39 CFR Part 111

 

Indemnity Claims

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This notice corrects a typographical error in Domestic Mail 
Manual (DMM) Issue 47, issued on April 10, 1994. A typographical error 
was made in section S010.2.12a(3) of DMM Issue 47 which caused that 
section, as written, to incorrectly identify the maximum indemnity in 
the event of loss or damage to nonnegotiable documents that cannot be 
reconstructed (provided the sender establishes the value of the 
documents) as $50,000. Consistent with postal standards published in 
prior issues of the DMM, section S010.2.12a(3) should have shown the 
maximum indemnity is $5,000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 10, 1994.
