The Postal
Service is proposing to update IMpb
requirements relative to Compliance
Quality Validations for Thresholds,
Address Quality, Shipping Services File
Manifest Quality, and Barcode Quality.
These proposed validations would
allow the Postal Service to further
improve service, tracking, visibility, and
positive customer experiences along
with better identifying noncompliant
mailpieces.
Technical and in-depth IMpb
guidance is available in Publication 199,
Intelligent Mail Package Barcode
Implementation Guide for: Confirmation
Services and Electronic Verification
System Mailers, which is conveniently
located on the PostalPro website at
https://postalpro.usps.com. This
publication would be updated to reflect
all adopted changes.

Background
On December 18, 2013, in a notice of
final rulemaking (78 FR 76548–76560),
the Postal Service announced that
mailers who enter commercial parcels
must adhere to the following: IMpb
must be used on all commercial parcels;
piece-level information must be
submitted to the Postal Service via an
approved electronic file format (except
for mailers generating barcodes for use
on return services products, such as
MRS); and electronic files must include
the complete destination delivery
address and/or an 11-digit Delivery
Point Validation (DPV®) ZIP Code® for
all records, except for Parcel Return
Service, a ZIP+4® Code is required to be
encoded into the barcode for all returns
products.
Since IMpb requirements were
implemented, the Postal Service has
made significant advances with its
package strategy. Use of IMpbs
continues to be the critical bridge
between physical packages and the
digital information required to enable
world class service, tracking, visibility,
and positive customer experiences.
Barcode intelligence along with the
corresponding digital data captured
through in-transit processing and
delivery scans are fundamental
requirements in the shipping market.
The data have enabled the Postal
Service and its customers to enhance
products, improve customer
satisfaction, increase efficiencies,
provide greater visibility, integrate with
eCommerce and supply chain systems,
enhance performance and analytics
tools, and generate actionable business
insights for better decisions.
In January 2015, the Postal Service
required that all parcels with an IMpb
be accompanied by the complete
destination delivery address or an 11digit ZIP Code (validated by the DPV
System, or an approved equivalent) in
the Shipping Services File or other
approved electronic documentation.
This information is critical to the Postal
Service package strategy, the dynamic
routing process that enable package
distribution without scheme-trained
employees, improving the customer’s
experience, and enhancing business
insights and analytics.
In January 2016, the Postal Service
began measuring the quality of mailer
compliance for the newly introduced
IMpb Compliance Quality Category with
data validations to determine the IMpb
Compliance Assessment criteria as
follows: Address Quality, Manifest
Quality, and Barcode Quality. Then, in
July 2017, the Postal Service began
assessing mailers with a $0.20 IMpb
E:\FR\FM\27FEP1.SGM
27FEP1
8400
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2018 / Proposed Rules
Noncompliance Fee for commercial,
competitive parcels (Priority Mail,
Priority Mail Express, First-Class
Package Service, Parcel Select and
Parcel Select Lightweight) that did not
meet the established thresholds for one
or more IMpb Compliance Quality
Categories. For customers using the
Electronic Verification System (eVS®),
the Postal Service assessed the fee based
on the individual mail class or aggregate
compliance performance, whichever
results in the lowest financial impact to
the customer. The fee is not assessed on
packages when a price adjustment
results in single-piece pricing.
As of January 21, 2018, addresses and
products for Puerto Rico or that contain
an Open & Distribute Service Type Code
were eliminated from all Address
Quality validations.
Proposal Overview
Intelligent Mail Package Barcode
Quality Requirements
This section provides an overview of
the IMpb Compliance Quality
Validation and Threshold requirements
that the Postal Service is proposing to
revise. As indicated in the table that
follows, on July 1, 2018, and February
1, 2019, the Postal Service would begin
assessing quality using the newly
proposed thresholds.
