39 CFR Part 111
Extra Services Refund Time Limit Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Postal Service is amending Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual DMM to revise the time limit for extra service refunds.
DATES: Effective Date: April 5, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Sheila Marano at 202 2684257, Adaisja Johnson at 202 2686724, or Garry Rodriguez at 202 2687281.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 14, 2020, the Postal Service published a notice of proposed rulemaking 85 FR
2891728918 to revise the time limit for extra service refunds on all classes of mail except Priority Mail Express.
SUMMARY:
The Postal Service elected to issue a second revised proposed rule on January 7, 2021, 86 FR 10801081 that included revising the timelines for Priority Mail Express with an extra service. One formal response was received as follows:
Comment: The commenter requested the time limit for extra service refunds be revised on all classes of mail except Priority Mail Express.
USPS Response: The Postal Services believes this revision to extend the time limits for filing a refund for all classes of mail will provide consistency within the refund policy.
Currently, DMM Exhibit 604.9.2.1, Postage and Fees Refunds, provides that for Priority Mail Express with an extra service a customer must apply for an extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 30 days, and for all other classes of mail with an extra service a customer must apply for an extra service refund no sooner than 10
days, or no later than 60 days, from the date the service was purchased.
Certain extra services e.g., Certified Mail have workflow timelines that extend beyond the current 10-day limit to initially file for a refund. As a result, to meet the required workflow timelines for these extra services, and for consistency in application of the refund processes, the Postal Service is extending the current Priority Mail Express with an extra service timeline to no sooner than 30 days, or no later than 60 days. For all other classes of mail with an extra service, the 10-day time limit will be extended to a 30-day time limit before a customer can file for a refund.
We believe this revision will provide customers with a more efficient process and a more consistent customer experience.
The Postal Service adopts the following changes to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual DMM, incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 111.1.
