38098 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 146 / Friday, July 31, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

for further review may be made has 

expired. 

(6) Final resolution occurs when the 

designated or related summons or any 

order enforcing any part of the 

designated or related summons is fully 

complied with and all appeals or 

requests for further review are disposed 

of, the period in which an appeal may 

be taken has expired or the period in 

which a request for further review may 

be made has expired. 

(d) Special rules—(1) Number of 

summonses that may be issued—(i) 

Designated summons. Only one 

designated summons may be issued in 

connection with the examination of a 

specific taxable year or other period of 

a corporation. A designated summons 

may cover more than one year or other 

period of a corporation. The designated 

summons may require production of 

information that was previously sought 

in a summons (other than a designated 

summons) issued in the course of the 

examination of that particular 

corporation if that information was not 

previously produced. 

(ii) Related summonses. There is no 

restriction on the number of related 

summonses that may be issued in 

connection with the examination of a 

corporation. As provided in paragraph 

(c)(2) of this section, however, a related 

summons must be issued within the 30- 

day period that begins on the date on 

which the designated summons to 

which it relates is issued and must 

relate to the same return as the 

designated summons. A related 

summons may request the same 

information as the designated summons. 

(2) Time within which court 

proceedings must be brought. In order 

for the period of limitations on 

assessment to be suspended under 

section 6503(j), a court proceeding to 

enforce or to quash a designated or 

related summons must be instituted 

within the period of limitations on 

assessment provided in section 6501 

that is otherwise applicable to the tax 

return. 

(3) Computation of suspension period 

if multiple court proceedings are 

instituted. If multiple court proceedings 

are instituted to enforce or to quash a 

designated or one or more related 

summonses concerning the same tax 

return, the period of limitations on 

assessment is suspended beginning on 

the date the first court proceeding is 

brought. The suspension shall end on 

the date that is the latest date on which 

the judicial enforcement period, plus 

the 120 day or 60 day period (depending 

on whether the court requires any 

compliance) as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section, expires with respect 

to each summons. 

(4) Effect on other suspension 

periods—(i) In general. Suspensions of 

the period of limitations under section 

6501 provided for under subsections 

7609(e)(1) and (e)(2) do not apply to any 

summons that is issued pursuant to 

section 6503(j). The suspension under 

section 6503(j) of the running of the 

period of limitations on assessment 

under section 6501 is independent of, 

and may run concurrent with, any other 

suspension of the period of limitations 

on assessment that applies to the tax 

return to which the designated or 

related summons relates. 

(ii) Examples. The rules of paragraph 

(d)(4)(i) of this section are illustrated by 

the following examples: 

Example 1. The period of limitations on 

assessment against Corporation P, a calendar 

year taxpayer, for its 2007 return is 

scheduled to end on March 17, 2011. 

(Ordinarily, Corporation P’s returns are filed 

on March 15th of the following year, but 

March 15, 2008, was a Saturday, and 

Corporation P timely filed its return on the 

subsequent Monday, March 17, 2008, making 

March 17, 2011 the last day of the period of 

limitations on assessment for Corporation P’s 

2007 tax year.) On January 4, 2011, a 

designated summons is issued to Corporation 

P concerning its 2007 return. On March 3, 

2011 (14 days before the period of limitations 

on assessment would otherwise expire with 

respect to Corporation P’s 2007 return), a 

court proceeding is brought to enforce the 

designated summons issued to Corporation P. 

On June 6, 2011, the court orders Corporation 

P to comply with the designated summons. 

