| 00-4535 | Proposed Domestic Mail Manual Changes for Sacking and Palletizing Periodicals Nonletters and Standard Mail (A) Flats, for Traying First-Class Flats, and for Labeling Pallets | Proposed Rule | The Postal Service is proposing, for flat-size First-Class Mail and Standard Mail (A) and nonletter-size Periodicals, to allow mailers to combine packages of automation rate mail and packages of Presorted rate mail in the same sack or tray if mailers can provide appropriate presort and rate documentation and use presort accuracy validation and evaluation (PAVE)-certified presort software to prepare the mailing. This co-sacking and co-traying of packages in automation rate and Presorted rate mailings will be permitted at all sack and tray presort levels (5-digit, 3-digit, SCF (Periodicals only), ADC, and Mixed ADC). The Postal Service is also proposing to revise the requirements for preparation of 5-digit pallets to require carrier route rate mail to be placed on separate 5-digit pallets from 5-digit non-carrier route rate mail (automation rate and Presorted rate mail). This means that when preparing 5-digit pallets, mailers will be required to make 5-digit pallets that contain only carrier route sorted mail, and 5-digit pallets that contain both automation rate and Presorted rate mail, except as proposed under the following new preparation option. It is proposed to allow mailers of nonletter-size Periodicals and flat-size Standard Mail (A) to combine carrier route, automation rate, and Presorted rate packages that are part of the same mailing job in the same 5-digit carrier routes sack (to be named a "merged 5-digit" sack) or on the same 5-digit pallet (to be named a "merged 5-digit" pallet) for those 5-digit ZIP Codes where the Postal Service performs carrier route incoming secondary sortation at the delivery unit. The carrier route rate sortation indicator field in the Postal Service's City State Product will be modified to contain information that will identify the 5-digit ZIP Codes where such combinations will be permitted. This field in the City State Product will be renamed the "Carrier Route Indicators" field. It is also proposed to allow packages in the same mailing job that are independently presorted as carrier route, automation, and Presorted rate mailings to be sorted together at the 5-digit level, in both sacks and on pallets, using both the Carrier Route Indicators field in the City State Product and the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) L001 labeling list to prepare "merged 5-digit scheme" sacks or pallets according to additional sortation rules. It is also proposed to revise pallet labeling requirements. | 2000-02-29 | 2000 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/02/29/00-4535/proposed-domestic-mail-manual-changes-for-sacking-and-palletizing-periodicals-nonletters-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-02-29/pdf/00-4535.pdf | Postal Service | 410 | The Postal Service is proposing, for flat-size First-Class Mail and Standard Mail (A) and nonletter-size Periodicals, to allow mailers to combine packages of automation rate mail and packages of Presorted rate mail in the same sack or tray if mailers... |
