Optional Mail Preparation Standards for Flat-Size Mailpieces in 
FSS Zones

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal ServiceTM is revising the Mailing 
Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 
(DMM[supreg]) to provide optional mail preparation standards for flat-
size Standard Mail, Periodicals, and Bound Printed Matter mailpieces 
prepared for delivery within ZIP[supreg] Codes served by Flats 
Sequencing System (FSS) processing.

DATES: Effective January 2, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Hawes at 202-268-8980 or Kevin 
Gunther at 202-268-7208.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is revising the DMM to 
provide optional standards for bundle and pallet preparation of flat-
size Standard Mail, Periodicals and Bound Printed Matter mailpieces 
prepared for delivery within the ZIP Codes served by Flats Sequencing 
System (FSS) processing. FSS is a critical element in the Postal 
Service's strategic operations plan and will allow the Postal Service 
to improve delivery efficiency and control costs.
    In the 1990s the Postal Service, in an effort to control costs and 
limit postage prices, adopted technological changes designed to reduce 
the time carriers spent in the office preparing mail for delivery. The 
most notable of these changes was the implementation of Delivery Point 
Sequencing (DPS). Today, the Postal Service is now placing nearly 92 
percent of all letter-size mailpieces into delivery sequence. Similar 
to DPS processing for letters, FSS automates the sequencing of flat-
size mailpieces into delivery order, eliminating labor-intensive manual 
sortation by carriers.
    One essential change to the methods that mailers use to prepare 
flat-size mail involves the modification of bundling standards when 
mailing to delivery areas with FSS-processing capability. The Postal 
Service, as it begins to determine the best practices for optimizing 
FSS implementation and operation, encourages mailers to prepare bundles 
of flat-size mail to facilitate the efficient loading of this mail into 
the FSS machines. Efficient induction of mailpieces into FSS requires 
bundles of flats to be of equal height, in order to facilitate their 
placement into the standard containers that feed into the FSS induction 
mechanism. Preparing bundles which can be placed easily into these 
containers improves efficiency in loading containers and ensures 
stability and ease of transport of mailer-prepared containers.
    The Postal Service developed these optional preparation standards 
working with members of the mailing industry, representing a wide 
spectrum of flat mail owners and preparers. The group determined that 
the preparation of bundles and pallets specifically for FSS processing 
could lead to greater efficiencies and cost savings for both the 
USPS[supreg] and mailing industry. Industry members agreed that the 
production of uniform bundle heights could reduce the costs associated 
with preparing bundles, and that more stable pallet construction would 
improve mailer transport of the mail to drop shipment locations. In 
addition, preparing FSS scheme pallets allows for the creation of 
larger pallets, permitting the mail to move directly to the FSS mail 
prep area.
    The Postal Service is also providing advance notice that FSS-based 
mail preparation requirements will become mandatory in the future; 
however we are currently not proposing a timeline for their 
implementation.
    With this revision, mailers will have the option to prepare 
separate mailings of Standard Mail[supreg], Periodicals, and Bound 
Printed Matter barcoded flats, including some barcoded nonmachinable 
Periodicals flats capable of being processed by FSS, into one or more 
of the following pallet-level separations:
    1. A 5-digit FSS-scheme ZIP Code combination (including one or more 
5-digit ZIP Codes);
    2. FSS facility sort (all 5-digit FSS-scheme ZIP Code combinations 
processed within the same facility); or
    3. A sectional center facility (SCF) with FSS capability, when 
combined on pallets with flat-size mailpieces not intended for FSS 
processing.
    Mailers choosing to prepare flats for delivery to FSS zones, using 
this option, will place qualifying mailpieces from all price categories 
into a separate combined pool for each individual 5-digit FSS-scheme 
combination. Mailers will then prepare bundles of uniform size from the 
pieces in the pool. Bundles must be identified as a 5-digit scheme 
presort with an optional endorsement line (OEL) under 708.7.0. OELs 
used under this option may be applied to the top piece of each bundle, 
unless otherwise required to be placed on each piece by other 
standards. All pieces for each combined mailpiece pool must be prepared 
in bundles of similar height (3 inches minimum to 6.5 inches maximum), 
secured according to current bundling standards. Except for one 
overflow bundle that may be under the minimum height, all bundles 
within each mailpiece pool must be of uniform size. Though we will 
allow overflow bundles, we encourage ``leveling'' (adjusting bundle 
heights within a presort destination to avoid overflow bundles) of the 
bundles within each mailpiece pool. The counter-stacking (rotating 
groups of mailpieces within a bundle 180 degrees from the preceding and 
succeeding group) of mailpieces within bundles is not being addressed 
as a part of these optional standards, and mailers may continue this 
practice in accordance with current standards. In the future, the 
Postal Service may require that mailpieces not be counter-stacked 
within bundles when being prepared for FSS processing, but no decision 
on this potential requirement has been made.
    Bundles must be placed on pallets to form layers of consistent 
thickness; and bundles of nonuniform thickness must be counter-stacked 
on pallets in accordance with current standards. Pallets must be 
prepared and labeled as described in DMM 705.8.0, with a pallet placard 
bearing an Intelligent Mail container barcode as described in 
708.6.6.0.
    Mailpieces that meet the current eligibility standards for basic 
and high density carrier route prices will continue to be eligible for 
these prices when prepared in accordance with the FSS optional 
preparation standards. Saturation price Standard Mail and Periodicals 
carrier route flats are not eligible for preparation under this option. 
The sequencing of mailpieces within carrier route bundles is not 
required or recommended when

