BILLING CODE 4910–15–P 

POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

New Automation Requirements for 

Detached Addressed Labels 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: To make Detached Address 

Labels (DALs) accompanying saturation 

mailings of Periodicals or Standard 

Mail® flats more compatible with our 

processing equipment, they must be 

automation-compatible and have a 

correct delivery point POSTNET(tm) 

barcode or Intelligent Mail® barcode 

with an 11-digit routing code. This 

requirement does not apply to DALs 

with simplified addresses. Also, for 

consistency, we are requiring return 

addresses on DALs. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 2, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Monica Grein at 202–268–8411. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

27, 2008, we published a proposed rule 

in the Federal Register (Volume 73, 

Number 167, pages 50584–50585), 

requiring DALs to be automationcompatible and bear a delivery point 

barcode when used with saturation 

mailings of Periodicals or Standard Mail 

flats. 

Except for DALs prepared with 

simplified addresses, all DALs 

accompanying saturation mailings of 

Periodicals or Standard Mail flats must 

be automation-compatible and have a 

correct delivery point POSTNET 

barcode or Intelligent Mail barcode with 

an 11-digit routing code. Automationcompatible and barcoded DALs may be 

processed in a manner that is more 

consistent with today’s operating 

environment. 

We suggest that mailers work with the 

local Postal Service mailpiece design 

analyst (MDA) to ensure that all DALs 

accompanying saturation mailings of 

Periodicals or Standard Mail flats meet 

the new standards. Saturation flats 

mailings presented with DALs that are 

not automation-compatible and 

barcoded will not qualify for saturation 

prices but may be entered at the basic 

carrier route price for Periodicals 

mailings or the basic Enhanced Carrier 

Route price for Standard Mail mailings. 

We received comments from five 

respondents on the proposal: two from 

a mailer association, two from mailers 

that use DALs, and one from a USPS®

postmaster. 

Comments 

One commenter suggested that to 

reduce costs further we should 

eliminate the use of DALs altogether, or 

also apply the automation requirements 

to DALs prepared with simplified 

addresses. Eliminating the use of DALs 

or requiring saturation mailers to 

physically apply addresses directly on 

each mailpiece may cause undue 

hardship for some mailers. We 

determined that such a requirement 

would be difficult for small local 

mailers sending saturation mailings to 

rural or highway contract routes and 

perhaps cause them to stop using the 

mail. We concluded that these 

additional changes were not in the best 

interest of the Postal Service or our 

customers. 

One commenter requested DALs be 

allowed for Periodicals and Standard 

Mail ECR high-density mailings. This 

request is outside the scope of this rule. 

One commenter expressed concern 

about the added cost of preparing an 

automation-compatible DAL. We 

considered the implications for our 

customers, and note that the use of 

DALs is an option in most instances. We 

continue to encourage customers to 

move to on-piece addressing rather than 

use DALs. Incidentally, on June 7, 2007, 

at the request of many mailers, we 

revised our standards to allow 

advertising on the front of DALs, 

provided that the DALs were barcoded 

and automation-compatible (see Postal 

Bulletin 22208 and DMM(r) 602.4.2.5.b). 

This change provided mailers with the 

ability to offset the DAL surcharge, 

implemented in May 2007, with new 

opportunities for advertising revenue. 

One commenter requested we extend 

the use of simplified addresses to city 

route deliveries. This request is outside 

the scope of this final rule. 

One commenter expressed concerns 

about continuing to enter DALs at 

destination delivery units (DDUs) while 

remaining eligible for DDU prices for 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 2867 

flats. Although DALS are letter-size, 

they are allowed to be entered at DDUs 

when they accompany either flats or 

parcels. This final rule does not propose 

to change the current standards that 

allow the DALs to be dropped at the 

DDU and does not change price 

eligibility for flats. 

The Postal Service adopts the 

following changes to Mailing Standards 

of the United States Postal Service, 

Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), which is 

incorporated by reference in the Code of 

Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1. 

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Postal Service. 

■ Accordingly, 39 CFR 111 is amended 

as follows: 

PART 111—[AMENDED] 

■ 1. The authority citation for 39 CFR 

Part 111 continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552(a); 39 U.S.C. 101, 

401, 403, 404, 414, 416, 3001–3011, 3201– 

3219, 3403–3406, 3621, 3622, 3626, 3632, 

3633, and 5001. 

2. Revise the following sections of 

Mailing Standards of the United States 

Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 

(DMM), as follows: 

* * * * * 

600 Basic Standards for All Mailing 

Services 

* * * * * 

602 Addressing 

1.0 Elements of Addressing 

* * * * * 

1.5 Return Addresses 

* * * * * 

1.5.3 Required Use of Return 

Addresses 

The sender’s domestic return address 

must appear legibly on: 

* * * * * 

[Revise text of 1.5.3 to add new item 

m as follows:] 

m. Detached addressed labels (DALs). 

* * * * * 

4.0 Detached Address Labels (DALs) 

4.1 DAL Use 

* * * * * 

4.1.2 Periodicals or Standard Mail 

Flats Saturation Mailings 

[Revise text of 4.1.2 to require that 

DALs accompanying saturation 

mailings of Periodicals or Standard Mail 

flats be automation-compatible as 

follows:] 

Saturation mailings of unaddressed 

Periodicals or Standard Mail flats may 

be mailed with detached address labels 

(DALs). DALs accompanying saturation 

mailings of Periodicals or Standard Mail 

flats must be automation-compatible 

under 201.3.0. This standard does not 

apply to DALs with simplified 

addressing. For this standard, saturation 

mailing means a mailing sent to at least 

75% of the total addresses on a carrier 

route or 90% of the residential 

addresses on a route, whichever is less. 

Deliveries are not required to every 

carrier route of a delivery unit. 

Saturation flats mailings presented with 

DALs that are not automationcompatible and barcoded do not qualify 

for saturation prices but may be entered 

at the basic carrier route price for 

Periodicals mailings or the basic 

Enhanced Carrier Route price for 

Standard Mail mailings. 

* * * * * 

4.2 Label Preparation 

4.2.1 Label Construction 

Each DAL must be made of paper or 

cardboard stock that is not folded, 

perforated, or creased, and that meets 

these measurements: 

[Revise text of 4.2.1 to modify item c 

and add new item d and new item e as 

follows:] 

* * * * * 

c. At least .007 inch thick except 

under 4.2.1.d. 

d. If more than 41⁄4 inches high or 

more than 6 inches long, must be at 

least 0.009 inch thick. 

e. Must have an aspect ratio (length 

divided by height) from 1.3 to 2.5, 

inclusive. 

4.2.2 Addressing 

[Revise text of 4.2.2 by deleting the 

current last sentence in its entirety and 

adding a new last sentence to require a 

POSTNET or Intelligent Mail barcode 

with a delivery point routing code as 

follows:] 

* * * In addition, if DALs 

accompany saturation mailings of 

Periodicals or Standard Mail flats, a 

correct delivery point POSTNET 

barcode or Intelligent Mail barcode with 

an 11-digit routing code must be 

included (see 708.4) except when using 

a simplified address.
