Sloop Channel, mile 15.4, at Jones 

Beach, New York, has a vertical 

clearance in the closed position of 16 

feet at mean high water and 19.5 feet at 

mean low water. The existing bridge 

operating regulations are found at 33 

CFR 117.5. 

The waterway is transited by seasonal 

recreational vessels of various sizes. 

The bridge owner, New York State 

Parks, Recreation and Historic 

Preservation, requested a temporary 

deviation from the normal operating 

schedule to facilitate public safety 

during the annual Jones Beach Park’s

Under this temporary deviation, the 

Wantagh State Parkway Bridge may 

remain in the closed position between 

4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on May 23 and 

May 24, 2015. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessel traffic. The vertical clearance 

under the bridge is 16 feet at mean high 

water and 19.5 feet at mean low water. 

The bridge may be opened in the event 

of an emergency. 

The Coast Guard will inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridges so that vessels can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 51 / Tuesday, March 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 13767 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Burlington 

Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway 

requested this deviation to facilitate the 

installation of new rail joints on the lift 

span. BNSF has scheduled this 

installation to coincide with the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers lock outages 

on the Columbia River. The Celilo 

Bridge crosses the Columbia River at 

mile 201.2 and provides 18.8 feet of 

vertical clearance above Columbia River 

Datum 0.0 while in the closed position. 

Under normal operations, this bridge 

opens as required by 33 CFR 117.869. 

The deviation period is from 7 a.m. to 

3 p.m. daily on March 9, 2015 through 

March 13, 2015. This deviation allows 

the lift span of the BNSF Railway Bridge 

across the Columbia River, mile 201.2, 

to remain in the closed-to-navigation 

position, and need not open for 

maritime traffic during the periods 

listed above. The bridge shall operate in 

accordance to 33 CFR 117.869 at all 

other times. Waterway usage on this 

part of the Columbia River includes 

vessels ranging from commercial tug 

and barge to small pleasure craft. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed positions may do so 

at anytime. The BNSF Railway Bridge 

will not be able to open for emergencies, 

and there is no immediate alternate 

route for vessels to pass. The Coast 

Guard will also inform the users of the 

waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessels can arrange their 

transits to minimize any impact caused 

by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

Clarification of Content Eligibility for 

Standard Mail Marketing Parcels 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is revising 

Mailing Standards of the United States 

Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual to 

(DMM®) to reaffirm basic eligibility 

standards for Standard Mail Marketing 

Parcels. 

DATES: Effective date: April 16, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lizbeth Dobbins at 202–268–3789, John 

F. Rosato at 202–268–8597, or Suzanne 

Newman at 202–695–0550. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Proposed Rule 

The Postal Service published a 

proposed rule (80 FR 1872–1873) on 

January 14, 2015, with a comment 

period ending February 13, 2015, to 

recertify the definition of Standard Mail 

Marketing Parcels, remind customers 

about the basic eligibility and address 

format standards, and ensure 

compliance with the rule that this 

product line not be used for fulfillment. 

Background: Previously the Postal 

Service published standards for the use 

of the Marketing Parcel product which 

limited its use to non-fulfillment 

activity. We affirmed that definition in 

Postal Bulletin 22327 (December 29, 

2011), and reaffirmed it in Postal 

Bulletin 22406 (January 8, 2015). 

Specifically, Standard Mail Marketing 

Parcels were designed for mailers to 

send non-requested items or samples to 

potential customers. Our intent was to 

build a low cost prospecting vehicle; 

therefore, the Postal Service built in 

factors to minimize handling costs. One 

factor, the alternative addressing format, 

was required so that the current resident 

became the recipient of the mailpiece if 

the named addressee moved from that 

address. This avoided extra delivery and 

forwarding costs. Another factor was the 

specification of size restrictions, 

including the requirement that pieces 

needed to be similar in shape and 

weight if sent in a single mailing. 

Building upon the original intent, and 

to keep this product a viable and costeffective promotional vehicle, we are 

adding stronger language to the DMM 

on content eligibility and address format 

for Standard Mail Marketing Parcels. 

This includes clarification that all 

Standard Mail Marketing Parcels 

(regular and nonprofit) must bear an 

alternate addressing format and cannot 

be used for ‘‘fulfillment purposes’’ (i.e. 

the sending of items specifically 

purchased or requested by the customer 

of a mailer). The one exception to this 

rule is if the customer of a mailer elects 

to receive certain samples in connection 

with the purchase of an item, those 

samples may be sent separately from the 

purchased item as a Standard Mail 

Marketing Parcel. Moreover, the 

alternate address format must be on the 

same line as the addressee’s name, or on 

the address line directly above or below 

the addressee’s name as identified in 

DMM 602.3.4. 

II. Comments and Responses 

We received feedback from five 

commenters, who raised three distinct 

issues. 

(1) Statement: One commenter had no 

issues with the definition and wondered 

why it was an issue. 

Response: It came to the attention of 

the Postal Service that this product was 

being improperly used for fulfillment, 

since it was so inexpensive. 

(2) Statement: Four commenters 

stated they had no issue with the 

content eligibility requirement but 

requested that a ‘‘grace’’ period be 

established to give them time to adjust 

their business models. 

Response: The Postal Service 

appreciates that some customers may 

have misused the product, as designed, 

and appreciates the challenges of 

adjusting business models. Therefore 

the Postal Service will review requests 

for a ‘‘grace period’’ on a case by case 

basis. 

(3) Statement: Three commenters 

requested additional time to adjust their 

existing contract agreements. 

Response: As stated above, the Postal 

Service will review requests for a ‘‘grace 

period’’ on a case by case basis. 

The Postal Service appreciates the 

forthrightness of the commenters in 

explaining how they do business using 

this product. In response to these 

concerns, the Postal Service has 

determined that it is appropriate to relax 

the proposed rule in one respect. Since 

the samples will not be required to be 

identical in weight, if a customer elects 

to receive certain samples in connection 

with the purchase of an item, those 

samples may be sent separately from the 

purchased item as a Standard Mail 

Marketing Parcel as long as the 

transactions are linked.
