SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register (87 FR 36432-36433) on June 17, 2022, the Postal Service proposed to allow approved Caller Service customers with a unique 5-digit ZIP Code to add Customized Address by paying for the right to omit the PO Box number and replacing it with a different approved address line.

In consideration of concerns expressed by members of the mailing community during the proposed rule comment period, the Postal Service has elected to withdraw the proposed rule. Nevertheless, the Postal Service reserves the right to revisit this initiative at a later date.
