BILLING CODE 7710–12–P 

POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

New Mailing Standards for Domestic 

Mailing Services Products 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2021 the Postal 

Service (USPS®) filed a notice of 

mailing services price adjustments with 

the Postal Regulatory Commission 

(PRC), effective August 29, 2021. This 

proposed rule contains the revisions to 

Mailing Standards of the United States 

Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 

(DMM®) that we would adopt to 

implement the changes coincident with 

the price adjustments. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

July 6, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written 

comments to the Manager, Product 

Classification, U.S. Postal Service, 475 

L’Enfant Plaza SW, Room 4446, 

Washington, DC 20260–5015. If sending 

comments by email, include the name 

and address of the commenter and send 

to PCFederalRegister@usps.gov, with a 

subject line of ‘‘August 2021 Domestic 

Mailing Services Proposal.’’ Faxed 

comments are not accepted. You may 

inspect and photocopy all written 

comments, by appointment only, at 

USPS® Headquarters Library, 475 

L’Enfant Plaza SW, 11th Floor North, 

Washington, DC 20260. All submitted 

comments and attachments are part of 

the public record and subject to 

disclosure. Do not enclose any material 

in your comments that you consider to 

be confidential or inappropriate for 

public disclosure. 

These records are available for review 

on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.–4 

p.m., by calling 202–268–2906. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jacqueline Erwin at (202) 268–2158, or 

Dale Kennedy at (202) 268–6592. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed 

prices will be available under Docket 

No. R2021–2 on the Postal Regulatory 

Commission’s website at www.prc.gov. 

The Postal Service’s proposed rule 

includes: Changes to prices, mail 

classification updates, product 

simplification efforts, and a few minor 

revisions to the DMM. 

Direct Pallet Discount for Marketing 

Mail High Density Flats 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

offer additional discounts to move 

additional USPS Marketing Mail High 

Density flats to direct pallets. 

Flat shaped pieces on direct pallets 

are operationally desirable, pallets can 

be directly cross docked to the 

Destination Delivery Units (DDUs). 

These pallets consist of Carrier Route 

and finer sorted bundles such as High 

Density, High Density Plus, and 

Saturation. The nature of their make-up 

allows the Postal Service to avoid 

moving these pallets to bundle sorters 

within the plant, sorting the bundles, 

and moving these bundles back to the 

dock to be transported to the DDU. 

First-Class Mail Nonautomation Letters 

Change 

Currently, the rate structure for all 

nonautomation letters only offers one 

price for machinable and 

nonmachinable letters and a 

nonmachinable surcharge for pieces that 

are nonmachinable. 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

offer two prices for machinable letters, 

AADC and Mixed AADC; and three 

prices for nonmachinable letters, 5-digit, 

3-digit, and Mixed ADC. This structural 

change will reduce revenue at risk and 

better align prices for customers mailing 

nonautomation letters, machinable and 

nonmachinable. This change will also 

eliminate the nonmachinable surcharge 

applicable to nonautomation presort 

letters. 

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 comments 

on the following proposed revisions 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 

111.1. 

We will publish an appropriate 

amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect 

these changes if our proposal is 

adopted.