If commercial, competitive parcels
consisting of Priority Mail, Priority Mail
Express, First-Class Package Service,
Parcel Select, and Parcel Select
Lightweight exceed the compliance
thresholds outlined below, a $0.20 IMpb
Noncompliance Fee would be assessed
for each piece. This fee would only be
assessed on the number of pieces that
fall below the threshold according to the
following examples:
D Example 1: In the case of 100 pieces
being shipped, if 98 pieces are in
compliance, no pieces would be charged
the $0.20 per-piece fee.
D Example 2: In the case of 100 pieces
being shipped, if only 90 pieces are in
compliance, 8 pieces would be assessed
the $0.20 per-piece fee.
If the threshold for more than one
category is not met, the fee is assessed
based on the IMpb Compliance Quality
threshold that yields the greatest
number of noncompliant pieces. The fee
is charged only once per noncompliant
mailpiece and is only applicable to the
following competitive parcels: Priority
Mail, Priority Mail Express, First-Class
Package Service, Parcel Select, and
Parcel Select Lightweight.

Address Quality
The Postal Service proposes to update
the threshold for the Address Quality
IMpb requirements described in this
section. If destination delivery address
information is included in the Shipping
Services File or Shipping Partner Event
File, the address elements must be
complete and have sufficient quality to
yield an 11-digit ZIP Code that matches
the delivery point. Address Quality
measures the percentage of addresses
that contain sufficient information to
validate to the 11-digit DPV ZIP Code
when matched against the Address
Management System (AMS) database.
Destination delivery addresses would
be compared against the AMS database
for accuracy and the ability to be
validated to the 11-digit DPV ZIP Code

representing the finest depth of code for
the delivery point (including secondary
information such as the apartment or

a package or mailpiece does not result
in an exact match, an Address Quality
noncompliance indicator would be
assigned for any of the following
reasons:
D Invalid secondary address.
D No match between the address and
the ZIP+4 Code.
D Missing street number.
D Invalid primary street number.
In addition, for eVS customers, an
Address Quality noncompliance
indicator would be assigned when the
address information is not received
before the Arrival at Post Office (07)
scan event and when the address

In July 2018, the Address Quality
threshold would remain at 89 percent.
If mailpieces fail to meet the compliance
threshold of 89 percent, customers
would be assessed the IMpb
Noncompliance Fee of $0.20 per piece
for competitive parcels only. However,
the Postal Service provides notice of its
intent to collaborate with the mailing
industry to increase the Address Quality
threshold beginning on January 1, 2019,
with mailpieces assessed on February 1,
2019.

daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2018 / Proposed Rules
In accordance with this proposed
rule, the Shipping Services File
manifests must be received timely or
each mailpiece on the file would be
noncompliant. For customers who do
not use eVS, the Shipping Services Files
must be transmitted to the Postal
Service prior to the physical entry of the
mailing for acceptance. Customers who
use eVS are required to transmit the
Shipping Services File prior to the
Arrival at Post Office (07) scan event
unless the address information was
provided via the Shipping Partner Event
File prior to the Arrival at Post Office
(07) scan event. If the address is
provided in the Shipping Partner Event
File before the Arrival at Post Office (07)
scan event, the mailer must transmit the
Shipping Services File prior to 23:59 on
the date of mailing. Mailpieces that do
not have a Shipping Services File record
or have an untimely record would be
noncompliant and receive a Manifest
Quality validation noncompliance code.
Manifest Files would have to pass the
following four validation criteria:
• Entry Facility ZIP Code: The entry
facility ZIP Code in the Shipping
Services File must match physical scan
event at location.
• Payment Account Number: The
USPS account number from which the
mailing will be paid must be valid.
• Method of Payment: The approved
payment method must be valid (permit
imprint, postage meter, PC Postage,
OMAS, franked mail, and stamps) for
the mail being entered.
• Post Office of Account: The 5-digit
ZIP Code of the Post Office issuing the
permit number, meter license, or
precancelled stamp must be valid and
agree with the information on the
postage statement.
