ACTION: Proposed rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This proposed rule will amend Postal Service property regulations by providing that when conduct that is a violation of Federal or State criminal law is committed on Postal Service property, it is also a violation of Postal Service regulations, and that the fine and/or imprisonment penalties of 39 CFR 232.1(p) may be imposed for the proscribed conduct when Federal and State prosecution of the criminal law violation are declined. DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 5, 1995. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed or delivered to the Counsel, Postal Inspection Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 3411, Washington, DC 20260-2181. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Henry J. Bauman, Counsel, Postal Inspection Service, (202) 268-4415. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Postal Service regulations on conduct on postal property are published in title 39 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as Sec. 232.1. One purpose of this proposed rule is to clarify that prohibited conduct on postal property includes violations of: (1) State, Territory, Possession, and District criminal laws assimilated onto exclusive Federal property under 18 U.S.C. 13, Assimilated Crimes Act; and (2) Federal, State, Territory, Possession, and/or District criminal laws that apply to the geographic areas in which nonexclusive properties owned or leased by the Postal Service are located. Another purpose of this proposed rule is to provide that when conduct that is a violation of Federal, State, Territory, Possession, and/or District criminal law is committed on Postal Service property, it is also a violation of Postal Service regulations. Persons committing such prohibited conduct are subject to the penalty provisions of 39 CFR 232.1(p) (i.e., a fine of not more than $50 and/or imprisonment of not more than 30 days), when prosecution of the criminal law violation is declined by Federal, State, Territory, Possession, or District prosecutors. List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 232 Federal buildings and facilities, Penalties, Postal Service. Accordingly, 39 CFR part 232 is proposed to be amended as set forth below. PART 232--CONDUCT ON POSTAL PROPERTY 1. The authority citation for part 232 continues to read as follows: Authority: 39 U.S.C. 401, 403(b)(3), 404(a)(7); 40 U.S.C. 318, 318a, 318b, 318c; sec. 613, Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Act, 1992, Pub. L. 102-141, 18 U.S.C. 13, 3061; 21 U.S.C. 802, 844. 2. Section 232.1 is amended by adding a new paragraph (r) to read as follows: Sec. 232.1 Conduct on postal property. * * * * * (r) Other prohibited conduct. (1) The regulations in this section for conduct on Postal Service property also include: (i) State, Territory, Possession, and District criminal laws assimilated onto exclusive Federal property under 18 U.S.C. 13, Assimilated Crimes Act; and (ii) Federal, State, Territory, Possession, and/or District criminal laws that apply to the geographic areas in which nonexclusive properties owned or leased by the Postal Service are located. (2) When a violation of a Federal, State, Territory, Possession, or District criminal law is committed on Postal Service property, it is also a violation of Postal Service regulations and is therefore subject to the penalty provisions of paragraph (p) of this section when prosecution of the criminal law violation is declined by Federal, State, Territory, Possession, or District prosecutors.