Corporation P does not appeal the court’s 

order. On September 6, 2011, agents for 

Corporation P deliver material that they state 

are the records requested by the designated 

summons. On October 13, 2011, a final 

resolution to Corporation P’s response to the 

designated summons occurs when it is 

determined that Corporation P has fully 

complied with the court’s order. The 

suspension period applicable with respect to 

the designated summons issued to 

Corporation P consists of the judicial 

enforcement period (March 3, 2011, through 

October 13, 2011) and an additional 120-day 

period under section 6503(j)(1)(B), because 

the court required Corporation P to comply 

with the designated summons. Thus, the 

suspension period applicable with respect to 

the designated summons issued to 

Corporation P begins on March 3, 2011, and 

ends on February 10, 2012. Under the facts 

of this Example 1, the period of limitations 

on assessment against Corporation P further 

extends to February 24, 2012, to account for 

the additional 14 days that remained on the 

period of limitations on assessment under 

section 6501 when the suspension period 

under section 6503(j) began. 

Example 2. Assume the same facts set forth 

in Example 1, except that in addition to the 

issuance of the designated summons and 

related enforcement proceedings, on April 5, 

2011, a summons concerning Corporation P’s 

2007 return is issued and served on 

individual A, a third party. This summons is 

not a related summons because it was not 

issued during the 30-day period that began 

on the date the designated summons was 

issued. The third-party summons served on 

individual A is subject to the notice 

requirements of section 7609(a). Final 

resolution of individual A’s response to this 

summons does not occur until February 15, 

2012. Because there is no final resolution of 

individual A’s response to this summons by 

October 5, 2011, which is six months from 

the date of service of the summons, the 

period of limitations on assessment against 

Corporation P is suspended under section 

7609(e)(2) to the date on which there is a 

final resolution to that response for the 

purposes of section 7609(e)(2). Moreover, 

because final resolution to the summons 

served on individual A does not occur until 

after February 10, 2012, the end of the 

suspension period for the designated 

summons, the period of limitations on 

assessment against Corporation P expires 14 

days after the date that the final resolution 

as provided for in section 7609(e)(2) occurs 

with respect to the summons served on 

individual A. 

(5) Computation of 60-day period 

when last day of assessment period falls 

on a weekend or holiday. For purposes 

of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, in 

determining whether a designated 

summons has been issued at least 60 

days before the date on which the 

period of limitations on assessment 

prescribed in section 6501 expires, the 

provisions of section 7503 apply when 

the last day of the assessment period 

falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal 

holiday. 

(e) Effective/applicability date. This 

section is applicable on July 31, 2009. 

Approved: July 15, 2009.

History, 74 FR 33482 (July 13, 2009). 

I. Background 

II. Comments 

III. Commission Analysis 

IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Background 

The Postal Service seeks to add a new 

product identified as Priority Mail 

Contract 14 to the Competitive Product 

List. For the reasons discussed below, 

the Commission approves the Request. 

On June 29, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a formal request pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. 

to add Priority Mail Contract 14 to the 

Competitive Product List.1 The Postal 

Service asserts that the Priority Mail 

Contract 14 product is a competitive 

product ‘‘not of general applicability’’ 

within the meaning of 39 U.S.C. 

3632(b)(3). This Request has been 

assigned Docket No. MC2009–30. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 

CFR 3015.5. The contract has been 

assigned Docket No. CP2009–40. 

In support of its Request, the Postal 

Service filed the following materials: (1) 

A redacted version of the contract 

which, among other things, provides 

that the contract will expire 3 years 

from the effective date, which is 

proposed to be 1 day after the 

Commission issues all regulatory 

approvals;2 (2) requested changes in the 

Mail Classification Schedule product 

list; 3 (3) a Statement of Supporting 

Justification as required by 39 CFR 

3020.32; 4 and (4) certification of 

compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).5

The Postal Service also references 

Governors’ Decision 09–6, filed in 

Docket No. MC2009–25, as 

authorization of the new product. Id. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Mary Prince Anderson, 

Acting Manager, Sales and 

Communications, Expedited Shipping, 

asserts that the service to be provided 

under the contract will cover its 

attributable costs, make a positive 

contribution to coverage of institutional 

costs, and will increase contribution 

toward the requisite 5.5 percent of the 

Postal Service’s total institutional costs. 

Request, Attachment C, at 1. W. Ashley 

Lyons, Manager, Regulatory Reporting 

and Cost Analysis, Finance Department, 

certifies that the contract complies with 

39 U.S.C. 3633(a). See id., Attachment 

D. 

