AGENCY:

Postal Service^TM.

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Postal Service is amending Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), to reflect changes to prices and mailing standards for competitive products.

DATES:

Effective January 22, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Karen F. Key at [phone], Margaret Pepe [phone], or Garry Rodriguez at [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This final rule describes new prices and product features for competitive products, by class of mail, established by the Governors of the United States Postal Service®. New prices are available under Docket Number CP2023-42 on the Postal Regulatory Commission PRC website at http://www.prc.gov, and on the Postal Explorer® website at http://pe.usps.com.

The Postal Service will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), to reflect changes to prices and mailing standards for the following competitive products:

• Priority Mail Express®.
• Priority Mail®.
• First-Class Package Service®.
• Parcel Select®.
• USPS Retail Ground®.
• Extra Services.
• Return Services.
• Mailer Services.
• Recipient Services.
• Other.

Competitive product prices and changes are identified by product as follows:

Priority Mail Express

Prices

Overall, Priority Mail Express prices will increase 6.6 percent. Priority Mail Express will continue to offer zoned and Flat Rate, Retail and Commercial pricing.

Retail prices will increase an average of 6.7 percent. The Flat Rate Envelope price will increase to $28.75, the Legal Flat Rate Envelope will increase to $28.95, and the Padded Flat Rate Envelope will increase to $29.45.

Commercial prices will increase an average of 6.0 percent.

Priority Mail Express Commercial Base and Plus Pricing Consolidated

The Postal Service is consolidating Priority Mail Express “Commercial Base” and “Commercial Plus” into one “Commercial” price category. Consolidating the “Commercial Base” and “Commercial Plus” price categories will simplify the Priority Mail Express pricing structure. The eligibility standards for Priority Mail Express Commercial will mirror the current “Commercial Base” price category.

Priority Mail

Prices

Overall, Priority Mail prices will increase 5.5 percent. Priority Mail will continue to offer zoned and Flat Rate, Retail and Commercial pricing.

Retail prices will increase an average of 6.8 percent. The Flat Rate Envelope price will increase to $9.65, the Legal Flat Rate Envelope will increase to $9.95, and the Padded Flat Rate Envelope will increase to $10.40. The Small Flat Rate Box price will increase to $10.20, and the Medium Flat Rate Boxes will increase to $17.10. The Large Flat Rate Box will increase to $22.80 and the APO/FPO/DPO Large Flat Rate Box will increase to $21.20.

Commercial prices will increase an average of 3.6 percent.

Priority Mail Commercial Base and Plus Pricing Consolidated

The Postal Service is consolidating the Priority Mail “Commercial Base” and “Commercial Plus” price categories into one “Commercial price category. Consolidating the “Commercial Base” and “Commercial Plus” price categories will simplify the Priority Mail pricing structure. The eligibility standards for Priority Mail Commercial will mirror the current “Commercial Base” price category.

Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes Discontinued

The Postal Service is discontinuing the Priority Mail Regional Rate product offering. The decision to discontinue Regional Rate Boxes will simplify the Priority Mail offering.

First-Class Package Service

Prices

Overall, First-Class Package Service prices will increase 7.8 percent.

First-Class Package Service—Retail prices will increase 6.9 percent.

First-Class Package Service—Commercial prices will increase 8.0 percent.

Parcel Select

Prices

The prices for Parcel Select Destination Entry will increase an average of 5.1 percent. Parcel Select Ground will have a 0.0 percent price change, but prices will be updated in zones 1 and 2.

Return Services

Parcel Return Service

The Postal Service is revising the standards for Parcel Return Service (PRS) to be a competitive product only available through a Negotiated Service Agreement (NSA). As a nonpublished offering, the standards will be removed from the DMM and the prices will be removed from the Price List, Notice 123.

USPS Returns

The Postal Service is discontinuing the Certificate of Mailing and Signature Confirmation extra service options for USPS Returns products.

In an effort to provide product simplification, the Postal Service believes it is in the best interest to no longer offer Certificate of Mailing or Signature Confirmation services for USPS Returns products.

Mailer Services

Pickup on Demand Service

The Pickup on Demand® service fee will increase 6.0 percent to $26.50.

USPS Tracking Plus Service

The USPS Premium Tracking Service^TM prices will remain the same.

USPS Label Delivery Service

The Postal Service is implementing USPS Label Delivery Service^TM to provide customers with an option to have their domestic outbound and return mailing labels printed and delivered for a fee per label at a Post Office where available. USPS Label Delivery Service is not available for APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Customers requesting USPS Label Delivery Service will be provided the tracking information for tracking purposes. A customer may request USPS Label Delivery Service at www.usps.com.

USPS Label Delivery Service is available for Retail and Commercial Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail, First-Class Package Service—Retail, First Class Package Service—Commercial, USPS Retail Ground, Parcel Select Ground, Priority Mail Return service, and First-Class Package Return service.

There are no extra services available with labels requested through USPS Label Delivery Service.

For USPS Label Delivery Service, the Postal Service will refund the postage and USPS Label Delivery Service fee if the label is not delivered. The Postal Service will refund the postage only if the label is delivered and not used.

The price of the weekly shipment charge for PFS-Residential and per container charge for PFS-Local will increase to $25.45.

USPS Package Intercept

The USPS Package Intercept® fee will increase 6.6 percent to $17.00.

Other

Address Enhancement Service

Address Enhancement Service competitive product prices will remain the same.

Small Parcel Forwarding Fee

The small parcel forwarding fee will remain the same at $5.25.

Zone Modification

The Postal Service is modifying zone price categories for all applicable Competitive products. This zone modification will redefine the local zone and remove it as a zone price category. The Postal Service will also split zones 1 and 2 into separate price categories. This will result in nine individual zone price categories.

Additionally, the Postal Service is clarifying that the zone 1 price applies to pieces mailed within the same 3 Digit O/D Pairs and pieces mailed with different 3 Digit O/D Pairs whose centroids are up to 50 miles in distance.

Resources

The Postal Service provides additional resources to assist customers with this price change for competitive products. These tools include price lists, downloadable price files, and Federal Register Notices, which may be found on the Postal Explorer® website at http://pe.usps.com.

We will publish an appropriate amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect these changes.