Also, the Transaction ID (TID) is
already required. However, when the
TID is used in conjunction with the
Payment Account Number, Method of
Payment, and Post Office of Account, it
enables the Postal Service to calculate
IMpb compliance for each mailing at the
postage-statement level for non-eVS
customers. If any field is missing or
inaccurate, a Manifest Quality IMpb
Compliance Quality indicator would be
assigned.
In addition, in July 2018, the Manifest
Quality threshold would be increased
from 91 percent to 94 percent. If
mailpieces fail to meet the compliance
threshold of 94 percent, customers
would be assessed the IMpb
Noncompliance Fee of $0.20 per piece
for competitive parcels only.
Barcode Quality
Barcode Quality is essential to create
the digital trail that adds intelligence
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:03 Feb 26, 2018
Jkt 244001
and enables business insight from
parcels traveling through the Postal
Service network, which leads to
innovation and growth. Therefore, when
manifests are processed by the Postal
Service, Barcode Quality would
continue to be measured under the
following standards:
D IMpb(s) must pass the Uniqueness
and Mailer Identification validations
without errors or warnings.
D The IMpb must be unique for 120
days from the date of the first event
record posted to the Postal Service’s
database.
D The IMpb must include a valid
Mailer Identification that is properly
registered in the Postal Service’s
Customer Registration Online
Enrollment System.
D IMpb(s) that fail the Uniqueness and
Mailer Identification validations will be
assigned a Barcode Quality
noncompliance code and such pieces
would be counted against the threshold.
In addition, in July 2018, the Barcode
Quality threshold would be increased
from 95 percent to 98 percent. If
mailpieces fail to meet the compliance
threshold of 98 percent, customers
would be assessed the IMpb
Noncompliance Fee of $0.20 per piece
for competitive parcels only.

approve the SIP revision because the
regulations meet the applicable
requirements of the Clean Air Act. If
finalized, approval of the regulations as
part of the California SIP will make
them federally enforceable.
DATES: Any comments must arrive by
March 29, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

I. Background
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA or
‘‘Act’’), the EPA establishes national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)
to protect public health and welfare.
The EPA has established NAAQS for
certain pervasive air pollutants
including ozone, carbon monoxide,
nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, lead
and particulate matter. Under section
110(a)(1) of the CAA, states must submit
plans that provide for the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of the NAAQS within each
state. Such plans are referred to as SIPs,
and revisions to those plans are referred
to as SIP revisions. Section 110(a)(2) of
the CAA sets forth the content
requirements for SIPs. Among the
various requirements, SIPs must include
enforceable emission limitations and
other control measures, means, or
techniques as may be necessary or
appropriate to meet the applicable
requirements of the CAA. See CAA
section 110(a)(2)(a).
Emissions sources contributing to
ambient air pollution levels can be
divided into two basic categories:
Stationary emissions sources and
mobile emissions sources. As a general
matter, the CAA assigns stationary
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
8403
source regulation and SIP development
responsibilities to the states through
title I of the Act and assigns mobile
source regulation to the EPA through
title II of the Act. In so doing, the CAA
preempts various types of state
regulation of mobile sources as set forth
in section 209(a) (preemption of state
emissions standards for new motor
vehicles and engines), section 209(e)
(preemption of state emissions
standards for new and in-use off-road
vehicles and engines),1 and section
211(c)(4)(A) (preemption of state fuel
requirements for motor vehicle emission
control, i.e., other than California’s
motor vehicle fuel requirements for
motor vehicle emission control—see
section 211(c)(4)(B)).
Under California law, the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) is the State
agency responsible for adopting and
submitting the California SIP and SIP
revisions. Over the years, CARB has
submitted, and the EPA has approved,
many county and regional air district
rules regulating stationary source
emissions as part of the California SIP.
