POSTAL SERVICE

39 CFR Part 501


Authorization To Manufacture and Distribute Postage Evidencing 
Systems; Correction

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: On December 4, 2020, the Postal Service published a final rule 
concerning decertifying and withdrawing all non-Intelligent Mail 
Indicia compliant Postage Evidencing Systems. That document incorrectly 
listed the date decertified indicia may not be recognized as valid 
postage for use or refunds in one section of the rule edits. This 
document corrects the final regulation.

DATES: This correcting amendment is effective December 10, 2020.

Systems Analyst, [email protected], (202) 268-5686.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rule published on December 4, 
2020, 85 FR 78234, in Sec.  501.20, the Postal Service listed the 
effective date that decertified indicia may not be recognized as valid 
postage for use or refunds as June 20, 2025. This should instead read 
June 30, 2025. The Postal Service makes this change below.
