes ACIs that 
only burn wood waste, yard waste, and clean lumber and comply with the opacity limitations in 40 CFR 60.2971 and 60.3066. For these reasons, the EPA is removing the title V permitting requirements for ACI units burning only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. 
B. What changes did we propose for 
ACIs in our August 31, 2020, proposal? 
On August 31, 2020, as part of the 
Agency’s 5-year review of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Other Solid Waste Incineration (OSWI) Units, the EPA proposed to remove the title V permitting requirements for ACI units burning only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. The EPA received 20 comment letters from States and industry stakeholders supporting the removal of title V permitting requirement for ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. The EPA received no adverse comments on the proposal.

III. Summary of Final Action 
A. Removal of Title V Permitting 
Requirements for ACIS That Burn Only Wood Waste, Clean Lumber, and Yard Waste 
After considering public comments 
received on the August 2020 proposal, in this action the EPA is finalizing as proposed to remove title V permit requirements for ACI units that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. EPA is finalizing this provision to simplify the compliance obligations for owners and operators of these types of units. 
B. What are the effective and 
compliance dates of the standards? 
The revisions to the title V permitting 
requirements for ACIs burning only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste being promulgated in this action are effective on April 17, 2024. 
IV. Public Comments and Responses A. What key comments did we receive 
on title V permitting requirements for ACIs that Burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste and what are our responses? 
Comment: Commenters support the 
removal of title V permitting requirements for ACIs burning wood waste, yard waste, and clean lumber. Some States commented that these types of ACIs are excluded from the definition of ‘‘solid waste incineration units’’ under CAA section 129(g)(1) and are therefore not subject to the title V permit requirements in CAA section 129(e). Commenters further stated that ACIs burning only the allowed materials should not be considered subject to standards or regulations under CAA section 111, because only ‘‘solid waste incineration units’’ are required to be subject to New Source Performance Standards pursuant to CAA section 129(a) and Emission Guidelines for Existing Units pursuant to CAA section 129(b). Additionally, commenters stated that ACIs burning only the allowed materials should not be subject to title V permitting pursuant to CAA section 502(a), because ACIs are not subject to standards or regulations under CAA section 111. Commenters stated that ACIs burning only the allowed materials should only be subject to the opacity standards pursuant to CAA section 129(g)(1). 
In addition, several commenters 
indicated that the title V permit requirement for these ACIs has been unduly burdensome and expensive for both ACI operators and permitting agencies. Commenters asserted that this has impacted especially small 
businesses, because of the high cost involved in some jurisdictions, the extensive paperwork, and time- consuming reporting requirements. Commenters further stated that these impediments render utilizing an ACI for the reduction of the allowed materials, in most instances, not commercially viable compared to open pile burning or grinding and disposing of the grindings by various means that are often environmentally unsound, such as landfilling. A commenter noted that the title V permit requirements often discourage ACI use and instead create conditions where open burning of wood waste occurs instead. 
A commenter indicated that removal 
of the title V permit requirement would greatly simplify the permitting process while encouraging a cleaner, less polluting method of wood waste disposal when compared to open burning. Commenters stated that the immediate result of removing the title V permit requirement will be less open pile burning and grinding of wood waste, which will reduce Black Carbon emissions with a positive effect on global warming. Several commenters noted that increased use of ACIs that are not considered to be solid waste incinerators would produce biochar that can be used as a beneficial soil amendment rather than being treated as a hazardous waste that must be disposed of in a landfill. A commenter also asserted that ACIs are air quality control devices and a preferred method of managing wood wastes. 
A commenter stated that ACIs that 
burn wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste are not incinerators and characterized ACIs that burn this type of waste as air pollution control devices for an open burn pile. Commenters emphasized that the residuals from ACIs that burn this type of waste consist of wood ash and biochar, which are not hazardous waste, as are residual ashes from true MSW incinerators. A commenter added that this would pave the way in all jurisdictions for wood ash and biochar from ACIs burning only the allowed materials to be land-applied as a beneficial soil additive and ACI residuals from burning clean wood waste would no longer require a 
hazardous waste permit and subsequent disposal into a landfill, often at considerable cost. 
A commenter encouraged the EPA to 
clarify that the waiver of title V permitting requirements also would apply when ACIs are used to burn other naturally occurring and organic materials in an effort to remove or reduce hazardous fuels loads that could lead to a wildland fire incident. Another commenter urged the EPA to expand this title V exemption to all ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste (e.g., ACIs subject to 40 
CFR 60.2020 and 60.2010). 
