EXPRESS MAIL SERVICE 

International and Domestic Express Mail Pieces Receive the Same Level of Service 

International Express Mail pieces receive the same 

level of service as Domestic Express Mail pieces. 

Foreign countries sending mail via Express Mail service 

use a variety of label styles for Express Mail; however, they 

all use the same logo. To easily identify the mail that is to 

receive Express Mail service initiated in the foreign countries, 

the Postal Service has developed a standard label — 

PS Form 5626, Global Express Mail Service–Delivery Receipt 

for Inbound EMS Service — that has similar features 

to the Domestic label (Label 11-B, Express Mail Post Office 

to Addressee). The Postal Service employee places a PS 

Form 5626 on each International Express Mail piece the 

first time it is entered into the U.S. Postal Service processing 

environment. 

One difference between the two labels is that the 

Domestic Label 11-B does indicate the scheduled delivery 

date and time, whereas PS Form 5626 applied to international 

Express Mail does not indicate the scheduled delivery 

date and time. However, PS Form 5626 does indicate 

the date and time of the arrival of the Express Mail piece 

into the U.S. Postal Service processing environment. This 

information is not to be used as the determining factor as to 

whether or not the International Express Mail piece has 

failed its commitment. There are other scanning events that 

are not noted on the label, such as out-of-Customs scans, 

that determine the date and time of delivery. This is why it is 

very important that the delivery unit delivers an International 

Express Mail piece the day it arrives in the delivery unit, 

just like a Domestic Express Mail piece. 

On page 4, there is a visual aid showing both PS Form 

5626 and Label 11-B and indicating that both use the 

Express Mail logo and receive the same level of service. In 

addition to the two labels, there is a picture of the logo used 

by foreign countries on their Express Mail pieces. It is the 

same logo as the domestic logo, except it has different colors 

— orange is used for the lines in the logo, and the lettering 

is blue. 

In an effort to provide employee awareness, please remove 

page 4 (or make a copy of it) and post it in any area 

of your facility where Express Mail is processed. All supervisors 

and carriers should be made aware of the service 

commitment to deliver International Express Mail.

ASM REVISION 

Maintenance Operating Plan Requirements 

Effective October 3, 2002, Administrative Support 

Manual (ASM) 13 is revised to add section 531.24, which 

includes sections 531.241 through 531.247. We added the 

new section to include policy and procedures for establishing, 

updating, and using the maintenance operating 

plan. The maintenance operating plan is a database of information 

that contains details about operating processes 

and procedures that are integral to the Maintenance 

organization. 

We will incorporate this revision into the printed version 

of ASM 14 and into an incremental update of the online 

ASM 13, which is accessible through the Postal Service 

— Policies and Procedures Information, 

Public Affairs and Communications, 10-3-02

[Add section 531.24, which includes sections 531.241 

through 531.247, to read as follows:] 

531.24 Maintenance Operating Plan 

531.241 Definition 

The maintenance operating plan is a structured database 

of information that provides details about operating processes 

and procedures integral to the maintenance organization. 

The Maintenance Technical Support Center 

(MTSC) provides the software tool that enables each site to 

build and maintain the database. Each locally identified 

process and procedure is developed by the Maintenance 

staff to provide information on the tasks, responsible parties, 

methods, best practices, standard operating procedures, 

suppliers, customers, associated contracts, critical 

contacts, supporting documentation, frequency, goals, and 

results. 

531.242 Purpose of the Maintenance Operating Plan 

The primary objectives of the maintenance operating plan 

are to: 

a. Identify and define tasks that Maintenance organizations 

at the local level use. 

b. Assign responsibilities for the identified process and 

its attendant procedures. 

c. Assess each process to determine the appropriate 

procedures and methods needed to accomplish each 

task and define its relationship to supporting the local 

facility. 

d. Incorporate and share best practices and standard 

operating procedures from other facilities and 

locations. 

e. Make available and share accumulated data from the 

plan with the entire maintenance workforce in the 

facility. 

531.243 Requirements for Developing the Plan 

Maintenance managers or senior Maintenance officials are 

responsible for developing the maintenance operating plan 

and must develop the plan as follows: 

a. Use the format and tool (i.e., software application), 

which MTSC provides, to develop the maintenance 

operating plan. 

b. Consider including in the plan, all tasks that personnel 

or contractors perform for the site. 

c. Develop a plan that includes at least the processes 

and procedures that MTSC has identified and included 

in the plan template, which is available on the 

MTSC Web site. 

d. Identify other processes and procedures that are 

local or specific to a site and use the plan to continue 

to develop and improve those processes and 

procedures. 

531.244 Requirements to Update the Plan 

Once established, the maintenance operating plan must be 

kept current by the local maintenance manager. When procedures, 

tasks, or personnel change, the responsible manager 

must: 

a. Update the plan to keep it current. 

b. Make the changes available to everyone on the 

Maintenance staff. 

531.245 Use of Information in the Plan 

Information (in print or soft form) in the maintenance operating 

plan defines and quantifies the maintenance function 

on a local facility level. This information must be up-to-date 

and readily available to the management (within and outside 

of the Maintenance organization) and Maintenance 

staff in the facility to facilitate actions covered by the plan. 

The report features of the maintenance operating plan allow 

review of tasks assigned to individuals for accountability, 

workload balancing, and transition when responsible 

parties leave the department. New members of the Maintenance 

staff or Facility Management can use the information 

to develop an understanding of the tasks performed by 

maintenance and the processes and procedures used to 

accomplish those tasks. 

531.246 Types of Reports 

The reports available in the plan include: 

a. Alert report. A list of scheduled tasks in advance of 

the required time or tasks that are due. 

b. Contract report. Specific information about contracts 

that support tasks within the plan. 

c. Customer report. A list of customers (individuals and 

groups) that are defined by the user. 

d. Detailed report. One-page summaries of all information 

entered about a specific task. 

e. Task report. One-line listings covering all tasks defined 

in the plan. 

f. Responsibility report. A list of tasks by primary responsibility 

assignments. 

g. Trigger report. A list of every task performed or required 

as the result of some activity (e.g., new manuals, 

subcontractor on site, or relocation).

Domestic Mail 

DMM REVISION 

Additional Placement Option for Address Change Service Participant Code 

Effective October 3, 2002, Domestic Mail Manual 

(DMM) M013 is revised to allow placement of an Address 

Change Service (ACS) participant code on the mailpiece 

directly above the address and below the ancillary service 

endorsement when the endorsement is located directly 

above the address block. This new optional location is limited 

to letter-size machinable pieces (see DMM C050) with 

or without a barcode. The ACS participant code and ancillary 

service endorsement must be printed in a non-narrow 

variant of Helvetica or Arial sans serif font in the range of 10 

to 12 points. 

This additional location allows the mail to become eligible 

for the new Postal Automation Redirection System 

(PARS). PARS is a pilot program designed to improve the 

processing of undeliverable-as-addressed mail, as well as 

the address notification process. It may also permit additional 

mailers to participate in the ACS program. 

Mailers are reminded that the only ancillary service endorsements 

permitted with ACS are “Address Service Requested” 

and “Change Service Requested.” 

We will incorporate these revisions into the printed version 

of DMM 58 and into the monthly update of the online 

DMM available via Postal Explorer at http://pe.usps.gov.

2.3 ACS Code in OEL 

If an Address Change Service (ACS) participant code 

(see 3.0) is used in an OEL on a label or in an address 

block, the delimiter symbol (#) must be in the first 

position at the left margin of the OEL, followed by the 

11 

seven-character USPS-assigned ACS participant code, 

then one blank space. The remaining blank spaces between 

the left-justified delimiter and ACS participant code 

and the first character of the right-justified mail sortation information 

of the OEL must be filled with asterisks. 

2.4 No ACS Code in OEL 

If an ACS participant code is not placed in the OEL as permitted 

by 3.2 or is not used at all, the OEL must be filled 

with asterisks from the left margin of the label or address 

block (as defined by the position of the first character 

printed at the left margin in the label or address block) up to 

the first character in the OEL.

3.0 ADDRESS CHANGE SERVICE 

3.1 Participant Code 

The Address Change Service (ACS) participant code is 

provided to authorized mailers by the National Customer 

Support Center (NCSC) (see G043 for address). The participant 

code consists of seven alpha characters, aligned 

left, and must be preceded by a single pound sign (#) 

delimiter. 

3.2 Placement 

The ACS participant code may be placed in one of two 

positions: 

a. In the optional endorsement line.The participant code 

must occupy the first eight positions on the left side of 

the OEL and be formatted as provided in 2.3. 

b. On the mailpiece or an address label directly below 

the ancillary service endorsement, left-justified, when 

the endorsement is placed directly above the address 

block, if these additional standards are met: 

(1) The mailpiece must be letter-size and machinable 

(see C050), with or without a barcode, or 

letter-size 

C810). 

and automation-compatible (see 

(2) If mailer keyline information is used, it must be 

the top line of the address block. For automation-rate 

letters, the delivery point barcode may 

not be placed above a mailer keyline.


