New Mailing Standards for Domestic

Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Proposed Rule.
AGENCY:
In October 2016, the Postal
Service filed a notice of mailing services
price adjustments with the Postal
Regulatory Commission (PRC), effective
January 22, 2017. This proposed rule
contains the revisions to Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal

DATES: We must receive comments on or
before November 16, 2016.

Proposal.’’ Faxed comments are not

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Audrey Meloni at (856) 933–4360 or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed
prices will be available under Docket
Number(s) R2017–1 on the Postal
Regulatory Commission’s Web site at
www.prc.gov.
The Postal Service’s proposed rule
includes: Changes to prices, several mail
classification updates, mailpiece
marking changes, modifications to
mailpiece weights and mail preparation
categories, multiple product
simplification efforts, a few minor
revisions to the DMM to condense
language and eliminate redundancy, a
change to the redemption period of a
money order claim from two years to
one year, the addition of Official Mail
Accounting System (OMAS) stamp
shipment fee language, and updates to
Enterprise Post Office Box Online
(ePOBOL) process that changes payment
periods for online Post Office Box
activity.
Flats Sequencing System (FSS)—
Overview of Changes
As background, the Postal Service
required bundle and pallet preparation
of flat-size Standard Mail®, Periodicals,
and Bound Printed Matter mailpieces
for delivery within ZIP CodesTM served
by FSS processing in the December 18,
2013 Federal Register final rule [78 FR
76533–76548] which was incorporated
into the DMM on January 26, 2014.
Subsequently, on May 31, 2015, the
Postal Service introduced FSS-specific
price structures for flat-sized Bound
Printer Matter, Standard Mail, and
Periodicals mailpieces, pursuant to PRC
Order no. 2472, issued on May 7, 2015.
This current Federal Register proposal
if adopted, removes all FSS-specific
pricing structures from Periodicals,
Standard Mail and Bound Printed
Matter but leaves mail preparation
requirements intact with a few updated
requirements. One change, for example,
requires mailers to add necessitate
optional endorsement lines (OEL) on
each FSS scheme mailpiece.
