ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: On April 9, 2026, the Postal Service (USPS) filed a notice of mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), effective July 12, 2026. This final rule contains the revisions to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) to implement the changes coincident with the price adjustments and other DMM changes. DATES: Effective July 12, 2026. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Mills at (202) 268-7433 or Doriane Harley at (202) 268-2537. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 27, 2026, the PRC favorably reviewed the price adjustments proposed by the Postal Service. The price adjustments and DMM revisions are scheduled to become effective on July 12, 2026. Final prices are available under Docket No. R2026-1 (Order No. 9584) on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website at www.prc.gov. Eliminate ADC Rate Category From Market Dominant Mail Classes The Postal Service will remove ADC/AADC rates for First-Class Mail, USPS Marketing Mail, and Periodicals and replacing with 3-Digit rates. In addition, nomenclature will be revised to label “Mixed ADC”, “Mixed AADC”, and “Mixed NDC” as “Mixed” for First-Class, USPS Marketing Mail, and Periodicals. Restructure Periodicals Outside County Rates Currently, Outside County Periodicals are charged piece, pound, bundle, and container rates. The Postal Service will simplify the Periodicals pricing structure to more closely resemble the USPS Marketing Mail pricing structure. This will include eliminating bundle rates and container rates and expanding the SCF Pallet and 5-digit/Direct Container discounts to include Periodicals. Nonmachinable barcoded/nonbarcoded flats will be priced the same as parcels and ADC entry will be eliminated. Marketing Mail Weight Adjustments and Addition of Heavy Printed Matter The Postal Service is increasing the maximum weight for Marketing Mail automation and non-automation flat-shaped pieces from 16 ounces to 20 ounces and increasing the maximum weight for Carrier Route (CR) flats to 24 ounces. Heavy Printed Matter (HPM) will be introduced for Marketing Mail parcels with a weight limit of 15 pounds for Commercial/Nonprofit non-fulfillment pieces. Add 5D/Direct Container and SCF Pallet Discounts to USPS Marketing Mail Heavy Printed Matter The Postal Service will extend the 5-digit Direct Container and SCF Pallet discounts to Heavy Printed Matter Presorted and Carrier Route parcels. Nonpresorted parcels will not be eligible for these discounts. Minimum Volume Requirement for First-Class Cards and First-Class Letters When Combined in a Mailing Currently, First-Class Mail (FCM) cards and FCM letters that are combined in the same mailing are subject to separate minimum presort volume criteria of 500 mailpieces of each mail type (card and letter). The Postal Service will now allow any combination of FCM Cards and FCM Letters that total 500 or more pieces to be combined into a mailing and presented for mailing at the presort price. This mail must be presented at the same time and on the same postage statement. Package Barcode Quality Noncompliance Fee for Market Dominant Parcels Currently, commercial Competitive parcels are subject to a noncompliance fee when a published set of package barcode quality criteria is not met. The Postal Service will implement a package barcode quality noncompliance fee for Market Dominant parcels, excluding Periodicals parcels and Heavy Printed Matter, that mirrors the existing fee for Competitive parcels. Price Restructure for BPM Flats and Parcels Presorted and Carrier Route Currently, Bound Printed Matter (BPM) presorted and Carrier Route flats and parcels are priced using both a piece and a pound rate. The Postal Service is changing the price structure for these pieces to better align with the price structure for nonpresorted BPM. This will eliminate the pound pricing and piece prices would apply in weight increments from 1 to 15 pounds based on entry of None (Origin), DSCF, or DDU. Elimination of Bundling for Marketing Mail Flats Prepared in Flat Trays Currently, mail preparation and presort options for USPS Marketing Mail flats presented in flat trays allow for bundling. The Postal Service is eliminating bundling for USPS Marketing Mail automation and nonautomation flats prepared in flat trays to align with current processing operations. 2027 Mailing Promotions The Postal Service has been incenting mailers to integrate mobile technology and use innovative print techniques in commercial mail since 2012. These promotions have become an integral way for industry to try new things and innovate their mail campaigns. A 2027 Promotions Calendar is planned with opportunities for mailers to receive a postage discount by applying treatments or integrating technology into their mail campaigns. In addition to the slated 2027 promotions, the Postal Service is introducing two new promotions, Impact Messaging and Direct Mail Discovery. These revisions will provide consistency within postal products and add value for customers. The Postal Service received one formal comment on the May 2026 proposed rule (91 FR 19274-19310). • Comment: The commenter requested clarification to 207.22.7 and 207.25 for Origin entry SCF trays. Response: The Postal Service has the standards to reflect Origin entry SCF tray preparation as required. • Comment: The commenter requested clarification to the basic requirements for HPM. Response: The Postal Service has revised 243.9.1 to clarify HPM requirements. The Postal Service adopts the described changes to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. We will publish an appropriate amendment to 39 CFR part 111 to reflect these changes. List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 111 Administrative practice and procedure, Postal Service.