[[Page 51669]]

preparing FSS bundles. All other mailpieces will be eligible for the 
applicable 5-digit automation or non-automation price.
    To improve FSS processing, the Postal Service recommends that 
mailpieces be randomized within each bundle (i.e. within bundles, 
randomly arrange pieces regardless of price category) comprising each 
5-digit FSS scheme as defined in labeling list L006.
    The 5-digit Outside-County bundle charge will be assessed on 
bundles of Outside-County Periodicals prepared in accordance with these 
standards, even though mailpieces being claimed at the carrier route 
piece price may be properly placed within these bundles. FSS 5-digit 
scheme pallets will be assessed the Outside-County container charge 
applicable to the 3-digit level pallet, and FSS facility sort level 
pallets will be charged a container price applicable to the SCF pallet.
    The Postal Service adopts the following changes to Mailing 
Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 
(DMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.

14.1 General

    Flat-size automation and carrier route mailpieces, including 
barcoded nonmachinable Periodicals pieces, may be optionally 
consolidated and prepared on pallets for delivery within individual 5-
digit Flats Sequencing Systems (FSS) scheme ZIP Code combinations; 
multiple 5-digit FSS scheme ZIP Code combinations within the same 
facility; or to a sectional center facility (SCF) with FSS processing, 
when combined with flat-size mailpieces not intended for FSS 
processing. Mailers using this option will place qualifying mailpieces 
from all price categories into a separate combined pool for each 
individual 5-digit FSS-scheme combination. Mailers will then prepare 
bundles of uniform size from the pieces in the pool. Mailpieces that 
meet the eligibility standards for 5-digit automation prices, the Bound 
Printed Matter barcode discount, or basic and high density carrier 
route prices will continue to be eligible for these prices when 
prepared in accordance with the FSS optional preparation standards. 
Saturation price Standard Mail and Periodicals carrier route flats are 
not eligible for preparation under this option. Mailpieces and bundles 
must also be prepared as follows:
    a. Bundles for all FSS sort plans must be identified as a 5-digit 
scheme presort through the use of an optional endorsement line under 
708.7.0.
    b. All pieces placed into an FSS pool must be barcoded. Automation 
and carrier route pieces must bear an

[[Page 51670]]

accurate delivery point Intelligent Mail barcode or POSTNET barcode 
including a fully populated routing code field (11 digits).

randomized within the 5-digit FSS-scheme ZIP Code combinations or FSS 
sort plan schemes as defined by L006 (i.e. within bundles, randomly 
arrange pieces regardless of price category). Any piece prepared for a 
specific 5-digit scheme ZIP Code combination may be placed in the 
bundles of flats of uniform height.
    f. ``Leveling'' (adjusting bundle heights within a presort 
destination to avoid overflow bundles) of the bundles within each 
mailpiece pool is encouraged.
    g. Except for one overflow bundle that may be under the minimum 
size, all bundles within each mailpiece pool must be of uniform size.
    h. Bundles must be placed on pallets to form layers of consistent 
thickness; and bundles of uneven thickness must be counter-stacked on 
pallets in accordance with 8.5.8.
