39 CFR Part 111


Classification Reform; Implementation Standards

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Corrections to second advance notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects an advanced notice of proposed 
rulemaking published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, August 30, 
1995 (60 FR 45298-45323), concerning implementation standards for 
classification reform.

DATES: Comments on the second notice must be received on or before 
September 29, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written comments to the Manager, Mailing 
Standards, USPS Headquarters, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 
20260-2419. 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 6800 at the above address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leo F. Raymond, (202) 268-5199.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After publication, the following elements of 
the material in the second notice described above were found in need of 
amendment:
    1. Regarding First-Class Mail, Retail subclass, Presort rate 
category, upgradable letters (60 FR 45309, section I.B.3), and Standard 
Mail, Regular subclass, upgradable letters (60 FR 45312, section 
II.B.1), the reference to preparation of packages is incorrect. Under 
the option for upgradable mail, packaging of mailpieces is not 
required. The second sentence therefore should be amended in two places 
to replace ``packages'' with ``trays.''
    2. Regarding First-Class Mail, Automation subclass, Carrier Route 
rate category (letters) (60 FR 45311, section I.C.5), and Standard 
Mail, Automation subclass, Carrier Route rate category (letters) (60 FR 
45314, section II.C.5), the reference to line-of-travel sequence is 
incorrect. This requirement had been considered by the Postal Service 
at one time but had not been proposed for retention in this notice. 
Accordingly, the respective paragraphs describing line-of-travel 
sequencing should be deleted.
    3. Regarding the ``Proposed 3-Digit `Scheme Sort' Combinations'' 
listing (60 FR 45317-45319), the second entry in the Midwest Area for 
Springfield, MO, should read ``Springfield, MO (B)'' (60 FR 45318), and 
should not duplicate the preceding entry.
    4. Regarding Periodicals class, Regular subclass, the numbering and 
lettering sequence at 60 FR 45320 is incorrect. ``Basic Rate Category 
(421.31)'' should be designated ``a.'' and ``Three- and Five-Digit Rate 
Category'' and ``Carrier Route Rate Category'' should be designated 
respectively as ``b.'' and ``c.'' ``Regular Subclass Discounts 
(421.4)'' should be numbered as ``4.''
    5. Regarding Periodicals class rates, chart III-1, ``Periodicals 
(Regular and Publications Service subclasses)--Letters'' (60 FR 45323), 
the entry for the 5-digit presort level in the ``Publications Service 
rate'' column should read ``Publications Service.'' Carrier route rates 
apply only to the carrier route and 5-digit carrier routes presort 
levels.
