954(c)(6).
PART 1—INCOME TAXES
Paragraph 1. The authority citation

Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Postal Service is
proposing to amend Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) in
various sections of 602, Addressing, to
update addressing standards.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
October 22, 2020.
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 PC Federal Register@usps.gov, with a
subject line of ‘‘Addressing Standards’’.
Faxed comments are not accepted.
SUMMARY:
Confidentiality
All submitted comments and
attachments are part of the public record
and subject to disclosure. Do not
enclose any material in your comments
that you consider to be confidential or
inappropriate for public disclosure.
You may inspect and photocopy all
written comments, by appointment
only, at USPS® 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.,

Fisher at (901) 681–4634, or Garry
Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Currently, DMM section 602.6.0, ZIP
Code Accuracy Standards, provides that
a ZIP Code may be used on a mail piece
within 12 months after verified by the
use of an approved method. Once a ZIP
Code is used on a mailpiece, the same
E:\FR\FM\22SEP1.SGM
22SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 184 / Tuesday, September 22, 2020 / Proposed Rules
address is considered to meet the
standards for an additional 1 year.
DMM sections 602.7.0, Carrier Route
Accuracy Standard, and 9.0, Coding
Accuracy Support System (CASS),
provide that Address Matching and
Coding Update standards require coding
to be performed within 90 days before
the mailing date for carrier route
mailings and 180 days for all non-carrier
route mailings using the most current
USPS database. The current product
release schedule allows for use of a
database that is valid for 105 days and
may be used for an additional 6 months
beyond that timeframe. As such, an
address added or modified in the
database may not be updated on a
mailing list for nearly 1 year after the
change was made.
In 2012 the Postal Service
implemented address management
product fulfillment via an electronic
product fulfillment method designed to
provide subscription products to
customers more efficiently. The
database product updates are posted
each month to a secure site where
customers can log in to simply
download the product files. A recent
survey of licensed Address Management
data products indicate that CASS and
Multiline Accuracy Support System
(MASS) Certified software and service
providers are retrieving and using the
monthly updates during the address
matching and coding processes.
Proposal
The Postal Service is proposing a
database product cycle that aligns with
the release of other mailing products.
This will provide consistency across all
mailing products and the method by
which the data files are available and
distributed. This proposal would
require the use of monthly updates for
both carrier route and non-carrier route
mailings and would reduce the risk of
using data that is no longer current.
More frequent updates allow the
customer and the Postal Service to take
advantage of the most current
information available for the 158.6
million addresses served by the USPS.
It will maximize mailers’ ability to
obtain postage discounts and improve
the ability to sort that mail to the proper
carrier and in the proper sequence for
delivery.
The proposed release schedule allows
for an overlap in dates for product use
and will allow mailers adequate time to
transfer and install the new data files
and test their systems. Mailers will be
expected to update their systems with
the latest data files as soon as
practicable and should not wait until
the ‘‘last permissible use’’ date.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:17 Sep 21, 2020
Jkt 250001
The Postal Service is proposing to
implement this change effective July 1,
2021. However, mailers may opt to use
the new monthly update cycles for both
carrier route and non-carrier route
mailings immediately.
We believe this proposed revision
will provide customers with a more
efficient process and will reduce the
risk of using address information that is
not current.

procedure, Postal Service.
Although exempt from the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

on the following proposed revisions to
Mailing Standards of the United States

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Currently, DMM section 602.6.0, ZIP Code Accuracy Standards,
provides that a ZIP Code may be used on a mail piece within 12 months
after verified by the use of an approved method. Once a ZIP Code is
used on a mailpiece, the same
[[Page 59485]]
address is considered to meet the standards for an additional 1 year.
DMM sections 602.7.0, Carrier Route Accuracy Standard, and 9.0,
Coding Accuracy Support System (CASS), provide that Address Matching
and Coding Update standards require coding to be performed within 90
days before the mailing date for carrier route mailings and 180 days
for all non-carrier route mailings using the most current USPS
database. The current product release schedule allows for use of a
database that is valid for 105 days and may be used for an additional 6
months beyond that timeframe. As such, an address added or modified in
the database may not be updated on a mailing list for nearly 1 year
after the change was made.
In 2012 the Postal Service implemented address management product
fulfillment via an electronic product fulfillment method designed to
provide subscription products to customers more efficiently. The
database product updates are posted each month to a secure site where
customers can log in to simply download the product files. A recent
survey of licensed Address Management data products indicate that CASS
and Multiline Accuracy Support System (MASS) Certified software and
service providers are retrieving and using the monthly updates during
the address matching and coding processes.
Proposal
The Postal Service is proposing a database product cycle that
aligns with the release of other mailing products. This will provide
consistency across all mailing products and the method by which the
data files are available and distributed. This proposal would require
the use of monthly updates for both carrier route and non-carrier route
mailings and would reduce the risk of using data that is no longer
current.
More frequent updates allow the customer and the Postal Service to
take advantage of the most current information available for the 158.6
million addresses served by the USPS. It will maximize mailers' ability
to obtain postage discounts and improve the ability to sort that mail
to the proper carrier and in the proper sequence for delivery.
The proposed release schedule allows for an overlap in dates for
product use and will allow mailers adequate time to transfer and
install the new data files and test their systems. Mailers will be
expected to update their systems with the latest data files as soon as
practicable and should not wait until the ``last permissible use''
date.
The Postal Service is proposing to implement this change effective
July 1, 2021. However, mailers may opt to use the new monthly update
cycles for both carrier route and non-carrier route mailings
immediately.
We believe this proposed revision will provide customers with a
more efficient process and will reduce the risk of using address
information that is not current.
