Postal Service October 17, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Postal Service is proposing to revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM[supreg]) throughout various sections to modify eligibility requirements for mailers to obtain automation prices for First-Class Mail[supreg], Standard Mail[supreg], Periodicals[supreg], and Bound Printed Matter[supreg] when mailing postcards, letters, and flats. Effective January 2014, use of ``full-service'' Intelligent Mail[supreg] would be required to obtain automation prices. Additionally, the 10/24 transitional barcoded tray label format would be eliminated and mailers would be required to use the 24-digit Intelligent Mail barcode (IMbTM) format on tray, tub, and sack labels.
