23112 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 94 / Monday, May 18, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

‘‘Regulations’’), effective August 22, 

1996. 61 FR 43462 (Aug. 23, 1996). 

Section 596.201 of the Regulations 

provides that, except as authorized by 

regulations, orders, directives, licenses, 

or otherwise, no United States person, 

knowing or having reasonable cause to 

know that a country is designated under 

section 6(j) of the EAA as a country 

supporting international terrorism, shall 

engage in a financial transaction with 

the government of such country. A 

schedule following section 596.201 

listed those countries that were 

designated under section 6(j) as of the 

effective date of the Regulations (i.e., as 

of August 22, 1996). Since that date, the 

Secretary of State has issued Public 

Notices rescinding the designations of 

Iraq [69 FR 61702 (Oct. 20, 2004)], Libya 

[71 FR 39696 (July 13, 2006)], and North 

Korea [73 FR 63540 (Oct. 24, 2008)]. 

Accordingly, OFAC is amending section 

596.201 of the Regulations so that the 

schedule that follows in new paragraph 

(b) of this section lists countries that are 

designated under section 6(j) as 

supporting international terrorism as of 

May 18, 2009. The schedule itself is 

being updated by the removal of Iraq, 

Libya, and North Korea, which are no 

longer so designated. 

Public Participation 

Because the amendment of the 

Regulations involves a foreign affairs 

function, the provisions of Executive 

Order 12866 and the Administrative 

Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring 

notice of proposed rulemaking, 

opportunity for public participation, 

and delay in effective date are 

inapplicable. Because no notice of 

proposed rulemaking is required for this 

rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601–612) does not apply. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

The collections of information related 

to the Regulations are contained in 31 

CFR part 501 (the ‘‘Reporting, 

Procedures and Penalties Regulations’’). 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507), those 

collections of information have been 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget under control number 1505– 

0164. An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid control number.

POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION 

39 CFR Part 3001 

[Docket No. RM2009–4; Order No. 214] 

Updates to Rules of Practice 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is removing 

obsolete rules of practice from the Code 

of Federal Regulations. The removed 

rules have been overtaken by 

rulemakings implementing a new postal 

law. 

DATES: Effective May 18, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel, 

202–7689–6824 and 

stephen.sharfman@prc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

This final rule amends part 3001 of 

the Postal Regulatory Commission’s 

rules of practice and procedure, 39 CFR 

part 3001, by removing subparts B, C, F, 

G, I, J, K, and L. As explained below, 

these rules have been rendered obsolete 

by the passage of the Postal 

Accountability and Enhancement Act 

(PAEA), Public Law No. 109–435, 120 

Stat. 3218 (2006). 

The PAEA transformed the Postal 

Rate Commission into the Postal 

Regulatory Commission (Commission); 

repealed several key sections of title 39 

of the United States Code; and added a 

number of new statutory provisions to 

title 39. The result was a major change 

in the Commission’s regulatory 

responsibilities and authorities. In 

response to the changes made by the 

PAEA, the Commission, on October 29, 

2007, established a new system of 

ratemaking which was markedly 

different from the prior regulatory 

regime. Docket No. RM2007–1, Order 

Establishing Ratemaking Regulations for 

Market Dominant and Competitive 

Products, October 29, 2009 (Order No. 

43). 

Because of changes made by the 

PAEA and Order No. 43, subparts B, C, 

F, G, I, J, K, and L of part 3001 of the 

Commission’s rules of practice are 

obsolete and are being removed to avoid 

uncertainty and confusion. 

II. Discussion 

A. 39 CFR Part 3001, Subpart B—Rules 

Applicable to Requests for Changes in 

Rates or Fees 

Part 3001, subpart B, was adopted in 

1971 and covered requests by the Postal 

Service for the issuance of 

recommended decisions by the Postal 

Rate Commission on proposed changes 

in rates and fees. 36 FR 396 (January 12, 

1971). Subpart B implemented section 

3622 of the Postal Reorganization Act 

(PRA). Section 201(a) of the PAEA 

struck PRA §§ 3621 and 3622 from title 

39 of the United States Code and 

replaced those two sections with the 

following new sections: §§ 3621 and 

3622 (applicable to market dominant 

products) and §§ 3631 through 3634 

(applicable to competitive products). 

To implement these statutory 

changes, the Commission, in Order No. 

43, promulgated new regulations as 

parts 3010 and 3015. Those latter parts 

now govern rate changes for market 

dominant and competitive products, 

respectively. 

The repeal of 39 U.S.C. 3621 and 

3622; the addition of new §§ 3621, 3622, 

and 3631 through 3634 to title 39; and 

the adoption of parts 3010 and 3015 to 

the Commission’s rules of practice and 

procedure have, together, rendered 

subpart B of part 3001 obsolete. 

Accordingly, the Commission is 

removing subpart B.
