SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal
Service is proposing to revise DMM
subsection 508.1.8 by reorganizing and
revising the subsections in 508.1.8.
These changes are occurring, in part
because the Postal Service has
developed an electronic database to
collect and manage the information
collected on PS Form 1583, Application
for Delivery of Mail Through Agent,
which has been collected and
maintained as paper records. Following
are the proposed changes to subsection
508.1.8.
Current subsections 508.1.8.1 through
1.8.4 will be renumbered as subsections
508.1.8.2 through 1.8.5. New subsection
508.1.8.1 will define what type of
business is considered a CMRA and
therefore must comply with the
requirements in this section. The
definitions are based on the type of
service the business entity receives from
the Postal Service. If an entity receives
U.S. Mail for multiple customers and
receives single point mail delivery from
the Postal Service, it is considered a
CMRA for purposes of complying with
these requirements. There will be three
specifically defined entities that must
register as a CMRA and comply with
these requirements: a CMRA that
provides private mail boxes and accepts
delivery of mail on behalf of another; an
office business center (OBC) that
provides private office facilities for
others and receives single-point mail
delivery from the Postal Service; and a
reshipping or redelivery service that
accepts delivery of mail on behalf of
another for the purpose of reshipping or
redelivering that mail either physically
or electronically.
Renumbered subsection 1.8.2,
Procedures, will be revised to require a
CMRA owner must apply to operate a
CMRA by submitting a completed PS
Form 1583–A, Application to Act as a
Commercial Mail Receiving Agency, and
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4702

presenting acceptable, and not expired,
form of Identification to the Post Office
for review. If any of the information on
PS Form 1583–A changes over time or
becomes expired, the CMRA owner
must submit an updated form to the
Postal Service. The Postal Service will
be scanning and uploading this form to
the Postal Service’s Facilities Database
(FDB). The Postal Service will add a
new item 1.8.2e to provide notice that
CMRAs not in compliance with these
regulations could be suspended and that
CMRAs will have 30 days to come into
compliance, and a new item 1.8.2f to
affirmatively state that CMRAs and
private mailboxes (PMBs) may not be
used for criminal purposes.
Renumbered subsection 1.8.3,
Delivery to a CMRA, will be revised to
specify requirements related to PS Form
1583, Application for Delivery of Mail
Through Agent, necessary with the
implementation of the new CMRA
Customer Registration Database. Item
1.8.3a will be revised to specify that a
CMRA owner or manager will have to
complete and submit a PS Form 1583
form themselves. Further, it will specify
that spouses must each complete a
separate PS Form 1583 if they both
choose to receive mail at a single PMB
address. The Postal Service is also
specifying that the name and address
information submitted on PS Form 1583
must match the photo and address
verification documents provided with
the application or the application will
be rejected. Identification documents
must be current (not expired). Any
changes to the information on a PS
Form 1583 will require the submission
of a new PS Form 1583 and the CMRA
owner must retain a copy of the
identification documents submitted
with the application. Item 1.8.3c will be
revised to specify that CMRA owners or
managers will be required to enter the
data from PS Form 1583 and upload
copies of the supporting documents into
the Postal Service’s electronic CMRA
Customer Registration Database rather
than provide paper copies to their local
Post Office. Item 1.8.3h will be revised
to specify that CMRA owners or
managers must enter the date PMBs
close into the CMRA Customer
Registration Database and that any
expired, illegible, or unclear documents
are not acceptable and will not be
considered in compliance. Item 1.8.3i
will be revised to specify that CMRA
owners or manager must certify the
information they submitted in the
CMRA Customer Registration Database
is current each quarter, with
certifications due 15 days after the end
of each quarter. Item 1.8.3j will be
