SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Postal Service published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 14, 2011 (76 FR 41413), amending the retail facility discontinuance regulations in 39 CFR part 241. In sections I.H (Notice to Customers Served by Suspended Facility) (76 FR 41416), I.K (Emergency Suspensions) (76 FR 41417), and I.O (Procedural Recommendations) (76 FR 41418) of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION in the preamble, the Postal Service erroneously cited 39 CFR 241.3(a)(4)(iii), which should have referred, in sections I.H and I.K, to subparagraph 241.3(a)(5)(iv) and, in section I.O, to subparagraph 241.3(a)(5)(iii).

In addition, subparagraph 241.3(a)(5)(iv) of the regulations contained in the final rule (76 FR 41421-22) contained erroneous cross-references to clause 241.3(a)(4)(i)(B) and subparagraph 241.3(a)(4)(iii), which should have referred to the respective provisions of paragraph 241.3(a)(5) instead. This final rule corrects the errors in 39 CFR 241.3(a)(5)(iv).

The Postal Service hereby adopts the following changes to 39 CFR part 241.
