Postal Service August 3, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Postal Service proposes to amend Publication 52, Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail (Pub 52), to incorporate requirements for mailers to separate all air-eligible hazardous material (HAZMAT) from surface only transportation HAZMAT shipments and other non-HAZMAT items when tendering mail to the Postal Service in the domestic mail. Air eligible products, services or classes include Priority Mail Express[supreg], Priority Mail[supreg], First-Class Package Service[supreg], Priority Mail Return Service[supreg] or First- Class Package Return Service[supreg] and surface only transportation are mail using Parcel Select[supreg], Parcel Select Lightweight[supreg], USPS Retail Ground[supreg], or USPS Ground Return Service [supreg]. Additionally, the Postal Service for consistency will incorporate the current standard operating procedures for separation as it pertains to acceptance and dispatch personnel.
