December DMM Update

Postal Explorer (pe.usps.com) is your 24-hour source for postage rates and mailing standards. The Domestic Mail Manual is fully searchable on Explorer and features fly-out menus, cross-reference links, and an extensive subject index. Today we updated our mailing standards to capture the following changes:

Not Flat-Machinable Pieces

We revised 443.5.5.1 to clarify standards for Not Flat-Machinable pieces prepared on 5-digit/scheme pallets.

Labeling Lists

We revised the labeling lists to reflect changes in mail processing operations.

Our next scheduled DMM update is January 3, 2008.

Service Performance Measurement

The Postal Regulatory Commission issued a notice requesting comments on service performance measurement for market dominant products. Customers are invited to comment on the proposed measurement system by January 7, 2009.

The Commission will post all comments on its Web site, www.prc.gov.