For details see PostalPro at https://postalpro.usps.com. 9.2 Nonpresorted Heavy Printed Matter Apply the prices and discounts for nonpresorted Heavy Printed Matter (HPM) as follows: 9.2.1 Prices Nonpresorted HPM prices are based on the weight of a single addressed piece or one pound, whichever is heavier. The nonpresorted price applies to HPM not mailed at the Presorted or carrier route prices. For prices, see Notice 123-Price List. 9.2.2 Price Application The nonpresorted HPM price is charged per half-pound from 1 through 5 pounds, and per pound from more than 5 through 15 pounds. For pieces weighing 5 pounds or under, any fraction of a half-pound is considered a whole half-pound. For pieces weighing more than 5 but not more than 15 pounds, any fraction of a pound is considered a whole pound. For example, if a HPM item weighs 4.325 pounds, the weight (postage) increment is 4.5 pounds; if an item weighs 6.25 pounds, the weight (postage) increment is 7 pounds. The minimum postage price per piece is the 1-pound price. 9.2.3 Catalog Incentive Discount Items qualifying as a catalog under 601.10.0 are eligible for an incentive discount when appropriately identified on the postage statement and/or the eDoc. 9.3 Presorted and Carrier Route Heavy Printed Matter Apply the prices, fees, and discounts for Regular and Nonprofit Presorted and Carrier Route Heavy Printed Matter as follows: 9.3.1 Prices Postage is determined by adding the per-piece charge and the corresponding per-pound charge of each addressed piece. For prices, see Notice 123-Price List. 9.3.2 Price Application The presorted Heavy Printed Matter price and Carrier Route price has a per piece charge and a per pound charge. Pricing is based on two weight tiers: up to 2.5 pounds and over 2.5 pounds. The following pallet discounts apply to Presorted and Carrier Route Heavy Printed Matter: a. The SCF-pallet discount applies to Presorted and Carrier Route eligible Heavy Printed Matter parcels that are palletized and entered at Origin or DSCF/LPC entry. b.

To determine single-piece weight in a mailing of identical-weight pieces, weigh a sample of at least 10 randomly selected pieces and divide the total sample weight by the number of pieces. Express all single-piece weights in decimal pounds rounded off to two decimal places. 9.3.5 Computing Postage Presorted and Carrier Route Heavy Printed Matter mailings are charged a per pound price and a per piece price as follows: a. Per-Piece Charge. The per-piece charge is computed based on the total number of addressed pieces for each price category claimed. b. Per-Pound Charge. The per-pound charge is computed based on the total weight of the addressed pieces for each price category claimed and is added to the per-piece charge to determine total postage. c. For each price or price category, multiply the number of addressed pieces by the corresponding price per piece and multiply the unrounded total weight of the pieces by the corresponding price per pound; round off each product to four decimal places. d. Add the per piece and per pound charges and round off the total postage to the nearest whole cent. 9.3.6 Catalog Incentive Discount Items qualifying as a catalog under 601.10.0 are eligible for an incentive discount when appropriately identified on the postage statement and/or the eDoc. 9.4 Extra Services for Heavy Printed Matter 9.4.1 Available Services Only the following extra services may be used with Heavy Printed Matter parcels: a.

