Missing Children Poster Display Instructions
Please display this poster prominently on bulletin boards in
retail lobbies of main Post Offices, classified stations, and branches.
Operators of contract postal units may display this poster at their option.
Companion posters, authorized for display on bulletin boards
maintained by employee organizations, appear periodically in The Postal
Record, a publication for members of the National Association of Letter
Carriers.
This poster is published in cooperation with the National Center
for Missing and Exploited Children, the United States Department of Justice, and
the National Association of Letter Carriers. Information appearing on this
poster is selected solely by NCMEC.
In addition to Postal Bulletin updates, NCMEC distributes
information via broadcast fax. Notification of newly reported missing children
is sent to designated district "Missing Children" coordinators at fax numbers
provided by district managers. Within 24 hours of receipt of a facsimile Missing
Children poster, district coordinators should distribute copies to all postal
facilities in their districts. Missing Children posters are to be displayed for
30 days in Post Office lobbies, workroom floor areas, and other postal
facilities, unless notification is received (from NCMEC) to remove a particular
poster sooner. The broadcast fax network is used to distribute posters and
information in only the most urgent cases of missing and exploited children.
This system supplements, but does not replace, the missing children information
in this Postal Bulletin.
Missing Children posters are available to the U.S. Postal Service
only as described above. If postal employees are contacted by individuals or
local agencies about displaying a sign or poster of a missing child in local
Post Offices, the individual or agency should be politely informed that the US
Postal Service displays only those posters provided by NCMEC, because it has
been designated by the US Department of Justice to be the national clearinghouse
and resource center for missing and exploited children. The individual or agency
should then be referred to NCMEC at 1-800-843-5678.
Effective immediately, Publication 223,

ASM REVISION
Effective July 11, 2002, Administrative
Support Manual (ASM) 13 is revised to add part 278, which includes sections
278.1, 278.11, 278.12, and 278.2. We added the new part to include guidelines
for ordering and deploying ArrowTM locks and modified Arrow locks. The
deployment of locks and proper security procedures help reduce the risk of mail
theft.
We will incorporate this revision into the
printed version of ASM 14 and into an incremental update of the online ASM 13,
which is accessible through the Postal Service PolicyNet page on the intranet at
http://blue.usps.gov/cpim; click on Manuals.
Administrative Support Manual (ASM)
* * * * *
2 Audits and Investigations
* * * * *
27 Security
* * * * *
[Add part 278, which includes sections
278.1, 278.11, 278.12, and 278.2, to read as follows:]
278 Mail Security During Collection and
Delivery
The use of appropriate equipment and
procedures helps to protect the mail from theft. The Postal Inspection Service
provides security guidelines to protect the mail from theft during the
collection and delivery of mail.
278.1 Use of Locks and Keys
278.11 Arrow Locks
The Postal Service uses ArrowTM locks to
secure collection and relay boxes, apartment panels, outdoor parcel lockers,
cluster box units (CBU), and neighborhood delivery and collection box units
(NDCBU). To order Arrow locks, submit PS Form 4983, Postal Key and Lock
Requisition, to the Mail Equipment Shop (MES). The MES works with the
Inspection Service to ensure that all requests to deploy lock combinations (also
referred to as lock series) are based on a need to minimize the risk of mail
theft.
278.12 Modified Arrow Locks
Modified Arrow locks (MALs) with high
security cylinders are available. These locks are for use in areas that sustain
or are subject to high incidents of mail attacks or losses. MALs are designed to
deter counterfeiting of keys.
To obtain approval to order and deploy these
locks, you must make a special request to the Inspection Service, Security
Group, and Headquarters Delivery Support. Due to the significant cost of
deploying these locks, in your request, you must explain the reason(s) for
requesting MALs. The Inspection Service and Delivery Support require postmasters
(or their designees) to submit a deployment plan that must address:
a. Possible use of multiple lock series for each ZIP Code.
b. Use of three-point locking bars for collection
boxes.
c. A system for key accountability for modified Arrow locks
keys. (Note: Regular Arrow locks, MALs, and the keys for those locks are
items for which you will be held accountable.)
d. A system to ensure that MALs on collection boxes and
delivery boxes (e.g., CBUs, NDCBUs, outdoor parcel lockers, and apartment
panels) are on different lock series in each five-digit ZIP Code. (Note:
The Inspection Service limits the number of collection boxes, CBUs, NDCBUs,
outdoor parcel lockers, and apartment panels that may be assigned to a MAL
series.)
278.2 Request for Waiver of Requirements in
This Part
A request to waive any requirement in this
part must include the reason(s) for the request. The Security Group and
Headquarters Delivery Support review each request and have authority to approve
or deny the request. To request a waiver, submit your request to the Inspection
Service, Security Group, at:

