2011 Changes for Domestic Mailing Services

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal Service will revise Mailing Standards of the United 
States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) to 
incorporate standards for the introduction of Address Information 
System services, for the discontinuation of rigid flats claiming flats 
prices, and other clarifications.

DATES: Effective January 2, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bill Chatfield, 202-268-7278.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9 2010, the Federal Register 
published the Postal Service proposed rule, New Standards for Domestic 
Mailing Services (75 FR 39477-39492). We are re-filing separately with 
the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) our request for two incentive 
programs and for changes in the Move Update tolerance and will publish 
related standards in a separate Federal Register notice. The Postal 
Service is postponing implementation of any changes directly related to 
a price change.
    This final rule includes changes in terminology for some Standard 
Mail letter prices, discontinuation of the current exception that 
allows some rigid flats to claim flats prices, a change in the 
expression of decimal pounds for Package Services parcels, the list of 
Address Information System services, and the mailing standards in the 
DMM to implement the changes. We received no customer comments on these 
elements of the prior proposed rule.

Standard Mail Letters

    Currently, nonbarcoded or nonautomation-compatible Standard Mail 
letters that are mailed at saturation or high density prices pay the 
corresponding nonautomation Standard Mail flats prices. This causes 
confusion for both customers and employees regarding mail preparation. 
For example, mailers often ask if they can enter nonautomation 
saturation or high density letters at destination delivery unit (DDU) 
prices, which is allowed for flats but not for letters. Similar 
confusion exists regarding the price terminology for nonmachinable 
letters weighing more than 3.3 ounces, which currently default to 
nonautomation flats prices.
    To reduce confusion, we are changing the terminology used for the 
pricing of nonbarcoded and/or nonautomation-compatible saturation and 
high density letters by establishing a separate price table for these 
pieces. Prices will be the same as for saturation and high density 
flats. This does not change the applicable prices for these pieces; it 
only clarifies the application of the current prices.
    We also will be using the term ``nonmachinable letter prices'' to 
refer to presorted nonmachinable letters weighing more than 3.3 ounces, 
instead of using the current terminology. Nonmachinable letters over 
3.3 ounces will continue to have the same prices as nonautomation flats 
over 3.3 ounces, but the prices will be called nonmachinable letter 
prices.

Flats

    The Postal Service found that rigid flat-size pieces are generally 
less efficient to handle than non-rigid flats, even when they are able 
to be sorted by our flat-sorting machines. Therefore, we will eliminate 
the current option for rigid flats to be eligible for automation prices 
if they pass a Pricing and Classification Service Center-administered 
testing process. The current flexibility test will remain as described 
in DMM 301.1.3.

Parcels

    Parcel Post[supreg], Bound Printed Matter (BPM), Media 
Mail[supreg], and Library Mail single-piece parcel weights will be 
calculated by rounding off to two decimal places, instead of the 
current four decimal places.

Special and Other Services

Address Information System Products and Services

    Address Management at the USPS[supreg] National Customer Support 
Center (NCSC) in Memphis, TN, provides value-added product and service 
offerings that enable customers to better manage the quality of their 
mailing lists while maximizing the Postal Service's ability to deliver 
mail efficiently. Our changes add a comprehensive list of address 
information system products and services available from the NCSC. The 
prices for these items will be incorporated into Notice 123--Price 
List.
    The Postal Service hereby adopts the following changes to the 
Mailing Services of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail 
Manual (DMM), which is incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal 
Regulations. See 39 CFR Part 111.1.
