Message From the Postmaster General

National Nurses' Week To honor nurses throughout the country,

the week of May 6..;.12 is designated National Nurses' Week. Certainly our Postal Service nurses well-deserve this recognition for the fine work they do in so many postal facilities.

Although there are two million registered nurses in the American health care system, only a small percentage specialize in the area of occupational health. The Postal Service is fortunate to employ 364 occupational health nurses, who have dedicated themselves to maintaining the health of postal employees through direct patient care and through education and counseling aimed at preventing illness.

USPS nurses touch the lives of many of us. They evaluate and treat our injuries and illnesses. In addition, their special knowledge and advice help postal employees keep minor health problems from becoming complicated.

During this special week, please join me in saluting these dedicated individuals. We are grateful for and proud of their continuing contribution to the health and welfare of all of us.

~~·~ ANTHONY M. FRANK

Postmaster General.

• Promote the sustainable use of natural resources and protection of the environment through conservation, recycling, and reuse of material in our own processes and as we work with customers in the preparation of mail.

• Include environmental considerations among the criteria by which projects, products, processes, and purchases are evaluated.

• Develop in our employees an awareness of environmental responsibilities and encourage their adherence to sound environmental practices.

• Maintain an ongoing assurance program to measure our progress toward meeting our environmental objectives.

All /RT Sites

Local Zone Rate Computation With IRTs

The integrated retail terminal, (IR T) is programmed to compute the local zone rate for the appropriate mail classes, but the employee must select this feature; it is not automatic. This rate should be given for single piece parcel post or bound printed matter, as applicable deposited at any post office for delivery to an address within the delivery area of that_ same post office. It applies to both single five-digit and multi-ZIP Coded post offices. Offices with IRTs should use the following steps to compute local zone:

1. Employees using UNISYS Phase II or Phase III IRTs select parcel post or bound printed matter, as applicable, place the item on the scale platform, then key the three digits from the ZIP Code followed by zero.

2. Those using MOS IRTs select parcel post or bound printed matter, as applicable, place the item on the scale platform, then key zero at the enter ZIP Code message and press Enter.

Managers should disseminate this information as a service talk to all employees accepting single pieces of mail using IRTs. They should document those receiving the information on Form 1627, General Purpose Ruled Form, and retain it at the unit.

-Medical Division, Employee Assistance Program, 5-2-91

MISUSE OF USPS PROPERTY Private firms, particularly in large urban areas,

use postal equipment for other than mailing purposes. For example, firms use 1046 hampers, clearly marked as U.S. Postal Service property, for waste collection, storage of work in process, and the like.

Such misuse of postal property is illegal. Title 18, Section 1707 of the United States Code states:

Whoever steals, purloins, or embezzles any property used by the Postal Service, or appropriates any such property to his own or any other than its proper use, or conveys away any such property to the hindrance or detriment of the public service, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; but if the value of such property does not exceed $100, he

shall be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Postal employees who become aware of equipment misuse must notify their division general managers/postmasters. Division managers, or their designees, should contact the executive officer, or responsible manager, of the private firm and advise him or her that it is illegal to use postal equipment for their own use. They have the equipment for mailing purposes only. The firms must return all excess equipment.

When private firms refuse to comply, and division managers have made repeated requests for compliance, they should refer the matter, including any photographs or documentation, to the local Postal Inspector in Charge.

This revision does not affect the remainder of DMM 134.222.

Members of the Armed Forces authorized this privilege may use it to mail only letters, postcards, and video and sound recordings having the character of personal correspondence to delivery addresses served by United States post offices, APOs, and FPOs. The member must write the word Free in the upper right corner of the address side of the mailpiece, and write the sender's name, grade, and complete military address in the upper left corner.

MIGRATORY BIRD HUNTING AND CONSERVATION STAMP The $15 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conserva

tion stamp for the 1991-92 hunting season goes on sale in Washington, DC, on June 30, 1991, and remains on sale through June 30, 1992. The Department of Interior will formally issue this stamp at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. The $15 Migratory Bird stamp goes on sale at all post offices July 1.

