[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 197 (Friday, October 13, 2017)] [Proposed Rules] [Pages 47659-47662] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-22212] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- POSTAL SERVICE 39 CFR Part 111 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 [email protected], with a subject line of ``January 2018 Domestic Mailing Services Proposal.'' Faxed comments are not accepted. You may inspect and photocopy all written comments, by appointment only, at USPS[supreg] Headquarters Library, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., 11th Floor North, Washington, DC, 20260. These records are available for review on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., by calling 202-268- 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. Although we are exempt from the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b), (c)) regarding proposed rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), we invite public comments on the following proposed revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.
