Revisions to Standards Concerning Physical Mailpiece Dimensions, 
Addressing, and Address Placement 
AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: 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 is extending the comment period to September 16, 1994.

DATES: Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before 
September 16, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written comments to the Manager, Mailing 
Standards, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 
20260-2419. Copies of all written comments will be available for 
inspection and photocopying between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through 
Friday, in room 5610 at the above address.