Postmasters with a demand for these stamps must immediately consider their requirements, examining their actual needs so as to avoid ordering excessive quantities. Despite fairly constant sales, offices are ordering an increasing number of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps. Increased orders indicate overstocking at some post offices, resulting in unnecessary production and destruction costs. Postmasters also must not destroy these stamps to provide more plate blocks for sale.

Postmasters with authorized philatelic centers should order an adequate supply of these stamps.

Stamp Distribution Offices

Stamp distribution offices (SDOs) must review their inventory records for past issues of Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps and calculate the average number of stamps distributed. They should use this information to requisition the appropriate quantity of the 1991-92 series stamp rounded up to the proper ordering level.

SDOs requiring these stamps in minimum lots of 3,000 stamps should immediately requisition them from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on Form 3356, Stamp Requisition-Bulk Qµantities, using Item 3322. Order the stamps in quantities of 3,000; 6,000; 9,000; 12,000; 15,000; 30,000; 45,000; 60,000; 75,000 stamps and in multiples of 75,000 stamps to a maximum of675,000 stamps per requisition.

SDOs requiring fewer than 3,000 stamps must immediately submit separate Forms 17-A, Accountable Items Requisition From Stamp Distribution Office, to their regional accountable paper depositories. ·

Originating Priority Mail Clearance Time

As stated in Management Instruction (Ml) P0-430-90-3, Priority Mail Improvement Program, dated 11-30-90, operating plans must reflect a clearance time no later than 0100 ( 1 a.m.) day 1 for Priority Mail deposited by 17 00 ( 5 p. m.) day 0. However, facilities whose present clearance times are earlier than 0100 will continue to process and clear their originating Priority Mail in accordance with their approved operating plans.

The above MI will be revised to state that Priority Mail has the same commitments as First-Class Mail in the overnight area. -Delivery, Distribution, and


Each management sectional center will automatically receive an initial supply of 400 Posters #3-125 (RevisedJuly 1991), Waterfowlers-Attention. They may order additional posters, available by June 15, from the materiel distribution centers using Form 7380, MDC Supply Requisition.

Associate Offices

To allow postmasters to order the 1991-92 Series stamp in quantities closely corresponding to customer demand, the minimum ordering quantity is five stamps. However, postmasters should order full panes of 30 stamps whenever practical. Postmasters should review their records to determine the average number of previous Migratory Bird stamps sold. They should use this information to order the appropriate number of the 1991-92 series stamp, rounded up to multiples of 5 or 30 stamps. .

Before June 8, 1991, postmastets must submit separate Forms 17-A to their SDOs for enough Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps to last until March 1, 1992. Postmasters with philatelic centers should order according to philatelic demand. Attach to Form 17-A a memorandum stating the number of Posters #3-125 needed for main offices and classified units. Postmasters may requisition additional stamps from the SDO, if the initial supply is not adequate to last until March 1, 1992.

Hunting Regulations Pamphlets

The Department of the Interior does not automatically distribute pamphlets on hunting regulations because Migratory Game Bird laws vary by state. Poster #3-125 directs inquiries concerning hunting regulations to the State Wildlife Agency or a regional office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Addresses for regional offices of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appear on Poster #3-125.


Missing Supplies Postal personnel ordering supplies from the ma

teriel distribution centers (MDCs) should mail their requisitions (Form 7380, MDC Supply Requisition) in envelope EP-194. Do not use envelopes EP-189 or EP-433 when submitting Form 7380 to the MDCs.

The MDCs use electric letter opening equipment that can, in many cases, mutilate requisitions at the crease point when enclosed in the EP-189 and EP-433 envelopes. If information at the crease point is lost, the MDCs will not be able to enter all the data from the requisition into the system.