The Postal Service filed much of the 

supporting materials, including the 

supporting data and the unredacted 

contract, under seal.6 In its Request, the 

Postal Service maintains that the 

contract and related financial 

information, including the customer’s 

name and the accompanying analyses 

that provide prices, terms, conditions, 

and financial projections, should remain 

confidential. Id. at 2–3. 

In Order No. 234, the Commission 

gave notice of the two dockets, 

appointed a public representative, and 

provided the public with an opportunity 

to comment.7 On July 1, 2009, 

Chairman’s Information Request No. 1 

(CHIR No. 1) was issued.8 The Postal 

Service filed its response to Question 

No. 4 on July 1, 2009, and its responses 

to Question Nos. 1 through 3 (under 

seal) on July 8, 2009.9

II. Comments 

Comments were filed by the Public 

Representative.10 No comments were 

submitted by other interested parties. 

The Public Representative states that the 

Postal Service’s filing satisfies the 

procedural requirements for proposing a 

new product and concludes that the 

Priority Mail Contract 14 agreement 

meets the pertinent elements of title 39. 

Id. at 1, 3–4. He further states that the 

agreement appears to be beneficial to 

the general public. Id. at 4. 

The Public Representative believes 

that ‘‘[f]or the sake of the general public, 

some mention in the text of the Notice, 

or a copy of the Governors’ Decision 

(albeit already filed with the 

Commission), would be helpful.’’ Id. at 

4. In support of this contention, he notes 

that the ‘‘general public may only access 

(absent a qualified [and granted] request 

to the Commission for access to 

confidential material) the public 

materials in this docket posted online.’’ 

Id. 

III. Commission Analysis 

The Commission has reviewed the 

Request, the contract, the financial 

analysis provided under seal that 

accompanies it, the responses to CHIR 

No. 1, and the comments filed by the 

Public Representative. 

Statutory requirements. The 

Commission’s statutory responsibilities 

in this instance entail assigning Priority 

Mail Contract 14 to either the Market 

Dominant Product List or to the 

Competitive Product List. 39 U.S.C. 

3642. As part of this responsibility, the 

Commission also reviews the proposal 

for compliance with the Postal 

Accountability and Enhancement Act 

(PAEA) requirements. This includes, for 

proposed competitive products, a 

review of the provisions applicable to 

rates for competitive products. 39 U.S.C. 

3633. 

Product list assignment. In 

determining whether to assign Priority 

Mail Contract 14 as a product to the 

Market Dominant Product List or the 

Competitive Product List, the 

Commission must consider whether the 

Postal Service exercises sufficient 

market power that it can effectively set 

the price of such product substantially 

above costs, raise prices significantly, 

decrease quality, or decrease output, 

without risk of losing a significant level 

of business to other firms offering 

similar products. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If 

so, the product will be categorized as 

market dominant. The competitive 

category of products shall consist of all 

other products. 

The Commission is further required to 

consider the availability and nature of 

enterprises in the private sector engaged 

in the delivery of the product, the views 

of those who use the product, and the 

likely impact on small business 

concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3). 

The Postal Service asserts that its 

bargaining position is constrained by 

the existence of other shippers who can 

provide similar services, thus 

precluding it from taking unilateral 

action to increase prices without the 


rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
38100 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 146 / Friday, July 31, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

risk of losing volume to private 

companies. Request, Attachment C, 

para. (d). The Postal Service also 

contends that it may not decrease 

quality or output without risking the 

loss of business to competitors that offer 

similar expedited delivery services. Id. 

It further states that the contract partner 

supports the addition of the contract to 

the Competitive Product List to 

effectuate the negotiated contractual 

terms. Id. at para. (g). Finally, the Postal 

Service states that the market for 

expedited delivery services is highly 

competitive and requires a substantial 

infrastructure to support a national 

network. It indicates that large carriers 

serve this market. Accordingly, the 

Postal Service states that it is unaware 

of any small business concerns that 

could offer comparable service for this 

customer. Id. at para. (h). 

