POSTAL SERVICE
Change Service Requested, Option 1, as
an ancillary service endorsement option
for Ballot Mail. The Postal Service did
not receive any formal comments.
The Postal Service is clarifying that
the notice of proposed rulemaking
focused on removing ‘‘Change Service
Requested’’, Option 1 and that Change
Service Requested, Option 2 was not
originally included in the Ballot Mail
Ancillary Service Endorsement Federal
Register Notice because Change Service
Requested, Option 2 was never
associated with any Ballot Mail STIDs.
Only Change Service Requested, Option
1 was available for use. However, both
Change Service Requested Options 1
and 2 permit all mailpieces that are
undeliverable-as-addressed to be
disposed of and it against postal policy
to dispose of any ballot mailpiece. The
Postal Service is providing a
clarification, to avoid any
misunderstanding, that will state that
the endorsement ‘‘Change Service
Requested’’, is not available for Ballot
Mail.
Ballot Mail that is undeliverable as
addressed must be forwarded to the
voter if a Change of Address notice is on
file or returned to the election office that
sent the Ballot Mail.
We believe this revision will provide
a more efficient mailing experience.
The Postal Service adopts the
described changes to Mailing Standards
of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),
incorporated by reference in the Code of
Federal Regulations.
