IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On July 14, 2015, the Postal Service 

filed a petition pursuant to 39 CFR 

3050.11 requesting that the Commission 

initiate an informal rulemaking 

proceeding to consider a proposed 

change in analytical principles relating 

to periodic reports.1 A description of 

Proposal Three is attached to the 

Petition. Petition at 1. The Petition 

identifies the proposed change as a 

modification to the analytical method 

used to estimate shape and weight for a 

portion of the ‘‘Origin-Destination 

Information System—Revenue, Pieces 

and Weight’’ (ODIS–RPW) sampling 

frame related to letter and card shaped 

mailpieces. Id. 

II. Summary of Proposal 

The Postal Service explains that 

ODIS–RPW is a probability-based 

destinating mail sampling system that 

primarily supplies the official 

‘‘Revenue, Pieces and Weight By Class 

and Special Services’’ (RPW) report 

estimates of revenue, volume, and 

weight for single-piece stamped and 

metered mail. Id., Proposal Three at 4. 

Currently, ODIS–RPW data collectors 

travel to randomly selected Mail Exit 

Points (MEPs) on randomly selected 

days and manually sample mail as it 

arrives at these locations. Id. These data 

collectors record mail characteristics 

from the sampled mail pieces, such as 

revenue, volume, weight, mail class, 

subclass, and indicia. Id. 

Under Proposal Three, a portion of 

MEPs would begin digitally capturing 

the images of letter and card shaped 

mail from Delivery Barcode Sequencing 

(DBCS) second pass operations. Id. at 3. 

The remaining portion of MEPs would 

continue to employ the existing manual 

ODIS–RPW sampling techniques. Id. at 

4–5. The Postal Service asserts that all 

of the mail characteristics currently 

collected from manually sampled 

mailpieces can be collected from 

digitally captured images of sampled 

mailpieces, except for weight and shape. 

Id. at 3. The Postal Service proposes to 

use the weight and shape data from 

those MEPs that continue to employ 

manual sampling techniques as a 

distribution key for the digitally 

sampled mailpieces. Id. at 5. 

The Postal Service plans to 

implement the change in Proposal Three 

beginning on January 1, 2016. Id. at 3. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

proposed change would only impact 

three mail categories: First-Class Mail 

single-piece cards, First-Class Mail 

single-piece stamped letters, and FirstClass Mail single-piece metered letters. 

Id. at 5. 

The Postal Service states that the 

change in Proposal Three would have 

very little impact on the business needs 

that the ODIS–RPW system supports. Id. 

at 10. Moreover, the Postal Service notes 

that the changes in Proposal Three will 

result in cost savings through the 

elimination of travel time and on-site 

work hours for ODIS–RPW data 

collectors. Id. at 5 n.1. 

III. Initial Commission Action 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. RM2015–11 for consideration of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. What is being addressed? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed? 

EPA proposes to approve the SIP 

revision submitted by the state of 

Missouri that removes the requirements 

of stage II vapor recovery control 

systems at gasoline dispensing facilities 

in the St. Louis area including minor 

revisions to the rule as described below. 

On November 20, 2014, MDNR 

submitted a request to revise the SIP to 

include the following revision to 

Missouri Rule 10 CSR 10–5.220, 

‘‘Control of Petroleum Liquid Storage, 

Loading and Transfer’’: (1) Removes the 

requirements of stage II vapor recovery 

control systems at gasoline dispensing 

facilities in the St. Louis area, (2) revises 

certification and testing procedures for 

the remaining stage I systems consistent 

with California Air Resources Board 

(CARB) vapor recovery requirements 

instead of the Missouri Performance 

Evaluation and Test Procedures 

(MOPETP), (3) the prohibition of above 

ground storage tanks at gasoline 

dispensing facilities, and (4) general text 

revisions to better clarify the rule. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. In addition, as 

explained in this proposed action, the 

revisions meet the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110(l) and section 193 and 

implementing regulations. EPA has 

determined that the revisions meet all 

applicable CAA regulations, policy and 

guidance as detailed in EPA Technical 

Support Document and Missouri’s 

technical support documentation which 

is part of this docket. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

We are processing this as a proposed 

action because we are soliciting 

comments on this proposed action. 

Final rulemaking will occur after 

consideration of any comments. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

In this rule, EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

the Missouri Regulation ‘‘Control of 

Petroleum Liquid Storage, Loading and 

Transfer’’ described in the proposed 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 

action merely approves state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
