POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

Restricting the Mailing of Replica or 

Inert Explosive Devices 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is revising 

Mailing Standards of the United States 

Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 

(DMM®) 601.11, to implement a new 

standard restricting the mailing of 

replica or inert explosive devices, such 

as simulated grenades that are not 

dangerous but bear a realistic 

appearance to explosive devices, to 

Registered MailTM service only. 

DATES: Effective Date: July 6, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Evans King, 202–268–4982, or Mary J. 

Collins, 202–268–5440. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal 

Service published a proposed rule in the 

Federal Register on January 5, 2010 (75 

FR 282–283), which added restrictions 

to the mailing of replica and inert 

explosive devices in the mail. The 

Postal Service did not receive any 

comments in response to this proposal. 

Therefore, we will be revising the DMM 

as proposed. The Postal Service will 

specifically identify these items using 

the term ‘‘replica or inert explosive 

devices’’ rather than the proposed 

‘‘replica or inert munitions.’’ The Postal 

Service is also implementing a revised 

process for mailing such items via 

Registered Mail service only rather than 

prohibiting them from the mail 

altogether. 

In the past, postal operations have 

been disrupted and facilities have been 

evacuated when replica or inert 

explosive devices have been discovered 

in the mail. Such evacuations resulted 

in unnecessary expense and loss of 

productivity to the Postal Service and 

have jeopardized USPS® service 

commitments. We believe the 

implementation of the DMM revisions 

described in this final rule will 

minimize the chances of operational 

disruptions caused by replica or inert 

explosive devices and at the same time 

allow mailers to continue to use the 

mail for shipping these items. 

The Postal Service herby adopts the 

following changes to the Mailing 

Standards for the United States Postal 

Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), 

which is incorporated by reference in 

the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 

CFR 111.1.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS 

COMMISSION 

47 CFR Part 36 

[CC Docket No. 80–286; FCC 10–89] 

Jurisdictional Separations and Referral 

to the Federal-State Joint Board 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Interim rule. 

SUMMARY: Jurisdictional separations is 

the process by which incumbent local 

exchange carriers (incumbent LECs) 

apportion regulated costs between the 

intrastate and interstate jurisdictions. In 

this document, the Commission extends 

until June 30, 2011, the current freeze of 

part 36 category relationships and 

jurisdictional cost allocation factors 

used in jurisdictional separations. 

Extending the freeze provides stability 

for, and avoids imposing undue burdens 

on, carriers that must comply with the 

Commission’s separations rules while 

the Commission considers issues 

relating to comprehensive reform of the 

jurisdictional separations process. 

DATES: This interim rule is effective July 

1, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Daniel Ball, Attorney Advisor, at 202– 

418–1577, Pricing Policy Division, 

Wireline Competition Bureau. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Report 

and Order (R&O) in CC Docket No. 80– 

286, FCC 10–89, released on May 25, 

2010. The full text of this document is 

available for public inspection during 

regular business hours in the FCC 

Reference Center, Room CY–A257, 445 

12th Street, SW., Washington, DC 

20554. 

1. Jurisdictional separations is the 

process by which incumbent LECs 

apportion regulated costs between the 

intrastate and interstate jurisdictions. 

The freeze of Part 36 category 

relationships and jurisdictional cost 

allocation factors was first implemented 

for five years on July 1, 2001, 66 FR 

33202, June 21, 2001 (2001 Separations 

Freeze Order), extended approximately 

three years on June 23, 2006, 71 FR 

29843, May 24, 2006 (2006 Separations 

Freeze Extension Order), and extended 

a second time until June 30, 2010 74 FR 

23955, May 22, 2009 (2009 Separations 

Freeze Extension Order). On March 29, 

2010, the Commission released a notice 

of proposed rulemaking seeking 

comment on a further extension of the 

freeze until June 30, 2011. 75 FR 17109 

(Apr. 5, 2010) (NPRM). The 

overwhelming majority of parties filing 

comments in response to the NPRM 

supported extension of the freeze. This 

R&O extends the current freeze until 

June 30, 2011. Extending the freeze 

provides stability for, and avoids 

imposing undue burdens on, carriers 

that must comply with the 

Commission’s separations rules while 

the Commission, working with the 

Federal-State Joint Board on 

Separations, considers issues relating to 

comprehensive separations reform. 

2. The extended freeze will be 

implemented as described in the 2001 

Separations Freeze Order. Specifically, 

price-cap carriers would use the same 

relationships between categories of 

investment and expenses within part 32 

accounts and the same jurisdictional 

allocation factors that have been in 

place since the inception of the current 

freeze on July 1, 2001. Rate-of-return 

carriers would use the same frozen 

jurisdictional allocation factors, and 

would use the same frozen category 

relationships if they had opted 

previously to freeze those as well. 

I. Procedural Matters 

A. Final Regulatory Flexibility 

Certification 

3. As required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, the Commission certifies 

that these regulatory amendments will 

not have a significant impact on small 

business entities. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

4. The R&O does not propose any new 

or modified information collections 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104–13. In 

addition, therefore, it does not contain 

any new, modified, or proposed 

‘‘information collection burden for small 

business concerns with fewer than 25 

employees,’’ pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). 

C. Congressional Review Act 

5. The Commission will send a copy 

of the R&O in a report to be sent to 

Congress and the Government 

Accountability Office pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1)(A). 

II. Ordering Clauses 

6. Pursuant to sections 1, 4(i) and (j), 

214(e), 254, and 410 of the 

Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended, 47 U.S.C. 151, 154(i), 154(j), 

214(e), 254, and 410, the R&O is 

adopted. 

7. The report and order shall be 

effective July 1, 2010. 

8. The Commission’s Consumer and 

Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference 

Information Center, shall send a copy of 

the R&O, including the Final Regulatory 

Flexibility Certification, to the Chief 

Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration.
