39 CFR Part 111

New Mailing Standards for Domestic Mailing Services Products

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 6, 2017, the Postal Service (USPSsupreg) filed a notice of mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) in Docket No. R2018-1. On October 13, 2017 the Postal Service published a proposed rule containing the revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMMsupreg) that we planned to adopt to implement rule changes coincident with the price adjustments.

DATES: Effective: January 21, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Erwin at (202) 268-2158, or Lizbeth Dobbins at (202) 268-3789.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 9, 2017, the PRC found that the price adjustments proposed by the Postal Service may take effect as planned. The price adjustments and DMM revisions are scheduled to become effective on January 21, 2018. Final prices are available under Docket No. R2018-1 (Order No. 4215) on the Postal Regulatory Commission's Web site at www.prc.gov. The Postal Service's final rule includes: a change to the pallet preparation for Carrier Route (CR) Pallets in Non-FSS Zones, a change to add Bound Printed Matter Flats up to 24 ounces to comail with USPS Marketing Mail and Periodicals (DSCF or DDU only), and a Zone chart revision for Priority Mail to APO/FPO/

DPO processing at Chicago ISC.

Comments on Proposed Changes and USPS Response

The Postal Service received 1 formal comment on the October 13, 2017 proposed rule.

Zone Charts Revision: Priority Mail to APO/FPO/DPO Processing at Chicago ISC

One comment requested that the Postal Service reconsider changing APO/FPO/DPO mail processing at Chicago ISC, based on needing more study on negative, financial consequences on US Service members, their families and businesses that serve them.

USPS Response

The Postal Service is revising Zone charts for Priority Mail to APO/FPO/DPO, which is processed at the Chicago ISC, based on operational needs. This revision reflects current operations and is consistent with Title 39 and former Postal Rate Commission precedent regarding the alignment of rates and costs for mail classification. It is necessary to align rates and costs for Priority Mail addressed to APO/FPO/DPO destinations, and eliminate inconsistencies between rates and costs for such Priority Mail.

The Proposed Rule is not a sudden, unforeseeable change in policy. The transfer of processing operations to the Chicago ISC, and the resulting inconsistency between Zone classification and transportation costs, occurred in 2013. For over three years, mailers had an opportunity to assess the potential impact of this change on future operations, and some businesses responded to the change by relocating their operations in anticipation of a potential reclassification of zones necessary to align rates and costs.

The resulting changes to DMM 608 are shown below.
