POSTAL SERVICE
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.
SUMMARY:
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.

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.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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
E:\FR\FM\21SEP1.SGM
21SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 21, 2010 / Proposed Rules

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

AGENCY:
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.

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[supreg], Standard Mail[supreg], 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 First-Class 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
[[Page 57411]]
automated notice issued'' for First-Class 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.
