ORDERING INFORMATION
The latest edition of the plain stamped envelope,
EP-10E, is dated October 1999. Follow these procedures
to ensure the timely receipt of plain stamped envelope orders. Current and new accountable paper custodians
should retain this document for reference and review it frequently. For complete information, refer to Handbook F-1,
Post Office Accounting Procedures, Section 423.43, Ordering Stamped Envelopes. The current edition of Handbook
F-1 is accessible on the Postal ServiceTM PolicyNet Web
site at http://blue.usps.gov; click on More References, then
HBKs.
All stamp distribution offices (SDOs) may submit requisitions to Stamp Fulfillment Services (SFS) for stamped envelopes. Plain stamped envelopes can be ordered once
every 4 weeks according to the requisition schedule shown
in Figure 1. Submit requests to SFS using PS Form 3205,
Requisition for Plain Stamped Envelopes, which is shown
in Figure 2. Submit all requisitions to arrive at least 7 days
before the due date indicated on the schedule in Figure 1.
Shipments are made in the second week following the
scheduled submission week. Please maintain an 8-week
inventory of stamped envelopes. Note: The submission
week for stamped envelopes is not the same as those for
stamps and stamped cards (see Handbook F1, 423.43-5).
Use a preaddressed EP-10E envelope, which is available from the Material Distribution Center (MDC), to submit
PS Form 3205 to SFS. Do not lend PS Forms 3205 to other
Post OfficesTM. These forms are preprinted with your finance number and office information. They are issued in
ascending numerical sequence in lots of 100 cards (see
Handbook F-1, 423.43-2). When your current supply of PS
Forms 3205 is depleted, order a new supply by submitting
PS Form 3206, Order for PS Form 3205, which is shown in
Figure 3.
Please note the packing requirements. To facilitate the
processing of your requisition, order only in the carton sizes
shown on PS Form 3205 (Figure 2), and/or the chart of carton sizes shown in Figure 4. You must circle a specific
packing size on PS Form 3205 or you will receive the
2,500-size carton for the #10 and #9 envelopes, and the
5,000-size carton for the #6-3/4 envelopes, for quantities in
those amounts or greater. When ordering full pallets of envelopes, refer to Figure 5 for the standard palletized quantities used to meet new Postal Service shipping and stacking
requirements.
You can order the EP-10E envelope, preaddressed to
SFS, by using the touch tone order entry (TTOE) as follows: Call 800-332-0317, option 2.
Note: You must be registered to use TTOE. To register,
call 800-332-0317, option 1, extension 2925, and follow
prompts to leave a message. (Wait 48 hours after registering before placing your first order.)
Use the following information to order the EP-10E
envelope:
PSIN: EP10E
PSN: 7530-01-364-7065
Unit of Measure: EA
Minimum Order Quantity: 10
Bulk Pack Quantity: 2,500
Quick Pick Number: N/A
Price: $0.0966
If you have not already done so, please order this new
envelope immediately, and destroy all previous issues of
EP-10E envelope. Using the new envelope will speed up
the delivery and processing of your requisition.
If you need stamped envelopes urgently to fulfill customer demand outside the normal requisitioning cycle, you may
submit an emergency requisition. Submit a memorandum
with the requisition listing the reason for the out-of-cycle order, the date the envelopes are required, the requisition
number, the quantity and item, the signature of the local
manager, and the SDO telephone number, city, state, and
ZIP CodeTM. If this information is not included on the memo,
the requisition will be processed as a normal requisition.
Processing orders out-of-cycle increases shipping and
handling cost, so please submit emergency requisitions
only if you are unable to get stock from your SDO or accountable paper depository.
Examine each shipping carton to make sure that all cartons are addressed to your office, that the seals are not broken, and that the cartons are not damaged. If there are any
signs of tampering, report to the inspector in charge immediately (Handbook F-1, 423.6-3).
Always enter the total value of the stock as noted on
PS Form 3309, Advice of Shipment/Stamp Invoice,
even if physical quantity is not the same. This amount
has been charged to your finance number as of the
date of shipment. If you enter a figure other than the total
from PS Form 3309, you will receive a statement of difference from the postal data center. Allow 3 weeks from date
of shipment before reporting full-carton nonreceipts to SFS.
If a Post Office ordered the incorrect item from an SDO,
contact that SDO for permission to return or exchange the
stock. If the contractor furnished an SDO the incorrect item,
contact SFS for information on how to receive an Advice of
Shipment for stock received (Treat-As-Filled) or how to return stock to SFS for replacement if it cannot be used.
To report nonreceipt of a carton or cartons, send a
memo to SFS. Do not use PS Form 8144, Stamp Discrepancy Report, to report nonreceipts of full cartons
or for incorrect items. After a reasonable time, if all efforts
fail to locate the missing carton(s), and the proper notifications have been made, Headquarters Stamp Acquisition
and Distribution will grant permission by adjudicating a
Claim for Loss for the missing carton(s). Prepare PS Form
2130, Claim for Loss, and follow the standard procedures
for submitting the claim.
If one or more boxes of 500 are missing in a sealed carton, report by telephone to Stamp Acquisition, Quality Assurance (202-268-5321). Follow up by reporting shortage
on PS Form 8144 to the address on the form. Include the
"PLAIN PACKED BY" numbers shown on the preprinted
panel on each inside box on the PS Form 8144 so that the
contractor can be appropriately notified.
Total all PS Forms 8144 at end of each month and file a
PS Form 2130 following the procedures outlined in Handbook F-1, 446.12.
If there are any signs of tampering and stock is missing
from a carton, report it to the inspector in charge immediately (see Handbook F-1, 423.6-3).
Handle stamped envelopes that are damaged according
to Handbook F-1, Part 452.
Report overages on PS Form 8144 immediately and
send a copy to the address on the form. Include on the PS
Form 8144 the "PLAIN PACKED BY" numbers shown on
the preprinted panel on each inside box so that the contractor can be appropriately notified.
Process the overage into your stock and maintain a
copy of PS Form 8144 for record and justification.
Defective stock is not saleable and must remain the
property of the Postal Service. It must be returned immediately to main stock and then to the SDO, if applicable. Follow the procedures for shortages as noted previously.
Report defective stock on PS Form 8144 immediately
and send a copy to the address on the form. Include the
"PLAIN PACKED BY" numbers shown on the preprinted
panel on each inside box on the PS Form 8144 so that the
contractor can be appropriately notified.
Full boxes of stamped envelopes may be sold to customers using the rates shown in the Domestic Mail Manual
P020, which results in making sales at a discount. Your office was charged the individual price when the envelopes
were shipped to you. Use PS Form 3220, Claim for
Stamped Envelope Discount, to account for all full boxes of
envelopes sold to customers at a discount (see Handbook
F-1, 426.82).