(3) If a window envelope is used, the clearance between 

the top line (mailer keyline) of the address 

block and the top edge of the address window 

must be at least 1/25 inch. This clearance must 

be maintained during the range of movement of 

the insert in the envelope.

“Change Service Requested” Endorsement With Delivery Confirmation or Signature 

Confirmation 


(DMM) E610.9.0, F010.5.1, F010.5.3, and F010.5.4 are revised 

to allow mailers the option to use the “Change Service 

Requested” ancillary service endorsement with either 

Delivery Confirmation service or, where available, Signature 

Confirmation service. This revision still prohibits 

the use of any other special service or the mailing of live 

animals with “Change Service Requested.” DMM F010.5.2, 

F010.5.5, and F030.5.3 are also revised for editorial consistency 

and improved presentation. 

This revision to the standards for “Change Service Requested” 

removes a restriction that conflicts with the needs 

of many mailers and, in particular, the needs of shippers of 

perishable merchandise such as fruits and other edible 

products that are likely to spoil within a short period. In 

many cases it is impractical to redirect undeliverable-asaddressed 

(UAA) mail containing such merchandise — 

either by forwarding it to an intended recipient who has 

moved and filed a change-of-address order or by returning 

it to the sender when the mail cannot be forwarded.

#JNS0069TWK2874# EXP JUN 04 

JESSICA H JONES 

69 TWO OAKS DR 

FLETCHER NC 28732-9499 

In addition to requiring a notification of address correction 

or other reason for nondelivery, along with the disposal 

of an undeliverable item, these shippers also require information 

about the date and time of attempted delivery, which 

Delivery Confirmation service or Signature Confirmation 

service can provide. 

Postal Service Handling 

The use of Delivery Confirmation service or Signature 

Confirmation service with the “Change Service Requested” 

endorsement does not affect how delivery units and Computerized 

Forwarding System (CFS) sites handle UAA parcels. 

Carriers and clerks will continue to scan these 

endorsed parcels with the same scan events as they now 

use for Delivery Confirmation or Signature Confirmation 

parcels that do not bear the “Change Service Requested” 

endorsement. 

Processing of address correction notifications and mailpiece 

disposal will be handled in the same manner as any


other undeliverable mailpiece bearing the “Change Service 

Requested” endorsement. 

In keeping with the current process, UAA Delivery Confirmation 

or Signature Confirmation pieces that contain an 

Address Change Service (ACS) participant code will be 

sent to the appropriate CFS site for processing. The CFS 

site will process the address correction notifications and 

then dispose of the pieces according to the approved treatment 

in DMM F010.5.0 for pieces endorsed “Change Service 

Requested.” The Delivery Confirmation or Signature 

Confirmation barcode will not affect the disposal of such 

pieces. 

Address Change Service 

Except for Periodicals mail, authorized ACS participants 

must use either “Address Service Requested” or “Change 

Service Requested” with an ACS participant code. For Periodicals 

mail, an ACS participant code may be used either 

with mail endorsed “Address Service Requested” or without 

any ancillary service endorsement. 

Employees are reminded that all undeliverable mail 

bearing both an ACS participant code in the address block 

and an ancillary service endorsement must be sent to the 

appropriate CFS site. Some employees mistakenly assume 

that the only UAA ACS mail that is to be sent to a CFS site 

is mail for which addressees have filed a change-ofaddress 

order. This assumption is not correct. 

In addition to those situations where an addressee 

moves and files a change-of-address order, there can be 

other reasons for UAA ACS mail as shown in DMM Exhibit 

F010.4.1. Some of those reasons include cases where the 

addressee has moved and has not filed a change-ofaddress 

order (“Moved, Left No Address”) or the mail 

shows an insufficient address or contains a house number 

or street name that does not exist. Mailers using ACS as a 

cost-effective means to maintain address lists expect to receive 

information electronically for all UAA mail from offices 

that utilize CFS sites. 

Scanning Reminder 

Employees are also reminded of the extreme importance 

in properly scanning every piece of mail that bears a 

Delivery Confirmation service or Signature Confirmation 

service barcode. Mailers and parcel shippers wanting to 

use “Change Service Requested” with Delivery Confirmation 

or Signature Confirmation have cited the critical need 

of obtaining a Delivery Confirmation or Signature Confirmation 

scan from a delivery unit to learn when the mail was not 

deliverable as addressed. 

Limitations on Endorsement Use 

Mailers and shippers of perishable items planning to 

use the “Change Service Requested” ancillary service 

13 

endorsement with Delivery Confirmation service or, where 

available, Signature Confirmation service, are reminded of 

the following: 

First-Class Mail Items. The endorsement is available 

for First-Class Mail items only with participation 

in ACS. For First-Class Mail items, Delivery Confirmation 

service or Signature Confirmation service is 

available only for parcels or parcel-shaped mail as 

defined in DMM C100.5.0. 

Priority Mail Items. The endorsement is available 

for Priority Mail items only with participation in ACS. 

For Priority Mail items, only perishable matter may 

bear the “Change Service Requested” endorsement. 

Standard Mail Items. The endorsement is available 

for Standard Mail items with or without participation in 

ACS. For Standard Mail items, Delivery Confirmation 

service is the only special service available with 

“Change Service Requested.” Any Standard Mail 

item using a special service must be subject to the residual 

shape surcharge. 

Package Services Items. The endorsement is available 

for Package Services items with or without participation 

in ACS. For Package Services mail, 

Delivery Confirmation service and Signature Confirmation 

service are limited to parcels and may not 

be used on flat-size mail.

5.3 Standard Mail 

[Revise text to read as follows:] 

Undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) Standard Mail is 

treated as described in Exhibit 5.3a and Exhibit 5.3b, with 

these additional conditions: 

a. Standard Mail is forwarded only to domestic 

addresses. 

b. The exceptional address format under A040 may not 

be used on mail with any ancillary service endorsement 

or mail with any special service. Forwarding 

service and address correction service are not provided 

for undeliverable Standard Mail with this address 

format. 

c. Standard Mail can be forwarded or returned at the 

appropriate Media Mail or Library Mail rate, if the content 

of the mail can qualify as Media Mail under E713 

or Library Mail under E714 and the mail is marked


“Media Mail” or “Library Mail” directly below the ancillary 

service endorsement. 

d. Mail that can qualify for Shipper Paid Forwarding under 

the applicable standards in F020 is forwarded or 

returned at the First-Class Mail single-piece rate or 

Priority Mail single-piece rate applicable for the 

weight of the piece. 

e. If a Standard Mail piece and any attachment to that 

piece are not opened by the addressee and the sender 

has guaranteed forwarding and return postage, 

the addressee may refuse delivery of the piece and 

have it returned to the sender without affixing postage. 

If a Standard Mail piece or any attachment to 

that piece is opened by the addressee, the addressee 

must affix the required postage to return the piece 

to the sender. 

f. Standard Mail with insurance or return receipt for 

merchandise must be endorsed “Address Service 

Requested,” “Forwarding Service Requested,” or 

“Return Service Requested.” Standard Mail with 

Delivery Confirmation must be endorsed “Address 

Service Requested,” “Forwarding Service Requested,” 

“Return Service Requested,” or “Change 

Service Requested.” 

g. When a large volume of identical-weight pieces originates 

from a single mailer and is endorsed “Return 

Service Requested,” the USPS may weigh a sample 

of at least 25 pieces and divide that weight by the 

number of pieces to determine the weight of a single 

piece. After the per piece weight is determined, all 

the pieces are weighed in bulk and divided by the per 

piece weight to determine the total number of pieces. 

The return postage is calculated using these numbers. 

Pieces of identical weight counted in this manner 

are returned to the sender with the new address 

or the reason for nondelivery endorsed on the piece. 

h. A weighted fee is charged when an unforwardable or 

undeliverable piece is returned to the sender and the 

piece is endorsed “Address Service Requested” or 

“Forwarding Service Requested.” The weighted fee 

is the First-Class Mail single-piece rate or Priority 

Mail single-piece rate applicable for the weight of the 

piece and, if applicable, the nonmachinable surcharge 

(see E130), multiplied by 2.472 and rounded 

up to the next whole cent (if the computation yields a 

fraction of a cent). The weighted fee is computed 

(and rounded if necessary) for each piece individually. 

