39 CFR Part 111
New Standards for Mailing Adult Fowl
AGENCY: Postal Service
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service revises the requirements for containers
used for mailing adult chickens. The new standards require all mailable
adult fowl, including chickens, to be mailed in containers approved by
the manager of Mailing Standards.
EFFECTIVE DATES: April 12, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bert Olsen, 202-268-7276.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service published a proposal in
the Federal Register (71 FR 32, February 16, 2007) to revise the
standards for mailing containers when shipping chickens. The revised
mailing standards would promote the safety of our employees, customers,
and all mailed adult fowl.
Comments Received
We received one comment. The commenter stated that no birds should
be mailed in the United States because of a chance of spreading bird
diseases.
We have accepted birds in the mail for many years without incident,
and we are comfortable in continuing to provide service to bird
industries as well as individual customers. We are aware of concerns
associated with handling bird containers in transit, and we will
continually monitor and revise our mailing requirements to mitigate
potential risk.
We adopt the following amendments 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.

as well as ducks, geese, and swans are mailable as follows:
a. The mailer must send adult fowl by Express Mail in secure
containers approved by the manager of Mailing Standards (see 608.8.0
for address).
b. The number of birds per parcel must follow the container
manufacturer limits and each bird must weigh more than 6 ounces.
