**POSTAL SERVICE**

**39 CFR Part 111**

**New Mailing Standards for Domestic Mailing Services Products** 

**AGENCY :**  Postal ServiceTM

. **ACTION :**  Final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  In October 2012, the Postal Service filed a notice of mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), effective in January 2013. This final rule contains the revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM ®) that we will adopt to implement the changes coincident with the price adjustments.

**DATES :**  Effective date: January 27, 2013.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Bill Chatfield, 202–268–7278. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Prices will be available under Docket Number R2013–1 on the Postal Regulatory Commission’s Web site at www.prc.gov. The Postal Service’s final rule includes a summary of comments received and responses to those comments, several mail classification changes, modifications to mailpiece characteristics, and changes in classification terminology.

Comments Summary

The Postal Service received nine formal responses to our proposed rule as comments, two of which included comments about more than one issue. There were three responses by mailers, two by vendors, and four by associations. Changes to Proposed Revisions

One comment by an association requested that the USPS TM withdraw a proposed change that would limit the extrusion of an insert; that change has been withdrawn. Three comments regarding wrappers on Periodicals requested that the proposed change to require a return address on all copies with wrappers be limited to opaque wrappers; that change has been modified to only apply to opaque
wrappers. Clarifications

It was requested that we clarify that the minimum number of 300 pieces per route and the rule that multiple pieces per delivery address can count toward the new high density plus prices will apply to both Standard Mail ® letters and flats; that will be the case.

It was requested that we clarify the names for Standard Mail parcels. There will be Marketing parcels, mailable at presorted (noncarrier route) prices. There will continue to be irregular and machinable parcels mailable only at Nonprofit prices. Carrier route parcels will be called Product Samples (or Simple Samples).

One response questioned if the new handling charges for inbound First-Class Mail ® will apply to First-Class Mail nonmachinable letters. Nonmachinable letters are not authorized for this entry. The Postal Service’s current plan is for the handling charge to apply only to First-Class Mail Machinable Letters, Single-Piece Postcards, Single-Piece Flats, and Parcels under an authorization arrangement between the Postal Service and a foreign postal operator.
