IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On December 20, 2024, pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3040.130 et 

seq., the Postal Service filed a request to 

remove Bound Printed Matter Flats 

(BPM Flats) and Bound Printed Matter 

Parcels (BPM Parcels) from the Market 

Dominant Product List.1 To support this 

request, the Postal Service filed a copy 

of the Governors’ Decision supporting 

the request, a Certification by a Postal 

Service official attesting to the accuracy 

of the factual information appearing in 

the request, and proposed changes to 

the Mail Classification Schedule (MCS). 

See BPM Removal Request, Attachments 

A–C. 

Also on December 20, 2024, pursuant 

to 39 U.S.C. 3682 and 39 CFR 3040.211, 

the Postal Service filed a notice of a set 

of changes to raise the weight limits for 

USPS Marketing Mail Parcels and for 

flat-shaped mailpieces within three 

USPS Marketing Mail products (High 

Density and Saturation Flats/Parcels, 

Carrier Route, and Flats.2 The Postal 

Service filed a copy of its proposed 

changes to the MCS for three of those 

four affected products. See Marketing 

Mail Weight Limit Notice, Attachment 

A. 

II. Proposal 

Effective no earlier than July 2025, the 

Postal Service proposes to remove two 

products, BPM Flats and BPM Parcels, 

from the Market Dominant Product List. 

See BPM Removal Request at 2–3. The 

Postal Service states that BPM Flats and 

BPM Parcels containing catalogs, 

promotional material, or other 

advertising material may then be sent as 

USPS Marketing Mail. See id. at 2. The 

Postal Service explains that BPM Flats 

and BPM Parcels containing books may 

not be sent as USPS Marketing Mail 

because that class excludes order 

fulfillment.3 Thus, the Postal Service 

states that such books may be sent as 

Package Services Media Mail/Library 

Mail or by using Competitive products 

such as USPS Ground Advantage. See 

BPM Removal Request at 2. If removed, 

the Package Services class will contain 

only two products, Alaska Bypass 

Service and Media Mail/Library Mail. 

Id. at 1. The Postal Service asserts that 

it has provided all information required 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3040.131 and 

3040.132 and includes Table 3 to serve 

as a table of contents for a reader to 

locate the information. See id. at 3–4. 

Concurrent with the proposed 

removal described above, the Postal 

Service also proposes raising the weight 

limits for certain USPS Marketing Mail 

products to: 15 pounds for Parcels, 24 

ounces for flat-shaped mailpieces 

within High Density and Saturation 

Flats/Parcels, 24 ounces for flat-shaped 

mailpieces within Carrier Route, and 20 

ounces for Flats. See Marketing Mail 

Weight Limit Notice at 1. The weight 

limit for letter-shaped mailpieces within 

USPS Marketing Mail will remain at less 

than 16 ounces (15.999 ounces). See 

BPM Removal Request at 2. 

III. Administrative Actions 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. MC2025–948 to consider matters 

raised by the BPM Removal Request and 

Docket No. MC2025–958 to consider 

matters raised by the Marketing Mail 

Weight Limit Notice. See 39 CFR 

3040.133, 3040.211(b). The instant 

dockets involve related issues 

pertaining to product consolidation and 

the Postal Service does not object to 

consolidation of the dockets. See 

Marketing Mail Weight Limit Notice at 

1. Accordingly, the Commission will 

consolidate them. See 39 CFR 3010.104. 

The Commission invites comments on 

the BPM Removal Request and the 

Marketing Mail Weight Limit Notice. 

Comments are due no later than 

February 7, 2025. The filings can be 

accessed via the Commission’s website 

(https://www.prc.gov). In accordance 

with 39 CFR 3040.211(a)(1), the Postal 

Service is directed to file its proposed
