POSTAL SERVICE
39 CFR Part 111
Classification Reform; Implementation Standards
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Corrections to second advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document corrects an advanced notice of proposed
rulemaking published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, August 30,
1995 (60 FR 45298-45323), concerning implementation standards for
classification reform.
DATES: Comments on the second notice must be received on or before
September 29, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written comments to the Manager, Mailing
Standards, USPS Headquarters, 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 6800 at the above address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leo F. Raymond, (202) 268-5199.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After publication, the following elements of
the material in the second notice described above were found in need of
amendment:
1. Regarding First-Class Mail, Retail subclass, Presort rate
category, upgradable letters (60 FR 45309, section I.B.3), and Standard
Mail, Regular subclass, upgradable letters (60 FR 45312, section
II.B.1), the reference to preparation of packages is incorrect. Under
the option for upgradable mail, packaging of mailpieces is not
required. The second sentence therefore should be amended in two places
to replace ``packages'' with ``trays.''
2. Regarding First-Class Mail, Automation subclass, Carrier Route
rate category (letters) (60 FR 45311, section I.C.5), and Standard
Mail, Automation subclass, Carrier Route rate category (letters) (60 FR
45314, section II.C.5), the reference to line-of-travel sequence is
incorrect. This requirement had been considered by the Postal Service
at one time but had not been proposed for retention in this notice.
Accordingly, the respective paragraphs describing line-of-travel
sequencing should be deleted.
3. Regarding the ``Proposed 3-Digit `Scheme Sort' Combinations''
listing (60 FR 45317-45319), the second entry in the Midwest Area for
Springfield, MO, should read ``Springfield, MO (B)'' (60 FR 45318), and
should not duplicate the preceding entry.
4. Regarding Periodicals class, Regular subclass, the numbering and
lettering sequence at 60 FR 45320 is incorrect. ``Basic Rate Category
(421.31)'' should be designated ``a.'' and ``Three- and Five-Digit Rate
Category'' and ``Carrier Route Rate Category'' should be designated
respectively as ``b.'' and ``c.'' ``Regular Subclass Discounts
(421.4)'' should be numbered as ``4.''
5. Regarding Periodicals class rates, chart III-1, ``Periodicals
(Regular and Publications Service subclasses)--Letters'' (60 FR 45323),
the entry for the 5-digit presort level in the ``Publications Service
rate'' column should read ``Publications Service.'' Carrier route rates
apply only to the carrier route and 5-digit carrier routes presort
levels.

Chief Counsel, Legislative.
