43986 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 168 / Wednesday, August 29, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

At this time, the Postal Service is 

implementing the process for removing 

items over the 70 pound maximum 

weight limit for Priority Mail Express®, 

Priority Mail®, USPS Retail Ground®, 

Media Mail®, Library Mail, Parcel 

Select®, and Parcel Return Service. 

Hazardous materials exceeding the 

applicable maximum weight limits 

discovered in the postal network may be 

subject to a civil penalty under 39 

U.S.C. 3018. 

Once the overweight item is 

identified, it will be secured and either 

the sender or receiver will be contacted 

to pick up the item within 14 calendar 

days. An overweight item not picked up 

within the 14 calendar day timeframe 

will be considered abandoned and 

disposed of at the Postal Service’s 

discretion. Any amounts paid as 

purported postage and any fees would 

not be refundable. 

The Postal Service is still determining 

the appropriate fee. However, because 

the safety of our employees is 

paramount, the Postal Service is moving 

forward immediately with 

implementing the process for 

intercepting and holding overweight 

items for pickup by mailers, without 

assessing a fee. The Postal Service will 

publish details regarding the fee in 

another Federal Register notice, once a 

final determination on the fee has been 

made. 

This revision will ensure the safety of 

our employees while providing a superb 

customer experience from sender to 

receiver. 

The Postal Service adopts the 

following changes 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. 

We will publish an appropriate 

amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect 

these changes. 

Accordingly, 39 CFR part 111 is 

amended as follows:

for failing to comply with a collection 

of information subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act that does not display a

1201, et seq., 1202(a)) (WARN Act) gives 

the Commission authority to adopt 

relevant technical standards, protocols, 

procedures and other technical 

requirements governing Wireless 

Emergency Alert. The WARN Act also 

gives the Commission authority to adopt 

procedures by which CMS Providers 

disclose their intent to participate in 

WEA. The Commission created WEA in 

response to the WARN Act, and to 

satisfy the Commission’s mandate to 

promote the safety of life and property 

using wire and radio communication. 

These information collections involve 

the WEA system, which allows CMS 

Providers to elect to transmit emergency 

alerts to the public. The information 

collection from CMS Providers include 

(1) disclosing the extent to which a CMS 

Provider participates in wireless alerts 

(‘‘in whole’’ or ‘‘in part’’); and (2) 

enhanced notification of the CMS 

provider’s non-participation in WEA, to 

new subscribers at the point of sale. 

These disclosures will allow consumers 

to make more informed choices about 

their ability to receive WEA Alert 

Messages that are relevant to them.
