 39 CFR Part 963

 

Rules of Practice in Proceedings Relative to Violations of the 
Pandering Advertisements Statute

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule makes several technical amendments to reflect 
organizational changes resulting from the Postal Service's recent 
restructuring.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Aspell [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of Postal Service restructuring, 
Customer Services District Managers have become the successor officials 
to Field Division General Managers/Postmasters for, among other things, 
performing certain administrative functions under the pandering 
advertisements statute, 39 U.S.C. 3008. One of these functions is 
issuing violation complaints pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3008(d). The statute 
provides for an administrative hearing if duly requested by the person 
against whom a complaint has been issued. The procedural rules for the 
conduct of such a hearing are contained in 39 CFR part 963.
    Amendment of part 963 is needed to substitute references to the 
Customer Services District Manager for references to the Field Division 
General Manager/Postmaster. An additional amendment also is needed to 
update the citation to the Postmaster General's delegation of 
authority, pursuant to which the rules of practice in part 963 are 
issued by the Judicial Officer.