Using “Address Service Requested” or “Forwarding 

Service Requested” obligates the sender to pay 

the weighted fee on all returned pieces. 

i. Returned pieces endorsed “Return Service Requested” 

are charged the First-Class Mail singlepiece 

rate or Priority Mail single-piece rate applicable 

for the weight of the piece and, if applicable, the nonmachinable 

surcharge (see E130). 

j. Mail sent as Bulk Parcel Return Service (BPRS) under 

S924 is returned at the BPRS per piece fee if one 

of the endorsements includes “ — BPRS” as shown

Undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) Package Services mail 

is treated as described in Exhibit 5.4, with these additional 

conditions: 

a. Package Services mail is forwarded only to domestic 

addresses. 

b. The exceptional address format under A040 may not 

be used on mail with any ancillary service endorsement 

or mail with any special service. Forwarding 

service is not provided for such mail. Undeliverable 

Parcel Post, Media Mail, and Library Mail with this 

address format are returned with the reason for nondelivery 

attached only if the address is incorrect or incomplete 

or the mail is undeliverable for another 

reason as shown in Exhibit 4.1. Undeliverable Bound 

Printed Matter with this address format is disposed of 

by the USPS. 

c. If a Package Services piece and any attachment to 

that piece are not opened by the addressee and the 

sender has guaranteed forwarding and return postage, 

the addressee may refuse delivery of the piece 

and have it returned to the sender without affixing 

postage and still have other Package Services 

pieces forwarded to the addressee. If a Package Services 

piece or any attachment to that piece is opened 

by the addressee, the addressee must affix the required 

postage to return the piece to the sender. If the 

addressee does not want to pay forwarding postage 

17 

for all Package Services mail, the postmaster of the 

new address must use PS Form 3546, Forwarding 

Order Change Notice, to notify the postmaster of the 

old address to discontinue the forwarding of Package 

Services mail. 

d. Package Services mail bearing a postage meter indicia 

from a customer meter that is unaddressed and 

without a return address (undeliverable) is returned 

to the post office of mailing. The reason for nondelivery 

is attached without charging the address correction 

fee. The piece is returned to the meter licensee 

on payment of the return postage. 

e. Bound Printed Matter with no ancillary service endorsement 

and: 

(1) With Delivery Confirmation, with Signature Confirmation, 

or with no other special service, is disposed 

of by USPS. 

(2) With a special service other than Delivery

DMM REVISION 

Cards Claimed at the First-Class Mail Card Rates 


(DMM) C100 and E110 are revised to clarify and expand 

the standards that apply to the use of the First-Class Mail 

card rates. The additional format standards in C100 for displaying 

a message area on the address side of a card are 

clarified to specify that they apply only to pieces claimed at 

the Presorted and automation First-Class Mail card rates. 

Additionally, C100 is expanded to provide format requirements 

for cards that are divided horizontally on the address 

side. To be eligible for the card rate, all cards claimed at a 

card rate must continue to meet the physical size standards 

in C100. 

The address side of a card rate mailpiece is the side 

bearing the delivery address and postage. At the mailer’s 

option, the address side may also contain a message area. 

Cards that do not contain a message area on the address 

side are subject to the applicable format standards for the 

card rate claimed. Miscellaneous graphics or printing, such 

as symbols, logos, or characters, that appear on the 

address side of cards not containing a message area are 

generally acceptable provided the items are not intended to 

convey a message. 

Cards claimed at the Presorted or automation card rates 

that have a message area on the address side must be 

divided either vertically or horizontally to separate the message 

area from the address area. Such cards must also 

meet the standards for the rate claimed and, as applicable, 

the additional format requirements in C100.2.6. 

Cards that are divided horizontally on the address side 

must be separated into an upper portion and a lower portion. 

When divided horizontally, the address area may appear 

in either the upper or the lower portion of the card. The 

portion containing the address area must be at least 1-1/2

inches in height. (Note: Refer to Quick Service Guide 102 

in the DMM to view an example of a card that is horizontally 

divided on the address side.) 

Cards claimed at the single-piece card rate that contain 

a message area on the address side are not subject to the 

additional format requirements in C100.2.6. However, the 

additional mail preparation requirements in C100.2.8 do apply 

to cards claimed at the single-piece rate if the pieces 

contain a message area on the address side, are part of a 

mailing of 200 or more identical pieces, and contain nondelivery 

address information above the address block. 

We will include these revisions into the next printed 

version of DMM Issue 58 and into the monthly update 

of the online DMM available via Postal Explorer at 

http://pe.usps.gov.

2.3 Stock 


A card must be of uniform thickness and made of unfolded 

and uncreased paper or cardstock of approximately the 

quality and weight of a stamped card (i.e., a card available


from the Postal Service). A card must be formed either of 

one piece of paper or cardstock or of two pieces of paper 

permanently and uniformly bonded together. The stock 

used for a card may be of any color or surface that permits 

the legible printing of the address, postmark, and any required 

markings. 

2.4 Acceptable Attachment 


A card may bear an attachment that is: 

a. A paper label, such as a wafer seal or decal affixed 

with permanent adhesive to the back side of the card, 

or within the message area on the address side (see 

2.6), or to the left of the address block. 

b. A label affixed with permanent adhesive for showing 

the delivery or return address. 

c. A small reusable seal or decal prepared with pressure-sensitive 

and nonremovable adhesive, that is 

intended to be removed from the first half of a double 

card and applied to the reply half. 

* * * * * 

[Revise the heading and text of 2.6 to read as follows:] 

2.6 Address Side 

The address side of a card is the side bearing the delivery 

address and postage. The address side may be formatted 

to contain a message area. Cards that do not contain a 

message area on the address side are subject to the applicable 

standards for the rate claimed. For the purposes of 

2.0, miscellaneous graphics or printing, such as symbols, 

logos, or characters, that appear on the address side of 

cards not containing a message area are generally acceptable 

provided the items are not intended to convey a 

message. Cards claimed at the Presorted or automation 

card rates that contain a message area on the address side 

must be divided vertically or horizontally and meet the following 

additional standards, as applicable: 

a. Vertically divided cards. 

(1) The address side of the card must be divided 

into a right portion and a left portion, with or without 

a vertical rule. The left portion is the message 

area. 

(2) The delivery address, postage, and any Postal 

Service marking or endorsement must appear in 

the right portion. The right portion must be at 

least 2-1/8 inches wide (measured from the right 

edge of the card, top to bottom inclusive). 

(3) For cards claimed at the Presorted rate, nondelivery 

address information may extend into the 

right portion only above the address block and if 

the information is shaded or surrounded by a 

border that has at least 1/8 inch clearance between 

the delivery address block and the border. 

Mailers may choose not to shade or border the 

nondelivery address information if there is at 

least 1/8 inch of clear space around the delivery 

address block. 

(4) For cards claimed at the automation rate, the 

standards for automation-compatible mail in 

C810 and C840 must be met. 

b. Horizontally divided cards. 

(1) The address side of the card must be divided 

into an upper portion and a lower portion, with or 

without a horizontal rule. The portion of the address 

side that does not contain the delivery address 

is the message area. 

(2) The delivery address, postage, and any Postal 

Service marking or endorsement must appear 

completely within the portion containing the delivery 

address. The portion bearing the delivery 

address must be at least 1-1/2 inches high (measured 

from the top or bottom edge of the card, as 

applicable, right edge to left edge inclusive). 

(3) For cards claimed at the Presorted rate, nondelivery 

address information may extend into the 

portion containing the delivery address only if it 

appears above the address block and if the information 

is shaded or surrounded by a border that 

has at least 1/8-inch clearance between the delivery 

address block and the border. Mailers may 

choose not to shade or border the nondelivery 

address information if there is at least 1/8 inch of 

clear space around the delivery address block. 

(4) For cards claimed at the automation rate, the 

standards for automation-compatible mail in 

C810 and C840 must be met. 


2.7 Special Rules for Single-Piece Rate Cards 

Cards claimed at the single-piece card rate that have the 

format characteristics in 2.6a(3) or 2.6b(3) and are part of a 

mailing of 200 or more identical pieces must: 

a. Have addresses that include the correct ZIP Code or 

ZIP+4 code. 

b. Have postage paid with permit imprints, meter 

stamps, or precanceled stamps. 

c. Be prepared under E130.



2.8 Tearing Guides 

A card may have perforations or tearing guides if they do 

not eliminate or interfere with any address element, postage, 

marking, or endorsement and do not impair the physical 

integrity of the card. 

[Revise the heading of 2.9 and revise the text to incorporate 

the content from 2.10 and 2.11 to read as follows:] 

2.9 Double Cards 

A double card (i.e., a double stamped card or double postcard) 

consists of two attached cards, one of which is 

designed to be detached by the recipient and returned by 

mail as a single card. Double cards are subject to these 

standards: 

a. The reply half of a double card must be used for reply 

only and may not be used to convey a message to 

the original addressee or to send statements of account. 

