DMM REVISION

Periodicals Combined Mailing

Firm bundles of Periodicals publications are prepared and processed as one addressed mailpiece. Effective October 6, 2004, Domestic Mail Manual (DMMTM) M230.1.2 is revised to specify a firm bundle as a method of preparing multiple copies and/or multiple editions of Periodicals publications as one addressed mailpiece for purposes of preparing a combined mailing. This revision clarifies that firm bundles may consist of multiple publications and/or multiple editions of the same publication.

We will incorporate this revision into the printed version of DMM 59 and into the monthly update of the online DMM available via Postal Explorer at http://pe.usps.gov.

DMM REVISION

Realignment of ZIP Codes: Destination Entry and BMC Service Areas

Effective with the changes to Domestic Mail Manual (DMMTM) labeling lists on pages 1-3 of this Postal Bulletin, DMM exhibits E650.5.1, E711.2.2, and E751.1.3 are revised to reflect the shift of the ZIP CodeTM prefix "340" (used for military mail) from the BMC NEW JERSEY NJ service area to the BMC Jacksonville FL service area.

Mailers are encouraged to make the necessary changes to their mailing operations immediately, and must comply no later than November 28, 2004. Mailers with questions regarding this change should contact the Post OfficeTM where their mailings are accepted and verified. Postal ServiceTM employees with questions should contact their district manager of business mail entry.

We will incorporate these revisions into the printed version of DMM 59 and into the monthly update of the online DMM available via Postal Explorer at http://pe.usps.gov.

DMM REVISION

Periodicals Irregular Parcels

Effective October 6, 2004, Domestic Mail Manual (DMMTM) exhibit M032.1.3 is revised to eliminate the reference to "automation" in the heading for irregular parcels. In addition, M210.4.0 is revised to clarify that use of "NON BC" is for sacks containing flats, since irregular parcels are sorted and processed without regard to barcodes. There are no mailing standards for barcoding Periodicals irregular parcels; therefore, there is no need for barcoded or nonbarcoded distinctions for irregular parcels.

We will incorporate these revisions into the printed version of DMM 59 and into the monthly update of the online DMM available via Postal Explorer at http://pe.usps.gov.

NEW FORM

PS Form 3811-I, Instructions for Requesting Return Receipt (Electronic)

PS Form 3811-I is for use at integrated retail terminal (IRT) sites only. This form provides instructions for customers to follow after they purchase a return receipt (electronic). POS ONE sites do not require PS Form 3811-I because the instructions are printed on the customer's receipt.

You can order PS Form 3811-I from the Material Distribution Center (MDC) by using touch tone order entry (TTOE): Call 800-332-0317, option 2. However, IRT sites should not order PS Forms 3811-I at this time because two pads consisting of 250 sheets each will be sent directly to each IRT site over the next couple of weeks. Orders should only be placed at this time if the initial distribution of two pads per office is not enough to handle the demand.

Note: You must be registered to use TTOE. To register, call 800-332-0317, option 1, extension 2925, and follow the prompts to leave a message. (Wait 48 hours after registering before placing your first order.)
