Extra Services Refund Time Limit
AGENCY:
Postal ServiceTM.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
Proposed rule; revision;
additional comment period.
ACTION:
The Postal Service is revising
its pending proposal to amend Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal
Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®)
in subsection 604.9.2 to revise the time
limit for extra service refunds.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
February 8, 2021.
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 ‘‘Extra Services Refund
Time Limit’’. 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.,
by calling 202–268–2906.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila Marano at (202) 268–4257,
Adaisja Johnson at (202) 268–6724, or
Garry Rodriguez at (202) 268–7281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May
14, 2020, the Postal Service published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (85 FR
28917–28918) to revise the time limit
for extra service refunds on all classes
of mail except Priority Mail Express®.
The Postal Service has elected to issue
a second revised proposed rule that also
includes revising the timelines for
Priority Mail Express® with an extra
service.
Currently, DMM Exhibit 604.9.2.1,
Postage and Fees Refunds, provides that
for Priority Mail Express with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 30 days, and for
all other classes of mail with an extra
service a customer must apply for an
extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 60 days, from the
date the service was purchased.
Certain extra services (e.g., Certified
Mail®) have workflow timelines that
extend beyond the current 10-day limit
to initially file for a refund. As a result,
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
to meet the required workflow timelines
for these extra services, and for
consistency in application of the refund
processes, the Postal Service is
proposing to extend the current Priority
Mail Express with an extra service
timelines to no sooner than 30 days, or
no later than 60 days. For all other
classes of mail with an extra service, the
10-day time limit will be extended to a
30-day time limit before a customer can
file for a refund.
We believe this proposed revision
will provide customers with a more
efficient process and a more consistent
customer experience.
Although 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. See 39 CFR
111.1.
We will publish an appropriate
amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect
these changes.
Accordingly, 39 CFR part 111 is
proposed to be amended as follows:
List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111

that these revisions satisfy all
requirements needed for program
approval. This action also proposes to
codify EPA’s approval of Arkansas’s
state program and to incorporate by
reference those provisions of the State
regulations that we have determined
meet the requirements for approval. The
provisions will be subject to EPA’s
inspection and enforcement authorities
under sections 9005 and 9006 of RCRA
subtitle I and other applicable statutory
and regulatory provisions.
DATES: Send written comments by
February 8, 2021.

0701. EPA’s policy is that all comments
received will be included in the public
docket without change and may be
available online at https://
www.regulations.gov, including any
personal information provided, unless
the comment includes information
claimed to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise
protected through https://
www.regulations.gov, or email. The
Federal https://www.regulations.gov
website is an ‘‘anonymous access’’
system, which means the EPA will not
know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the
body of your comment. If you send an
email comment directly to the EPA
without going through https://
www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured
and included as part of the comment
that is placed in the public docket and
made available on the internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, the EPA
recommends that you include your
name and other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD–ROM you submit. If the EPA
cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties, and cannot
contact you for clarification, the EPA
may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.