The reply half may be formatted for response 

purposes (e.g., contain blocks for completion by the 

addressee). 

b. A double card must be folded before mailing and prepared 

so that the address on the reply half is on the 

inside when the double card is originally mailed. The 

address side of the reply half may be prepared as 

business reply mail, courtesy reply mail, meter reply 

mail, or as a merchandise return service label. 

c. Plain stickers, seals, or a single wire stitch (staple) 

may be used to fasten the open edges of a double 

card if affixed so that the inner surfaces of the cards 

can be readily examined. Fasteners must be affixed 

according to the applicable preparation requirements 

for the rate claimed. 

d. The first half of a double card must be detached 

when the reply half is mailed for return.

3.0 CARD RATE 


A card may be a single or double (reply) stamped card or a 

single or double postcard. Stamped cards are available 

from the Postal Service with postage imprinted on them. 

Postcards are commercially available or privately printed 

mailing cards. To be eligible for a card rate, a card and each 

half of a double card, must meet the physical standards in 

C100 and the applicable eligibility and preparation standards 

for the rate claimed. Ineligible cards are subject to 

the applicable letter-size rates. Cards may be prepared and 

mailed at the First-Class Mail single-piece card rate, Presorted 

card rate, or automation card rates, subject to the 

applicable standards.

— Mail Preparation and Standards,

For editorial consistency and clarity, DMM M610.3.1, 

M610.4.3, M610.5.2, M820.2.1, M820.4.1, M820.4.2, and 

M820.5.1 are revised to correct the order of presentation 

for the preparation sequence, the package or container 

minimums, and the package or container labeling. Each revised 

section also combines into one section Line 1 and 

Line 2 labeling information to facilitate reference. 

Mixed ADC packages, sacks, and trays contain mailpieces 

that remain after all required 5-digit, 3-digit, and 

ADC packages, sacks, or trays have been prepared. Under 

the optional preparation introduced with this revision, such 

packages, sacks, and trays are placed on ASF and BMC


pallets and labeled to the ADC shown in labeling list DMM 

L802 that serves the location of the destination ASF or 

BMC. This option also requires that the packages, sacks, 

and trays contain only pieces addressed to destinations 

within the applicable ASF or BMC service area as specified 

in DMM Exhibit E650.5.1. All other current preparation 

standards still apply to such mail. 

Delivery performance for mail in mixed ADC packages, 

sacks, or trays is generally not as favorable as that for such 

mail when transported closer to final destination. This option 

should improve the delivery consistency for mixed ADC 

Standard Mail pieces placed on ASF and BMC pallets and 

should reduce postage if destination entry discounts are 

taken.

Thrift Savings Plan Policy Changes, TSP Open Season, and PostalEASE 

The next Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) open season is 

October 15, 2002, through December 31, 2002. This TSP 

open season ends December 31, 2002, at 5:00 P.M. Central 

Time (CT). The following information is provided to assist 

personnel offices in conducting this open season. 

The booklet TSPBK08, Summary of the Thrift Savings 

Plan for Federal Employees, provides a good overview of 

TSP. Newly eligible career employees receive a copy of 

TSPBK08 from the national level through a direct mailing. 

Offices can order additional copies of TSPBK08 from the 

Material Distribution Center (MDC) as follows: 

Touch Tone Order Entry (TTOE): Call 

800-332-0317, option 1, then option 2. 

Note: You must be registered to use TTOE. To register, 

call 800-332-0317, choose option 8, extension

TSP Policy Changes 

Based on changes in underlying law, substantial TSP 

policy changes have become effective (see Postal Bulletin 

22050, 5-17-01, pages 59–63, “Thrift Savings Plan Policy 

Changes, TSP Open Season, and PostalEASE.”). That article 

explains some of the changes. Additional explanation 

is provided in booklet TSPBK08 and in TSP bulletins available 

on the TSP Web site at www.tsp.gov. 

TSP Open Season Dates 

The dates of TSP open seasons are October 15 through 

December 31 and April 15 through June 30 (see TSP bulletin 

02-12, dated May 2, 2002). The corresponding election 

periods are December and June. The “election period” is 

the earliest period during which a contribution election to 

start or to change the amount of contributions made during 

a TSP open season can become effective (see TSP bulletin 

01-4, dated February 2, 2001). 

You may change your fund investment choice (contribution 

allocations) both during and outside of the TSP open 

season. To make a fund investment choice, you must contact 

TSP directly, not PostalEASE. If you do not contact 

TSP, your existing fund investment choice continues. The 

earnings statement (paycheck stub) continues to show the 

TSP contribution percentage or dollar amount, but the 

statement no longer shows the TSP fund investment detail. 

Because the TSP has moved the open season election 

period to December, the increases in the TSP employee 

contribution limits become effective each December (see 

TSP bulletin 01-3, dated January 23, 2001). Consequently, 

during the October 15 through December 31, 2002, open 

season, employees covered by the Federal Employees 

Retirement System (FERS) may contribute up to 13 percent 

of basic pay in 2003 (the maximum was 12 percent for 

2002). Eligible FERS employees still receive the Agency 

Automatic (1 percent) Contribution and the Agency 

Matching Contribution of up to 4 percent from the Postal 

Service — these amounts have not changed. Employees 

covered by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) 

and CSRS Offset employees may contribute up to 8 percent 

of basic pay in 2003 (the maximum was 7 percent for 

2002). 

The limits for FERS, CSRS, and CSRS Offset employees 

will continue to increase by 1 percentage point per 

year through 2005. Then, in 2006, all participants will be eligible 

to contribute up to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 

code’s annual deferral limit without any percentage limit. 

The IRS annual deferral limit for 2003 is $12,000. This 

amount is scheduled to increase by $1,000 each year 

through 2006 to $15,000. A newly hired career employee 

may elect to participate in TSP until the 61st day after the 

date of hire and in every subsequent open season. The 

waiting period of one to two open seasons continues to apply 

to the Agency Automatic (1 percent) Contribution and 

the Agency Matching Contribution for FERS employees. 

Using PostalEASE for Enrollment 

Employees who wish to make contribution elections 

must make them during the TSP open season. Employees 

must use the PostalEASE telephone system or the 

PostalEASE employee Web site to make contribution elections 

and cancellations. PostalEase’s toll-free number is 

877-4PS-EASE (877-477-3273). For web access through 

the Postal Service intranet, go to http://blue.usps.gov, click 

on Employee Self-Service, and then click on PostalEASE. 

You must have your USPS personal identification number


(PIN) to use PostalEASE (for information on PINs, see 

USPS PIN and TSP PIN below). 

Note: Personnel and employing offices must not distribute 

Form TSP-1, Thrift Savings Plan Election Form, to employees 

for making TSP open season elections. TSP-1 is 

no longer stocked at the MDC. 

Contacting TSP to Make a Fund Investment 

Election 

Employees have three methods to make a fund investment 

election as follows: 

Web site: Go to the TSP Web site at www.tsp.gov. 

Phone: Call the TSP ThriftLine at 504-255-8777. 

Mail: Mail form TSP-50, Investment Allocation, to 

the TSP service office in New Orleans. 

Note: Personnel offices must not accept and cannot 

process completed forms TSP-50. Form TSP-50 is not 

available from the TSP Web site. Form TSP-50 is available 

from the MDC. The relevant ordering information for form 

TSP-50 is as follows: 

PSN: 7530-05-000-4305 

Unit of Issue: EA 




The TSP Web site and ThriftLine are convenient methods 

for making fund investment elections and elections will 

take effect more quickly than using form TSP-50. To use 

the TSP Web site or TSP ThriftLine, use your TSP PIN. 

Using Pins to Make TSP Elections 

To make TSP elections, use two PINs: USPS PIN and 

TSP PIN. 

USPS PIN 

The Postal Service maintains the USPS PIN. Use your 

USPS PIN to (1) begin a contribution percentage or a dollar 

amount election, or (2) change your current TSP contribution 

percentage or dollar amount, or (3) cancel TSP participation 

via PostalEASE. If you do not know your USPS PIN, 

you must call PostalEASE and do the following steps when 

prompted: (1) press 1 for PostalEASE; (2) enter your 

Social Security number; (3) enter your PIN, pause, and 

then press 2. Your USPS PIN will be mailed to your address 

of record, usually by the next business day. 

Note: When you request your USPS PIN, your 

USPS PIN does not change (unlike the TSP PIN). Your 

old USPS PIN remains valid. (The USPS PIN is the 

same PIN employees use for telephone bidding and computerized 

bidding.) 