No commenter opposes the proposed 

classification of Priority Mail Contract 

14 as competitive. Having considered 

the statutory requirements and the 

support offered by the Postal Service, 

the Commission finds that Priority Mail 

Contract 14 is appropriately classified as 

a competitive product and should be 

added to the Competitive Product List. 

Cost considerations. The Postal 

Service presents a financial analysis 

showing that Priority Mail Contract 14 

results in cost savings while ensuring 

that the contract covers its attributable 

costs, does not result in subsidization of 

competitive products by market 

dominant products, and increases 

contribution from competitive products. 

Based on the data submitted, the 

Commission finds that Priority Mail 

Contract 14 should cover its attributable 

costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not 

lead to the subsidization of competitive 

products by market dominant products 

(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have 

a positive effect on competitive 

products’ contribution to institutional 

costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an 

initial review of proposed Priority Mail 

Contract 14 indicates that it comports 

with the provisions applicable to rates 

for competitive products. 

Other considerations. The Postal 

Service shall promptly notify the 

Commission of the scheduled 

termination date of the agreement. If the 

agreement terminates earlier than 

anticipated, the Postal Service shall 

inform the Commission prior to the new 

termination date. The Commission will 

then remove the product from the Mail 

Classification Schedule at the earliest 

possible opportunity. 

Furthermore, the Commission agrees 

with the Public Representative’s 

suggestion that due to confidentiality 

concerns, each docket should be selfcontained. In the future, the Postal 

Service should not cross-reference to 

other dockets (where documents in that 

referenced docket are filed under seal) 

in support of a different docket. This 

ensures that participants will have 

complete access to all information upon 

which the Postal Service proposes to 

rely. 

In conclusion, the Commission 

approves Priority Mail Contract 14 as a 

new product. The revision to the 

Competitive Product List is shown 

below the signature of this order and is 

effective upon issuance of this order. 

IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. Priority Mail Contract 14 (MC2009– 

30 and CP2009–40) is added to the

2. The Postal Service shall notify the 

Commission of the scheduled 

termination date and update the 

Commission if termination occurs prior 

to that date, as discussed in this order. 

3. The Secretary shall arrange for the 

publication of this order in the Federal 

Register.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R06–OAR–2009–0214; FRL–8939–4] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Texas; 

Control of Emissions of Nitrogen 

Oxides (NOX) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking a direct 

final action to approve revisions to the 

Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). 

We are approving revisions to 30 TAC 

Chapter 117, ‘‘Control of Air Pollution 

from Nitrogen Compounds,’’ that the 

State submitted on March 10, 2009. 

These revisions amend the BeaumontPort Arthur (BPA) 8-Hour Ozone 

Nonattainment Area Major Source rules, 

the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria (HGB) 

8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area 

Major Source rules, and the HGB 8-Hour 

Ozone Nonattainment Area Minor 

Source rules. These revisions add 

flexibility and consistency to the current 

stationary reciprocating internal 

combustion engine and gas turbine 

monitoring specifications found in 

Chapter 117 by allowing for an 

additional option for monitoring 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) emissions. These 

revisions are consistent with the Clean 

Air Act (CAA). Therefore, EPA is 

approving these revisions pursuant to 

section 110 of the CAA. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective September 29, 2009 without 

further notice unless EPA receives 

relevant adverse comments by August 

31, 2009. If adverse comments are 

received, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket No. EPA–R06–OAR–2009–0214. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 

http://www.regulations.gov Web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the http:// 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in http:// 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at 

the Air Planning Section (6PD–L), 

Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 

Ross Avenue, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 

75202–2733. The file will be made 

available by appointment for public 

inspection in the Region 6 FOIA Review 

Room between the hours of 8:30 a.m. 

and 4:30 p.m. weekdays except for legal 

holidays. Contact the person listed in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

paragraph below or Mr. Bill Deese at
