material in your comments that you 

consider to be confidential or 

inappropriate for public disclosure. 

Currently, the standards in DMM 

sections 235 and 245 require mailers of 

First Class Mail and USPS Marketing 

Mail flats to make a 5-digit, 3-digit, and 

ADC bundle and tray preparation. 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

amend the standards in DMM sections 

235 and 245 to make the 5-digit, 3-digit, 

and ADC preparation ‘‘optional’’ when 

preparing bundles and trays of First 

Class Mail and USPS Marketing Mail 

flats. 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

implement this change effective May 1, 

2025. 

We believe that the proposed 

revisions will encourage mailers to 

create full flat trays of flat mail and will 

reduce the volume of bundles entered 

into the mailstream. 

Although exempt from the notice and 

comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(b), (c)) regarding proposed 

rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the 

Postal Service invites public comment 

on the proposed revisions to Mailing 

Standards of the United States Postal 

Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), 

incorporated by reference in the Code of 

Federal Regulations. 

We will publish an appropriate 

amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect 

these changes. 

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Postal Service. 

Accordingly, the Postal Service 

proposes 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
