Electronic Documentation with Comailed and Copalletized Mailings – Comment Period
 
The Federal Register notice proposing new DMM® standards for Submission of Electronic Documentation with Comailed and Copalletized Mailings was posted today on Postal Explorer® at pe.usps.com.   
 
This proposed revision would require mail owners participating in a comailing or copalletization process for letters or flats to use an approved method to prepare electronic documentation to support their mailpieces, and would require consolidators to electronically submit documentation to the USPS® by an approved method. 
 
We encourage customers to review and comment on or before July 7, 2010

Change in Intelligent Mail Barcode Requirements for Letter-Size and Flat-Size Business Reply Mail, Courtesy Reply Mail

We recently revised the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) to postpone the Intelligent Mail® barcode (IMb) requirement for Qualified Business Reply Mail® (QBRM) and permit reply mail (PRM) pieces until May 2011. Current DMM standards, which we are not proposing to change, require an IMb on all BRM letters and on all PRM pieces as of May 2011.
 
This advance announcement is intended to provide customers with reasonable time to use up existing stock. We will be publishing a Federal Register proposed rule to require BRM flats (in addition to letters as stated above) to use an Intelligent Mail Barcode as of May 2011.  In addition, in the Federal Register proposed rule, Courtesy Reply Mail™ that does include a barcode must bear an Intelligent Mail barcode effective May 2011.
