SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed prices will be available under Docket No. R20212 on the Postal Regulatory Commissions website at www.prc.gov.
The Postal Services proposed rule includes: Changes to prices, mail classification updates, product simplification efforts, and a few minor revisions to the DMM.
Direct Pallet Discount for Marketing Mail High Density Flats The Postal Service is proposing to offer additional discounts to move additional USPS Marketing Mail High Density flats to direct pallets.
Flat shaped pieces on direct pallets are operationally desirable, pallets can be directly cross docked to the Destination Delivery Units DDUs.
These pallets consist of Carrier Route and finer sorted bundles such as High Density, High Density Plus, and Saturation. The nature of their make-up allows the Postal Service to avoid moving these pallets to bundle sorters within the plant, sorting the bundles, and moving these bundles back to the dock to be transported to the DDU.
First-Class Mail Nonautomation Letters Change Currently, the rate structure for all nonautomation letters only offers one price for machinable and nonmachinable letters and a nonmachinable surcharge for pieces that are nonmachinable.
The Postal Service is proposing to offer two prices for machinable letters, AADC and Mixed AADC; and three prices for nonmachinable letters, 5-digit, 3-digit, and Mixed ADC. This structural change will reduce revenue at risk and better align prices for customers mailing nonautomation letters, machinable and nonmachinable. This change will also eliminate the nonmachinable surcharge applicable to nonautomation presort letters.
