DMM Revision: Reassignment of ZIP Codes Between Memphis NDC and Dallas NDC

Effective September 6, 2011, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser­vice, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 246.3, 346.3, 366.4, 446.3, 453.3, and 466.4 to incorporate the following mail processing changes: Mailers preparing destination net­work distribution center (DNDC) mailings must change their mail preparation for mail addressed to 3-digit ZIP Code™ 706 destinations by labeling those containers to Memphis NDC, and enter that mail at the Memphis NDC facility rather than at the Dallas NDC facility. Mailers with DNDC mailings must also change their preparation for mail for 3-digit ZIP Codes 713 and 714 by labeling those containers to the Dal­las NDC rather than the Memphis NDC. We also removed the unassigned ZIP Code prefix 771 from the eligibility exhibits.

Make these mail preparation changes as soon as prac­tical, but no later than August 20, 2011.
