at mean low water in the closed
position. The existing drawbridge
operating regulations are listed at 33

The waterway is predominantly used
by commercial operators.

In addition, the painting operation
work will necessitate several bridge
closures of short duration to erect and
relocate containment. The exact times
for these closures are not known at this
time because it is predicated upon the
speed of the painting process. As a
result, the Coast Guard will publish a
notice in the Local Notice to Mariners
two-weeks in advance of each closure as
well as issue a safety information
broadcast twenty-four hours prior to the
commencement of each closure.
Under this temporary deviation a twohour advance notice for bridge openings
shall be required from April 1, 2011
through July 31, 2011, by calling the
number posted at the bridge. Further,
several bridge closures of short duration
will be implemented. The exact bridge
closure dates will be published in the
Local Notice to Mariners two weeks in
advance of each bridge closure and
safety broadcasts will be issued twentyfour hours in advance. Vessels able to
pass under the closed draw may do so
at any time.
Waterway users were advised of the
advance notice requirement and the
requested bridge closures. No objections
were received.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the bridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the designated time period. This
deviation from the operating regulations
is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

New Mailing Standards for Domestic
Mailing Services
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service will revise
Mailing Standards of the United States
Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM®) to revise pricing and eligibility
standards for commercial First-Class
Mail® parcels associated with the
January 2011 Postal Service filing with
the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC)
for Mailing Services. We also will
implement changes previously proposed
to eliminate the sale of Standard Mail®
stamped envelopes.
DATES: Effective April 17, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Marc McCrery at 202–268–2704 or Bill
Chatfield at 202–268–7278.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9,
2010, the Postal Service published a
Federal Register proposed rule, New
Standards for Domestic Mailing Services
(75 FR 39477–39492), based on a
previous price filing with the PRC that
was not implemented. In that proposal,
we included the elimination of Standard
Mail (including nonprofit) stamped
envelopes. We received no comments
on that proposal or on the proposal to
establish a separate commercial singlepiece price for certain First-Class Mail
parcels.
SUMMARY:
First-Class Mail Parcels
The Postal Service will establish a
separate price category for commercial
single-piece First-Class Mail parcels.
Currently, mailers who presort a
minimum of 500 First-Class Mail
parcels pay single-piece prices for the
residual portion of a presorted mailing
after sorting to all required area
distribution centers (ADCs). We also
currently allow non-presort mailers
access to those prices, with no volume
minimum per mailing.
Commercial Base
Mailers will be able to pay
commercial single-piece First-Class Mail
prices for their parcels when they pay
postage by any of the following three
methods: Permit imprint, informationbased indicia (IBI) meters, or PC
Postage®. Parcels with IBI-metered
postage or PC postage, claiming a
presorted price or the new commercial
single-piece parcel price, must be
marked ‘‘CommercialBasePrice’’ in
addition to the First-Class Mail marking.
Presorted parcels also must be marked
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
‘‘Presorted.’’ The ‘‘CommercialBasePrice’’
marking may be either within or directly
below the indicia area. Except for
parcels entered at the new commercial
plus prices, First-Class Mail items
cannot exceed 13 ounces.
Commercial Plus
The Postal Service also introduces a
new price category under First-Class
Mail, commercial plus pricing for FirstClass Mail, designed for parcels over 13
ounces but less than 16 ounces. The
commercial plus pricing option is
established for First-Class Mail
customers who pay postage with permit
imprint, meet specific mailing
requirements, and whose account
volume exceeds a minimum threshold.
All First-Class Mail parcels mailed at
commercial plus prices must be marked
‘‘CommercialPlusPrice.’’
First-Class Mail commercial plus
parcels must be machinable parcels that
weigh more than 13 ounces but less
than 16 ounces. Qualifying mailers also
will have the option to pay commercial
plus parcel prices for machinable
parcels weighing less than 13 ounces.
(with a minimum weight of 3.5 ounces
the minimum for machinable parcels). A
flat commercial plus price is charged at
a single-piece price and each of the
following presorted price levels: 5-digit,
3-digit, and ADC. Commercial plus
parcels may be commingled with other
First-Class Mail parcels, subject to
adequate documentation. First-Class
Mail commercial plus parcel prices will
be available for customers who:
• Establish a customer commitment
agreement with the Postal Service to
mail more than 5,000 First-Class Mail
machinable parcels at commercial plus
prices in a calendar year.
• Pay for postage using a permit
imprint.
• Enter a minimum of 500 pieces of
mail for each presorted mailing or a
minimum of 200 pieces or 50 pounds of
mail for each single-piece mailing.
• Use the Electronic Verification
System (eVS®) or submit an electronic
postage statement with a computerized
manifest.
Additionally, permit holders using
Merchandise Return Service (MRS) for
First-Class Mail machinable parcels will
be eligible for commercial plus parcel
prices if the total of their First-Class
Mail MRS and outgoing volume meet
the minimum volume commitment.
Discontinuation of Standard Mail
Stamped Envelopes
Standard Mail (including nonprofit)
stamped envelopes will no longer be
available for purchase. Sales of Standard
Mail envelopes have been declining
