POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

New Standards for First-Class Mail and 

Priority Mail Services 

AGENCY: Postal Service. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service will adopt 

new mailing standards and prices on 

May 14, 2007, to support most of the 

pricing change recommended by the 

Postal Regulatory Commission and 

approved by the Governors of the 

United States Postal Service. After a 

reconsideration by the Postal Regulatory 

Commission, we are lowering the price 

for the Priority Mail flat-rate box to 

$8.95 from the previously recommended 

$9.15, and extending the $0.17 

nonmachinable surcharge to all 

nonmachinable single-piece and 

presorted First-Class Mail letters, 

regardless of weight. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: 12:01 a.m. on May 14, 

2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joel 

Walker, 202–268–7261. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal 

Service’s request in Docket No. R2006–

1 included mail classification changes, 

new pricing structures, and price 

changes for most domestic mailing 

services. This final rule provides new 

revisions to Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM) that we will adopt 

to implement two items that were 

reconsidered in the R2006–1 pricing 

change. 

You can find more information about 

the pricing change at http:// 

www.usps.com/ratecase, including our 

proposed and final rules for all of the 

rate and classification changes. Our Web 

site provides frequently asked 

questions, press releases, and Mailers 

Companion and MailPro articles for 

business mailers. We also posted a new 

version of the DMM with all of the 

prices and standards effective May 14, 

including the reconsidered prices in this 

final rule. We encourage you to use 

these materials as you prepare for the 

pricing change. 

Background 

The Postal Service Board of Governors 

set May 14, 2007, as the implementation 

date for new prices and related changes 

for all classes of mail and extra services, 

with the exception of Periodicals mail, 

which we will implement on July 15, 

2007. While the Governors acted to 

implement all of the Postal Regulatory 

Commission’s recommended rates, they 

also asked the Commission to 

reconsider three issues: the prices for 

Standard Mail flats, the application of 

the nonmachinable surcharge for FirstClass Mail letters, and the price for the 

Priority Mail flat-rate box. 

On April 27, 2007, the Commission 

issued its Opinion and Recommended 

Decision on Reconsideration regarding 

the nonmachinable surcharge for FirstClass Mail letters and the price for the 

Priority Mail flat-rate box. The 

Commission recommended that we 

remove the ‘‘1-ounce or less’’ limitation 

on the nonmachinable surcharge for 

First-Class Mail letters, and charge $8.95 

for the Priority Mail flat-rate box. The 

Postal Service Board of Governors 

approved the recommended changes 

and set May 14, 2007, as the effective 

date. 

Summary of First-Class Mail Changes 

Letter-rate First-Class Mail pieces 

with any of the nonmachinable 

characteristics in DMM 201.2.1 are 

subject to a $0.17 nonmachinable 

surcharge. Originally the Commission 

recommended the surcharge only for 

pieces weighing 1 ounce or less. 

Summary of Priority Mail Changes 

The USPS-produced flat-rate box is 

charged $8.95, not $9.15 as the 

Commission originally recommended. 

We adopt the following amendments 

to Mailing Standards of the United 

States Postal Service, Domestic Mail 

Manual (DMM), incorporated by 

reference in the Code of Federal 

Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1. 

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111

Dioxin and Dioxin-like Compounds; 

Toxic Equivalency Information; 

Community Right-To-Know Toxic 

Chemical Release Reporting 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Under section 313 of the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), EPA is 

finalizing revisions to the reporting 

requirements for the dioxin and dioxinlike compounds category. The current 

EPCRA section 313 regulations require 

facilities to report dioxin and dioxinlike compounds in units of total grams 

for the entire category, and provide a 

single generic distribution of the 

individual dioxin and dioxin-like 

compounds at the facility. The final rule 

requires that, in addition to reporting 

total gram quantities for the category, 

facilities are required to report the mass 

quantity of each individual member of 

the category. The mass quantity data for 

the individual members of the category 

will be used by EPA to perform toxic 

equivalency (TEQ) computations which 

will be made available to the public. 

TEQs are a weighted quantity measure 

based on the toxicity of each member of 

the dioxin and dioxin-like compounds 

category relative to the most toxic 

members of the category, i.e., 2,3,7,8- 

tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and 

1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. 

The final rule also eliminates the 

reporting of the single generic 

distribution for the members of the 

dioxin and dioxin-like compounds 

category. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 

9, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–HQ–TRI–2002–0001. All
