Revisions to Standards Concerning Physical Mailpiece Dimensions, Addressing, and Address Placement

The Postal Service published in the Federal Register (59 FR 31178-31183) on June 17, 1994, a proposal to amend the Domestic Mail Manual concerning standards defining a mailpiece's dimensions and relating them to processing category and other criteria, as well as standards concerning the content and placement of delivery and return addresses; the location of, and the use of a ZIP Code or ZIP+4 code in, the return address on certain mail; terms related to post office boxes and standards for their use in addressing mail; and the prohibition of dual addresses on certain types of mail. The Postal Service requested comments by August 1, 1994. Owing to the needs of the mailing public, from whom several requests for additional time were received, the Postal Service extended the comment period to September 16, 1994 (59 FR 37190). Continuing interest from customers has prompted the Postal Service to further extend the comment period, to October 31, 1994, and to schedule a public meeting on October 20, 1994 (announced separately in this issue of the Federal Register), for discussion of the proposed rule.