Mailers may combine Nonprofit nonstandard priced parcels with regular nonstandard parcels in sacks under 13.2.3. 13.2.3 Sacking and Labeling Preparation sequence and labeling: a. 5-digit/scheme (optional),see definition in 1.4n; allowed only for mail deposited at a DSCF/RPDC or DDU/SDC. Sacks must contain a 10 piece or 20-pound minimum except at DDU/SDC entry, which has no minimum; labeling: 1. Line 1: For 5-digit scheme sacks, use L606, Column B. For 5-digit sacks, use city, state, and 5-digit ZIP Code destination on pieces (see 203.5.11 for overseas military mail). 2. Line 2: For 5-digit scheme sacks, “HPM NONSTD 5D SCH”. For 5-digit sacks, “HPM NONSTD 5D”. b. 3-digit, 10 piece or 20-pound minimum; labeling: 1. For Line 1, Use L002, Column A. 2. For Line 2, “HPM NONSTD 3D”. c. SCF, 10 piece or 20-pound minimum; labeling: 1. For Line 1, Use L051. 2. For Line 2, “HPM NONSTD SCF”. d. Mixed (required); no minimum; labeling: 1. Line 1: “MXD WKG”. 2.

[Add a section 14.0 to read as follows:] 14.0 Preparing Heavy Printed Matter Carrier-Route Parcels 14.1 Basic Standards 14.1.1 General Standards for Carrier Route Preparation All mailings of carrier-route Heavy Printed Matter (HPM) are subject to the standards in 14.2 through 14.4 and to these general standards: a. Each mailing must meet the applicable eligibility standards in 243, mail preparation standards in 2.0, through 4.0, and deposit and entry standards in 246. b. All pieces in a mailing must be within the same processing category as described in 201.7.0. A Heavy Printed Matter nonstandard parcel is a piece that is not a machinable parcel as defined in 201.7.5.1. Nonstandard parcels also are pieces that meet the size and weight standards for a machinable parcel but are not individually boxed or packaged to withstand processing on RPDC parcel sorters under 601.3.0 and 601.4.0. c. All pieces must be sorted to the finest extent possible under 9.0, or palletized under 705.8.0. d. Subject to 202.3.0, pieces must be marked “Heavy Printed Matter” (or “HPM”) and “Carrier Route Presort” (or “CAR-RT SORT”). 14.1.2 Residual Pieces Residual pieces not sorted under 14.2 and 14.3 may be prepared as a Presorted Heavy Printed Matter mailing under 13.0, provided that they are part of the same mailing job and reported on the same postage statement. Residual pieces paid at the presorted price do not need to meet a separate 200 piece/50 pound minimum. These pieces must be separated from the Carrier Route portion when presented to the USPS for verification. 14.2 Preparing Nonstandard Parcels Weighing Less Than 10 Pounds 14.2.1 Bundle Preparation Bundling is not required in direct carrier route sacks. Otherwise, a carrier route bundle (or bundles) must be prepared when the quantity of addressed pieces for a carrier route reaches a minimum of 10 pieces or 20 pounds, whichever occurs first. Smaller volumes are not permitted. The maximum weight of each physical bundle is 40 pounds. Each bundle must contain at least two addressed pieces except for the last bundle for each carrier route destination under 203.4.10. Bundles must be labeled with a facing slip unless the bundle is labeled using a carrier route information line (204.3.0) or an optional endorsement line (203.7.0). Bundling also is subject to these conditions: a. Identical-weight pieces that weigh 2 pounds or less must be prepared using the 10-piece minimum; those that weigh more must be prepared using the 20-pound minimum. b. For nonidentical-weight pieces, mailers must either use the minimum that applies to the average piece weight for the entire mailing (divide the net weight of the mailing by the number of pieces; the resulting average single-piece weight determines whether the 10-piece or 20-pound minimum applies), or bundle by the actual piece count or mail weight for each bundle destination, provided that documentation can be provided with the mailing that shows (specifically for