Offices must always use EP-194 for mailing Form 7380 requisitions to the MDCs.

5-CENT AND 10-CENT PRECANCELED COILS The 5-cent Canoe and the 10-cent Tractor Trail

er precanceled coil stamps go on sale May 25, 1991, in Secaucus, New Jersey. Due to the numerous categories and stamp issues involved with FirstClass and third-class mailings, the Postal Service is simplifying the process by issuing only two precanceled stamps. These two precanceled stamps will be- used- until further notice for all categories of First-Class presort and bulk third-class mailings, including pieces mailed at automation discount rates.

The 5-cent Canoe stamps will be used for all (nonprofit) special, bulk third-class mail.

The 10-cent Tractor Trailer stamp covers all the rates for First-Class presort and regular third-class bulk rate mail, including pieces mailed at automation discount rates.

Precanceled Inscriptions. Additional Nonprofit Postage Paid is printed on the 5-cent Canoe stamp and Additional Presort Postage Paid is printed on the 10-cent Tractor Trailer. These denominations reflect the whole-cent value immediately below the applicable lowest bulk third-class carrier-route presort rate. The IO-cent denomination stamp is 5.2 cents below the lowest First-Class carrier route presort rate for cards.

Acceptance and Payment of Postage. Customers with mail bearing either of these two precanceled postage stamps must present their stamped mailpieces to authorized postal employees at the bulk mail acceptance units of the post office where the permit is held. The additional postage required to meet a particular rate for each mailing piece must be paid by means of a meter strip affixed to the back of the appropriate mailing statement that is required to accompany the mailing or through an advanced deposit account as provided for in Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures, section 524.

Additional Endorsement. Pieces mailed at these rates must bear the appropriate endorsements required by Domestic Mail Manual sections 362 and 629.6, printed or rubberstamped by the mailer above the delivery address and immediately below or to the left of the precanceled stamp.

THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN OPEN SEASON The next Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) open season

is May 15, 1991, through July 31, 1991. All career employees hired before January 1, 1991, are eligible to participate in this open season.

Elections

Employees covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) and the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS), including CSRS offset employees, have the same election options, i.e., to begin contributing, stop contributing, change the amount or percentage being contributed, or change the allocation of the contribution among TSP funds. CSRS employees may contribute up to 5 percent of their basic salary, while FERS employees may contribute up to 10 percent. All employee contributions are subject to a maximum annual limit of $8,475.00 during calendar year 1991.

Each employee making an open season contribution election must submit TSP-1, Thrift Savings Plan Election Form, to his or her personnel office for processing. Forms TSP-1 must not be sent directly to the TSP service office.

There are three TSP funds in which participants may invest: the Government Securities Investment (G) Fund, the Common Stock (C) Fund, and the Fixed Income Investment (F) Fund. During the open season, participants may allocate any portion or all of their future TSP contributions to one or more of these investment funds. (Employees may also transfer existing account balances among these three investment funds by completing TSP 30, Interfund Transfer Request. This type of transfer is not restricted to open season. (See Interfund Transfers below.) ·

Effective Dates

During this open season, the effective dates for TSP elections are July 13, 1991 (PP 16-91), and July 27, 1991 (PP 17-91). Elections received from May 15 up to and including July 24 must be processed no later than July 24 with an effective date of July 13, 1991. Elections received fromJuly 25 up to and including July 31 must be processed no later than August 7 with an effective date of July 27, 1991. For open season elections, personnel offices should refer to the table below to determine the ~ffective date and the last day for timely processmg.

Effedive Date

7-13-91 7-27-91

Last Day for Timely

Processing

7-24-91 8-7-91

It is of the utmost importance to process all open season elections in a timely manner. If an open season election

is not processed on time due to administ~ative error, the election must be processed retroactively, per Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM) 594.22, with an effective date of July 13, 1991, or July 27, 1991, depending on the date the employee initially filed his o.r her election form with the personnel office.

