AGENCY: This document reprints, in a more readable format, a table displaying the new benchmark levels for the singlefamily housing goals for 2012, 2013 and SUMMARY: 2014 that originally appeared in the final rule published in the Federal Register on November 13, 2012 entitled ‘‘2012–2014 Enterprise Housing Goals.’’ SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summary of Correction The SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION of the final rule establishing the Enterprise housing goals for 2012 through 2014, published on November 13, 2012, at 77 FR 67535, included a table on pages 67536–67537 that displayed the new benchmark levels for the single-family housing goals for 2012, 2013 and 2014. The table’s format did not clearly convey that the benchmark levels for 2012 and 2014 are, in fact, the same as the levels for 2013, as indicated in the accompanying discussion and final rule. To clearly indicate the goal levels for 2012 and 2014, the table is being reprinted with the goal levels in the columns for all three years. The newly formatted table is displayed below.

The Postal Service’s final rule includes a summary of comments received and responses to those comments, several mail classification changes, modifications to mailpiece characteristics, and changes in classification terminology. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Summary The Postal Service received nine formal responses to our proposed rule as comments, two of which included comments about more than one issue. There were three responses by mailers, two by vendors, and four by associations. Changes to Proposed Revisions One comment by an association requested that the USPSTM withdraw a proposed change that would limit the extrusion of an insert; that change has been withdrawn. Three comments regarding wrappers on Periodicals requested that the proposed change to require a return address on all copies with wrappers be limited to opaque wrappers; that change has been modified to only apply to opaque wrappers. Clarifications It was requested that we clarify that the minimum number of 300 pieces per route and the rule that multiple pieces per delivery address can count toward the new high density plus prices will apply to both Standard Mail® letters and flats; that will be the case. It was requested that we clarify the names for Standard Mail parcels. There will be Marketing parcels, mailable at presorted (noncarrier route) prices. There will continue to be irregular and machinable parcels mailable only at Nonprofit prices. Carrier route parcels will be called Product Samples (or Simple Samples). One response questioned if the new handling charges for inbound First-Class Mail® will apply to First-Class Mail nonmachinable letters. Nonmachinable letters are not authorized for this entry. The Postal Service’s current plan is for the handling charge to apply only to First-Class Mail Machinable Letters, Single-Piece Postcards, Single-Piece Flats, and Parcels under an authorization arrangement between the Postal Service and a foreign postal operator.
