“The mail works!” Potter delivers keynoteaddress at National Postal Forum

The forecast for thePostal Service and themailing industry is verygood. That’s the mes-sage Postmaster Gener-al Jack Potter deliveredto more than 6,500 mail-ers and advertisers at the

National Postal Forum in Orlando, FL. It’s a forecast basedon a transformed Postal Service that will see a growth indirect mail as well as advances in technology that will trackPostal Service performance and reduce costs.

Potter noted that mail volume last year reached a record212 billion pieces. Marketers have found that using themail, along with the Internet, has resulted in significantlylarger orders than if they had relied on Internet advertisingalone. “The public and the marketplace have spokenloudly,” he said. “The mail works.”

Potter also discussed the Postal Service’s high levels ofcustomer satisfaction, elimination of $11 billion in debt andproductivity increases six years in a row.

“We have enormous challenges,” Potter said. “But wehave the ideas to grow this business. I know that we can bemore successful than ever.”

E-mail scam targets Thrift Savings Planparticipants

Scam artists are at it again — phishing for your personalinformation — and this time they’re pretending to be fromthe Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). The TSP has posted a warn-ing about this latest phishing attempt on its Web site:

You should never give any personal, credit or bankinginformation in response to unsolicited e-mails. The TSPwould never ask for this information via an e-mail. If you didprovide this information, contact your credit card companyand bank immediately for guidance. In addition, call theTSP at 877-968-3778 and ask to have your account accessblocked.

If you receive the bogus TSP e-mail, do not try toaccess the TSP Web site by clicking on links in that orany other e-mail. They’re trying to steal your personal in-formation. Always access your TSP account only by

opening a new browser window, and typinghttp://www.tsp.gov into the address (URL) field.

The TSP is actively investigating this scam.

Mantle’s restaurant in Manhattan. Joining him were formerNew York Yankees Public Relations Director Marty Appeland restaurant manager Bart Alexander.

Delivering a data-packed barcode

The Postal Service has loaded a barcode with informa-tion that mailers can use to help build their business, cuttheir costs, better manage customer relationships and staycompetitive.

Working with mailing industry partners, USPS has des-ignated an innovative new barcode called the 4-state bar-code to lead the effort. This new barcode looks a littledifferent from the sorting barcode most of us are familiarwith. Because it’s made up of four distinct, vertical bartypes, it can carry more information than any previous post-al barcode.

It performs multiple functions — using only one line ofcode. Up to now, separate barcodes were needed for sort-ing, tracking, service and customer information.

For more information, go to http://ribbs.usps.gov/files/4%2DCB/INTRODUCING_4-CB.PDF.

Domestic Mail

DMM REVISION

Reassignment of ZIP Code Range 880 for DBMC Mailings and Intra-BMC Parcel PostBeginning July 6, 2006, mailers must prepare destina-

tion bulk mail center (DBMC) mailings for 3-digit ZIPCode� 880 in containers for Dallas, Texas, and enter thatmail at the Dallas bulk mail center (BMC) instead of theAlbuquerque, New Mexico, auxiliary service facility (ASF).This change is due to changes in mail processing opera-tions as shown in the labeling list revisions on pages 15–21of this Postal Bulletin.

We will revise the DBMC Rate Eligibility exhibits forStandard Mail�, Parcel Post�, and Bound Printed Matteritems in the Mailing Standards of the United States PostalService, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM�) to reflect thischange.

Also effective July 6, 2006, we will change the BMC/ASFexhibits for Parcel Post mailed at intra-BMC rates to reflectZIP Code range 880 as served by the Dallas BMC.

— Mailing Standards,Pricing and Classification, 4-13-06

DMM REVISION

Parcel Return ServiceEffective April 2, 2006, Parcel Return Service (PRS) is a

permanent mail classification in section 507.11.0 of theMailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,Domestic Mail Manual (DMM�). We ended the experimen-tal Parcel Return Service offering at midnight on April 1,2006, and implemented the permanent classification andfees.

PRS allows authorized permit holders or their agents topick up parcels returned by consumers at return bulk mailcenters and return delivery units across the country. AllPostal Service� customers can now use PRS, providedthey meet all of the requirements in the new DMM 507.11.

There are two major changes in the permanent PRSclassification as compared with the experimental serviceoffering. We are not offering Bound Printed Matter (BPM)Return Service as part of the permanent set of rates forPRS, because there was no reported BPM volume duringthe experiment. Only Parcel Select Return Service is

available. And, at the request of PRS mailers, we now offerCertificate of Mailing as an extra service for PRS parcels. Amailer returning a parcel using PRS can bring it to a localPost Office� facility and purchase a Certificate of Mailingas proof that the parcel was mailed.

We chose to retain the name “Parcel Select ReturnService” for labeling, rating, and data collection purposes.This continuity will allow mailers to use their existing labelstock; no label redesign is necessary.

11.4 Label Formats

11.4.1 Label Preparation

PRS labels must be certified by the USPS for use prior todistribution as defined in the service agreement. In addi-tion, permit holders must obtain USPS certification for bar-code symbologies. Any photographic, mechanical, orelectronic process or any combination of these processesmay be used to produce PRS labels. The background ofthe label may be any light color that allows the address,barcodes, and other required information to be easily distin-guished. If labels are electronically transmitted to custom-ers for their local printing, the permit holder must advisecustomers of these printing requirements as part of the in-structions in 11.4.3.

11.4.2 Labeling Methods

If all applicable contents and formats are approved (includ-ing instructions to the user), permit holders or their agentsmay distribute a PRS label by any of the following methods:

a. As an enclosure with merchandise when initiallyshipped as part of the original invoice accompanyingthe merchandise, or as a separate label preprinted bythe permit holder. If the reverse side of the label

Regardless of label distribution method, permit holders ortheir agents must always provide written instructions to theuser of the PRS label that, at a minimum, direct the user todo the following:

a. “If your name and address are not already printed inthe return address area, please print them neatly inthat area or attach a return address label there.”

b. “Attach the label provided by the merchant squarelyonto the largest side of the mailpiece, unless youneed to use another side to make the parcel morestable. Place the label at least 1 inch from the edge ofthe parcel, so that it does not fold over to anotherside. If you are using tape to attach the new label, donot put tape over any barcodes on the label, even ifthe tape is clear.”

c. “If you are reusing the original container to return themerchandise, use the label to cover your original de-livery address, barcodes, and any other postal infor-mation on the container. If it is not possible to coverall that information with the label, remove the old la-bels, mark them out completely with a permanentmarker, or cover them completely with blank labels orpaper that cannot be seen through. If that cannot bedone, or if the original container is no longer sound,please use a new box to return the merchandise andattach the return label to the new box.”

d. “Once repackaged and labeled, mail the parcel at apost office, deposit it in a collection box, or leave itwith your letter carrier.”

11.4.4 Label Format Elements

DMM REVISION

Combining Package Services ParcelsEffective April 13, 2006, we are revising 705.7.0 of the

Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,Domestic Mail Manual (DMM�) to allow mailers to combinedifferent subclasses of Package Services machinable par-cels for destination BMC entry and, where applicable, atdestination bulk mail center (BMC) rates. Currently, mailersdropshipping parcels to BMCs may commingle differentsubclasses of Package Services machinable parcels onlywhen they are combined with Standard Mail� machinableparcels. To provide consistency, we are adding a new sec-tion to authorize mailers to combine different subclasses ofPackage Services machinable parcels to destination BMCswithout the inclusion of Standard Mail machinable parcels.

At the same time, we are revising DMM 705.6.1 and 7.1 forclarity.