TSP PIN 

37 

The TSP PIN is maintained by TSP. You must use your 

TSP PIN to make fund investment choices via the TSP 

Web site or the TSP ThriftLine. If you are a TSP participant 

and you do not know your TSP PIN, you have three methods 

for having a new TSP PIN mailed to your address of 

record: 

1. Go to the TSP Web site at www.tsp.gov and select 

Account Access, or 

2. Call the TSP ThriftLine at 504-255-8777, choose 2, 

enter your Social Security number, and then follow 

the instructions, or 

3. Call the TSP service office at 504-255-6000. 

Once TSP has received your TSP PIN request, your former 

TSP PIN is no longer valid. 

Direct Mailings to Employees 

Career employees receive from the national level a direct 

mailing of leaflet TSP1002, TSP Open Season, and 

PostalEASE instructions at their mailing addresses of record 

during October. 

In addition to receiving TSP1002, newly eligible career 

employees receive from the national level a direct mailing 

of TSPBK08, Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan for Federal 

Employees, as well as a cover letter and PostalEASE 

instructions at their mailing addresses of record soon after 

their accession PS Form 50, Notification of Personnel 

Action, is processed. 

The return address for undeliverable TSP enrollment instructions 

for newly eligible employees is the employing office 

of record. The disposition of returned items is at the 

discretion of the district office or other administering office. 

Forwarding a returned enrollment package to an employee 

offers that employee an opportunity to submit a correct PS 

Form 1216, Employee’s Current Mailing Address, available 

at the MDC. Ordering information for PS Form 1216 is as 

follows: 

PSN: 7530-02-000-7354 

Quick Pick Number: 118 

Unit of Issue: SE 

Bulk Pack Qty: 4,000 

Price: 0.0171 


Eligibility 

All career employees are eligible to make employee 

contribution elections this open season (subject to financial 

hardship withdrawal and cancellation exclusions). FERS 

employees hired before July 1, 2002, receive Agency Automatic 

(1 percent) Contributions and Agency Matching Contributions 

(as appropriate) beginning in December 2002.


All employees who participated in TSP and cancelled 

their TSP contributions after July 31, 2002, are not eligible 

to participate in this TSP open season. They must wait for 

the TSP open season beginning April 15, 2003. 

Effective Dates 

The windows of opportunity for employees to make TSP 

open season elections via PostalEASE, which automates 

the processing of TSP elections and the resulting effective 

dates, are as follows: 

If you enter TSP open season 

election via PostalEASE from … 

10-15-2002 00:01 A.M. through 

12-24-2002 12:00 noon Central 

Time (CT) 

12-24-2002 12:01 P.M. through 

12-31-2002 5:00 P.M. CT 

Then effective date 

will be… 

12-14-2002 

(pay period [PP] 01-2003) 

12-28-2002 

(PP 02-2003) 

Because PostalEASE provides employees the ability to 

complete a TSP open season election without contacting 

the local personnel office and automates the processing of 

such elections, use of PostalEASE should minimize the use 

of PS Form 6886, Thrift Savings Plan — Request for Retroactive 

Contributions. PS Form 6886 is used to correct administrative 

errors for TSP open season elections. 

Personnel offices have the authority to determine 

whether an administrative error has occurred. If an error 

has delayed a TSP open season election past the appropriate 

effective date, personnel offices and the employee must 

complete PS Form 6886 and submit it to the Eagan 

Accounting Service Center (ASC). The effective dates for 

the employees’ elections delayed due to an administrative 

error must be made retroactive to December 14 or December 

28, 2002, depending on the date the employee would 

have otherwise entered his or her open season election via 

PostalEASE. 

Note: PS Form 6886, published in Postal Bulletin 

21665 (3-31-88), must be reproduced locally as needed. 

Personnel offices also have the authority to determine 

whether a belated open season election opportunity exists. 

In such instances, personnel must submit the employee’s 

election to the Eagan ASC for processing, in accordance 

with administrative instructions provided to personnel offices 

regarding PostalEASE. Belated open season elections 

are not retroactive in most circumstances. 

Note: Processing deadlines and the closing date of this 

TSP open season require using only two pay periods as indicated 

above. 

Open Season Materials 

In addition to the direct mailing of TSP information to 

employees, the MDC will automatically distribute residual 

supplies of the open season leaflet TSP1002, TSP Open 

Season, to Human Resources at district offices, area 

offices, processing and distribution centers/facilities (PDC/ 

Fs), bulk mail centers (BMCs), airport mail centers/facilities 

(AMC/Fs), remote encoding centers, Office of Inspector 

General, Postal Inspection Service divisions, Headquarters, 

and selected Headquarters field units. 

Non-Open Season Materials 

Most of the current TSP publications and forms will be 

revised for the new TSP record keeping system. Until notified, 

all offices must continue to use the current forms. We 

will publish an article in the Postal Bulletin giving information 

about new or revised forms when the new record keeping 

system is implemented. 

Upon receipt of the newly printed forms, the MDC will 

complete its automatic distribution of all non-open season 

items to Human Resources at district offices, area offices, 

PDC/Fs, BMCs, AMC/Fs, remote encoding centers, Office 

of Inspector General, Postal Inspection Service divisions, 

Headquarters, and selected Headquarters field units. 

Ordering TSP Items 

Offices may place orders for new or revised TSP items 

with the MDC on an as-needed basis. It is not necessary to 

maintain a large stock of forms and/or publications because 

these materials are mailed to each newly hired career employee 

from the national level. In all cases where the MDC 

will stock the new or revised TSP item, the MDC will make 

an initial distribution to Human Resources at installations 

as noted earlier. Offices may check the TSP Web site for 

new or revised items. Note: the TSP-50 will not be available 

from the TSP Web site. 

Participant Statements 

Employees with a TSP account will receive a participant 

statement from the TSP service office in October 2002. 

Publicity 

Human Resources at district offices, area offices, PDC/ 

Fs, BMCs, AMC/Fs, remote encoding centers, Office of Inspector 

General, Postal Inspection Service divisions, 

Headquarters, and selected Headquarters field units receive 

a supply of posters this open season from the MDC. 

Installations that receive the posters must widely distribute 

them and post them on bulletin boards. 

To assist in publicizing the TSP open season, all offices 

must post (1) the open season notice provided on page 39 

of this Postal Bulletin through December 31, 2002, and (2) 

the current TSP fact sheet on bulletin boards.

Postage Meter Refunds 

Effective with the implementation of Shared Services 

Accounting (SS/A), the following procedural change will occur 

related to refunding postage balances from customer 

postage meters withdrawn from service. AIC 558, Refund 

Customer Meter Withdrawn, will no longer be used for refunds 

of customer postage meter withdrawn from service. 

Refunds for Computerized Meter Resetting System 

(CMRS) meters will be processed through the Meter Movement 

Report (MMR), and refunds will be processed by the 

accounting service center. 

Refunds for manually set customer postage meters will 

be handled as follows: 

Postage meter vendors will present the customer 

meter with a completed PS Form 3601-C, Postage 

Meter Activity Report, to the Post Office for verification 

and close out. 

After verification and close out of the postage meter, 

the Postal Service employee will sign PS Form 

3601-C and submit it to the SS/A for payment.

of cash required. The amount of cash issued must be reported 

as follows: 

For SFAP Offices 

Post Office management uses the authorized unit 

cash reserve or authorizes an employee with stamp 

or cash credit to issue amount of cash required. Record 

the amount issued in AIC 761, Miscellaneous 

Suspense Issued, in the unit’s PS Form 1412.


The recipient (station, branch, or employee) must enter 

the amount received into AIC 361, Miscellaneous 

Suspense Cleared, in the unit’s PS Form 1412 to offset 

the original amount recorded in AIC 761. 

For SAFR Offices 

Post Office management uses the authorized unit 

cash reserve or authorizes an employee with stamp 

or cash credit to issue amount of cash required. Record 

the amount issued in AIC 647, Financial Differences 

— Shortage, in the unit’s PS Form 1412. 

The recipient (station, branch, or employee) must 

enter the amount received into AIC 247, Financial 

Differences — Overage, in the unit’s PS Form 1412 

to offset the original amount recorded in AIC 647. 

Note: District finance offices must make every effort to 

resolve or have their reporting units resolve and clear any 

amounts currently listed in AIC 766 in the Standard Field 

Accounting System prior to AP-3, FY 2003. 




Employees Accountability Overages and Shortages 

With the implementation of Shared Services/Accounting 

(SS/A), Post Offices continue to report employee accountability 

overages or shortages in the corresponding AIC 

accounts. 

Overage in Stamp Stock Accountability 

For an employee stamp stock accountability overage 

that exceeds the established tolerance, the full amount 

of overage continues to be recorded into AIC 057, 

Employee Stamp Credit Overage, on the employee’s PS 

Form 1412, Daily Financial Report. The local unit management 

must maintain supporting documentation (PS 

Form 3294-P, Cash and Stamp Stock Count and Summary; 

PS Form 3368-P, Accountability Examination Record; etc.). 

