Standard Mail

Today the Federal Register published our Domestic Mail Manual (DMM^®) final rule that revises mailing standards to include new promotions and incentive programs that will be offered in 2013 for Presorted and automation First-Class Mail^® cards, letters, and flats and Standard Mail^® letters, flats, or parcels.

In this final rule, we provide a description of the eligibility conditions for six promotional programs and the revised mailing standards to implement them, as well as listing the types of mailpieces eligible for each promotion.

The DMM effective date is March 4, 2013.
