Implementation of New Standards for Intelligent Mail® Barcodes
On January 7, 2008, we published in the Federal Register (Volume 73, Number 4) an advance notice of our intention to require the use of Intelligent Mail barcodes on all letters and flats mailed at automation prices as of January, 2009. We presented our Intelligent Mail vision and asked for comments from our customers. We described two options for using Intelligent Mail barcodes: The basic option and the full-service option. In this proposed rule, we have summarized comments and are now publishing our revised mailing standards for the use of Intelligent Mail barcodes.
Service Barcode Required for Priority Mail Open and Distribute Container Address Labels
In this proposed rule the Postal Service provides new mailing standards to require the use of a concatenated UCC/EAN Code 128 Service barcode with a unique Service Type Code ``55'' on all Priority Mail[reg] Open and Distribute container address labels. A proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 100, pages 29100-29101), requiring the use of a concatenated UCC/EAN Code 128 Delivery Confirmation service barcode. Although no comments were received in response to the proposed rule, because of the modification we have decided to publish a second proposed rule to solicit any new comments.
