develop and improve the RNAV route 

structure. 

Colored Federal airway A–3 extends 

between the Evansville and Put River 

NDB. The decommissioning of the 

Evansville and Put River NDBs would 

render A–3 unusable. The FAA 

proposes to revoke A–3 in its entirety. 

The loss of A–3 is mitigated by existing 

RNAV route T–240 and Very High 

Frequency Omnidirectional Range 

(VOR) Federal Airway V–504 which 

directly overlay A–3. 

Colored Federal airway A–17 extends 

between the Chena, AK, NDB and the 

Put River NDB. The decommissioning of 

the Chandalar Lake and Put River NDBs 

would render A–17 unusable. The FAA 

proposes to revoke A–17 in its entirety. 

The loss of A–17 is mitigated by existing 

RNAV route T–227 which is near A–17. 

Colored Federal airway G–16 extends 

between the Point Lay, AK, NDB and 

the Put River NDB. The 

decommissioning of the Wainwright 

Village, Browerville, Nuiqsut Village, 

and Put River NDBs would render G–16 

unusable. The FAA proposes to revoke 

G–16 in its entirety. The loss of G–16 is 

mitigated by existing RNAV routes T– 

366 and T–235 which overlay or are 

near G–16. 

The Proposal 

The FAA is proposing an amendment 

to 14 CFR part 71 to revoke Colored 

Federal airways A–3, A–17, and G–16 in 

Alaska due to the pending 

decommissioning of their supporting 

Navigational Aids (NAVAID). 

Colored Federal airway A–3 extends 

between the Evansville and Put River 

NDBs. Colored Federal airway A–17 

extends between the Chena and the Put 

River NDBs. Colored Federal airway G– 

16 extends between the Point Lay and 

the Put River NDBs. The FAA proposes 

to revoke Colored Federal airways A–3, 

A–17, and G–16 in their entirety. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore: (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a regulatory evaluation as 

the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Market Dominant Postal Products 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Commission previously 

proposed amendments to its regulations 

concerning rate incentives for Market 

Dominant products. After the period for 

filing comments in the instant docket 

closed, in Docket No. R2023–3, the 

Postal Service proposed, and the 

Commission subsequently approved, 

two Market Dominant rate incentives for 

Calendar Year (CY) 2024. Because the 

rule proposals in the instant docket may 

have a bearing on any future proposals 

to include these rate incentives in the 

percentage change in rates calculation, 

the Commission provides the public 

with an opportunity to comment on the 

relationship of the rule proposals in the 

instant docket and the rate incentives 

approved for CY 2024 in Docket No. 

R2023–3. 

DATES: Comments are due: December 4, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at http://

www.prc.gov. Those who cannot submit 

comments electronically should contact 

the person identified in the FOR FURTHER

I. Background 

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 503 and 3622, 

the Commission proposed amendments 

to its regulations concerning rate 

incentives for Market Dominant 

products appearing in existing 39 CFR 

part 3030.1 The proposed amendments 

would revise the regulation defining 

‘‘rate of general applicability’’ for 

purposes of Market Dominant rate 

adjustment proceedings to clarify that,

2See Order No. 6325 at 1–2, 38; Order Adopting 

Final Rules Regarding Rate Incentives for Market 

Dominant Products, May 15, 2020 (Order No. 5510). 

As discussed further below, although these rules 

were adopted by Order No. 5510, the Commission 

subsequently indicated that it did not intend to 

enforce Order No. 5510 pending reconsideration of 

it. See Notice of Intent to Reconsider, August 26, 

2020 (Order No. 5655). 

3See Docket No. R2023–3, Order on Market 

Dominant Price Change Creating Two Incentives, 

September 27, 2023, at 1–2 (Order No. 6713).

Service Notice of Market Dominant Price Change 

Creating Two Incentives, August 11, 2023, at 8–9

to qualify as a rate of general 

applicability, a rate incentive may not 

be based on historical mail volumes or 

prior mailer participation in a rate 

incentive or promotion. See Order No. 

6325 at 1. Further, the Commission 

proposed to begin enforcing 39 CFR 

3030.123(j) and 39 CFR 

3030.128(f)(2)(iv) in their entirety.2

Enforcing these rules would add an 

additional criterion for a rate incentive 

to be eligible for inclusion in a 

percentage change in rates calculation 

and would require that more 

information concerning Market 

Dominant rate incentives be included in 

a notice of rate adjustment. See Order 

No. 6325 at 2. 

After the period for filing comments 

in the instant docket closed, in Docket 

No. R2023–3, the Postal Service 

proposed, and the Commission 

subsequently approved, two Market 

Dominant rate incentives for Calendar 

Year (CY) 2024.3 Although the rate 

incentives were not proposed for 

inclusion in the percentage change in 

rates calculation for CY 2024,4 the 

Postal Service stated that it intends to 

propose including these rate incentives 

in the percentage change in rates 

calculation in the future. See Docket No. 

R2023–3 Notice at 9; Order No. 6713 at 

2. 

II. Invitation To Comment 

Because the First-Class Mail Growth 

Incentive and the Marketing Mail 

Growth Incentive were proposed after 

the timeframes for submitting comments 

in responses to the rule proposals set 

forth in Order No. 6325 ended, and 

because those rule proposals may have 

a bearing on the Postal Service’s ability 

to include those rate incentives in the 

percentage change in rates calculation, 

the Commission provides an 

opportunity for comment on the 

relationship between the pending rule 

proposals in the instant proceeding and 

the First-Class Mail Growth Incentive 

and the Marketing Mail Growth 

Incentive. The Commission invites 

comments from the public on the 

relationship of these rule proposals and 

rate incentives, including on the 

questions that the Commission raised in 

Order No. 6713 about whether the FirstClass Mail Growth Incentive and the 

Marketing Mail Growth Incentive would 

be permitted to be included in the 

percentage change in rates calculation 

under the rule proposals in Order No. 

6325. 

III. Administrative Actions 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act 

requires federal agencies, in 

promulgating rules, to consider the 

impact of those rules on small entities. 

See 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. If the proposed 

or final rules will not, if promulgated, 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities, 

the head of the agency may certify that 

the initial and final regulatory flexibility 

analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 

and 604 do not apply. See 5 U.S.C. 

605(b). 

In the context of this rulemaking, the 

Commission’s primary responsibility is 

in the regulatory oversight of the United 

States Postal Service. The rules that are 

the subject of this rulemaking have a 

regulatory impact on the Postal Service, 

but do not impose any regulatory 

obligation upon any other entity. Based 

on these findings, the Chairman of the 

Commission certifies that the rules that 

are the subject of this rulemaking will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. Therefore, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

605(b), this rulemaking is exempt from 

the initial and final regulatory flexibility 

analysis requirements of 5 U.S.C. 603 

and 604. 

Interested persons are invited to 

provide written comments as discussed 

in this notice. Comments are due no 

later than December 4, 2023. All 

comments received will be available for 

review on the Commission’s website, 

http://www.prc.gov. 

Philip T. Abraham will continue to 

serve as an officer of the Commission 

(Public Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in this 

docket.
