43.97′ N, 075° 4.70′ W. 

(b) Definitions. As used in this 

section— 

Designated representative means a 

Coast Guard Patrol Commander, 

including a Coast Guard coxswain, petty 

officer, or other officer operating a Coast 

Guard vessel and a Federal, State, and 

local officer designated by or assisting 

the Captain of the Port Delaware Bay 

(COTP) in the enforcement of the 

security zone. 

USSS protectee means any person for 

whom the United States Secret Service 

requests implementation of a security 

zone in order to supplement protection 

of said person(s). 

Official patrol vessel means any Coast 

Guard, Coast Guard Auxiliary, State, or 

local law enforcement vessel assigned or 

approved by the COTP. 

(c) Regulations. (1) In accordance with 

the general regulations contained in 

§ 165.33 of this part, entry into or 

movement within this zone is 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

COTP, Sector Delaware Bay, or 

designated representative. 

(2) Entry into or remaining in a 

security zone described in paragraph (a) 

of this section is prohibited unless 

authorized by the COTP or designated 

representative when the security zones 

are being enforced. At the start of each 

enforcement, all persons and vessels 

within the security zone must depart the 

zones immediately or obtain 

authorization from the COTP or 

designated representative to remain 

within either zone. All vessels 

authorized to remain in the zone(s) must 

proceed as directed by the COTP or 

designated representative. 

(3) A person or vessel operator who 

intends to enter or transit the security 

zones while the zones are being 

enforced must obtain authorization from 

the COTP or designated representative. 

While the zones are being enforced the 

COTP or designated representative will 

determine access to the zones on a caseby-case basis. A person or vessel 

operator requesting permission to enter 

or transit the security zone may contact 

the COTP or designated representative 

at 215–271–4807 or on marine band 

radio VHF–FM channel 16 (156.8 MHz), 

or by visually or verbally hailing the onscene law enforcement vessel enforcing 

the zone. On-scene Coast Guard 

personnel enforcing this section can be 

contacted on marine band radio, VHF– 

FM channel 16 (156.8 MHz). The 

operator of a vessel must proceed as 

directed upon being hailed by a U.S. 

Coast Guard vessel, or other Federal, 

State, or local law enforcement agency 

vessel, by siren, radio, flashing light, or 

other means. When authorized by the 

COTP or designated representative to 

enter the security zone all persons and 

vessels must comply with the 

instructions of the COTP or designated 

representative and proceed at the 

minimum speed necessary to maintain a 

safe course while within the security 

zone. 

(4) Upon being hailed by a U.S. Coast 

Guard vessel, or other Federal, State, or 

local law enforcement agency vessel, by 

siren, radio, flashing light or other 

means, a person or operator of a vessel 

must proceed as directed. Failure to 

comply with lawful direction may result 

in expulsion from the regulated area, 

citation for failure to comply, or both. 

(5) Unless specifically authorized by 

on scene enforcement vessels, no vessel 

or person will be permitted to stop or 

anchor in the security zone. A vessel 

granted permission to enter or transit 

within the security zone(s) must do so 

without delay or pause for the entirety 

of its time within the boundaries of the 

security zone(s). At times, for limited 

duration, it is anticipated that vessels 

may be prohibited from entering the 

zone due to movement of persons 

protected by USSS. During those times, 

the Coast Guard will provide actual 

notice to vessels in the area. 

(6) The U.S. Coast Guard may secure 

the entirety of either or both security 

zones if deemed necessary to address 

security threats or concerns. 

(7) The U.S. Coast Guard may be 

assisted by Federal, State, and local law 

enforcement agencies in the patrol and 

enforcement of the security zone 

described in paragraph (a) of this 

section. 

(d) Enforcement. (1) The Coast Guard 

activates the security zones when 

requested by the U.S. Secret Service for 

the protection of individuals who 

qualify for protection under 18 U.S.C 

3056(a) or Presidential memorandum. 

The COTP will provide the public with 

notice of enforcement of security zone 

by Broadcast Notice to Mariners (BNM), 

information release at the website: 

https://homeport.uscg.mil/myhomeport/coast-guard-prevention/ 

waterway-management?cotpid=40 as 

well as on-scene notice by designated 

representative or other appropriate 

means in accordance with 33 CFR 165.7. 

(2) These security zones may be 

enforced individually or 

simultaneously. 

Dated: May 27, 2021.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the 

Port, Delaware Bay.

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2021 the Postal 

Service (USPS®) filed a notice of 

mailing services price adjustments with 

the Postal Regulatory Commission 

(PRC), effective August 29, 2021. This

Mailing Standards of the United States

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacqueline Erwin at (202) 268–2158, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed 

prices will be available under Docket 

No. R2021–2 on the Postal Regulatory 

Commission’s website at www.prc.gov. 

The Postal Service’s proposed rule 

includes: Changes to prices, mail 

classification updates, product 

simplification efforts, and a few minor 

revisions to the DMM. 

Direct Pallet Discount for Marketing 

Mail High Density Flats 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

offer additional discounts to move 

additional USPS Marketing Mail High 

Density flats to direct pallets. 

Flat shaped pieces on direct pallets 

are operationally desirable, pallets can 

be directly cross docked to the 

Destination Delivery Units (DDUs). 

These pallets consist of Carrier Route 

and finer sorted bundles such as High 

Density, High Density Plus, and 

Saturation. The nature of their make-up 

allows the Postal Service to avoid 

moving these pallets to bundle sorters 

within the plant, sorting the bundles, 

and moving these bundles back to the 

dock to be transported to the DDU. 

First-Class Mail Nonautomation Letters 

Change 

Currently, the rate structure for all 

nonautomation letters only offers one 

price for machinable and 

nonmachinable letters and a 

nonmachinable surcharge for pieces that 

are nonmachinable. 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

offer two prices for machinable letters, 

AADC and Mixed AADC; and three 

prices for nonmachinable letters, 5-digit, 

3-digit, and Mixed ADC. This structural 

change will reduce revenue at risk and 

better align prices for customers mailing 

nonautomation letters, machinable and 

nonmachinable. This change will also 

eliminate the nonmachinable surcharge 

applicable to nonautomation presort 

letters. 

Although exempt from the notice and 

comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(b), (c)) regarding proposed 

rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the 

Postal Service invites public comments 

on the following proposed revisions to 

Mailing Standards of the United States 

Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 

(DMM), incorporated by reference in the 

Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 

111.1. 

We will publish an appropriate 

amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect 

these changes if our proposal is 

adopted. 

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111
