The Postal Service will issue a 37-cent Ohio Statehood commemorative stamp (Item 453900) in a pressure- sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 on March 1, 2003, in Chillicothe, Ohio. The stamp, designed by Phil Jordan, Falls Church, Virginia, and photographed by Ian Adams, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, goes on sale nationwide March 2, 2003.
Comprising land ceded to the United States after the Revolutionary War, the Northwest Territory included present-day Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. In 1787 Congress enacted a plan to organize and govern this large area. The following year its first permanent settlement was established in Marietta, Ohio. On February 19, 1803, President Thomas Jefferson approved Ohio's constitution, and in March 1803, Ohio became the first state carved from the territory and the 17th admitted to the Union. Due to a legislative oversight, Ohio's constitution was formally ratified by Congress 150 years later on August 7, 1953.

As a community service, the Postal Service offers pictorial cancellations to commemorate local events celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of events for which pictorial cancellations are authorized appears below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial cancellation appears in italics under the date. Also provided, as space permits, are illustrations of those cancellations that were reproducible and available at press time.
People attending these local events may obtain the cancellation in person at the temporary Post Office station established there. Those who cannot attend the event, but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit a mail order request. Pictorial cancellations are available only for the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial cancellation date.
All requests must include a stamped envelope or postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail® postage. Items submitted for cancellation may not include postage issued after the date of the requested cancellation. Such items will be returned unserviced.
Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others,insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: PICTORIAL CANCELLATIONS, followed by the NAME OF THE STATION,ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP + 4 CODE, exactly as listed below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except the hyphen in the ZIP + 4 code).
Customers can also send stamped envelopes and postcards without addresses for cancellation, as long as they supply a larger envelope with adequate postage and their return address. After applying the pictorial cancellation, the Postal Service returns the items (with or without addresses) under addressed protective cover.
The following cancellation has been extended for 30 days.

National Supply Management Programs would like to announce the deployment of the new Excess Item Catalog on eBuy. The primary purpose of this catalog is to promote the redistribution of excess assets, which will defer the cost of buying them new. To comply with U.S. Postal Service policy, all eBuy users should use excess as their first source of supply when requirements occur.
The catalog is available to 38,000 eBuy users and district material management specialists (DMMS) who can list and use excess assets as needed. All items listed in this catalog are free; however, transportation costs may be incurred.
DMMSs will play a key role by coordinating the listing and redistributing of all district excess assets. In order to have the skills necessary to effectively manage local excess, all DMMSs are required to take the online Web-based training course (specific to Postal Service excess items) through eBuy. Access the Web-based training as follows:
1. From Internet Explorer (V.50 or higher), go to the blue page at http://blue.usps.qov and type "ebuy" in the address line and then hit the Return key. (The direct URL is http://ebuy.usps/jsp/co/Login.jsp; note that this URL is case sensitive.)
2. At the top of the eBuy logon page, click Training.
3. When the "Welcome to eBuy Training" page becomes available, click USPS Excess Items Course.
4. Once you have completed the course, you are encouraged to begin listing excess equipment into the system.
Course participants may obtain VOE credit after completing the course. For more information, please contact Richard Quintero, Windsor Material Service Center, at 860-285-7332.

The Postal Service has an ongoing strategic partnership with Ricoh Corp. The following copiers are now available from the mandatory Ricoh contract for use in Centralized Forwarding System (CFS) units:
• Aficio 1085 - appropriate for up to 149,999 copies a month at a cost of $18,706
• Aficio 1105 - appropriate for 150,000 or more copies a month at a cost of $22,993
The recommended copiers are rated to process either the 90-pound or 110-pound index card stock. The 90-pound index card stock may be stored in any drawer or the large capacity tray in either copier. The 110-pound index card stock may be stored in drawers 4 or 5, or the large capacity tray in the Aficio 1085; or any drawer or large capacity tray in the Aficio 1105.
All requests for the CFS copiers must be first approved at the district and area levels and then by the Capital Review Committee at Finance in Headquarters. For more information on the Committee, you can visit their Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/finance/capital/capital.htm. Please note that employees who have Web access must use eBuy for all requisitions in lieu of a hardcopy PS Form 7381, Requisition for Supplies, Services, or Equipment. The eBuy Web site can be accessed at http://ebuy.usps.gov. To obtain an eBuy log-on, go to the eBuy Web site, click Support and then click Account Request and complete PS Form 1357, Request for Computer Access.
Detailed ordering instructions can be found in Material Logistics Bulletin No. MLB-CO-01-001 found on the Office Products and Utilities CMC Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/material/pmsc/windsor/ricoh.htm. Go to the site and click More Links and then click Material Logistics Bulletins. If you do not have access to a computer, you can obtain the material logistics bulletin by calling Topeka Operations and Materials Customer Service at 800-332-0317; select the option for "Operations and Materials Customer Service."
If you require a slitter, the Martin Yale Model 3800 FC forms cutter is the external, stand-alone slitter that you should use with these Ricoh copiers. Because the slitter is less than $3,000, each CFS unit is to use its IMPAC Visa expense credit card to purchase its slitter. Each slitter is to be purchased from Office Zone by calling Shawn Hammond at 800-543-5454, extension 143, or Adam Cheney, extension 134. State that you are using the primary Postal Service customer number that is assigned to contract 1AOSEQ-03-P-2242 (number US7342) when placing an order. The cost for the slitter will be $2,432.00 plus shipping costs, which will vary depending on the distance the slitter is shipped.
If you have any questions regarding this process, please call Joseph Joaquim III at 860-285-7342 or Lillian Perkins at 860-285-7081.

