AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Las Cruces, NM CSMPC to El Paso, TX P&DC

August 19, 2011

A functional review of the Las Cruces Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring all mail processing operations from the Las Cruces, NM Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) for ZIP Code 880 to the El Paso, TX Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $1,324,359, with one-time costs not to exceed $139,960, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by January 2012.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of mail processing operations provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