While ELM 591.53 states that elections are effective ". . . no later than the first day of the first pay period after submission ... , this provision does not apply to open season elections, including elections processed late due to administrative error. A future Postal Bulletin will announce a revision to this section of the ELM.

Distribution of Materials

The materiel distribution centers (MDCs) will send TSP BK08, Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan for Federal Employees; TSP-1, Election Form; and the brochure TSP-0591, Open Season Update-May 15, 1991 to July 31, 1991, directly to each field division, management sectional center (MSC), and bulk mail center (BMC) for use during open season.

The summary, TSP BK08, must be mailed to all career employees newly eligible to participate in the Thrift Savings Plan during this open season. To accomplish this, each field division, MSC and BMC receives a listing of newly eligible employees and mailing lablels from the Minneapolis Postal Data Center before open season. The Summary, TSP BK08; the Election Form, TSP-1; and the Update, TSP-0591, must be available, upon request, to all eligible employees, including previously eligible career employees.

Publicity

The Thrift Investment Board will ship a supply of posters for this open season directly to each field division. Field divisions must ensure that each MSC and BMC under their jurisdiction receives posters and that the posters are widely distributed.

To assist in publicizing the TSP open season, post the notice printed on page 19 and the TSP Fact Sheet on page 23 on all bulletin boards throughJuly 31, 1991.

Participant Statements/ Address Changes

Employees with a TSP account will receive a Participant Statement from the Thrift Savings Plan in May, 1991. The TSP office mails the statement to the employee's mailing address as listed in the Postal Service personnel and payroll system. An employee with a change of address must submit Form 1216, Employee's Current Mailing Address, to his or her personnel office in order to update the mailing address used by TSP.

lnterfund Transfers

All TSP participants may make an interfund transfer up to four times in any calendar year, in

t I

POSTAL BULLnlN 21788, 5-2-91, Paga 13

THRIFT SAVINGS PLAN OPEN SEASON-Continued _any months they choose·. An interfund transfer applies to a participant's entire account balance, including Employee, Agency Automatic ( 1 percent), and Agency Matching Contributions, and all earnings on these contributions. To make an interfund transfer, a participant must complete TSP-30, Interfund Transfer Request, and submit it directly to the TSP service office at the address on the form.

Participants may obtain TSP~30, Interfund Trans-fer Request, from their personnel office or request it from the TSP service office. Personnel offices must not process these forms. If an employee submits TSP-30 to a personnel office, the office must return it to the employee immediately. After processing by TSP, all information about a completed interfund transfer is sent to the participant's mailing address by the TSP service office.

Designation of Beneficiary

TSP participants should be encouraged to complete TSP-3, Federal Retirement Thrift Savings Plan

Designation of Beneficiary (revised 8/88), at the time of election. (The January 1987 version of the form is still valid for employees who previously filed it, but should no longer be issued.) Completion of TSP-3 ensures that in the case of an employee's death, the TSP account balance will be distributed according to the employee's stated preferences.

TSP Annuity Booklet

Along with open season materials, the MDCs will make an automatic distribution of the booklet entitled TSP BK05, Thrift Savings Plan Annuities, directly to each field division, MSC, and BMC. This booklet was revised in January 1991; all previous editions are obsolete. The booklet is not an open season document. It should be made available to TSP participants who are considering retirement.

The following table summarizes the distribution and personnel office action for the TSP forms and booklets discussed above.