522 Personal Property Accounting System
522.1 Description
[Replace the words "St. Louis, Missouri" with "San Mateo, California" as follows:]
PPAS is an automated system used by the accounting service center (ASC) at San Mateo, California. It is designed to record capital personal property transactions and maintain a national inventory of capital personal property. The system tracks each item of capital personal property through the acquisition, use, and disposal stages. The PPAS inventory record is related to the finance number of the installation to which the property is assigned. It can provide accountability information within the finance number. A primary function of the PPAS is to calculate, allocate, and record depreciation expense against the finance number of the holding organization. See Handbook F-26, Personal Property Accounting, for a more complete description of PPAS.

55 Filing System
* * * * *
554 Pending Verification (Capital File)
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
This file is used to retain documentation pertaining to items that have been received, transferred, or deleted, but are awaiting processing at the San Mateo ASC. When the APCL reflecting this transaction is received from the San Mateo ASC, remove the appropriate document or documents, attach to the APCL, and file in the Verified Capital Property File.

562.3 External Transfers
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Written requests for external relocation or transfer (containing the capital IOD number and the name and title of the requestor) are submitted to the installation head/MAO for forwarding to the DMMS. The DMMS will electronically transfer form 7340 through the San Mateo Personnel Property Accounting System (PPAS) (function 3), thereby transferring accountability, from the shipper finance number to the consignee finance number (see exhibit 552.1c and refer to PPAS Field User Guide, pages 2 and 3).
Note: Shipping office will maintain electronic copy of Form 7340 along with Forms 961-A in the pending verification [capital] file awaiting processing at the San Mateo ASC (see 554).
* * * * *
565 Disposal
565.1 Normal Process
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Disposal of Postal Service capital property follows the normal disposal process described in chapter 6, Asset Recovery: Redistribution, Recycling, and Disposal. The key difference in the process for capital property is forwarding Form 969, Material Recycling and disposal, to the San Mateo ASC. Additionally, a copy of the Form 969 is sent by the MAO to the finance or accounting office, showing the undepreciated balance. Any undepreciated value on a disposal item is immediately charged to the installation's expense budget as soon as the San Mateo ASC processes the Form 969.
* * * * *
566 Depreciation
* * * * *
566.4 Changes
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Depreciation is based on the cost of the equipment at acquisition and for any subsequent modification or upgrade to the equipment. When modifications or upgrades occur, San Mateo ASC will process an APCL showing the modification or upgrade cost.
566.5 Tracking and Managing Depreciation
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
***The figures for the undepreciated value of current equipment are available through the San Mateo ASC and those planned acquisitions through the Capital Budget process. Unanticipated changes such as unplanned disposals or inventory losses will affect the budget. ***

