New Mailing Standards for Domestic Mailing Services Products

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 3, 2017, the Postal Service (USPS) filed a notice 
of mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory 
Commission (PRC). The proposed price adjustments are scheduled to 
become effective on January 21, 2018. This proposed rule contains the 
revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, 
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) that we would adopt to implement 
rule changes coincident with the price adjustments.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 13, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written comments to the manager, Product 
Classification, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 4446, 
Washington, DC 20260-5015. If sending comments by email, include the 
name and address of the commenter and send to

Domestic Mailing Services Proposal.'' Faxed comments are not accepted. 
You may inspect and photocopy all written comments, by appointment

11th Floor North, Washington, DC, 20260. These records are available

2906.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Erwin at (202) 268-2158, or 
Lizbeth Dobbins at (202) 268-3789.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed prices will be available under 
Docket No. R2018-1 on the Postal Regulatory Commission's Web site at 
www.prc.gov. The Postal Service's proposed rule includes: Changes to 
prices, mail classification updates, modifications to mail preparation 
standards, and minor revisions to the DMM to condense language and/or 
eliminate redundancy.

Add Bound Printed Matter Flats Up to 24 Ounces to Comail DSCF or DDU 
Only

    Currently, the USPS allows authorized mailers to combine USPS 
Marketing Mail flats and Periodicals flats in a single mailing. Each 
mailpiece must meet the standards for the mail class, and Periodicals 
publications must be authorized or pending original or additional entry 
at the office of mailing. Mailers must prepare pieces in bundles on 
pallets.
    The USPS proposes allowing Bound Printed Matter (BPM) Flats up to 
24 ounces to be included in the current comailing structure which 
includes USPS Marketing Mail flats and Periodicals flats up to 24 
ounces entered at a Destination Sectional Center Facility, (DSCF) or a 
Destination Delivery Unit, (DDU). The maximum weight of comailed BPM 
and Periodicals flats is 24 ounces per piece within the same bundle. 
Pieces within the bundle must be in line-of-travel, LOT, sequence. 
These bundles must not contain more than half of the heavier pieces. 
Note that comail bundles which contain all three classes of mail assume 
the service standard of USPS Marketing Mail. If bundles are made only 
of Periodicals and Bound Printed Matter Flats, then the service 
standard adopted will be the lesser of the two. This proposal includes 
CoPal, which allows the mixing of class-specific, bundles on the same 
pallet, which can also include mixed class bundles (comail). If BPM 
bundles are included on the same pallet, then this CoPal pallet must be 
DSCF or DDU entry only.

Order of Pallet Preparation for Carrier Route (CR) Pallets in Non-FSS 
Zones

    Currently, the pallet preparation requirements for Carrier Route 
pallets in Non-FSS zones allows merged 5-digit scheme pallets as the 
first required sortation, followed by 5-digit scheme carrier routes, 5-
digit scheme, and merged 5-digit pallets.
    The USPS is considering updating the order of pallet preparation, 
to increase the number of pure CR Pallets (as opposed to 5-Digit Merged 
Pallets) presented in non-FSS zones. This will be accomplished by 
moving 5-digit Scheme Carrier Route pallets ahead of Merged 5-digit 
Scheme pallets. This includes both USPS Marketing Mail and Periodicals. 
This change would increase the amount of mail eligible for a CR pallet 
discount, resulting in eligibility for lower prices on the mail.

Zone Charts Revision: Priority Mail to APO/FPO/DPO Processing at 
Chicago ISC

    The Postal Service is proposing a change to all zone charts to 
reflect Priority Mail to APO/FPO/DPO destinations will only be 
processed at the Chicago ISC.

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111

    Administrative practice and procedure, Postal Service.