No. 91-2 POWER LAWNMOWERS

Every year an alarming number of accidents occur from the misuse of power lawnmowers. Injuries may occur to persons operating mowers, as well as to bystanders who may be struck by pieces of flying debris. Personal contacts with revolving parts and blades have also injured operators' feet and hands. Since a lot of time is spent mowing the lawn this time of the year, it is important to be aware of the hazards involved. Observing the following safety precautions may help avoid a lawnmower accident at work or at home:

1. Before you mow, clear the lawn of all objects such as rocks, sticks, cans, etc. 2. Avoid operating a mower when other persons are in the immediate area. 3. Adjust mower blades and other settings before you start it. 4. Wear safety glasses when mowing. Discharged items can ricochet off trees,

buildings, etc. 5. Operators should wear durable trousers, bump hats if mowing around heavy

brush, and hand, ear, eye, and foot protection. 6. Always shut the mower off, remove the spark plug wire, and clear the debris with a

stick. Never use your hands to do this. 7. Be sure to disconnect the spark plug when cleaning, repairing, adjusting, or

inspecting mowers. 8. Do not mow wet grass. You are likely to slip, and the wet grass will clog the mower

chute. 9. Do not mow up and down a hill with a walk-behind mower. If you slipped, your

foot might go under the mower. Instead, mow across a hill. If you use a riding mower, however, mow up and down to avoid tipping over.

10. Be extremely careful when pulling the mower backwards. You could pull it over your foot.

11. Don't leave the engine running while unattended. 12. Do not touch the muffier, which can become very hot after it has been in operation. 13. Refuel only after the engine cools and in properly ventilated areas. Smoking,

engine operation, or open flames should not be permitted during refueling. 14. Use approved safety containers to store and dispense fuels. 15. Newer mowers have a number of built-in safety features. Familiarize yourself with

these before using the mower. Do not attempt to disable or otherwise make a safety feature inoperative.

Only authorized persons should repair or adjust equipment.

For additional information on the safe and proper use of power lawnmowers, see Handbook EL-801, Supervisor's Safety Handbook, appendix A, page 18.

The C Fund is invested in the Wells Fargo Equity Index Fund, which tracks the S&P 500 stock index. The F Fund is invested in the Wells Fargo U.S. Debt Index Fund, which tracks the Shearson Lehman Brothers Aggregate bond index. The G Fund is invested in special issues ofU.S. Treasury securities.

The monthly C, F, and G Fund returns represent net earnings for the month, after deduction of accrued administrative expenses. The C and F Fund returns also reflect the deduction of trading costs and accrued investment management fees.

The C, F, and G Fund monthly returns are dollar-weighted: they reflect net earnings on the changing balances invested during the month. The C, F, and G Fund returns for the last 12 months assume, except for the crediting of earnings, unchanging balances (time-weighting) from month to month and assume earnings are compounded on a monthly basis.

The C and F Fund returns vary from the Wells Fargo returns because of C and F Fund expenses and changing balances in the C and F Funds. The Wells Fargo returns are time-weighted: they assume constant dollar balances invested during each month and throughout the period.

Future performance of the three funds will vary and may be significantly different from the returns shown above. See the "Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan" for detailed information about the funds and their investment risks.

REVISED REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF ZIP + 4 BARCODES Effective with Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) Issue

39 (6-16-91), DMM 551and552 are revised to add the regulations and formal requirements for use of the delivery point barcode and for the printing of ZIP + 4 barcodes in the address block. The threedigit ZIP Code areas to which address block barcoded pieces may be sent at the ZIP + 4 Barcoded rates were marked by asterisks in revised Exhibit 122.63m, in Postal Bulktin 21787 (4-18-91).

Mailers are encouraged to begin using these procedures immediately. The requirements for presentation of each class of mail and the documentation required to substantiate rate levels claimed do not change.

550 Requirements for Barcodecl Pieces

551 ZIP + 4 Delivery Point Barcode Requirements

551.1 Barcode Format

551.11 ZIP + 4 Barcode Format. (Text of existing 551.1.)

551.12 Delivery Point Barcode Format

551.121 Description. The delivery point barcode (DPBC) augments the existing ZIP + 4 barcode (see 551.11) by adding 10 additional bars. These bars represent the last two digits of the street address to identify a unique delivery point within a ZIP + 4 blockface range of addresses. Although the total length of the barcode increases from 52 to 62 bars (see Exhibit 551.121, page 38), the content


REVISED REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF ZIP + 4 BARCODES-Continued of the numeric ZIP + 4 code (street record) does not change. The numeric ZIP+ 4 code, which appears in the delivery address on the mailpiece, must not be altered to include the additional two numbers that were added to the barcode.

