POSTAL SERVICE

39 CFR Part 111


New Mailing Standards for Domestic Mailing Services Products

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 6, 2017, the Postal Service (USPS[supreg]) filed a 
notice of mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory 
Commission (PRC) in Docket No. R2018-1. On October 13, 2017 the Postal 
Service published a proposed rule containing the revisions to Mailing 
Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual 
(DMM[supreg]) that we planned to adopt to implement rule changes 
coincident with the price adjustments.

DATES: Effective: January 21, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacqueline Erwin at (202) 268-2158, or 
Lizbeth Dobbins at (202) 268-3789.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 9, 2017, the PRC found that the 
price adjustments proposed by the Postal Service may take effect as 
planned. The price adjustments and DMM revisions are scheduled to 
become effective on January 21, 2018. Final prices are available under 
Docket No. R2018-1 (Order No. 4215) on the Postal Regulatory 
Commission's Web site at www.prc.gov. The Postal Service's final rule 
includes: a change to the pallet preparation for Carrier Route (CR) 
Pallets in Non-FSS Zones, a change to add Bound Printed Matter Flats up 
to 24 ounces to comail with USPS Marketing Mail and Periodicals (DSCF 
or DDU only), and a Zone chart revision for Priority Mail to APO/FPO/
DPO processing at Chicago ISC.

Comments on Proposed Changes and USPS Response

    The Postal Service received 1 formal comment on the October 13, 
2017 proposed rule.

Zone Charts Revision: Priority Mail to APO/FPO/DPO Processing at 
Chicago ISC

    One comment requested that the Postal Service reconsider changing 
APO/FPO/DPO mail processing at Chicago ISC, based on needing more study 
on negative, financial consequences on US Service members, their 
families and businesses that serve them.

USPS Response

    The Postal Service is revising Zone charts for Priority Mail to 
APO/FPO/DPO, which is processed at the Chicago ISC, based on 
operational needs. This revision reflects current operations and is 
consistent with Title 39 and former Postal Rate Commission precedent 
regarding the alignment of rates and costs for mail classification. It 
is necessary to align rates and costs for Priority Mail addressed to 
APO/FPO/DPO destinations, and eliminate inconsistencies between rates 
and costs for such Priority Mail.
    The Proposed Rule is not a sudden, unforeseeable change in policy. 
The transfer of processing operations to the Chicago ISC, and the 
resulting inconsistency between Zone classification and transportation 
costs, occurred in 2013. For over three years, mailers had an 
opportunity to assess the potential impact of this change on future 
operations, and some businesses responded to the change by relocating 
their operations in anticipation of a potential reclassification of 
zones necessary to align rates and costs.
    The resulting changes to DMM 608 are shown below.
