In-County Rates Eligibility Worksheet

This worksheet helps you determine whether or not issues of your publication are eligible for the lower In-County rates. In-County rates are based on the paid distribution of the publication. Requester publications are not entitled to In-County rates.

Note: In-County rate eligibility is determined on an issue-to-issue basis and remains subject to your total paid distribution. Changes in paid circulation can affect In-County rate eligibility. Make copies of this worksheet and use it regularly to determine whether your publication remains eligible for In-County rates.

Worksheet for In-County Rate Eligibility

Answer each question to determine if your publication is eligible for the In-County rates.

2. Is your total paid circulation less than 10,000 copies per issue?

Yes

No

If you answered "Yes," all subscriber copies entered and addressed for delivery in the same county as the Post Office of original entry are entitled to the In-County rates. If you answered "No," go to question 3.

3. If your paid circulation is 10,000 or more copies per issue, is more than half of the total paid circulation distributed within the same county as the Post Office of original entry?
