[Revise the text of 6.1.1 as follows:] Intelligent Mail tray labels are the USPS-approved method to encode routing, content, origin, and mailer information on trays and sacks.

Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
