POSTAL SERVICE 

39 CFR Part 111 

Address Correction Notices for Letters 

and Flats Qualifying for Full-Service 

Intelligent Mail and Changes to Move 

Update Standards 

AGENCY: Postal Service.TM

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is 

proposing to revise Mailing Standards 

of the United States Postal Service, 

Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) to 

change the number of days that mailers 

may receive additional notices for the 

same unique change-of-address or nixie 

record through Full-Service Intelligent 

Mail® at no charge. The Postal Service 

also proposes to add new Move Update 

standards, regarding change-of-address 

orders. 

DATES: We must receive your comments 

on or before October 21, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written 

comments to the Manager, Mailing 

Standards, U.S. Postal Service, 475 

L’Enfant Plaza, SW., Room 4446, 

Washington, DC 20260–5015. You may 

inspect and photocopy all written 

comments at USPS® Headquarters 

Library, 475 L’Enfant Plaza, SW., 11th 

Floor N, Washington, DC, between 

9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 

Friday. Comments containing the name 

and address of the commenter may be 

sent by e-mail to: 

MailingStandards@usps.gov, with a 

subject line of ‘‘Address Correction 

Notice and Move Update comments.’’ 

Faxed comments are not accepted. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim 

Wilson at 901–681–4600, or Bill 

Chatfield at 202–268–7278. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal 

Service proposes to change the 

timeframe for providing address 

correction and nixie notices without 

charge for First-Class Mail®, Standard 

Mail®, and Bound Printed Matter (BPM) 

pieces that are eligible for Full-Service 

Intelligent Mail prices, and that also 

meet the applicable standards. Notices 

would be provided, without charge, for 

no longer than 95 days after the first 

notice is made available for a specific 

change-of-address or nixie notification 

for eligible Full-Service pieces mailed at 

First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, or BPM 

prices. This change will coincide with 

the current Move Update standard 

timeframe that applies to First-Class 

Mail and Standard Mail pieces. The 

Postal Service would retain the current 

60 day timeframe for Periodicals pieces. 

This proposed rule also announces 

that the online publication, Guide to 

Move Update, is the appropriate source 

for additional information about the 

policies and procedures for meeting the 

Move Update requirements. We describe 

a policy clarification to indicate that all 

changes of address, whether filed by 

customers or postal employees, are 

subject to Move Update requirements, 

but temporarily exempt certain types of 

change of address orders from Move 

Update verifications. 

Address Correction Notices 

The Postal Service provides address 

correction notices, without charge, to 

mailers participating in Full-Service 

Intelligent Mail. For Full-Service FirstClass Mail eligible pieces, mailers 

currently receive subsequent notices 

indefinitely without charge. For 

Standard Mail and Bound Printed 

Matter eligible pieces, the first notice for 

a particular change of address is 

provided without charge, and 

subsequent notices are provided 

without charge for 30 days. This 

proposed rule would standardize the 

timeframe at 95 days after the first 

notice for a specific change of address 

or nixie notification is provided, during 

which mailers would obtain subsequent 

notices without charge for Full-Service 

First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, and 

BPM full-service pieces. 

Prices for notices provided after this 

timeframe for eligible full-service pieces 

would be the prices listed in the Notice 

123, Price List under ‘‘ADDRESS 

CORRECTION SERVICE’’ as ‘‘per

Mail and Standard Mail automation 

letters, and prices listed as ‘‘per 

electronic notice issued’’ for all other 

eligible full-service pieces. 

Guide to Move Update 

The online USPS publication Guide to 

Move Update (available at 

ribbs.usps.gov) was established to 

provide general information about each 

authorized Move Update method. The 

publication was recently revised to 

provide more information on the general 

policies and procedures for complying 

with the Move Update standards, as 

well as specific information on the 

procedures and proper use of the 

authorized methods available for 

meeting the Move Update standards. It 

describes in detail the four primary and 

the two alternative Move Update 

methods available for updating mailing 

lists. 

Change-of-Address Orders 

The Postal Service clarifies that the 

Move Update standards are met by 

updating address records from 

customer-filed change-of-address (COA) 

orders and from postal-carrier-supplied 

COA orders. There are occasions when 

customers move or allow their PO 

BoxTM service to expire without 

providing a new address to redirect 

their mail. In these instances, the 

customer no longer receives mail at that 

address, and the postal carrier files 

either a ‘‘Moved Left No Address’’ 

(MLNA) or a ‘‘Box Closed No Order’’ 

(BCNO) COA order. These two types of 

COAs are included in all of the address 

change databases the Postal Service 

maintains. In order to comply with the 

Move Update standards, mailers must 

refrain from mailing to these 

undeliverable addresses once the 

effective date of the COA is older than 

95 days. 

The Postal Service understands that 

some mailers may have difficulty 

isolating MLNAs and BCNOs in their 

mailing processes. Therefore, to allow 

mailers sufficient time to modify their 

mailing systems to properly handle 

MLNA and BCNO occurrences, MLNAs 

and BCNOs with effective dates older 

than 95 days will, temporarily, not be 

classified as failures to update a COA by 

Performance Based Verification (PBV) 

Move Update verifications. Mailers will 

have one year from the date of this 

notice to make needed modifications to 

their mail processing systems. After the 

one-year grace period, MLNA/BCNO 

addresses with effective dates between 

95 days and 18 months would be graded 

by PBV verifications for commercial 

mailings of First-Class Mail and 

Standard Mail pieces as failures to 

update a COA. 

Although we are 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), we 

invite 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. 

List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111 

Administrative practice and 

procedure, Postal Service. 

Accordingly, 39 CFR part 111 is 

proposed to be amended as follows: 

PART 111—[AMENDED] 

1. The authority citation for 39 CFR 

part 111 continues to read as follows:

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

Approval and Promulgation of

Volatile Organic Compounds 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the Alabama State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the Alabama Department of 

Environmental Management (ADEM) on 

March 3, 2010. The proposed revision 

would modify the definition of ‘‘volatile 

organic compounds’’ (VOCs) found at 

Alabama Administrative Code section 

335–3–1–.02(gggg). Specifically, the 

revision would add two compounds 

(propylene carbonate and dimethyl 

carbonate) to the list of those excluded 

from the VOC definition on the basis 

that these compounds make a negligible 

contribution to tropospheric ozone 

formation. ADEM is seeking to update 

its SIP to be consistent with the federal 

rule finalized by EPA on January 21, 

2009, which excludes these compounds 

from the regulatory definition of VOC. 

This action is being taken pursuant to 

Section 110 of the Clean Air Act.
