Employees (Continued)
NOTICE
National Manpower Contract
Employee Resource Management has extended the
National Manpower (Temporary Services Personnel) contract for a 3-year period, ending April 2007. Corporate Personnel Management (CPM) manages the contract. This
contract allows for easier transitions for management of
temporary personnel and freezes pricing for a longer period, giving managers the ability to accurately forecast their
temporary services costs for budgeting purposes.
During this extension, reviewing managers can use the
Manpower Direct Time system to approve or reject time
slips submitted by temporary personnel assigned to their
office.
Per customer request, we have added three new positions to the contract - general office helper, rural route
counter, and data entry II-team lead - and we will consider
more as the need arises. We have encouraged customers
to continue considering other positions and contact CPM
for assistance (see contact information below).
The eBuy catalog for Manpower is available. We require
a 30-day notice (before the start date), but we recommend
a 60-day notice on all requests for temporary services personnel to cover both Manpower's recruiting and the Inspection Service's security clearance processes.
The eBuy catalog is a mandatory source for all temporary agency employees. Do not solicit or use other sources,
unless approved by the CPM manager and the contracting
officer. (You can still hire casual employees as employees
using PS Form 50, Notification of Personnel Action.)
For further information, questions, or assistance on the
National Manpower contract, please contact the following:

Check Acceptance Policy
This article clarifies the article "Handbook F-1 Revision:
Check Acceptance Policy" published in Postal Bulletin
22139 (10-14-04, pages 21-24). Effective November 1,
2004, the requirement of photo-bearing identification does
not apply to checks received by mail for payment of Post
Office BoxTM and caller services, trust account deposits, or
Stamps by Mail®. However, the acceptance employee must
record the customer's Post Office Box and caller services
numbers or trust account permit numbers for payment of
these services, and mark "by mail" on the face of the
checks.
We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed
edition of Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures, and into the next update of the online version accessible on the Postal ServiceTM PolicyNet Web site:

International Mail
IMM AND PUBLICATION 51 REVISION
Requirements for Properly Addressing International Mail
Due to heightened security, many foreign postal administrations require complete sender and addressee information in roman letters and arabic numerals on postal items.
Without this information, mailed items are subject to return.
Consequently, effective October 28, 2004, International
Mail Manual (IMM) 122.2 and 431 and Publication 51, International Postal Rates and Fees, are revised to reflect this
requirement. In addition, in the IMM, the Individual Country
Listing for Canada is revised to reflect Canada's requirements pursuant to the Canada Customs Act.
We will incorporate these revisions into the printed version of IMM 31 and into the next printed version of Publication 51, and also into the online versions of the IMM and
Publication 51, both of which can be accessed via Postal
Explorer® at http://pe.usps.gov.

122.2 Return Address
[Revise the paragraph by adding a new first sentence so
that the paragraph in its entirety reads as follows (the first
sentence is highlighted here merely for emphasis):]
Due to heightened security, many foreign postal administrations require complete sender and addressee
information in roman letters and arabic numerals on
postal items. The complete address of the sender, including ZIP Code and country of origin, should be shown in the
upper left corner of the address side of the envelope, package, or card. Only one return address may be used. It must
be located so that it does not affect either the clarity of the
address of destination or the application of service labels
and notations (postmarks, etc.). Unregistered items
bearing a return address in another country are accepted
only at the sender's risk. In the case of bulk mailings, the
return address must be in the country of mailing. For the
purpose of this section, a "bulk mailing" is 200 or more
pieces mailed at the same time by the sender.

As a community service, the Postal ServiceTM offers

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

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®

Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix
stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice,

without addresses) under addressed protective cover.

First Attempt and Final Delivery Scans on Delivery Confirmation Service, Signature
Confirmation Service, Express Mail Service, Special Services Mail, and

This is a reminder concerning left notice and returned
items that are not receiving a delivered scan as required by
Handbook PO-610, Signature Capture and Electronic Record Management: Manager's Guide to Standard Operating Procedures. We have continually stressed that one of
the event codes must be used on the first attempt to stop
the clock. However, it is just as important that when a mailpiece is scanned as either "attempted", "forwarded", "arrival
at unit", or "missent" that the customer is able to determine
the final disposition of the mailpiece.
For both the sender and the addressee it is equally important that when the mail is finally disposited, the pieces
are scanned appropriately. In all cases, the last scan on
any mailpiece requiring confirmation scanning should be
the "delivered" event. This is true whether the mailpiece is
delivered to the addressee or returned to the sender. Otherwise, there is no record of delivery and we, along with our
mailing or shipping customers, can be held liable for
nondelivery. Logically, the two likeliest places that this problem may occur are at the retail service center when delivering hold mail and when redelivering mail at the request of
the addressee. Therefore, please remind delivery employees and retail associates of this requirement for a delivery event scan and post this reminder for these employees
at the hold mail section in your unit.
Delivery employees and retail associates
are required to follow the procedures outlined in Handbook PO-610 when using
either handheld scanners or POS ONE terminals/scanners to record delivery event
information. The list of scanning events for handheld scanners is found in Exhibit
2-6a, and the scanner events for POS ONE are located in Exhibit 2-6b (see pages
37-38).
