National Environmental Policy Act Procedures

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule amends the Postal Service's National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA) compliance procedures to update an obsolete statutory 
reference.

DATES: Effective Date: August 25, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary W. Bigelow, Senior Litigation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Amendment of 39 CFR 775.6(b)(15) is 
necessary to update a reference to the statutory provision dealing with 
the administrative procedures for the closing or consolidation of post 
offices. Formerly, that provision was codified at 39 U.S.C. 404(b), but 
under section 1010(e) of Public Law 109-435, 120 Stat. 3261, was 
redesignated as 39 U.S.C. 404(d). This rule updates the reference in 
Sec.  775.6.
