1-3.5 Offset Rule

For purposes of equitable tender of bypass mail, each destination bush point is associated with a specific hub point. As required by 39 U.S.C. 5402(g)(2)(b), the Postal Service will deduct a carrier’s non-priority bypass mail poundage flown on direct mainline flights to bush points within Alaska from that carrier's allocation of the total poundage of non-priority bypass mail transported to the nearest appropriate Postal Service hub point in any month.