Service, 7-11-02
DMM REVISION
Effective July 11, 2002, Domestic Mail
Manual (DMM) P014, Refunds and Exchanges, is revised to clarify the refund
policy for unused postage evidencing system indicia on mailpieces or labels.
• Acceptable documentation to prove that the
person or entity submitting the refund request is the licensee for the system
includes a copy of the lease, rental agreement, or contract.
• When metered postage has been affixed to a
mailpiece, the customer must submit the entire envelope or wrapper on which the
meter stamp is printed or a label bearing a meter stamp is attached, with the
refund request.
• When customers submit loose indicia that
are not affixed to a mailpiece for refund, the indicia must not be stapled
together or attached to any paper or other medium.
• When a request for a refund is denied, the
manager of Postage Technology Management will process an appeal only if the
meter indicia contain a date and the original meter indicia are submitted with
the appeal, and the appeal is submitted within 30 days of the original decision.
The customer must process any appeal of a decision on metered postage lacking a
date through the postmaster to the rates and classification service center
(RCSC).
We deleted text that duplicated policies
stated in P014.2.5, Refunds for Metered Postage. We also clarified and amended
the procedures in P014.3.1, Unused Postage Value in Postage Evidencing Systems,
for handling postage meters and postage evidencing systems that are withdrawn
from service. The customer must process the return through their system
provider. When a system is damaged by fire, flood, or similar disaster system,
it may be missing and not available for return. In such cases, the licensee may
be required to provide a statement on the cause of the damage and to attest that
the lost postage has not been reimbursed by insurance, or otherwise, and that
the licensee will not seek such reimbursement. As additional clarification, we
added that the Postal Service will not refund the postage value remaining on a
postage meter or postage evidencing system when the system is withdrawn for
faulty operation caused by the customer.
We will incorporate these revisions into the
printed version of DMM 58 and into the monthly update of the online DMM
available via Postal Explorer at pe.usps.gov.

2.9 Ruling on Refund Request
[Revise 2.9 to read as
follows:]
Refund requests are decided based on the
specific type of postage or mailing:
a. Metered postage, except for PC Postage systems. The
postmaster at the licensing post office grants or denies requests for refunds
for metered postage under 2.5 and 3.2. For dated metered postage only, the
licensee may appeal a decision through the manager of Postage Technology
Management, USPS Headquarters (G043). The original meter indicia must be
submitted with the appeal. The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of the
original decision. The customer may appeal a decision on metered postage lacking
a date through the postmaster to the RCSC.
b. PC Postage systems. The system provider grants or denies
requests for refunds for indicia printed by PC Postage systems under 2.5 and
3.2, using established USPS criteria. For dated PC Postage indicia only, the
licensee may appeal a decision through the manager of Postage Technology
Management, USPS Headquarters. The original meter indicia must be submitted with
the appeal. The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of the original
decision. The customer may appeal a decision on indicia lacking a date through
the postmaster to the RCSC.

