39 CFR Part 111 

Ballot Mail Ancillary Service 

Endorsements 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is 

amending Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM®) subsections 

507.1.5.1 and 507.1.5.3, to remove 

Change Service Requested, as an 

ancillary service endorsement option for 

Ballot Mail. 

DATES: Effective date: January 21, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Emily Matyas (202) 826–7157 or Garry 

Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 29, 2023, the Postal Service 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (88 FR 67159) to remove 

Change Service Requested, Option 1, as 

an ancillary service endorsement option 

for Ballot Mail. The Postal Service did 

not receive any formal comments. 

The Postal Service is clarifying that 

the notice of proposed rulemaking 

focused on removing ‘‘Change Service 

Requested’’, Option 1 and that Change 

Service Requested, Option 2 was not 

originally included in the Ballot Mail 

Ancillary Service Endorsement Federal 

Register Notice because Change Service 

Requested, Option 2 was never 

associated with any Ballot Mail STIDs. 

Only Change Service Requested, Option 

1 was available for use. However, both 

Change Service Requested Options 1 

and 2 permit all mailpieces that are 

undeliverable-as-addressed to be 

disposed of and it against postal policy 

to dispose of any ballot mailpiece. The 

Postal Service is providing a 

clarification, to avoid any 

misunderstanding, that will state that 

the endorsement ‘‘Change Service 

Requested’’, is not available for Ballot 

Mail. 

Ballot Mail that is undeliverable as 

addressed must be forwarded to the 

voter if a Change of Address notice is on 

file or returned to the election office that 

sent the Ballot Mail. 

We believe this revision will provide 

a more efficient mailing experience. 

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.

New Source Performance Standards 

Review for Secondary Lead Smelters 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is finalizing amendments 

to the new source performance 

standards (NSPS) for secondary lead 

smelters pursuant to the periodic review 

required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

Specifically, the EPA is finalizing 

revisions to the NSPS that applies to 

affected secondary lead smelters 

constructed, reconstructed, or modified 

after December 1, 2022 (NSPS subpart 

La). The EPA is also finalizing 

amendments to the NSPS for secondary 

lead smelters constructed, 

reconstructed, or modified after June 11, 

1973, and on or before December 1, 

2022, (NSPS subpart L). In addition, we 

are finalizing the use of EPA Method 22 

(Visual Determination of Fugitive 

Emissions from Material Sources and 

Smoke Emissions from Flares) as an 

alternative for demonstrating 

compliance with the opacity limit. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

November 20, 2023. The incorporation 

by reference (IBR) of certain 

publications listed in the rule is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of November 20, 2023.