All stamp distribution offices (SDOs) submitting requisitions to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) for

(GPO) for stamped cards should refer to the 2004 requisition schedule appearing with this article.
When ordering postage stamps from the BEP, submit
PS Form 3356, Stamp Requisition - Bulk Quantities (note:
use PS Form 3356 to order only those postage stamps
manufactured by the BEP). When ordering stamped cards
from GPO, submit PS Form 3216, Requisition for Postal
Cards - Bulk Quantities.
Until further notice, do not mail your stamp or post
card requisitions to BEP or GPO, but follow the procedures as outlined below.
1. Complete PS Form 3356 (for stamps from BEP), or
PS Form 3216 (for cards from GPO).
2. Print clearly all required information.
3. Enter the appropriate item number (reminder: accountable paper depositories (APDs) are the primary
source of supply for stamp items not available for
bulk requisitioning from suppliers).
4. Enter the quantity requisitioned. (Do not exceed the
maximum quantity per requisition, or the order will be
edited down to that prescribed amount.)
5. Signatures are required. Requisitions must contain a
signature.
6. Photocopy the completed forms three to a sheet if
possible, but do not combine BEP and GPO requisitions on the same sheet. Please keep requisitions to
BEP and GPO separate.
7. Fax to Headquarters Stamp Distribution at
202-268-5978.
8. Retain the original PS Forms 3356 and 3216 at your
SDO or accounting office. Do not mail.
9. Before faxing, examine photocopies for clarity. Leave
a space of approximately one-half inch at the top of
the photocopy to allow for the fax transmission's informational header.
Requisitions to the BEP for postage stamps and to the
GPO for stamped cards must be faxed at least 1 week before the date assigned on the schedule. Shipments will begin approximately 7 to 10 days after that date. Strict
compliance with this schedule equalizes the workload and
maximizes transportation efficiency.
Requisitions to the BEP that are received after their assigned date are processed and shipped as time permits,
but no later than the next designated ordering cycle. Requisitions to the GPO that are received after their assigned
date are deferred until the next designated ordering cycle.
This schedule does not apply to orders for precanceled
stamps or to properly identified and documented emergency orders. Such orders are processed immediately upon receipt. Nevertheless, it takes 7 to 10 days from the date of
submission before the requisitioning office receives the
stock. Offices must identify emergency orders by faxing a
separate memorandum with the requisition. The memorandum must list the reason for out-of-schedule ordering, and
include the requisition number, item number, manager's
signature and city, state, and ZIP CodeTM. Unless such a
memorandum is received, the BEP and GPO will follow
normal processing procedures. Processing orders "out of
schedule" increases shipping and handling costs; consequently, this practice must be avoided when possible.
Complete instructions for ordering stock in bulk quantities may be found in the current edition of Handbook F-1,
Post Office Accounting Procedures, Section 423.4. The
current edition of Handbook F-1 is accessible on the Postal
ServiceTM PolicyNet Web site; go to http://blue.usps.gov;

UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT 04-A
"2004 Stamps and Postal Stationery" (Announcement
04-A, November 2003), which appears on page 7,
is intended to replace the quarterly announcement of the
same name, previously printed and sent to customers on
request through Stamp Fulfillment Services in Kansas City.
The announcement is a listing of stamps and postal
stationery items scheduled for issuance during calendar
year 2004. Post OfficesTM may wish to post this schedule
on their bulletin boards.
Customers may also be directed to access the
Postal Bulletin through the Postal ServiceTM Web site at
www.usps.com, then by clicking on All Products & Services; then Publications; then Postal Bulletin.
This announcement will be updated every 2 to 3 months,
as changes warrant.
Customers may purchase new stamps or postal stationery items at their Post Office, from the USA Philatelic catalog, by calling 800-STAMP-24, or online at www.usps.com
by clicking on Buy Stamps & Shop. Then they should
prepare their own covers by affixing new stamps to the
upper right corner of envelopes or postcards of their choice,
and address those envelopes, postcards, or postal stationery items to themselves or others. (Postage must equal
the current First-Class MailŽ rate.) For sturdiness, include a
card of postcard thickness in each cover (envelopes only)
submitted, and tuck in the flap. Place the cover in a larger
envelope addressed to: NAME OF ISSUE, POSTMASTER, CITY, STATE, and ZIP CODETM (followed by -9991).
Covers submitted for first day of issue cancellations may include additional uncancelled stamps only if the uncancelled
stamps were issued before the first day of issue of the new
stamps or postal stationery items. All orders must be postmarked on or before the deadline indicated in the "2004
Stamps and Postal Stationery" announcement that follows.

BUSINESS TRAVEL UPDATE
The U.S. Postal ServiceŽ has a mandatory national contract for travel services with Omega World Travel. In accordance with Handbook F-15, Travel and Relocation, Postal
ServiceTM employees must make airline reservations
through Omega World Travel when traveling on business.
In addition, the Postal Service participates in the General
Services Administration's (GSA) "City Pairs" program for
airline contracts. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has negotiated rates for over 4,000 routes with
U.S. airlines that are projected to save the federal government billions of dollars. Through the contracts, 14 airlines
will provide heavily discounted air fares to the government
for official travelers on several domestic and international
routes. You must comply with the requirements of this
program when making your business travel arrangements.
You can make airline reservations one of two ways:
• Calling an Omega World Travel call center for a
transaction fee of $17.00 (contact your local travel
coordinator for the Omega World Travel call-in center
for your area or district); or
• Using the online booking tool, Trip Manager for
Government, found at www.tripmanager.com/gt/default.html for a transaction fee of $8.50. Fifty percent of Postal Service business travelers currently
take advantage of this tool by booking flights online.
If you are not currently set up to use Trip Manager for
Government, please see the "Trip Manager for Government
Travel" brochure at http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/material/pmsc/denver/travel.htm; click on Traveler Quick Reference.
You can set up a logon ID and password by following the
steps listed under "Important Things to Remember" on
page 2 of the brochure.
Regardless of which method you use to make travel
plans, if you travel on Postal Service business you are encouraged to create a Trip Manager profile online. To book
online, you must use an individual credit card (e.g., Official
Government Travel VISA credit card). If you have a Corporate Travel Account (CTA) you must phone in your airline
reservation and fax PS Form 1013, Transportation and
Ticketing Authorization, to Omega World Travel.
A new online help desk for users of Trip Manager for
Government will be available December 1, 2003. You can
contact Omega World Travel's online help desk at
888-301-8467 for assistance with passwords, profiles,
member names or ID changes, and so on. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST. E-mail inquiries can be directed to uspshelpdesk@owt.net.

On October 31, 2003, the Memphis Material Service
Center joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) WasteWise Program in demonstrating its commitment to conserving natural resources and protecting the
environment.
EPA launched WasteWise in January 1994, as a voluntary partnership program designed to help organizations
implement practical methods for reducing municipal solid
waste. WasteWise, whose membership boasts more than
1,100 partners representing businesses, institutions, and
government agencies, focuses on three key elements of
waste reduction:
• Waste prevention
• Recycling
• Buying or manufacturing recycled content products
Organizations that join WasteWise agree to develop
goals in these areas, track results, and share accomplishments. To help implement waste reduction programs,
WasteWise provides partners with guidance for establishing goals and tips for monitoring progress. EPA commends
partners for their achievements through the presentation of
WasteWise awards and features in program articles and
publications.
Research conducted by EPA and other institutions
shows that conserving materials through waste prevention
and recycling saves energy and reduces pollution, including emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global
warming. In addition to the numerous environmental benefits waste prevention and recycling offer, waste reduction
improves operational efficiency and reduces waste management and purchasing costs.
For more information on the Memphis Material Service
Center's WasteWise efforts, contact Vince Clemmer at
901-747-7563.