each bundle) the number of pieces and their total weight. c. Mailers must note on the accompanying postage statement whether they applied the piece count, weight, or both. 14.2.2 Required Sacking Mailers may prepare nonstandard parcels as unsacked bundles under 203.4.10 or in bundles on pallets. Otherwise, mailers must prepare a direct carrier route sack when the quantity of mail for an individual carrier route reaches either 10 addressed pieces or 20 pounds, whichever occurs first; smaller volumes are not permitted. Mailers then must place remaining bundles in 5-digit scheme carrier routes sacks or 5-digit carrier routes sacks, which have no minimum sack size. Carrier route sacks also are subject to these conditions: a. Identical-weight pieces that weigh 2 pounds or less must be prepared using the 10-piece minimum; those that weigh more must be prepared using the 20-pound minimum. b. For nonidentical-weight pieces, mailers must either use the minimum that applies to the average piece weight for the entire mailing (divide the net weight of the mailing by the number of pieces; the resulting average single-piece weight determines whether the 10-piece or 20-pound minimum applies), or sack by the actual piece count or mail weight for each sack destination, provided that documentation can be provided with the mailing that shows (specifically for each sack) the number of pieces and their total weight. c. Mailers must note on the accompanying postage statement whether they applied the piece count or weight. 14.2.3 Sack Preparation Sack preparation sequence and Line 1 labeling: a. Carrier route: required; for Line 1, use city, state, and 5-digit ZIP Code on mail (see 203.5.11 for overseas military mail). b. 5-digit scheme carrier routes: optional (no minimum); for Line 1, use L606, Column B. c. 5-digit carrier routes: required (no minimum); for Line 1, use city, state, and 5-digit ZIP Code destination of bundles (for military mail, the ZIP Code is preceded by the prefixes under 4.0). 14.2.4 Sack Label Line 2 Line 2 information: a. Carrier route: “HPM NONSTD CR,” followed by the route type and number. b. 5-digit scheme carrier routes: “HPM NONSTD CR-RTS SCH.” c. 5-digit carrier routes: “HPM NONSTD CR-RTS.” 14.3 Preparing Nonstandard Parcels Weighing 10 Pounds or More Mailers may prepare nonstandard parcels as unsacked bundles under 203.4.10 or in bundles on pallets. When preparing nonstandard parcels in sacks, place parcels only in direct carrier-route sacks. Each carrier route sack must contain a minimum of 20 pounds. Required preparation: a. Line 1: use city, state, and 5-digit ZIP Code destination of the pieces. b. Line 2: “HPM NONSTD CR,” followed by the route type and number. 14.4 Preparing Machinable Parcels 14.4.1 Required Carrier Route Sacking Machinable parcels may be prepared only in direct carrier route sacks. Each carrier route sack must contain a minimum of 10 addressed pieces or 20 pounds, whichever occurs first. Carrier route sacks also are subject to these conditions: a. Identical-weight pieces that weigh 2 pounds or less must be prepared using the 10-piece minimum; those that weigh more must be prepared using the 20-pound minimum. b. For nonidentical-weight pieces, mailers must use either the minimum that applies to the average piece weight for the entire mailing (divide the net weight of the mailing by the number of pieces; the resulting average single-piece weight determines whether the 10-piece or 20-pound minimum applies), or sack by the actual piece count or mail weight for each sack destination, provided that documentation can be provided with the mailing that shows (specifically for each sack) the number of pieces and their total weight. c. Mailers must note on the accompanying postage statement whether they applied the piece count or weight. 14.4.2 Sack Label Required preparation: a. Line 1: Use city, state, and 5-digit ZIP Code destination of the pieces. b.