Response: As noted by the 
commenter, the EPA proposed to eliminate the title V permit requirement for ACIs that only burn wood wastes, yard wastes, and clean lumber and that comply with opacity limitations established by the EPA, unless they otherwise need title V permits (85 FR 54194). The definition of ‘‘solid waste incineration unit’’ in CAA section 129(g)(1) ‘‘does not include (C) air curtain incinerators [that] only burn wood wastes, yard wastes and clean lumber’’ and comply with opacity limits. Importantly, the regulations at 40 CFR 70.3 stipulate the types of sources that must obtain a permit for operation pursuant to CAA section 502(a). In particular, title V permitting applies to any major source, as defined in 40 CFR 70.2, without exceptions, including ACI that are not solid waste incineration units under CAA section 129(g)(1), but are themselves major sources. The preamble to the proposal explains that ‘‘EPA is proposing to eliminate this regulatory title V permitting requirement for such ACIs that are not located at a major source or subject to title V for other reasons.’’ (85 FR 54194) This final rule clarifies applicability of title V permitting requirement for ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste or a combination of these materials and comply with the Section 129 opacity requirements. We disagree that this interpretation should extend to ACIs used to burn materials other than wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste, as defined in 40 CFR 60.2992 and 60.3078. 
V. Summary of Cost, Environmental, 
and Economic Impacts 
A. What are the affected facilities? 
The OSWI database developed for the 
August 31, 2020, proposal lists 
approximately 29 ACI units that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste, at 29 facilities. It is possible that there are units not included in the OSWI database. 
B. What are the air quality impacts? 
There are no air quality impacts 
associated with this action. The removal 
of title V permitting requirements for ACIs that only burn wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste does not have an effect on the obligation for sources to comply with the existing standards, including the stringency of the

standards in 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
EEEE or FFFF, or on the ability of Federal or State agencies to enforce standards. 
C. What are the cost impacts? 
The removal of title V permit 
requirements for ACI units that burn 
only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste results in a cost savings in permit costs for ACI units that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. There is no cost impact on other types of ACI units that do not burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. 
D. What are the economic impacts? 
The removal of title V permit 
requirements for ACI units that burn 
only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste results in a cost reduction that cannot be quantified because the EPA is unable to accurately identify the number of these units to scale the cost reduction. There is no economic impact on other types of ACI units that do not burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. 
E. What are the benefits? 
This final action will simplify 
compliance and reduce administrative 
cost burden for owners and operators of ACI units that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste and permitting authorities. The rule will not change existing emission standards. Further, it will have no adverse impact on public health or the environment. 
VI. Statutory and Executive Order 
Reviews 
Additional information about these 
statutes and Executive orders can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws- regulations/laws-and-executive-orders. 
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 
Planning and Review and Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review 
This action is not a significant 
regulatory action as defined in the Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, and was therefore not subject to a requirement for Executive Order 12866 review. 
B. Paperwork Reduction Act 
This action does not impose an 
information collection burden under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). There are no information collection request activities associated with this action. 
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 
I certify that this action will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the RFA. In making this determination, the EPA concludes that the impact of concern for this action is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities and that the agency is certifying that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the action relieves regulatory burden on the small entities subject to this action. This action removes title V permit requirements for affected small entities. We have therefore concluded that this action will relieve regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities. 
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 
This action does not contain an 
unfunded mandate of $100 million or 
more as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA), 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action imposes no enforceable duty on any State, local, or Tribal governments or the private sector. 
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 
This action does not have federalism 
implications. It will not have substantial 
direct effects 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. 
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 
and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments 
This action does not have Tribal 
implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. It will neither impose direct compliance costs on federally recognized Tribal governments nor preempt Tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. 
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 
Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks 
Executive Order 13045 directs Federal 
agencies to include an evaluation of the health and safety effects of the planned regulation on children in Federal health and safety standards and explain why the regulation is preferable to potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866, and because the EPA does not anticipate the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to children. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk. 
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use 
This action is not subject to Executive 
Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. 
I. National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act (NTTAA) and 1 CFR Part 51 
This rulemaking does not involve 
technical standards. 
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 
Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All 
The EPA believes that the human 
health and environmental conditions that exist prior to this action do not result in disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with environmental justice (EJ) concerns. The removal of title V requirements for ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste do not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. 
The EPA believes that this action is 
not likely to result in new disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with environmental justice concerns. Air quality regulation on ACIs remains in place to control environmental exposure to the public despite the removal of title V permit requirements for ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. This action will not compromise standards and/or controls on ACIs that burn only wood waste, clean lumber, and yard waste. 
K. Congressional Review Act 
This action is subject to the 
Congressional Review Act (CRA), and 
the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
