Loading Requirements for PVDS Mailings

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

SUMMARY: The Postal Service published in the Federal Register (64 FR

that if Periodicals mail is on the same vehicle as Standard Mail 
prepared for Plant Verified Drop Shipment (PVDS), then the Periodicals 
mail must be loaded toward the tail end of the vehicle so that, for 
each destination entry, Periodicals mail can be offloaded first. The 
Postal Service is extending the comment period for this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 15, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed or delivered to the 
Manager, Mail Preparation and Standards, U.S. Postal Service, 475 
L'Enfant Plaza SW, Room 6800, Washington DC 20260-2405. Fax: (202) 268-
4336. Copies of all written comments will be available for inspection 
and photocopying at USPS Headquarters Library, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, 
11th Floor N, Washington DC 20260-1540 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,
