New Address Quality Standards for First-Class Mail and Standard Mail
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposed rule provides revisions to Mailing Standards of
the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) that we
will adopt no earlier than 18 months from the publication date of this
notice. Move Update, the process for updating names and addresses, is
currently required for mailers to obtain discounted rates for First-
Class Mail. All address records used on pieces in discounted-rate
mailings of First-Class Mail must be matched with customer-filed
change-of-address orders received and maintained by the USPS using a
USPS-approved method within 185 days of the date of mailing.
Our proposal includes the following changes related to move update
processing: (1) Extending the Move Update requirement to all Standard
Mail and (2) reducing the window for move update processing of names
and addresses used for mailings of discounted First-Class Mail from 185
days to 95 days prior to mailing. The revised timeframe would apply to
all pieces in Standard Mail mailings.
