(b) Definitions. As used in this

section—

Aerobatics Box is an area described by

a line bound by coordinates provided in

latitude and longitude that outlines the

boundary of a aerobatics box within the

regulated area defined by this section.

Captain of the Port (COTP) Maryland-

National Capital Region means the

Commander, U.S. Coast Guard Sector

Maryland-National Capital Region or

any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant

or petty officer who has been authorized

by the COTP to act on his behalf.

Event Patrol Commander or Event

PATCOM means a commissioned,

warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.

Coast Guard who has been designated

by the Commander, Coast Guard Sector

Maryland-National Capital Region.

Official Patrol means any vessel

assigned or approved by Commander,

Coast Guard Sector Maryland-National

Capital Region with a commissioned,

warrant, or petty officer on board and

displaying a Coast Guard ensign.

Participant means all persons and

vessels registered with the event

sponsor as participating in the ‘‘1st

Annual Shootout on the River

Airshow—Sparrows Point’’ event, or

otherwise designated by the event

sponsor as having a function tied to the

event.

Spectator means a person or vessel

not registered with the event sponsor as

participants or assigned as official

patrols.

Spectator Area is an area described by

a line bound by coordinates provided in

latitude and longitude that outlines the

boundary of a spectator area within the

regulated area defined by this part.

(c) Special local regulations. (1) The

COTP Maryland-National Capital

Region or Event PATCOM may forbid

and control the movement of all vessels

and persons, including event

participants, in the regulated area.

When hailed or signaled by an official

patrol, a vessel or person in the

regulated area shall immediately

comply with the directions given by the

patrol. Failure to do so may result in the

Coast Guard expelling the person or

vessel from the area, issuing a citation

for failure to comply, or both. The COTP

Maryland-National Capital Region or

Event PATCOM may terminate the

event, or a participant’s operations at

any time the COTP Maryland-National

Capital Region or Event PATCOM

believes it necessary to do so for the

protection of life or property.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

: On

February 22, 2021, the Postal Service

published a revised notice of proposed

rulemaking (86 FR 10507–10509) to

update addressing standards. In

response to the revised proposed rule,

the mailing industry provided many

valuable comments.

Eleven formal responses were

received. Several expressed concern that

the change would create cost increases

for lower volume mailers that currently

process their lists quarterly and would

be required to process more frequently,

increasing the cost paid to mail service

providers that offer the address

matching services. Other comments

questioned the 60-day requirement from

address matching to the mailing date

with a product release that is still valid

for use beyond that time frame. This

final rule will clearly outline the ways

in which the addressing standard rules

have changed.

Currently, DMM section 602.6.0, ZIP

Code Accuracy Standards, provides that

a ZIP Code

TM

may be used on a mail

piece within 12 months after having

been verified using a Postal Service

approved method. Once a ZIP Code is

used on a mailpiece, the address

associated with that ZIP Code is

considered to meet Postal Service

addressing standards for an additional

12 months from the date first used in

the mail.

DMM sections 602.7.0, Carrier Route

Accuracy Standard, and 9.0, Coding

Accuracy Support System (CASS),

provide that Address Matching and

Coding Update standards require coding

to be performed within 90 days before

the mailing date for carrier route

mailings and 180 days for all non-carrier

route mailings using the most current

USPS database. The current product

release schedule allows for use of a

database that is valid for 105 days and

may be used in generating discounted

mailings for an additional 6 months

beyond that timeframe. As such, an

address added or modified in the

database may not be updated on a

mailing list for nearly 1 year after the

change was made.

In 2012, the Postal Service

implemented address management

product fulfillment via an electronic

product fulfillment method designed to

provide subscription products to

customers more efficiently. The

database product updates are posted

each month to a secure site where

customers can log in to simply

download the product files. A survey of

licensed Address Management data

products indicates that CASS and

Multiline Accuracy Support System

(MASS) Certified software and service

providers are retrieving and using the

monthly updates during the address

matching and coding processes.

The Postal Service is implementing a

database product cycle that aligns with

the release of other mailing products.

This will provide consistency across all

mailing products and the method by

which the data files are available and

distributed. The USPS will now require

the use of monthly updates for both

carrier route and non-carrier route

mailings and reduces the risk of using

data that is no longer current.

The updated release schedule allows

for 120 days of use for generating

discounted mailings and an overlap in

dates for product use. Mailers that

currently process their lists quarterly

would still be compliant as long as they

do not mail beyond the ‘‘last

permissible mailing date’’ for the

‘‘product date’’ as shown in the USPS

Product Cycle in Exhibit 9.3.1. Mailers

will be expected to update their systems

with the latest data files as soon as

practicable and should not wait until

the ‘‘last permissible use’’ date.

The Postal Service is implementing

this change effective October 1, 2022.

This implementation date allows

mailers eighteen months to adjust to the

new update standards, however, mailers

may opt to use the new monthly update

cycles for both carrier route and non-

carrier route mailings immediately.

We believe this revision will provide

customers with a more efficient process

and will reduce the risk of using address

information that is not current.

Unless Z4CHANGE is used, all

bearing addresses coded by any AIS

product must be coded with current

using a product release that is within

the USPS Product Cycle as provided in

Exhibit 9.3.1. All AIS products may be

used immediately on release. New

product releases must be included in

address matching systems no later than

after the first of the month following the

product date. The overlap in dates for

product use allows mailers adequate

time to install the new data files and test

their systems. Mailers are expected to

update their systems with the latest data

files as soon as practicable and need not

wait until the ‘‘last permissible use’’

date. The mailer’s signature on the

postage statement certifies that this

standard has been met when the

corresponding mail is presented to the

USPS. The ‘‘current USPS database’’

the Florida State Implementation Plan

(SIP), submitted by the Florida

Department of Environmental Protection

(FDEP), Division of Air Resources

Management, to EPA on August 26,

2020. The Clean Air Act (CAA or Act)

requires that each state adopt and

submit a SIP for the implementation,

maintenance, and enforcement of each

national ambient air quality standard

(NAAQS) promulgated by EPA,

commonly referred to as an

‘‘infrastructure SIP.’’ This submission

addresses certain greenhouse gas (GHG)

Prevention of Significant Deterioration

2008 and 1997 8-hour Ozone and the

1997 Annual and 2006 24-hour Fine

Particulate Matter (PM

Additionally, EPA is converting the

previous disapprovals of Florida’s

infrastructure SIPs related to the CAA

GHG PSD permitting requirements for

the above NAAQS to full approvals.
