The Department of the Interior will formally issue the stamp at the National Postal Museum in Washington, DC, on June 29, 2001. The Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp will be issued in two formats - the traditional gummed pane of 20 stamps, and a self-adhesive single stamp. The stamp size in the self-adhesive version is the same size as the gummed version and can be peeled from its carrier sheet. The carrier sheet is the size of U.S. paper currency and fits easily in cash drawers. Postmasters should order enough of Item Number 333100 and 333200 to meet the expected appreciable demand for this item by stamp collectors, conservationists, and hunters. DistributionPost Offices. To allow postmasters to order the 2001-2002 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp in quantities approximating customer demand, the minimum ordering quantity for both formats is five stamps. However, when practical, postmasters should order full panes of 20 stamps for the gummed version. Postmasters should review their records to determine the appropriate number of the 2001-2002 stamps to requisition, rounded up to multiples of 5 or 20 stamps. Postmasters must immediately send a separate PS Form 17, Stamp Requisition, to their stamp distribution offices (SDOs) for enough Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps (traditional gummed format, Item Number 333100, and/or self-adhesive format, Item Number 333200) to last until February 28, 2002. If the initial supply is exhausted before February 28, 2002, postmasters must requisition an additional supply. Retail units with authorized philatelic centers should order both formats and have them available to meet philatelic demand. All postmasters/station managers must ensure that Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps are available to meet public demand. SDOs. SDOs will receive automatic distributions of both Item Number 333100 and Item Number 333200 in quantities equivalent to their postmaster requisition records for the 2000-2001 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps. Automatic distributions to SDOs are scheduled to begin May 25, 2001, and complete June 11, 2001. SDOs requiring additional gummed stamps (Item Number 333100) or additional self-adhesive stamps (Item Number 333200) in bulk quantities should requisition them from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing using PS Form 3356, Stamp Requisition - Bulk Quantities. Item Number 333100 (gummed stamps) must be ordered in increments of 2,000, 4,000, 6,000, 8,000, 16,000, 24,000, and 32,000 stamps, or in master cartons of 48,000. Item Number 333200 (self-adhesive stamps) must be ordered in increments of 200, 300, 400, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 stamps, or in master cartons of 8,400. SDOs requiring fewer than 2,000 gummed or 200 self- adhesive stamps must send PS Form 17 to their accountable paper depository. Hunting Regulations PamphletsThe Department of the Interior does not automatically distribute pamphlets on hunting regulations because migratory game bird laws vary by state. Direct inquiries about hunting regulations to the state fish and wildlife agency or state department of natural resources. Do not forward to the federal U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

NEW AND REVISED PUBLICATIONS
A new Handbook AS-554-B, Water Conservation Guide, and revised Handbook AS-554, Water Reference Guide, are now available on the Postal Service Intranet at http://blue.usps.gov/environmental.
Persons responsible for or interested in either of these guides, such as vice presidents of Area Operations, facility and site managers, and environmental professionals, can access and/or print both handbooks from the online copy.
Handbook AS-554 soon will be available from the MDC. Ordering information for Handbook AS-554 will be published in a future Postal Bulletin.
Handbook AS-554-B, Water Conservation Guide, provides guidance to site managers to define, implement, and monitor a cost-effective water conservation program. It presents an overview of water conservation as an element of the Postal Service water management program. It discusses issues that need to be considered when establishing a district water conservation plan and provides suggestions to help formulate guidance for water conservation plans.
Handbook AS-554, Water Reference Guide, is a reference tool for water-related issues in Postal Service facilities. It provides an overview of the Postal Service water management program and water-related information by topic. Each topical discussion includes references to laws, regulations, policies, and standards, as applicable; common practices; preventive measures; emergency preparedness and response; monitoring and recordkeeping requirements; and review and corrective actions that apply to the topic. Suggested references and Internet Web sites are also provided for review and research.
- Environmental Management Policy,Engineering, 5-31-01
NOTICE
All users of mail transport equipment (MTE) are requested to promptly identify "red tags" and isolate damaged or defective wheeled containers used to transport mail. Damaged rolling stock must be removed from service and placed in a holding area for return to the servicing mail transport equipment service center (MTESC).
Although all MTE items passing through the MTESCs are scanned for obvious defects, use of the orange PS Form 4707, "Out of Order" tag, will ensure that broken rolling stock is identified and scheduled for repair. Please help the MTESC network keep your rolling stock serviceable by tagging all defective containers.
- Mail Transport Equipment,Network Operations Management, 5-31-01
NOTICE
Mail processing centers and facilities must immediately stop disposing excess or broken office and workroom furniture and equipment and trash, and instead must ship it to the mail transport equipment processing centers (MTESCs) in excess containers or cardboard boxes. Incidents of this type have increased sharply during 2001. This practice creates environmental health and safety problems at the receiving MTESCs, which must spend unbudgeted funds to dispose of the refuse through waste management contractors.
Future shipments of this type will be returned to the originating offices, which will be billed for the additional shipping and handling expenses.
Refer to Handbook AS-701, Material Management, for instructions on disposing of unneeded or broken equipment.