See generally 40 CFR 52.220(c). With
respect to mobile sources not
specifically preempted under the CAA,
CARB has submitted, and the EPA has
approved, certain specific State
regulatory programs, such as the in-use,
heavy-duty, diesel-fueled truck rule,
various fuels regulations, and the
vehicle inspection and maintenance
program (I/M, also known as ‘‘smog
check’’). See, e.g., 77 FR 20308 (April 4,
2012) (in-use truck and bus regulation),
75 FR 26653 (May 12, 2010) (revisions
to California on-road reformulated
gasoline and diesel fuel regulations) and
75 FR 38023 (July 1, 2010) (revisions to
California motor vehicle I/M program).
CARB and the air districts rely on
these county, regional and State
stationary and mobile source regulations
to meet various CAA requirements and
include the corresponding emissions
reductions in the various regional air
quality plans developed to attain and
maintain the NAAQS. The EPA
generally allows California to take credit
for the corresponding emissions
reductions relied upon in the various
regional air quality plans because,
among other reasons, the regulations are
approved as part of the SIP and are
thereby federally enforceable as
required under CAA section
110(a)(2)(A).
1 EPA regulations refer to ‘‘nonroad’’ vehicles and
engines whereas California Air Resources Board
(CARB) regulations refer to ‘‘off-road’’ vehicles and
engines. These terms refer to the same types of
vehicles and engines, and for the purposes of this
action, we will be using CARB’s chosen term, ‘‘offroad,’’ to refer to such vehicles and engines.

39 CFR Part 111
Proposed Changes to Validations for Intelligent Mail Package
Barcode
AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service is proposing to revise the Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM[supreg]), to add new Intelligent Mail[supreg] package barcode
(IMpb) validations for evaluating compliance with IMpb requirements for
all mailers who enter commercial parcels.
DATES: Submit comments on or before March 29, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written comments to the manager, Product
Classification, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Room 4446,
Washington, DC 20260-5015. If sending comments by email, include the
name and address of the commenter and send to
[email protected], with a subject line of ``Intelligent
Mail Package Barcode Validations.'' Faxed comments are not accepted.
You may inspect and photocopy all written comments, by appointment
only, at USPS[supreg] Headquarters Library, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, 11th
Floor North, Washington, DC 20260. These records are available for
review on Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., by calling 202-268-
2906.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions or comments to
Juliaann Hess at [email protected] or (202) 268-7663.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is proposing to update
IMpb requirements relative to Compliance Quality Validations for
Thresholds, Address Quality, Shipping Services File Manifest Quality,
and Barcode Quality. These proposed validations would allow the Postal
Service to further improve service, tracking, visibility, and positive
customer experiences along with better identifying noncompliant
mailpieces.
Technical and in-depth IMpb guidance is available in Publication
199, Intelligent Mail Package Barcode Implementation Guide for:
Confirmation Services and Electronic Verification System Mailers, which
is conveniently located on the PostalPro website at https://postalpro.usps.com. This publication would be updated to reflect all
adopted changes.
Background
On December 18, 2013, in a notice of final rulemaking (78 FR 76548-
76560), the Postal Service announced that mailers who enter commercial
parcels must adhere to the following: IMpb must be used on all
commercial parcels; piece-level information must be submitted to the
Postal Service via an approved electronic file format (except for
mailers generating barcodes for use on return services products, such
as MRS); and electronic files must include the complete destination
delivery address and/or an 11-digit Delivery Point Validation
(DPV[supreg]) ZIP Code[supreg] for all records, except for Parcel
Return Service, a ZIP+4[supreg] Code is required to be encoded into the
barcode for all returns products.
Since IMpb requirements were implemented, the Postal Service has
made significant advances with its package strategy. Use of IMpbs
continues to be the critical bridge between physical packages and the
digital information required to enable world class service, tracking,
visibility, and positive customer experiences. Barcode intelligence
along with the corresponding digital data captured through in-transit
processing and delivery scans are fundamental requirements in the
shipping market. The data have enabled the Postal Service and its
customers to enhance products, improve customer satisfaction, increase
efficiencies, provide greater visibility, integrate with eCommerce and
supply chain systems, enhance performance and analytics tools, and
generate actionable business insights for better decisions.
