POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

Overweight Items 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is 

amending Mailing Standards of the 

United States Postal Service, Domestic 

Mail Manual (DMM®) to implement a 

process to remove overweight items 

from the postal network. 

DATES: Effective Date: August 29, 2018. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lizbeth Dobbins at (202) 268–3789 or 

Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7261. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal 

Service published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking on April 20, 2018, (83 FR 

17518–17519) to amend the DMM to 

add a process, which included a fee, for 

removing overweight items that are 

found in the postal network. Items that 

exceed the 70 pound weight limit are 

nonmailable and are not provided 

service. 

The Postal Service received 2 formal 

responses to the proposed rule, one of 

which included multiple comments. 

Both responses were in agreement 

with enforcing the 70 pound weight 

restriction. However, the second 

responder had several comments, as 

follows: 

Comment: The responder felt it was 

unclear whether the fee would be 

imposed on the appropriate party, 

specifically in regards to returns. 

Response: The Postal Service is 

deferring implementation of the fee at 

this time. When the fee is implemented, 

the Postal Service expects that, in most 

instances, including returns, the fee will 

be requested of the sender. However, 

certain circumstances (e.g., when the 

sender is unknown) may require the fee 

to be requested from the receiver. 

Customers (sender, receiver) have the 

responsibility to communicate with 

each other to determine who is liable for 

the fee payment. 

Comment: The second comment 

questioned the application of the fee 

and provided a hypothetical where the 

error was a result of an inaccurate Post 

Office scale. 

Response: Post Office scales are 

calibrated daily. Customers may request 

a ‘‘sight’’ verification at the facility 

where the item was secured. 

Comment: The third comment 

questioned the $100 fee and whether it 

could be construed as a price requiring 

additional approval. 

Response: The fee determination will 

be made at a later date.

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:
