SUMMARY: The Postal Service published in the Federal Register (62 FR

through D042.2.7 of the Domestic Mail Manual to update and clarify 
procedures for delivery of an addressee's mail to a Commercial Mail 
Receiving Agency (CMRA). The proposal provides procedures for 
registration to act as a CMRA; an addressee to request mail delivery to 
a CMRA; and in delivery of the mail to a CMRA. The Postal Service 
requested comments by September 26, 1997. Due to several requests 
received for additional time, the Postal Service is extending the 
comment period to December 24, 1997.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule change must be received on or 
before December 24, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Representatives of the CMRA industry 
interested in the proposed update and clarification of procedures for 
delivery of an addressee's mail to a CMRA, has requested an extension 
of time to file comments regarding the proposed rules published on 
August 27, 1997. Central to this request is an asserted oversight by 
the industry organizations and CMRA operators of the Federal Register 
publication of August 27. The Postal Service believes that the public 
interest will be served by the fullest practicable exposition of facts 
concerning this issue and accordingly extends the time for comments 
until December 24, 1997.