In January 2015, the Postal Service required that all parcels with
an IMpb be accompanied by the complete destination delivery address or
an 11-digit ZIP Code (validated by the DPV System, or an approved
equivalent) in the Shipping Services File or other approved electronic
documentation. This information is critical to the Postal Service
package strategy, the dynamic routing process that enable package
distribution without scheme-trained employees, improving the customer's
experience, and enhancing business insights and analytics.
In January 2016, the Postal Service began measuring the quality of
mailer compliance for the newly introduced IMpb Compliance Quality
Category with data validations to determine the IMpb Compliance
Assessment criteria as follows: Address Quality, Manifest Quality, and
Barcode Quality. Then, in July 2017, the Postal Service began assessing
mailers with a $0.20 IMpb
[[Page 8400]]
Noncompliance Fee for commercial, competitive parcels (Priority Mail,
Priority Mail Express, First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select and
Parcel Select Lightweight) that did not meet the established thresholds
for one or more IMpb Compliance Quality Categories. For customers using
the Electronic Verification System (eVS[supreg]), the Postal Service
assessed the fee based on the individual mail class or aggregate
compliance performance, whichever results in the lowest financial
impact to the customer. The fee is not assessed on packages when a
price adjustment results in single-piece pricing.
As of January 21, 2018, addresses and products for Puerto Rico or
that contain an Open & Distribute Service Type Code were eliminated
from all Address Quality validations.
Proposal Overview
Intelligent Mail Package Barcode Quality Requirements
This section provides an overview of the IMpb Compliance Quality
Validation and Threshold requirements that the Postal Service is
proposing to revise. As indicated in the table that follows, on July 1,
2018, and February 1, 2019, the Postal Service would begin assessing
quality using the newly proposed thresholds.
If commercial, competitive parcels consisting of Priority Mail,
Priority Mail Express, First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select, and
Parcel Select Lightweight exceed the compliance thresholds outlined
below, a $0.20 IMpb Noncompliance Fee would be assessed for each piece.
This fee would only be assessed on the number of pieces that fall below
the threshold according to the following examples:
[ssquf] Example 1: In the case of 100 pieces being shipped, if 98
pieces are in compliance, no pieces would be charged the $0.20 per-
piece fee.
[ssquf] Example 2: In the case of 100 pieces being shipped, if only
90 pieces are in compliance, 8 pieces would be assessed the $0.20 per-
piece fee.
If the threshold for more than one category is not met, the fee is
assessed based on the IMpb Compliance Quality threshold that yields the
greatest number of noncompliant pieces. The fee is charged only once
per noncompliant mailpiece and is only applicable to the following
competitive parcels: Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, First-Class
Package Service, Parcel Select, and Parcel Select Lightweight.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Address Quality
The Postal Service proposes to update the threshold for the Address
Quality IMpb requirements described in this section. If destination
delivery address information is included in the Shipping Services File
or Shipping Partner Event File, the address elements must be complete
and have sufficient quality to yield an 11-digit ZIP Code that matches
the delivery point. Address Quality measures the percentage of
addresses that contain sufficient information to validate to the 11-
digit DPV ZIP Code when matched against the Address Management System
(AMS) database.
Destination delivery addresses would be compared against the AMS
database for accuracy and the ability to be validated to the 11-digit
DPV ZIP Code representing the finest depth of code for the delivery
point (including secondary information such as the apartment or suite
number). If the delivery address of a package or mailpiece does not
result in an exact match, an Address Quality noncompliance indicator
would be assigned for any of the following reasons:
[ssquf] Invalid secondary address.
[ssquf] No match between the address and the ZIP+4 Code.