[Revise the title of 57 by replacing "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
57 San Mateo ASC Documents
571 General
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
San Mateo ASC provides three tools on a routine basis to assist in the verification of the PPAS records with the field records. PPAS is the Postal Service master file that maintains accountability of capital property to a finance number. The verification tools from the San Mateo ASC are the accounting period change list (APCL), the Form 961-A, Post Office Property Record (see Exhibit 571), the annual capital property listing (ACPL), and the ID label. Through the use of these tools, the organization maintains accuracy between San Mateo ASC and local records, and avoids the costs in time and money necessary to correct errors during the physical inventory.
* * * * *
573 Form 961-A, Post Office Property Record
573.1 Use for Capital Property
[Replace words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo," and replace the term "six-digit" with "seven-digit" as follows:]
Form 961-A is a two-sided card issued to a facility by the San Mateo ASC. A single card is issued with the APCL for each new item of capital property entering the Postal Service. That card tracks the equipment from the date of acquisition through the date the equipment leaves the Postal Service, staying with the equipment if it moves from facility to facility. The card shows a unique seven-digit ID number that matches the bar-coded label affixed to the equipment. Space is provided for serial number, make/model, equipment location, repair, and maintenance data. If one ID number is issued for an entire system, list the components of the system in this space.
573.2 Use for Capital Modifications
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Forms 961-A are also issued by the San Mateo ASC for certain equipment modification expenditures. ***
573.3 Retention
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Form 961-A is the primary document for the accountability of capital property.
The accountable facility must retain this card as long as the capital property is under its accountability. When the equipment is transferred or disposed of, the following steps must be followed:
Step 1 Transferred. Shipping office will maintain electronic copy of Form 7340 along with Form 961-A (and any Forms 961-A for modification costs) in the Pending Verification (Capital) file awaiting processing at the San Mateo ASC. ***
* * * * *
Step 2 Disposed of. Form 961-A (and any Forms 961-A for modification costs) must be returned to the San Mateo ASC along with the Form 969. The ASC will then verify and destroy the old form.
573.4 Additions from Reclassifications and Physical Inventories
When the documentation is processed by San Mateo ASC, an ID number will be assigned and an ID label will be forwarded with the APCL.
573.5 900000 Series ID Numbers for Installation Costs
Interim ID numbers in the 900000 series are issued for site preparation costs incurred in installing capital fixed and nonfixed mechanization as well as automated data processing equipment. No label is issued.

573.6 Verifying and Affixing ID Labels
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Each ID label received must be checked against the APCL with which it was mailed to verify that the ID numbers match. Notify the San Mateo ASC of any discrepancy.***

574 ID Labels
* * * * *
574.2 Issuance for New Capital Property
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
San Mateo ASC assigns an ID number to an item when it first enters the PPAS.***
574.3 Issuance for Other-Than-New Capital Property
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
If replacement of the label is necessary due to damage, misuse, or loss, submit a written request to the San Mateo ASC with an explanation. The San Mateo ASC will assign a new ID number, ID label, and Form 961-A.
574.4 Additions from Reclassification and Physical Inventories
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
When the documentation is processed by San Mateo ASC, an ID number will be assigned and an ID label and Form 961-A will be forwarded with the APCL.

[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
***Once the capital property is installed and accepted and the ID number for the equipment is received, annotate and return the APCL to San Mateo ASC requesting that all costs be rolled into the record pertaining to ID number assigned to original equipment.
574.6 Verifying and Affixing ID Labels
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Each ID label received must be checked against the Form 961-A and the APCL with which it was mailed to verify that the ID numbers match. Notify the San Mateo ASC of any discrepancy. ***
575 APCL Procedures
575.1 General
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
For each accounting period in which San Mateo ASC posts any changes to an installation's records, the ASC will issue an APCL showing the deletions, additions and adjustments made to the property records in PPAS. *** Discrepancies that have not been resolved should be noted on both copies, with one copy returned to the San Mateo ASC.
575.2 Verification of Entries
* * * * *
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Step 3 Annotate on the APCL what information was found during the research and/or what action is being taken to correct the transaction. Forward supporting documentation for changes or corrections with the APCL to the San Mateo ASC.

576 ACPL Procedures
576.1 General
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Once a year, the San Mateo ASC issues the annual capital property listing. It is in two parts, the first in PCN sequence and the second in ID number sequence. It provides generic and extended equipment descriptions.
576.2 Verification Procedures
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Verify the ACPL with subcustody records and resolve any discrepancies. All information on the ACPL should be identical to the local records and that shown on the Forms 961-A, Post Office Property Record. Research and resolve so that both the San Mateo ASC and the property records are the same. *** This information must be provided to the finance or accounting office prior to processing the Form 2880 (see exhibit 576.2). All Forms 2880 must be signed by the installation head prior to submission to the San Mateo ASC.
Note: The August 1994 version of Form 2880 is the only version accepted for processing by the San Mateo ASC.***
* * * * *

* * * * *
[Replace the words "St. Louis" with "San Mateo" as follows:]
Step 8 Review and approval - Upon completion of the physical inventory process, including research, a Form 2880 (see exhibit 576.2) will be completed. Physical inventory results, as noted on the Form 2880, will be reviewed by the appropriate functional manager or MAA who signed the subcustody record, and the installation head. A copy is provided to the finance office. Form 2880 without changes will be forwarded directly to the San Mateo ASC. Completed Forms 2880 with changes and any supporting documents are forwarded to the DMMS for review and other necessary documentation.
