AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: This proposed rule provides the revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) that we propose to adopt in support of the new Periodicals pricing and price structure to be implemented on July 15, 2007.

Periodicals mailers will have new incentives to use efficient containers and bundles, and copalletization will become a permanent offering to encourage more publishers to combine mailings. We also add new prices for the editorial portion of a mailing to give mailers of higheditorial-content publications access to lower destination entry rates.
