Plus Pricing
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Postal Service is
implementing new price marking

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
3, 2009, the Postal Service published a
Federal Register proposed rule (Volume
74, Number 63, pages 15226–15227)
inviting comments on a revision to
require price markings on Express Mail
and Priority Mail pieces mailed at
commercial base and commercial plus
prices. We received two sets of
comments. After reviewing those
comments, and upon further
consideration of the proposed revisions,
the Postal Service has decided to adopt
the proposed regulations with no
revisions.
As noted in the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of the proposed
rule, the Postal Service is revising the
Mailing Standards of the United States
Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM®) to require price markings on
Express Mail and Priority Mail pieces
mailed at the commercial base or the
commercial plus prices. The new
markings will help us determine which
price was applied to these pieces, and
verify that the pieces qualify for the
price claimed. The markings must
appear on pieces paid by any means
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:15 Jul 14, 2009
except permit imprint or Express Mail
Corporate Account.
Under this final rule, mailers must
print or produce as part of the meter
imprint or PC Postage® indicia—
‘‘Commercial Base Price,’’ ‘‘Commercial
Base Pricing,’’ or ‘‘ComBasPrice,’’ for
pieces paid at the Commercial Base
price; and ‘‘Commercial Plus Price,’’
‘‘Commercial Plus Pricing,’’ or
‘‘ComPlsPrice’’ for pieces paid at the
Commercial Plus price. The appropriate
marking must appear directly above,
directly below, or to the left of the
postage.
Jkt 217001
The Postal Service received two sets
of comments. Both of the comments
suggested that the Postal Service allow
the markings ‘‘Express CBP’’ and
‘‘Priority CBP.’’ We have decided not to
add these markings to the list of
acceptable price markings because
‘‘Priority Mail’’ and ‘‘Express Mail’’ are
trademarks owned by the Postal Service
for expedited delivery services and
expedited delivery packaging. The use
of an incomplete trademark, i.e., the
single words ‘‘Priority’’ or ‘‘Express’’ on
‘‘Priority Mail’’ pieces or ‘‘Express
Mail’’ pieces is unacceptable to the
Postal Service.
One commenter also asked that we
extend our effective date past the 90
days we proposed. Even though the
Postal Service thinks 90 days is
sufficient time to conform to this rule,
mailers requiring additional time may
submit a request for an exception to the
Manager, Mailing Standards. Requests
will be evaluated based on the
circumstances of the individual mailer’s
progress towards transition.
The Postal Service adopts the
following changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), which
is incorporated by reference in the Code
of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR
111.1.

SUMMARY: The Postal Service is implementing new price marking
requirements on Express Mail[supreg] and Priority Mail[supreg] pieces
mailed at commercial base and commercial plus prices. The new markings
are needed to fulfill our revenue reporting and revenue assurance
requirements.
DATES: Effective Date: November 2, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 3, 2009, the Postal Service
published a Federal Register proposed rule (Volume 74, Number 63, pages
15226-15227) inviting comments on a revision to require price markings
on Express Mail and Priority Mail pieces mailed at commercial base and
commercial plus prices. We received two sets of comments. After
reviewing those comments, and upon further consideration of the
proposed revisions, the Postal Service has decided to adopt the
proposed regulations with no revisions.
As noted in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the proposed
rule, the Postal Service is revising the Mailing Standards of the

require price markings on Express Mail and Priority Mail pieces mailed
at the commercial base or the commercial plus prices. The new markings
will help us determine which price was applied to these pieces, and
verify that the pieces qualify for the price claimed. The markings must

Under this final rule, mailers must print or produce as part of the

Commercial Base price; and ``Commercial Plus Price,'' ``Commercial Plus

Evaluation of Comments Received
The Postal Service received two sets of comments. Both of the
comments suggested that the Postal Service allow the markings ``Express

to the list of acceptable price markings because ``Priority Mail'' and
``Express Mail'' are trademarks owned by the Postal Service for
expedited delivery services and expedited delivery packaging. The use
of an incomplete trademark, i.e., the single words ``Priority'' or
``Express'' on ``Priority Mail'' pieces or ``Express Mail'' pieces is
unacceptable to the Postal Service.

sufficient time to conform to this rule, mailers requiring additional
