SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History, 74 FR 15784 (April 7, 2009).

On May 8, 2009, the Postal Service filed a notice of an amendment to its March 10, 2009 request to add Address Management Services to the Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) as a market dominant product.[1] The Postal Service states that the amendment is occasioned by recent developments regarding the manner in which FASTforward® Move Update Notification (FFMUN) will be offered as a component of Address Management Services.[2] Effective June 1, 2009, FFMUN will no longer be offered as a stand-alone component of Address Management Services, but will, instead, be included in the existing FASTforward MLOCR service with no change in the annual fee for FASTforward MLOCR service. There will no longer be a separate charge for FFMUN service.

The Postal Service states that notice of the proposed changes has already been given to FASTforward licensees through the Postal Service's RIBBS Web site at http://www.usps.com and at the National Association of Presort Mailers conference.

The Commission will review the request and the comments of interested parties and may approve the request, institute further proceedings, permit the Postal Service to modify the request, or take other appropriate action under rule 3020.34.

In Order No. 198, the Commission appointed Robert Sidman to serve as the Public Representative in this proceeding. Mr. Sidman will continue to represent the interests of the general public with respect to the Amendment.

Pursuant to rule 3020.33, the Commission provides interested persons an opportunity to express views and offer comments on whether the planned modifications are consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3622 and 3642. Comments are due no later than May 19, 2009.

It is Ordered:

1. Comments on the Amendment are due no later than May 19, 2009.

2. The Secretary shall arrange for publication of this order in the Federal Register.
