NOTICE

2007 Year Type for Hand Stamps and Canceling Machines

The Material Distribution Center (MDC) will automatically deliver the 2007 year type for hand stamps and canceling machines to all Postal Service™ facilities that received 2006 year types for hand stamps and canceling machines. On October 10, 2006, the MDC will notify each Postal Service facility that received 2006 year types by sending out a postcard.

If your facility needs a different quantity or a different 2007 year type, you can make changes on the preaddressed postcard and drop it in the mail.

Note: If no changes are needed, do not mail the postcard. You will be sent the same quantities as last year.

If your facility has not received the MDC notification postcard by November 1, 2006, and will need 2007 year type, you must contact Customer Service at 800-332-0317 no later than November 8, 2006. Please be ready to give the customer service representative the PSIN for the item needed, the quantity you need, and the FEDSTRIP number for the ordering facility.

The MDC will ship the 2007 year type no later than December 15, 2006. Allow 6 to 8 days for delivery. If you have not received your 2007 year type by December 22, 2006, contact Customer Service at 800-332-0317. Any orders submitted for year type before October 16, 2006, will be processed for the 2006 year type. After this date, the 2006 year type will not be available and orders will be cancelled unless you call Customer Service at 800-332-0317 and request the 2006 year type. No orders for 2007 year type will be accepted until after the annual distribution of the 2007 year type has been made.

You can determine the proper year type for canceling machines by checking the model number on the machine nameplate. Use SPEC, Supplies Parts and Equipment Catalog (formally Publication 112) and Publication 247, Supply and Equipment Catalog, exhibit 15, as a guide for ordering the correct type and for complete descriptions.

If your facility is a plant maintenance facility that received the 2006 year type, you will automatically receive the 2007 year type for Mark II Facer-Cancellers, 7490-04-000-2007. This year type is also used on the MRC small canceling machine (models 3601 and 3602). Only plant maintenance facilities may order this year type. All Advanced Facer Canceller System (AFCS) machines have been upgraded with the "Ink Jet Cancellation" and no longer require year type. Return the postcard and reduce the quantity ordered accordingly. Plant maintenance facilities are responsible for supplying this year type to all offices they service.
