DMM Revision: Reassignment of ZIP Codes 856 and 857 From Denver BMC (NDC) to Phoenix ASF

Effective November 29, 2009, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser­vice, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) exhibits for destina­tion bulk mail center (DBMC) Price Eligibility for Standard Mail®, Parcel Select®\u201A and Bound Printed Matter items.

Due to changes in mail processing operations as reflected in revisions to labeling lists on October 5, 2009, and reflected in Postal Bulletin 22269 (10-8-09, pages 31–35), mailers preparing DBMC (destination network distribu­tion center (DNDC)) mailings must prepare mail for 3-digit ZIP™ Codes 856 and 857 in containers for Phoenix AZ and enter that mail at the Phoenix AZ auxiliary service facility (ASF) rather than at the Denver CO BMC/NDC facility as soon as practicable, but no later than December 17, 2009.

We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed version of the DMM and into the online DMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