551.122 .Addr••• Anomoli••· Fractions, alpha characters, hyphens, and single digit numbers must be handled in accordance with Exhibit 551.122. (See page 39.)

551.123 U••· Mailers may apply the delivery point barcode immediately.

551.2 Barcode Location

551.21 General~ The ZIP+ 4 barcode or delivery point barcode must be located either within the "barcode read area" in the lower right corner of the address side of the mailpiece within a clear space known as the "barcode clear zone," subject to the specifications in 551.22 through 551.24, or within the address block, subject to the specifications in 551.25.

551.22 · Barcode Clear Zone (Lower right comer) 551.221 Dimen•ion•. The barcode clear zone

(see Exhibit 545) is a rectangular area on the address side of the mailpiece formed by the following boundaries: _

a. Left. 4% inches from the right edge of the mailpiece. (Effective January 1, 1992, this boundary is extended 1/4 inch to the left, i.e., to 43/4 inches from the right edge of the mailpiece.)

* * * * * 551.223 Color and Printing. The barcode clear

zone may contain colors and printing, such as logos, as long as this area meets the requirements in 551.42 and 551.422.

551.23 Barcode Read Area (Lower right corner)

551.231 Plaeemenl ol the Boreode. When the barcode is printed in the lower right corner barcode read area, the entire ZIP + 4 barcode or delivery point barcode must be completely contained within the barcode read area (see Exhibit 551.2). The barcode read area is formed by the limits described in 551.232 and 551.233.

551.232 Finl Bar Loeolion. (Add to the end of the section:) Effective January 1, 1992, the left-most bar of the barcode must be located between 3 % and 41/4 inches from the right edge of the mailpiece. The preferred start location is between 41/s and 4114 inches from the right edge of the mailpiece if printed directly on the mailpiece.

* * * * * 551.24 Barcodes on Inserts (Lower right corner).

ZIP + 4 and delivery point barcodes may be printed on inserts that will appear through a window in an envelope if both the window on the envelope and the barcode on the insert meet the specifications in 551. 7.

551.25 Placement of the ZIP + 4 or Delivery Point Barcode in the Address Block

551.251 Genel'tll. The ZIP + 4 barcode or delivery point barcode may be located in the address block on mailpieces prepared for delivery in the 3-digit ZIP Code areas marked with an asterisk in Exhibit 122 .63m, if the barcode meets the requirements of 551.252. (See Exhibit 551.251, page 40.)

551.252 Loeolion. ·When placed in the address block, the ZIP + 4 barcode or delivery point barcode must meet all the following requirements:

a. The barcode must be placed in one of the following three locations:

1. above the top printed line of the address (the preferred location),

2. below the city, state, and ZIP Code line, or

3. above the name of the recipient, but below optional or key line address lines.

b. Printing of the barcode anywhere between the name of the recipient and the city, state, and ZIP Code line is prohibited.

c. The right-most bar must be more than % inch from the right edge of the mailpiece, and the leftmost bar must be less than 10% inches from the right edge of the mailpiece and more than % inch from the left edge of the mailpiece.

d. The clearance between the left-most or rightmost bar and any printing or window edges must be at least 1/s inch, and the clearance between the barcode and the top and bottom window edges must be at least 1/25 inch.

e. The minimum clearance between the barcode and any information line located above or below it within the address block must be at least lf25 inch, and the separation between the barcode and top line or bottom line of the address block must not exceed o/s inch.

f. A clear space of at least 1/s inch must be left between the barcode and the left and right edges of the address label, and the clearance between the barcode and the top and bottom edge of the address label must be at least lf25 inch.

g. The top of any bar in the address block barcode must be less than 4 inches from the bottom edge of the mailpiece.

