Current product submission
procedures, the Performance Criteria
and Security Architecture for Open
Information Based Indicia (IBI) Postage
Evidencing Systems and the
Performance Criteria and Security
Architecture for Closed Information
Based Indicia (IBI) Postage Evidencing
Systems (collectively known as the
PCIBI) are approximately 10 years old,
and since their inception have had little
or no substantive updates since being
initially provided to the Postage
Evidencing System (PES) industry. The
PES environment has changed
substantially with the availability of
new PES products designed to meet new
customer needs for access to postage. In
addition, changes within the United
States Postal Service® (USPS®)
infrastructure provide enhanced
opportunities for PES providers to
propose new concepts, methods, and
processes to create, distribute, and
enable customers to print pre-paid
evidence of postage while improving
Postal Service operations efficiency and
effectiveness.
On March 30, 2011, the Postal Service
published (and requested comments on)
a proposed change that will replace the
current PES product submission
procedures and the PCIBI with the
proposed IMI PC document (‘‘IMI PC’’
or ‘‘Document’’). This Document is
comprised of four volumes to support
the United States Postal Service®
(USPS®) PES Test and Evaluation
Program (the ‘‘Program’’). The intent is

for the volumes to fully support each
other without being redundant in
content.
Description of Replacement Document
Volume I—PES Requirements.
Provides the PES industry and test
laboratories with detailed information,
requirements, and the guidance
necessary to develop new PES
technology compliant with current
USPS® requirements.
Volume II—IMI Requirements.
Provides the minimum required
information, both human-readable and
machine readable, for all postage
evidence produced by a PES. This
volume also provides the reporting
requirements for all supporting data
systems used by USPS® to manage the
program.
Volume III—Test and Evaluation
Requirements. Provides guidance on
additional test and evaluation
procedures that a PES must undergo to
receive USPS® approval, as well as
providing guidance for testing
laboratories certified by National
Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) to perform Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140–X
testing and USPS® approved PES testing
entities (PTE).
Volume IV—PES Test and Evaluation
Program Requirements. Provides the
Program and logistical processes
required for a new PES to obtain
approval from the USPS® as well as the
requirements for the evaluation and
submission of changes and updates to a
previously approved PES.

Annexes A through M provide
detailed requirements to support the
four volumes described above.
Annex K—Self Service Postage
Dispensing (Kiosk) System
Requirements. The Kiosk requirements
were created for USPS® branded Kiosks
only and did not fully consider other
unbranded kiosks. This Annex will be
updated and expanded to define
requirements for both. This annex will
be recirculated for comment by April 1,
2013.
Implementation Schedule
New IBI product Concepts of
Operation (Con-Ops) may be submitted
under the PCIBI if Alpha testing is
completed by September 30, 2013.
Effective February 1, 2013, new
product submissions must follow the
submission and testing processes in
Volumes 3 and 4.
For existing IBI Products—Processes
in the IMI remain the same as in the IBI.
Effective October 1, 2013, new
product submissions must adhere to
requirements in Volumes 1 and 2.
Existing IBI Products—These
products will continue under PCIBI but
must maintain valid FIPS certification.
With the exception of Annex K, as
mentioned previously, all annexes will
become effective with the Volume they
support.
Summary of Comments and Responses
Comments regarding the proposed
criteria were received by providers,
USPS personnel, and other industry
professionals. To review the comments,
a Change Control Board (CCB) was
formed with various Postal stakeholders
represented. The merits of each
comment were discussed and reviewed.
To receive a copy of the comments and
how we addressed them, mail or deliver
