DMM Revision: Package Intercept

Effective August 6, 2012, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM^®) 503.2.4.10 and 604.9.2 to align standards with the current USPS Package Inter­cept™ service options.

Prior DMM revisions have been introduced to imple­ment the first two phases of Package Intercept service. These revisions will update the DMM to include the most current Package Intercept options and remove obsolete standards.