h. The bottom line of the address block, including the barcode, must be at least o/s inch from the bottom of the mailpiece.

i. If printed on an insert in a windowed envelope, the clearance between the barcode and the window (seed, above) must be maintained when the insert is shifted fully to the extremes of the envelope (left, right, upper, and lower edge).

j. If the window is covered on an envelope that shows a barcode in the address block, the requirements of 551. 723 must be met. (The window on an envelope that shows a barcode in the address block does not have to be covered.) 551.3 Barcode Dimensions and Spacing (See

Exhibit 551.3, page 43.)

* * * * *


REVISED REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF ZIP + 4 BARCODES-Continued 551.34 Horizontal Spacing. Horizontal spacing

on the bars must be 22 plus or minus 2 bars per inch. Pitch (a bar and a space) must be at least 0.0416 inch and no greater than 0.05 inch. The spacing (a clear vertical column) between bars must never be less than 0.012 inch. To accommodate variations in printing, a maximum space between bars of0.04 inch will be allowed.

551.4 Refledance

551.41 Background Refledance

551.411 Barcode Clear Zone. The material (envelope, card, insert material, or outermost sheet) in the barcode clear zone must produce a background reflectance of at least 50 percent in the red and 45 percent in the green portions of the optical spectrum when measured with a USPS or USPS licensed envelope reflectance meter. White and pastel colors generally satisfy this requirement.

Note: For pieces included in any barcoded mailing that do not bear a ZIP + 4 or delivery point barcode, it is strongly recommended but not required, that all such pieces include a barcode clear zone that meets the reflectance requirements of 551.4. The Postal Service intends to make this recommendation a requirement effective September 1992.

551.412 Address Block Barcodes. If the barcode is placed in the address block, in addition to the requirements of 551. 411, the background reflectance of the area surrounding the address block barcode, and within Vs inch of the left- and rightmost bars and %s inch above and below the barcode, must produce a background reflectance of at least 50 percent in the red and 45 percent in the green portions of the optical spectrum.

551.42 Print Contrast Ratio. A print contrast ratio (see 543.33) of at least 30 percent is required between the background material of the mailpiece and the barcode. This requirement is generally satisfied by using black or dark blue ink on a white background. Other color combinations should be measured to ensure compliance with the minimum print contrast ratio.

Note: Effective September 15, 1991, the Postal Service intends to require a Print Reflectance Difference (PRD) of at least 30 percent rather than a Print Contrast Ratio of at least 30 percent. The Print Reflectance Difference equals the reflectance of the background minus the reflectance of the ink, multiplied by 100. In the interim, mail meeting either minimum standard will be acceptable.

551.43 Opacity. Envelope material, insert material as viewed through a window, or the outermost sheet of a mailpiece, as applicable, must have sufficient opacity to prevent printing from "showing through" to the extent that it interferes with postal equipment that reads the barcode. The print contrast ratio of print (other than the barcode) that shows through the barcode clear zone or the bar-

code area in the address block, must not exceed 15 percent when measured in the red and green spectra.

551.44 Dark Fibers and Background Patterns. The material in the address block or the barcode clear zone on which the barcode appears ( envelope, card, insert material, or outermost sheet) must not contain dark fibers or background patterns (e.g., checks, etc.) that produce a print contrast ratio of more than 15 percent when measured in the red and green spectra. If material on which the barcode will appear is printed in a "halftone screen," it must not contain fewer· than 200 lines per inch (dot size) or be printed with more than a 20 percent screen.

• • • • • 551.7 Additional Requirements for Barcodes on

Inserts That Appear Through Windows

• • • • • 551.72 Barcode Window Specifications

• • • • • 551.723 Window Cover Material. (Revise the last

sentence to read:) As viewed through the window material, the barcode must meet the minimum reflectance requirements in 551.4.

