Postal Service September 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Postal Service is proposing to amend Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) to revise the process for calculating postage on a Periodicals publication pending authorization.

On August 20, 2021, The Postal Service amended its regulations regarding the screening of mail to be consistent with aviation regulations regarding the transportation of mail via aircraft; continue to enhance the security and ensure the safety of all persons and property onboard aircraft carrying mail; and prevent and deter the carriage of unauthorized explosives, incendiaries, or other destructive substances or items in the mail or in postal products transported onboard aircraft. This final rule is being published for the sole purpose of correcting a citational error, and no substantive changes have been made to the regulation as published on August 20, 2021.

The Postal Service gives notice of filing a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission to add a domestic shipping services contract to the list of Negotiated Service Agreements in the Mail Classification Schedule's Competitive Products List.
