The mailer may use the current address for 95 days from the date of address confirmation with the recipient. D Finally, keep documentation of the process described above for one year, including dates on which each step was performed, number of COA orders identified, number of confirmation requests, and evidence that demonstrates that updates have been incorporated into your system. Provide documentation to the Postal Service upon request. Be sure to keep records of all situations where the recipient indicated not to use the new address as not using the new address may affect your Move Update verification score during mail acceptance. Move Update processing must be done 95 days prior to mailing. Should there be any need to change the procedures outlined in your description, you are required to inform NCSC prior to making the change to retain authorization for the Legal Restraint method. Mailers who are authorized for the Legal Restraint method must use an exclusive Mailer Identification (MID) or multiple exclusive MIDs for Legal Restraint mailings. This allows the Postal Service to properly identify these types of mailings and, where appropriate, exclude the mailings from the normal Seamless Acceptance Move Update compliance review. The mailer cannot use these MIDs for other types of mailings that do not fall under the Legal Restraint authorization. The USPS has already worked with the Legal Restraint mailers to identify these MIDs. All current Legal Restraint authorized mailers will be allowed a one-year transition period to begin use of the exclusive MIDs. The one-year transition period is calculated starting from the date of their next annual Legal Restraint renewal, which is authorized by the Postal Service. Existing Legal Restraint mailers who are able to implement the exclusive MIDs are encouraged to do so prior to the end of the one-year transition period. Any mailer seeking a new authorization for the Legal Restraint method will be required to use the exclusive MIDs upon approval. Authorization for Legal Restraint To acquire authorization to use the Legal Restraint method, the mailer must adhere to the following requirements: D Request authorization in writing. D Identify by citation the specific legal restriction. D Include copies of the statutes or regulations that prohibit the immediate VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:05 Jun 30, 2016 Jkt 238001 use of COA information from a primary method of Move Update compliance. D Provide a flowchart and/or process description of the Move Update method currently being used and the related confirmation process. D This requirement applies to federal, state, and local government mailers. D Submit the request to the following USPS location: NCSC, 225 N Humphreys Blvd., Suite 501, Memphis, TN 38188–1001 Mailer Inquiries Listed below are responses to some of the more common commercial mailer inquiries derived from ongoing Move Update dialogue. Mailer Inquiry Are mailpieces eligible for discounted mail preparation prices when the addresses are classified by the Postal Service as follows? D Moved, Left No Forwarding Address (MLNA) D P.O. Box Closed, No Forwarding Order (BCNO) D Foreign (new address is foreign) USPS Response Mailpieces bearing addresses that are classified by the Postal Service as MLNA, BCNO, or Foreign are exempt from the Move Update requirement. Therefore, these pieces are eligible for discounted mail preparation prices. Mailer Inquiry Are pieces where NCOALink returned a FN (footnote) 5, 14, or 19 (indicating a known move, but not providing the new address) eligible for discounted mail preparation rates? USPS Response When a mailer uses NCOALink as the Move Update method, there are situations when an input address may receive a Return Code of 5, 14, or 19, which indicates a COA was found. However, a new address could not be provided due to one of the following reasons for new address: D Ambiguous information D Unconfirmed primary number D No ZIP+4 Code D Only temporary COA filed D Run-time issues In such cases, using the original input address for the mailing would satisfy the Move Update requirement towards qualification for discounted mail preparation prices. Mailer Inquiry Are mailpieces for which ACS returned a new address that fails Delivery Point Validation (DPV) and the PO 00000 Frm 00113 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 mailer uses the original address, eligible for discounted mail preparation prices? USPS Response There are situations where the ACS method will provide a notification of a new address for the intended recipient that is not DPV. To satisfy the Move Update standard, all new addresses returned by the ACS method must be used to update the addresses used on future mailings. Electing to utilize the original address for the mailing, means the Move Update standard is not satisfied and the piece is ineligible for discounted mail preparation prices. Mailer Inquiry Are mailpieces eligible for discounted mail preparation prices when addresses include COA information that is more than 18 months old? USPS Response Each address used on mailpieces must be updated via an approved Move Update method within 95 days prior to the mailing date, as follows: D If the COA is older than 95 days, it is expected that the new address has been updated to the mailer’s system for use on future mailings. D If the Move Update method that was used did not provide a match and new address because the COA data was not available, the mailer is considered to have satisfied the Move Update standard assuming that the mailer had properly performed the Move Update processing in a timeframe and configuration compliant with USPSapproved methods. D If the mailer obtained a new address before the COA was more than 18 months old and failed to update the address, the old address would not be compliant with the Move Update standard just because the COA had become more than 18 months old. We will update the online version of the Guide to Move Update on RIBBS at https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm? page=moveupdate to reflect all changes. Stanley F. Mires, Attorney, Federal Compliance.

Reassignment of Post Office Box Section 98025 to Competitive Fee 
Group, and of Sections 87325 and 87326 to Market Dominant Fee Groups

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Notice.

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

[[Page 43295]]

SUMMARY: The Postal Service hereby provides notice that Post 
Office[supreg] Box service for ZIP Code[supreg] 98025 is reassigned 
from its market dominant fee group to a competitive fee group, and Post 
Office Box services for ZIP Code 87325 and ZIP Code 87326 are 
reassigned from their competitive fee groups to market dominant fee 
groups.

DATES: Effective date: August 15, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions or comments to: Joyce 
Fleming (joycelyn.b.robinsonfleming @usps.gov), 202-268-7540; or David 
Rubin (david.h.rubin@usps.gov), 202-268-2986.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Locations providing Post Office Box service 
are assigned to fee groups and classified as competitive or market 
dominant based upon the Post Office location and other criteria.
    In May 2011, a Request of the United States Postal Service was 
filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to transfer 
approximately 6,800 P.O. Box locations from market dominant to 
competitive fee groups. At that time, the Postal Service advised the 
PRC that a Federal Register notice would be filed when any future P.O. 
Box locations are transferred.
    While the Post Office serving ZIP Code 98025 was inadvertently 
excluded from previous PRC filings, the customers at that location have 
had a qualified competitive choice since the time of the 2011 filing. 
The Box Section 98025 facility, in Hobart, Washington, serves 
approximately 424 P.O. Box customers, and the location meets the 
criteria to be classified as and assigned to a competitive fee group. 
Therefore, the Postal Service has reassigned Hobart, Washington, Box 
Section ZIP Code 98025 from Market Dominant Fee Group 4 to Competitive 
Fee Group 34.
    Conversely, the Post Offices serving ZIP Codes 87325 and 87326 were 
inadvertently included in a previous PRC filing, but did not have a 
qualified competitor at the time of the 2011 filing. The Box Section 
87325 in Tohatchi, New Mexico, and the Box Section 87326 in 
Vanderwagen, New Mexico, do not meet the criteria to be classified as 
and assigned to a competitive fee group. Therefore, the Postal Service 
has reassigned Tohatchi, New Mexico, Box Section ZIP Code 87325 from 
Competitive Fee Group 35 to Market Dominant Fee Group 5; and has 
reassigned Vanderwagen, New Mexico, Box Section ZIP Code 87326 from 
Competitive Fee Group 40 to Market Dominant Fee Group 3.
