**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
The Postal Service has revised Postal Operations Manual (POM) section 632.622a. These changes revise the parcel locker ratio in apartment community buildings from 10:1 to 5:1.
This change is necessary to accommodate an increase in package volume.
Although, the Postal Service had already made this change to the POM, a solicitation was published in the *Federal Register* on December 18, 2020 seeking comments from the public concerning this change. The comment period ran from December 18. 2020 to January 19, 2021, and as of that later date, no comments were received.
The Postal Service will continue to apply the POM provision at issue. You may view the changes to the POM at the following website: *https://about.usps.com/what-we-are-doing/current-initiatives/delivery-growth-management/section-632.pdf* (632.622a).