[ssquf] Missing street number.
[ssquf] Invalid primary street number.
In addition, for eVS customers, an Address Quality noncompliance
indicator would be assigned when the address information is not
received before the Arrival at Post Office (07) scan event and when the
address information is not present at the time of mailing.
In July 2018, the Address Quality threshold would remain at 89
percent. If mailpieces fail to meet the compliance threshold of 89
percent, customers would be assessed the IMpb Noncompliance Fee of
$0.20 per piece for competitive parcels only. However, the Postal
Service provides notice of its intent to collaborate with the mailing
industry to increase the Address Quality threshold beginning on January
1, 2019, with mailpieces assessed on February 1, 2019.
Manifest Quality (Shipping Services File)
[[Page 8401]]
In accordance with this proposed rule, the Shipping Services File
manifests must be received timely or each mailpiece on the file would
be noncompliant. For customers who do not use eVS, the Shipping
Services Files must be transmitted to the Postal Service prior to the
physical entry of the mailing for acceptance. Customers who use eVS are
required to transmit the Shipping Services File prior to the Arrival at
Post Office (07) scan event unless the address information was provided
via the Shipping Partner Event File prior to the Arrival at Post Office
(07) scan event. If the address is provided in the Shipping Partner
Event File before the Arrival at Post Office (07) scan event, the
mailer must transmit the Shipping Services File prior to 23:59 on the
date of mailing. Mailpieces that do not have a Shipping Services File
record or have an untimely record would be noncompliant and receive a
Manifest Quality validation noncompliance code.
Manifest Files would have to pass the following four validation
criteria:
Entry Facility ZIP Code: The entry facility ZIP Code in
the Shipping Services File must match physical scan event at location.
Payment Account Number: The USPS account number from which
the mailing will be paid must be valid.
Method of Payment: The approved payment method must be
valid (permit imprint, postage meter, PC Postage, OMAS, franked mail,
and stamps) for the mail being entered.
Post Office of Account: The 5-digit ZIP Code of the Post
Office issuing the permit number, meter license, or precancelled stamp
must be valid and agree with the information on the postage statement.
Also, the Transaction ID (TID) is already required. However, when
the TID is used in conjunction with the Payment Account Number, Method
of Payment, and Post Office of Account, it enables the Postal Service
to calculate IMpb compliance for each mailing at the postage-statement
level for non-eVS customers. If any field is missing or inaccurate, a
Manifest Quality IMpb Compliance Quality indicator would be assigned.
In addition, in July 2018, the Manifest Quality threshold would be
increased from 91 percent to 94 percent. If mailpieces fail to meet the
compliance threshold of 94 percent, customers would be assessed the
IMpb Noncompliance Fee of $0.20 per piece for competitive parcels only.
Barcode Quality
Barcode Quality is essential to create the digital trail that adds
intelligence and enables business insight from parcels traveling
through the Postal Service network, which leads to innovation and
growth. Therefore, when manifests are processed by the Postal Service,
Barcode Quality would continue to be measured under the following
standards:
[ssquf] IMpb(s) must pass the Uniqueness and Mailer Identification
validations without errors or warnings.
[ssquf] The IMpb must be unique for 120 days from the date of the
first event record posted to the Postal Service's database.
[ssquf] The IMpb must include a valid Mailer Identification that is
properly registered in the Postal Service's Customer Registration
Online Enrollment System.
[ssquf] IMpb(s) that fail the Uniqueness and Mailer Identification
validations will be assigned a Barcode Quality noncompliance code and
such pieces would be counted against the threshold.
In addition, in July 2018, the Barcode Quality threshold would be
increased from 95 percent to 98 percent. If mailpieces fail to meet the
compliance threshold of 98 percent, customers would be assessed the
IMpb Noncompliance Fee of $0.20 per piece for competitive parcels only.
Public Participation
Although the Postal Service is 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), the Postal Service
invites 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.
