POSTAL SERVICE

 

Revised PS Form 3526, Statement of Ownership, Management, and 
Circulation

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Interim form; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal Service proposes to revise PS Form 3526, Statement 
of Ownership, Management, and Circulation. Under the revised form, 
publishers of second-class publications will be required to calculate 
the percentage of paid or requested circulation of each publication. 
Publishers will also be required to indicate the date of issue in which 
the Statement of Ownership will be printed. An interim revision of the 
form is being printed for distribution to publishers before October 1, 
1994. A final edition of the form will be based on the comments 
received from this notice. Publishers may use the revised interim form 
or the previous January 1991 edition to meet their filing requirements 
for this year.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 30, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed or delivered to the 
Manager, Business Mail Acceptance, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant 
Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20260-6808. Copies of all written comments 
will be available for inspection and photocopying between 9 a.m. and 4 
p.m., Monday through Friday, in Room 8430 at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Frank DeVito, (212) 613-8765.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Publishers are required to furnish to the 
Postal Service certain information for each of their publications that 
has second-class mail privileges. The Postal Service uses this 
information to determine whether these publications continue to qualify 
for such authorization. 39 U.S.C. 3685.
    PS Form 3526 has been revised on an interim basis for the October 
1, 1994, filing requirement. The final version of the form will be 
based on the comments received from this notice. Publishers may use the 
revised interim form or the previous January 1991 edition to meet their 
filing requirements for this year.
    The interim form has been reduced to standard size paper (8\1/2\ by 
11 inches) and is printed on two sides. The reverse contains space for 
questions concerning circulation of the publication. There are two 
additional pieces of information that will be required from publishers 
under the new form. An additional space is provided for the publisher 
to calculate and report the percentage of paid or requested circulation 
for the publication. In addition, a space has been provided for the 
publisher to provide the date of the issue in which the Statement of 
Ownership will be printed. Alternatively, there is a box that the 
publisher can check if the Statement of Ownership is not required to be 
published.
    These changes will facilitate the processing and use of the form. 
Information provided on PS Form 3526, Statement of Ownership, 
Management, and Circulation, will be used for scheduling the 
eligibility review of the publications, if necessary.

Chief Counsel, Legislative.
