Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 100745 

we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this rule. If the rule 

would affect your small business, 

organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

C. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal 

Governments 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect 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. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

have determined that it is consistent 

with the fundamental federalism 

principles and preemption requirements 

described in Executive Order 13132. 

Also, this rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such an expenditure, 

we do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Directive 023–01, Rev. 1, associated 

implementing instructions, and 

Environmental Planning COMDTINST 

5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves safety 

zones of short duration intended to 

protect persons and vessels from 

potential hazards associated with high 

pressure testing of piping system at the 

Golden Pass LNG facility in Sabine Pass, 

TX. It is categorically excluded from 

further review under paragraph L60(a) 

of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS 

Instruction Manual 023–01–001–01, 

Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental 

Consideration supporting this 

determination is available in the docket. 

For instructions on locating the docket, 

see the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to call or email the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places, or vessels.

39 CFR Part 111 

Dual Shipping Labels Discontinued 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is 

amending Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM®) to discontinue the 

use of dual shipping labels. 

DATES: Effective: January 1, 2025. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Catherine Knox at (202) 268–5636 or 

Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 15, 2024, the Postal Service 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (89 FR 82948) to 

discontinue the use of dual shipping 

labels in DMM subsection 602.10. In 

response to the proposed rule, the Postal 

Service received four formal responses, 

one of which was in agreement with the 

proposal. Two of the responses had 

several comments. The comments and 

responses are as follows: 

Comment: Three comments requested 

an extension to the effective date. 

Response: The Postal Service has 

taken these comments into 

consideration and, upon request, may 

provide a 90-day extension for 

compliance until April 1, 2025, for 

mailers specifically impacted by the 

elimination of dual shipping labels. 

However, the effective date will remain 

January 1, 2025. Mailers seeking an 

extension should submit a request to the 

attention of Nicole T. Wilson at 

delivery.confirmation@usps.gov.

Comment: One comment suggested 

the proposed solution failed to account 

for specific use cases where there is no 

clear alternative to dual shipping labels. 

Response: The Postal Service has 

considered specific use cases and 

determined that there are few, if any, 

instances in which there are no 

alternatives to dual shipping labels. The 

shipper always has the option to simply 

determine in advance of label creation 

what carrier will ultimately deliver the 

package. Alternatively, if a dual label 

was created after the effective date of 

the rule, such label could simply be 

over labeled or the carrier markings 

could be obliterated in such fashion as 

to only display the selected delivery 

carrier’s markings. 

Comment: One comment suggests that 

the definition of what constitutes a 

‘‘dual shipping label’’ for purposes of 

the enforcement of this rule is unclear. 

Response: The Postal Service has 

considered this comment. DMM section 

602.10.0 currently states, ‘‘Dual 

shipping labels are used by private 

shipper[s] to identify both the Postal 

Service and a private carrier as possible 

delivery agents.’’ This definition will 

now be reinserted into the new rule. 

Consistent with this, under the new 

rule, a label that identifies the Postal 

Service as the carrier may also include 

additional items of information so long 

as none of those additional items of 

information identify delivery agents 

other than the Postal Service. In other 

words, a label will not be considered a 

prohibited ‘‘dual shipping label’’ simply 

because it includes additional 

information beyond what is required for 

Postal Service label and address 

formats. Instead, it will only be 

considered a dual shipping label if any 

of the additional information included 

thereon identifies or can be used to 

designate delivery agents other than the 

Postal Service. 

The Postal Service is discontinuing 

the use of dual shipping labels. Items 

bearing dual shipping labels should not 

be accepted and may be returned to the 

sender. 

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. We will publish an 

appropriate amendment to 39 CFR part 

111 to reflect these changes.

Bacillus Thuringiensis Cry1Da2 

Protein; Exemption From the 

Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of the Bacillus 

thuringiensis Cry1Da2 protein in or on 

the food and feed commodities of corn: 

corn, field; corn, sweet; and corn, pop, 

when used as a plant-incorporated 

protectant (PIP). Pioneer Hi-Bred 

International, Inc., (Pioneer) submitted a 

petition to EPA under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of Cry1Da2 protein. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

December 13, 2024. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before February 11, 2025, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