551.73 ZIP + 4 and Delivery Point Barcode Location Requirements

• • • • • 551.732 Clear Space-Window Envelopes and

Labels. A clear space of at least Vs inch must be left between the barcode and the top, left, and right edges of the window or label edges. (As required by. 551. 722, there is no bottom edge to the window.) This clear space must remain even when the insert showing through the window is moved to any of its limits within the envelope.

552 Five-Digit Barcode Requirements

• • • • • 552.3 Five-Digit Barcode Location

552.31 Five-Digit Barcodes Printed Diredly on Mailpieces. The 5-digit barcode printed directly on a mailpiece must be located on the mailpiece as required by 551.2. For barcodes located within the barcode clear zone, however, the left-most bar of the barcode must be located between 3 % inches and 4 inches from the right edge of the mailpiece (see Exhibit 552.31). Effective January 1, 1992, the left-most bar must be located between 4Vs and 4% inches from the right edge of the mailpiece when printed in the barcode clear zone. (See 551.23.)

Note: If the delivery point is either a 5-digit ZIP Code or a ZIP + 4 Code, the mailer may, at his option, encode a longer ZIP-Code field for the barcode .-Marketing and Customer Seroice Group, 5-2-91

Defective Express Mail Labels An alarmingly high number of Express Mail ship

ments have been detected in the mail stream without their labels attached. This is due to insufficient adhesive on the existing supply of Express Mail B labels (Series FBOOOOOOO 11 US through FB600000005US, dated April 90). The printing contractor is replacing the deficient labels, and new labels are available through the materiel distribution centers. When offices receive the new supply, they must destroy the deficient labels. Effective immediately through May 15, all postal employees accepting Express Mail must secure the Express Mail label with tape to every Express Mail piece.

Additionally, the Postal Service has established a temporary dead mail operation for Express Mail and Priority Mail in Indianapolis to process Express Mail shipments with missing address labels. The temporary dead mail operation will operate through May 15 for the sole purpose of determining addresses for delivering Express Mail shipments with missing address labels and any dead Priority Mail in accordance with Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) sections 159.47, 159.324, 159.5, and 291.2 and Handbook DM-105, Dead Letter Branch Operations.

The establishment of the temporary dead letter office in Indianapolis should minimize as many delays or losses of Express Mail items as possible and expedite those articles whose labels have come off in shipment. The new labels should prevent this problem in the future.

READING THE ZIP+ 4 BARCODE The ZIP+4 barcode consists of the nine digits plus a correction character used by the barcode reader to identify reading errors.

The barcode consists of 52 bars as illustrated. Each of the 10 digits contained between the frame bars consists of 2 long bars (read as 1 's) and 3 short bars (read as O's).

Reading and understanding the barcode is simple. There are 10 combinations of 5 bars, each consisting of 2 long (1's) and 3 short (O's) bars. The digits O through 9 have been assigned to these combinations:

0=11000 1=00011 2=00101 3=00110 4=01001 5=01010 6=01100 7=10001 8=10010 9=10100 Within the group of 5 bars. each position has a different value: from left to right 7, 4, 2, 1, and o. Addition of the values in the

two positions occupied by 1 bars gives the value of the combination, except in the case of 11000 which totals 11 and has been assigned as zero.

In addition to the ZIP+ 4 code, each barcode contains a correction digit. This digit appears in the last position of the barcode. Its purpose is to ensure that the machine applying the barcode is working properly. The sum of the 10 digits in the barcode (the 9-digit ZIP+4 code plus the correction digit) must always be a multiple of 10. The value of the correction digit is therefore determined by adding the numbers in the 9-digit ZIP+4 code, and then determining what single-digit number must be added to that sum to make the total a multiple of 10 (end with a zero). In the Example, the sum of the nine digits of the ZIP+ 4 code is 45. Using a correction character of 5 makes the sum of all 10 characters 50, a multiple of 10. If the sum of the digits is not a multiple of 10, an error has been made and the barcode must not be used.