A master control, either a system-generated report or a 

summary ledger PS Form 25, Trust Fund Account, is maintained 

for each category of employee overages by the postmaster, 

manager, supervisor, or designated employee at 

each office. 

If within 1 year a relationship is established to a subsequent 

shortage, use AIC 457, Employee Stamp Credit 

Overage Withdrawal, to offset part or all of the shortage. 

Managers should exercise judgment when determining the 

existence of a relationship that may warrant offsetting 

shortages and maintain appropriate documentation locally. 

At the expiration of 1 year, any unresolved stamp stock ac-

Shortage in Stamp Stock Accountability 

For an employee accountability shortage that exceeds 

the established tolerance, the full amount of shortage continues 

to be recorded into AIC 767, Employee Stamp Credit 

Shortage, on the employee’s PS Form 1412. The local unit 

management must maintain supporting documentation (PS 

Form 3294-P, PS Form 3368, etc.) for stamp stock accountability 

shortages. A master control, either a systemgenerated 

report or a summary ledger PS Form 25, is 

maintained for each category of unresolved employee 

shortages by the postmaster, manager, supervisor, or designated 

employee at each office. 

It is the responsibility of the unit supervisor, manager, or 

installation head designee to monitor and pursue collection 

of the debt while adhering to the National Agreement and 

the Debt Collection Act. Shortage amounts resolved are 

cleared using AIC 367, Employee Stamp Credit Shortage 

Cleared. 

On PS Form 1412, amounts reported in AIC 057 and 

AIC 767 offset to a revenue account and thereby adjust AIC 

853, Stamp Accountability Closing Balance, to the actual 

amount counted.


Overage in Cash Credit Accountability 

For an employee cash credit overage that exceeds the 

established tolerance, the full amount of overage continues 

to be recorded into AIC 068, Employee Cash Credit Overage, 

on the employee’s PS Form 1412. The local unit management 

must maintain supporting documentation (PS 

Form 3294-C, PS Form 3368, etc.). A master control, either 

a system-generated report or a summary ledger PS Form 

25, is maintained for each category of employee overages 

by the postmaster, manager, supervisor, or designated employee 

at each office. 

If within 90 days a relationship is established to a subsequent 

shortage, use AIC 468, Employee Cash Credit 

Overage Withdrawal, to offset part or all of the shortage. 

Managers should exercise judgment when determining the 

existence of a relationship that may warrant offsetting 

shortages and maintain appropriate documentation locally. 

After 90 days, any unresolved cash credit accountability 

overage amounts are moved into AIC 123, Lobby Services 

Revenue. 

Shortage in Cash Credit Accountability 

For an employee cash credit shortage that exceeds the 

established tolerance, the full amount of shortage continues 

to be recorded into AIC 764, Employee Cash Credit 

Shortage, on the employee’s PS Form 1412. The local unit 

management must maintain supporting documentation, 

(PS Form 3294-C, PS Form 3368, etc.) for cash credit 

shortages. A master control, either a system-generated report 

or summary ledger PS Form 25, is maintained for each

54 Employee Items and Financial Differences at 

SAFR Offices 

Employee items are defined as any unresolved employee 

advance salary issued, advance travel issued, and employee 

accountability overages or shortages. Each office 

maintains a master control, either a system-generated report 

or a summary ledger PS Form 25, Trust Fund Account, 

by category of employee items with the total amounts. 

Verify the office master control balance against the “ending 

balance report” that Shared Services/Accounting (SS/A) 

provides to you every reporting period. Financial differences 

are defined as discrepancies in money orders, cash 

deposits, banking discrepancies; discrepancies in an individual 

or a unit’s PS Form 1412; and stamp stock inventory 

and retail floor stock differences. SS/A charges overage or 

shortage differences as a credit or debit to the office expense 

account. 

541 Reporting Employee Items 

1> Use the following AIC accounts to report unresolved 

employee items by categories: 

Use AIC 754, Salary Advance Issued, for issuing 

advance to employees if they did not receive a 

payroll check by scheduled pay date or if they received 

an erroneous salary check that must be returned 

for a replacement check. 

Use AIC 755, Emergency Travel Advance Issued, 

for issuing an advance “emergency” one-time 

nonrecurring payment locally to a bargaining unit 

employee, and do not exceed $500. 

Use AIC 764, Employee Cash Credit Shortage, for 

reporting cash credit shortage amount that results 

from a cash credit count; if the amount exceeds 

the tolerance, report the full amount of shortage. 

Use AIC 767, Employee Stamp Credit Shortage, 

for reporting stamp credit shortage amount that 

results from a stamp credit count; if the amount 

exceeds the tolerance, report the full amount of 

shortage.


Use AIC 057, Employee Stamp Credit Overage, 

for reporting stamp credit overage amount that 

results from a stamp credit count; if the amount 

exceeds the tolerance, report the full amount of 

overage. 

Use AIC 068, Employee Cash Credit Overage, to 

report cash credit overage amount that results 

from a cash credit count; if the amount exceeds 

the tolerance, report the full amount of overage. 

2> Use the following AIC accounts to report employee 

items resolved by categories: 

Use AIC 354, Salary Advance Cleared, for repaying 

a salary advance issued. 

Use AIC 355, Travel Advance Cleared, for repaying 

a travel advance issued. 

Use AIC 364, Employee Cash Credit Shortage 

Cleared, for settling a cash credit shortage issued. 

Use AIC 367, Employee Stamp Credit Shortage 

Cleared, for settling a stamp credit shortage issued.

In-Transit Stock Shipments 

Stock shipped from a stamp distribution office (SDO) or 

stamp services center (SSC) to the retail units are entered 

into the STAMPS system, which creates an item in the In- 

Transit Shipped Report System. Stock returned from retail 

units to the SDO or SSC will also create an item in the In- 

Transit Shipped Report System. When the retail unit or the 

SDO or SSC receives the shipment, the item is cleared off 

the report. 

Effective with the implementation of Shared Services/ 

Accounting (SS/A), the following policy and procedural 

change will occur related to stock shipped from the SDO or 

SSC to Post Offices or stock shipped from Post Offices to 

the SDO or SSC not cleared from the In-Transit Shipped 

Report System by the receiving office. SS/A will notify the 

receiving office of any pending items not cleared from the 

In-Transit Shipped Report System. For amounts pending 

after 30 days, SS/A will debit the expense account of the 

receiving office finance number.

the expiration of 1 year, any unresolved stamp 

stock accountability overage amounts are moved

Use AIC 468, Employee Cash Credit Overage 

Withdrawal, to offset part or all of a previously 

related shortage (managers should exercise judgment 

when determining the existence of a relationship 

that may warrant offsetting shortages and 

maintain appropriate documentation locally). At 

the expiration of 90 days, any unresolved cash 

credit accountability overage amounts are moved 

into AIC 123, Lobby Services Revenue. 

3> Each office maintains a ledger sheet and master control, 

either a system-generated report or a summary 

ledger PS Form 25, Trust Fund Account, by category 

of employee items with the total amounts. 

4> Verify the totals by categories with a system-generated 

ending balance report that Shared Services/ 

Accounting (SS/A) will provide to you every reporting 

period.

Stamp stock discrepancy amounts shipped from the 

SDO or SSC or returned from the retail units will be

the overage/shortage tolerance guidelines. 

For items not cleared from the In-Transit Shipped Report 

System, SS/A will do the following. 

From SDO or SSC to the Post Offices 

Within 7 days, SS/A sends an e-mail notification to 

the office. 

After 14 days, SS/A sends a second e-mail notification 

to the office and the district finance manager. 

After 30 days, any amount still pending in the In-Transit 

Shipped Report System, SS/A debits the expense 

account of the receiving office finance number. 

SS/A charges discrepancy amounts to the finance 

number of the receiving office, following the overage 

and shortage tolerance guidelines.

Local Tax Code Information 

The Postal Service collects appropriate federal, state, 

and local taxes from the pay of our employees who are subject 

to these deductions. Based on agreements between 

local taxation authorities and the U.S. Department of the 

Treasury, the Postal Service collects occupational license 

taxes, city and/or county income taxes, revenue taxes, 

senior citizen taxes, mental health taxes, or, in some locations, 

two of these taxes. 

Shown below is an updated local tax code listing that 

adds or adjusts a number of additional tax collection locations, 

and indicates the type(s) of taxes collected directly 

from our employees. 

Some of the taxes shown below are automatically deducted 

from the salaries of Postal Service employees who 

live or work within the geographic boundaries of specific 

taxing authorities. However, most of these taxes have not 

been established as automatic deductions. If you are subject 

to these local taxes, you must be proactive and complete 

and submit the proper taxation paperwork. You are 

ultimately responsible for ensuring that the correct local 

taxes are deducted from your pay. 

