The Postal Service seeks public comment on proposed revisions to the service standards for market-dominant mail products. The Postal Service proposes to apply a two-day service standard to intra-Sectional Center Facility (SCF) First-Class Mail where the SCF is both the origin and destination Processing & Distribution Center or Facility (P&DC/F), and to intra-SCF and inter-SCF First-Class Mail if the combined drive time between the origin P&DC/F, destination Area Distribution Center (ADC), and destination SCF is 3 hours or less. For inter-SCF First- Class Mail within the 48 contiguous states (which include, for purposes of these standards, the District of Columbia) where the combined drive time between the origin P&DC/F, destination ADC, and destination SCF is more than 3 hours, but does not exceed 20 hours, the Postal Service proposes a three-day service standard; the same standard would apply for intra-SCF First-Class Mail if the combined drive time exceeds 3 hours and the SCF is not the origin P&DC/F. The Postal Service proposes a four-day service standard for inter-SCF First-Class Mail within the 48 contiguous states where the combined drive time between the origin P&DC/F, destination ADC, and destination SCF is more than 20 hours, but does not exceed 41 hours; and for certain First-Class Mail originating from and/or destined to certain portions of the non-contiguous states and territories. A five-day service standard would apply in the 48 contiguous states if the combined drive time between the origin P&DC/F, destination ADC, and destination SCF exceeds 41 hours, and also for other First-Class Mail originating from and/or destined to the non-contiguous states and territories. The Postal Service also proposes to apply a three-to-six-day service standard for certain Periodicals, rather than the current three-to-four-day standard, because they are merged with First-Class Mail.

As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens, and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the following information collections. Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. No person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a valid OMB control number.