3.0 REFUND REQUEST FOR POSTAGE EVIDENCING
SYSTEMS AND METERED POSTAGE
3.1 Unused Postage Value in Postage
Evidencing Systems
[Revise 3.1 to read as
follows:]
The unused postage value remaining in a
postage evidencing system when withdrawn from service may be refunded, depending
upon the circumstance and the ability of the USPS to make a responsible
determination of the actual or approximate amount of the unused postage value.
If the postage evidencing system is withdrawn because of faulty operation, a
final postage adjustment or refund will be withheld pending the system
provider's report of the cause to the USPS and the USPS determination of whether
or not a refund is appropriate and, if so, the amount of the refund. No refund
is given for faulty operation caused by the licensee. When a postage evidencing
system that is damaged by fire, flood, or similar disaster is returned to the
provider, postage may be refunded or transferred when the registers are legible
and accurate, or the register values can be reconstructed by the provider based
on adequate supporting documentation. When the damaged system is not available
for return, postage may be refunded or transferred only if the provider can
accurately determine the remaining postage value based on adequate supporting
documentation. The licensee may be required to provide a statement on the cause
of the damage and to attest that there has not been reimbursement by insurance,
or otherwise, and that the licensee will not seek such reimbursement. Refunds
for unused postage value are granted as specified in P030.4.6, 5.7, 6.6, and 7.6
in accordance with the following procedures:
a. All postage evidencing systems except for PC Postage
systems. The postage evidencing system must be examined to verify the amount
before any remaining funds are cleared from the meter, and a refund or credit is
initiated for unused postage value or additional money is collected to pay for
postage value used, based on what is found. Licensees may also submit their own
transaction records, if any, or a system-generated register as supporting
documentation.
b. PC Postage systems. The licensee must notify the provider
to withdraw the system. To determine the remaining postage value on the PC
Postage system, the licensee generates a refund request indicium for transmittal
to the provider for verification. A refund can be issued only when the system's
postal security device (PSD) is in the provider's possession. The USPS refunds
the entire unused postage value remaining on the PSD for the user's system, but
the refund is issued through the licensee's provider.
3.2 Unused Postage Evidencing System Indicia
on Mailpieces or Labels
[Revise 3.2 to read as
follows:]
Unused postage evidencing system indicia are
considered for refund only if complete, legible, and valid. The refund request
must be submitted with the entire envelope or wrapper. Indicia printed on labels
or tapes not stuck to wrappers or envelopes must be submitted loose and must not
be stapled together or attached to any paper or other medium. If a part of the
indicia is printed on one envelope or card and the remaining part on one or more
others, they must be fastened together to show that they represent one indicium.
Refunds are allowable for indicia on metered reply envelopes only when it is
obvious that an incorrect amount of postage was printed on them. All refund
requests for unused postage evidencing system indicia must include proof that
the person or entity requesting the refund is the licensee for the postage
evidencing system that printed the indicia. Acceptable proof includes a copy of
the lease, rental agreement, or contract. Refund requests for all unused postage
evidencing system indicia, except for those printed by a PC Postage system, must
be submitted with PS Form 3533, Application and Voucher for Refund of Postage
and Fees.
3.3 Ineligible Metered Postage
Items
The following metered postage items are
ineligible for refunds:
* * * * *
[Add new item c. Reletter existing items
c and d as new items d and e, respectively:]
c. Loose indicia printed on labels or tape that have been
stapled together or attached to paper or other medium in any manner.

DMM REVISION
Effective July 11, 2002, Domestic Mail
Manual (DMM) S918.2.0 and S919.20 are revised to replace Exhibits 2.1a. The
changes are the listing of available mail classes on front of PS Forms 152 and
153. Existing label stock will be depleted.
We are also changing DMM S918.4.0 and
S918.5.0 to revise the title of PS Form 3152 to Confirmation Services
Certification and to add new language for the preparation and submission of
this form.
Mailers will no longer be required to submit
PS Form 3152 with each mailing presented at a business mail entry unit (BMEU) or
detached mail unit (DMU) for which they want either Delivery ConfirmationTM or
Signature ConfirmationTM services. PS Form 3152 must be presented with the first
Confirmation Services mailing presented by the mailer. The form must be retained
in the BMEU/DMU as authorization for the mailer to use electronic Confirmation
Services. The BMEU/DMU employee should note in the "Comments" section of the
PERMIT system that the mailer has been approved for electronic Confirmation
Services (the electronic confirmation services postage fees).
We will incorporate these revisions into the
printed version of DMM 58 and into the monthly update of the online DMM
available via Postal Explorer at pe.usps.gov.

NOTICE
The right to vote is among our most basic of
human rights. This year, absentee balloting materials will be sent through the
mail to certain eligible persons postage free and will enable them to vote when
absent from the place of their voting residence. Absentee balloting materials
consist of postcard applications, ballots, voting instructions, and
envelopes.
The free mailing privilege for certain
absentee balloting materials in Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) E080 is based
on postal statute 39 U.S.C. 3406. Absentee balloting materials require no
prepayment of postage when sent through the US mail to persons in one of the
following categories:
• Members of the US Armed Forces in active
service and their spouses and dependents.
• Members of the US Merchant Marine and
their spouses and dependents.
• US citizens residing outside the
territorial limits of the United States and the District of Columbia and their
spouses and dependents residing with or accompanying them.
• Among state and local election officials
(individually or in bulk).
Absentee balloting materials, requiring no
prepayment of postage, may be used for any general election of electors for
president and vice president, or of senators and representatives in Congress,
and other general, primary, and special federal elections.
The envelope used to send absentee balloting
materials and the envelope supplied for the return of ballots must meet the
requirements in DMM E080. In the upper right corner of the mailpiece, in a
rectangular box, the words "US Postage Paid, 39 USC 3406" must be printed. See
samples of absentee balloting materials on page 15.
(Use of flag logo is optional.)
During past elections, the Federal Voting
Assistance Program reported that some absentee balloting materials were
erroneously returned to local election offices for payment of postage. Postal
Service employees must be aware of the importance of absentee balloting
materials and ensure prompt processing and delivery of this mail.