If you live or work in a locality that is subject to one of the 

taxes listed below, and the correct deduction is not being 

assessed from your pay, you should immediately complete 

a PS Form 4, Employee’s City or County Withholding Certificate. 

After completing this form, forward it to the appropriate 

Personnel office for entry into your master file.

one of four Postal Service ground parcel receiving facilities 

in New Jersey, Buffalo, Detroit, and Seattle. Mailpieces will 

arrive in appropriate containers accompanied by a completed

will induct Expedited Parcel — USA mailpieces into the 

ground parcel mail processing stream for a 7-to-10-day service 

standard, like domestic Parcel Post service. We do 

not expect any special envelopes or packaging materials at 

this time. 

Expedited Parcel — USA will include Delivery Confirmation

2002 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook 

The 2002 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook, Item 

992200, will be available soon for sale at all Post Offices, 

philatelic centers, and by mail, telephone, and internet order 

from Stamp Fulfillment Services. 

To obtain an initial supply of the 2002 Commemorative 

Stamp Yearbook, Post Offices must immediately order Item 

992200 from their designated stamp distribution office 

(SDO) using a separate PS Form 17, Stamp Requisition/ 

Stamp Return. SDOs must not distribute the 2002 yearbook 

to Post Offices before October 28, 2002. All locations 

may place the 2002 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook on 

sale October 31, 2002, or as soon thereafter as initial quantities 

are received. 

This item is a 64-page hardbound book that includes 70 

commemorative stamps, with mounts, and sells for $49.95. 

The beautifully illustrated book contains colorful pictures 

and text featuring stamp subjects such as Langston 

Hughes, Greetings from America, Mentoring a Child, American 

Bats, Andy Warhol, Neuter or Spay, and 17 other subjects 

celebrated on 2002 commemorative stamps. The 70 

commemorative stamps have a combined postage value of 

$25.30. 

Note: Due to the June rate change and customers requesting 

Love stamps for various special occasions, the 

decision to issue the new Love stamps was made after the 

2002 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook went on press. For 

this reason the new Love stamps are not included in the 

2002 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook or stamp packet; 

however, they will be included in next year’s 2003 Commemorative 

Stamp Yearbook. 

Additional Supply 

77 

Post Offices requiring additional stamps must requisition 

them from their designated SDO using PS Form 17. There 

will be no backup at the accountable paper depositories for 

fulfilling supplemental orders from SDOs. 

Sales Policy 

All Post Offices must acquire and maintain a supply of 

each new commemorative stamp as long as customer demand 

exists, until inventory is depleted, or until the stamp is 

officially withdrawn from sale. If supplies run low, Post Offices 

must reorder additional quantities using their normal 

ordering procedures. The special issue Greetings from 

America pane may not be split, and the stamps may not 

be sold individually. 

— Stamp Services, 

Government Relations and Public Policy, 10-3-02 

The yearbooks and stamp packets are being shipped to 

SDOs separately from different suppliers. 

The printing contractor for the yearbook has already 

completed its shipments to SDOs. Shipments are in master 

cartons of 15 books. 

The stamp packets will be banded in bundles of 15 and 

shipped to SDOs in master cartons of 150 packets. Partial 

cartons will be used for shipments not in multiples of 150. 

Minnesota Diversified Industries will ship the stamp 

packets to SDOs in two waves. Wave 1, consisting of 

approximately one-half the SDO’s designated quantity, is 

scheduled to begin shipment October 3, and will be completed 

October 17, 2002. The remaining stamp packets will 

be shipped in Wave 2 beginning October 21, and will be 

completed November 15, 2002. All SDOs must verify receipt 

of the quantities of stamp packets, as recorded on 

their PS Form 3309, Advice of Shipment/Stamp Invoice, 

and those actually received. SDOs should also verify that 

they have received equal quantities of books and stamp 

packets. 

Offices must report all sales of Item 992200, 2002 

Commemorative Stamp Yearbook, in AIC 092, Philatelic 

Product Sales. 

For the third year, in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers, 

this book as well as the 29th edition of The Postal 

Service Guide to U.S. Stamps will be available in bookstores

The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps, 29th Edition 

The new 29th edition of The Postal Service Guide to 

U.S. Stamps, Item 880200, is available for sale at all Post 

Offices, philatelic centers, and by mail, telephone, and Internet 

order from Stamp Fulfillment Services. 

To obtain the initial supply for your Post Office, immediately 

order Item 880200 from your designated stamp distribution 

office (SDO) using a separate PS Form 17, Stamp 

Requisition. All locations may place the new edition of the 

guide on sale as soon as initial quantities are received. 

The new 29th edition features more than 100 new illustrations, 

hundreds of new listings and prices, plus new 

features and stamp-related facts. Priced at $18.95, the 

592-page guide includes lists of market-based values for all 

U.S. used and unused stamps and for many valuable 

stamp errors. In addition, the guide contains more than 

2,000 full-color stamp illustrations; extensive lists of philatelic 

organizations, publications, and resources; and a 

wealth of basic stamp collecting information. These features 

make it a valuable tool for beginning, intermediate, 

and advanced collectors, and it is still one of the best bargains 

in the hobby. 

The printing contractor for the guide shipped the books 

(which are accountable items) in cartons of 20 to SDOs and 

stamp service centers (SSCs). Installations should report 

any discrepancies between the quantities shown on the Advice 

of Shipment and those actually received by using the 

procedure outlined in Handbook (HBK) F-1, Post Office Accounting 

Procedures, sections 436 or 446, Handling Discrepancies 

in Stock Received. 

Promotional copies of the guide will not be distributed. 

You can now display the guide in your Post Office by simply 

removing a copy from your inventory for promotional use. 

Follow the procedures outlined in HBK F-1 section 428.8, 

Obtaining Stock for Promotions or Presentations. 

Offices must report all sales of Item 880200, 29th 

Edition, The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps, in 

AIC 092, Philatelic Product Sales. 

For the third year, in partnership with HarperCollins Publishers, 

this book as well as the 2002 Commemorative 

Stamp Yearbook will be available in bookstores and other 

retail outlets where books are purchased. 

The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps, 28th 

Edition 

As the 29th edition of The Postal Service Guide to U.S. 

Stamps becomes available, Post Offices must withhold all 

remaining copies of the 28th edition (Item 890100) from 

sale and take the following actions: 

1. Retail Outlets. Collect any copies of the 28th edition 

of the guide from stamp credits. Immediately return 

them to main stock using PS Form 17, Stamp Requisition/Stamp 

Return. Post Offices. Consolidate all remaining 

copies of the 28th edition of the guide, if any, 

into the unit reserve stock. Prepare all 28th editions 

of the guide in accordance with procedures established 

for disposing of obsolete and redeemed 

stock, and submit according to local 

district quarterly stamp destruction or return 

schedules. 

2. Local Office Philatelic Programs. Submit PS Form 17 

to the local SDO and SSC for the number of 28th editions 

of the guide (Item 890100) needed for philatelic/ 

promotional programs. You may give one or more 

copies to local schools, libraries, student groups, 

stamp clubs, and retirement homes. 

3. Stamp Distribution Offices. Stamp all copies of the 

guide used in promoting philatelic programs “NOT 

FOR RESALE.” The SDO custodian of accountable 

paper must attest that each item is so stamped 

and prepare PS Form 3238, Stamps and Stamped 

Paper Destruction Certificate, endorsed “PHILATEL- 

IC PRODUCTS GIVEN TO PHILATELIC PRO- 

GRAMS.” Program coordinators must acknowledge 

receipt of Item 890100 and be responsible for its 

control. 

Note: The instructions for providing obsolete editions 

of the guide for philatelic and promotional purposes 

are an exception to general guidelines for 

destruction of accountable items, especially regarding 

obsolete (withdrawn from sale) items. In this 

instance, it is Postal Service policy not to destroy 

copies of the previous year’s edition of the guide 

when they can be used for valid promotional and/or 

educational purposes. 

Disposition of Excess Guides 

Dispose of all remaining copies of the 28th edition of 

The Postal Service Guide to U.S. Stamps (Item 890100) in 

accordance with Handbook F-1, section 45, Destroying 

Stamp Stock. Because disposition instructions are issued 

annually for past issues of guide, your office should have 

only the new 29th edition in inventory after completing 

the above procedures. If previous editions are on hand, 

discard/recycle them immediately, in accordance with 

Handbook F-1, section 45.

Mail Transport Equipment Round-Up — Fall and Holiday Mailing Seasons 

To make the upcoming Fall and Holiday mailing seasons 

successful, we need your assistance to ensure that we 

meet our customers’ needs. Please see poster on page 91. 

During the upcoming mailing seasons, conduct an ongoing 

mail transport equipment (MTE) round-up to locate unprocessed, 

forgotten, and misused MTE. Return all such 

MTE to circulation, and report it to your area mail transport 

equipment specialist (AMTES). 

Specifically, we currently have a critical shortage of flat 

tubs and trays, so please focus on finding those during the 

round-up. Canvas your facilities and round up all flat 

tubs and trays that are being used for any purpose other 

than mail processing. 

Mailers’ MTE stock also must be kept at the appropriate 

levels. When some mailers overstock on MTE, they prevent 

other mailers from completing their mailings. They should 

maintain no more than a 7-day supply of MTE. If you find 

that any mailer’s supply exceeds that level, contact your 

AMTES, who will correct the problem by arranging for 

redeployment. 

Following is a list of AMTESs and their contact 

information.

Retail 

Buy stamps here The Postal Service is introducing its new “Buy Stamps Here” decal. It will 

help customers easily identify non–Postal Service locations coast-to-coast 

where stamps are sold. Look for the decal at participating supermarkets, 

drug stores, and ATMs, on vending machines, and at contract postal 

stations. 

It’s about providing affordable, universal service — when and where 

people need them. 

“Tape Stamps” market test A new 100-stamp coil is being market tested in POS Post Offices this fall. 

The Holiday Snowmen stamps, Item 781200, will be issued as a special 

linerless, pressure-sensitive adhesive stamp coil. Employee and customer 

focus group testing revealed that potential customers like this new coil 

format because it can be placed into a 1-inch tape dispenser and used 

like tape. They’re called Tape Stamps. They’re cost-effective, 

environmentally friendly, and easy to use. There’s no stamp backer lining 

to throw away. 

The first day of issue for this new stamp coil is October 28, 2002, with 

nationwide sales beginning on October 29, 2002. The results of this 

market test will determine if the Postal Service will pursue further 

development and production of this new coil format. Educating consumers 

about this new coil and how to use it properly is a critical element in 

accurately gauging the success of this new product. 

Only POS Post Offices will receive the test coils to track sales data. Three 

million coils of 100 stamps (300 million stamps) will be produced for this 

test; therefore, stamp distribution offices (SDOs) will not be receiving an 

additional quantity for reorders for traditional stores. Postal Stores will 

receive the Tape Stamps in two packaging formats; both formats will be 

packaged in “clamshell” packs for slat walls. One format includes a single 

coil of 100 stamps, Item 781201, selling for $37; the other format is a 

single coil of 100 stamps with a reusable stamp dispenser, Item 781202, 

selling for $38. Both packages will contain a customer opinion survey card 

to obtain customer feedback on this new product. Instructions on how to 

use this new coil will also be printed on the backer card. All packaging will 

carry security tags so additional security tagging is not needed. 

97


Because the packaged coils for Postal Stores are bulky and could cause 

storage problems for stores and SDOs, Postal Stores will get two direct 

shipments of coils — one shipment before the first day of issue and the 

other shipment just after first day of issue. Both shipments will equal 

one-half of the expected sales needs. SDOs will need to order additional 

packaged coil stock based on their available storage space and the 

available storage space in their Postal Stores. The Tape Stamps will be 

sent through the SDOs for proper accountability transferring. However, 

they will be boxed and identified for specific Post Office locations. The 

distribution quantities going to offices are based on an individual Post 

Office’s prior sales history of coil stamps. 

POS offices other than Postal Stores (traditional Post Offices) will receive 

their coils in “sticks” of five, which can be broken off into single coil units. 

This format takes up less drawer space. Traditional offices also will receive 

a shipment of Tape Stamp dispensers. These dispensers are made 

especially for Tape Stamp coils and will sell for $1. The dispensers will be 

packaged for slat wall display. 

Sales associates are encouraged to explain to customers how to use the 

new Tape Stamps and stamp dispenser. As an option, sales associates 

should explain that the coil can be used on standard 1-inch tape 

dispensers. It’s important to note that Tape Stamps will not dispense 

properly using standard stamp coil dispensers — the dispenser will gum 

up, making it difficult to dispense the stamps. Tape Stamp coils can also 

be used without a dispenser. The customer should simply replace the 

starter tab on the first stamp after using the desired amount of stamps. 

This tab makes the coil easier to use and prevents the stamps from 

sticking to the roll. Storage: Avoid exposing Tape Stamp coils to hot 

temperatures. If exposed to hot temperatures, cool to room temperature 

before using. 

The holidays are coming The Holiday retail drive period begins October 19. Research tells us that 

during this period folks who don’t regularly frequent Post Offices will be 

coming in more often to buy stamps for cards and to send gifts. The goal 

of the drive period is to look for opportunities to educate residential 

customers on Postal Service products and services that best fit their 

mailing needs. In particular, spread the word about Express Mail and 

Priority Mail services, along with extra services like Insurance and 

Delivery Confirmation services.


The Holiday point-of-purchase (POP) kits and employee communications 

elements will start arriving in all offices this week. Make sure to change 

the signs on October 19 so customers are aware of the services they 

need. It’ll make their holidays brighter — and help our bottom line. 

Ring in the holidays There’s a new FIRSTCLASS PHONECARD holiday 4-pack available this 

season that offers customers a great deal. It features four 50-minute 

phone cards for only $24. If sold separately at the current retail price, 

customers would pay $32 for the four cards. At the new low price, it’s like 

getting one 50-minute FIRSTCLASS PHONECARD free! The holiday 

4-packs make great stocking stuffers and are perfect gifts for teachers, 

the barber, the newspaper delivery person, the dog walker — everyone 

on the holiday gift-giving list. This promotion is bound to raise 

FIRSTCLASS PHONECARD revenue during the holiday season. 

ReadyPost video The Postal Service, in partnership with Hallmark, has produced a 

14-minute video on the ReadyPost shipping supplies program. Topics 

include commentary by Postal Service Retail Marketing on the national 

program and its success, testimonials from Postal Service employees 

around the country, and principles of successful ReadyPost retailing 

efforts. These principles include anticipating customer needs, ordering the 

right product mix and making it available, and clean and well-organized 

merchandising. Copies of the video were sent to each district. Offices 

interested in obtaining a copy should contact their retail specialist. 

One of Hallmark’s responsibilities is to provide unit-level support to help 

ensure Post Offices are getting the fullest benefit from ReadyPost. 

Hallmark representatives will be available to attend Postal Service retail 

meetings to provide an educational PowerPoint overview on the 

ReadyPost shipping supplies program. This 45-minute presentation 

includes a showing of the video. Hallmark representatives also will be 

able to answer any questions concerning the program. If you’re 

interested, please contact Susan Thomas, Hallmark representative, at 

816-216-3214 or e-mail her at sthomas5@hallmark.com.

CORRECTION 

Click-N-Ship 

The Stand-Up Talk in Postal Bulletin 22085 (9-19-02, 

page 4) included incorrect information regarding why the 

weight requirements for pieces dropped into a collection 

box are not applicable in this case. 

Supply Management 

REMINDER 

Disposal of Unserviceable and/or Obsolete Post Office Box Units 

When disposing of Post Office box units with key type 

locks that are unserviceable and/or obsolete, you must 

follow the disposal procedures provided in Handbook 

AS-701, Material Management, Section 646.5, Post Office 

Boxes. 

That section specifies that you must 

Remove (punch out) the keys and locks on 

unserviceable/obsolete Post Office box units, or 

Remove those keys and render those locks inoperable 

(drilled with a quarter-inch bit), before disposing 

the units. 

The fifth paragraph of the Stand-Up Talk should now 

read as follows (changed text is bolded): 

For added convenience, customers may drop 

pieces with domestic Express Mail and Priority Mail 

online shipping labels with PC Postage, regardless 

of weight, into a collection box. This is because PC 

Postage customers are required to register with 

www.usps.com and pay with a credit card.

2003 Year Type for Hand Stamp and Cancelling Machines 

The 2003 year type for hand stamp and cancelling machines 

will be automatically distributed to all Postal Service 

facilities that received 2002 year type for hand stamps and 

cancelling machines. The Material Distribution Center 

(MDC) mailed a postcard notification on September 27, 

2002, to each Postal Service facility that received 2002 

year type. If your facility needs a different quantity or a different 

2003 year type, make changes on the preaddressed 

postcard and drop it in the mail. If no changes are needed, 

do not mail the postcard. Complete instructions are on the 

postcard. 

If your facility needs 2003 year type for hand stamp or 

cancelling machines but has not received a postcard notification 

by October 18, 2002, contact Materials Customer 

Service no later than October 25, 2002. Please be ready to
