Effective May 14, 2007, sections 1-3, 1-4.1, 1-4.4, 1-5, 2-2.3, 4-3.3, 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, Appendixes B, D, E, F, and Table 10 of Appendix G of Publication 205, Electronic Verification System Technical Guide, are revised to reflect mailing requirements resulting from the R2006-1 rate case that affect the Electronic Verification System (eVS) for manifesting parcel mail.
Revisions to Appendices E and F and revisions to Table 10 in Appendix G are included in this article.
- Appendix E, Piece-Pound Parcel Rate Computations, provides information and examples to help mailers make the required bulk-weight calculations for Standard Mail® parcels weighing more than 3.3 ounces and Presorted Bound Printed Matter parcels.
- Appendix F, Applicable Rates for Destination Entry Mailings, provides tables to show the rates available for destination entry facilities.
- Revised Table 10, eVS Valid Rate Ingredient Combinations, in Appendix G, Service Type Codes and Rate Ingredient Tables, shows the use of the UCC/EAN 128 Code barcode (coded as 1 in Detail Record 1 position 199) or POSTNET barcode (coded as 2 in Detail Record 1 position 199) for the postal routing barcode (destination 5-digit ZIP Code™ of the parcel). The postal routing barcode is one of the six required rate ingredients in eVS to define a specific mail class and rate. Priority Mail® parcels do not require a parcel routing barcode and were therefore defaulted to 0 to indicate no barcode. Several eVS mailers, however, have requested codes to show whether the Priority Mail parcels have been barcoded in order to apply that information to their internal operations. Priority Mail and First-Class® Mail will not be available to eVS mailers on May 14, 2007. Tentative field testing of these two parcel subclasses is scheduled for July 1, 2007.
We expect to post revised Appendix B, eVS Application, and Appendix D, Sample eVS Manifest Mailing Agreement, as well as a fully revised edition of Publication 205 by May 14, 2007. In addition, we revised the title of Publication 205 to Electronic Verification System Business and Technical Guide, and we will add a subject index to facilitate referencing material within the publication.
Revisions to Appendix A, eVS Electronic File Layout, and Appendix G, Service Type Codes and Rate Ingredient Tables, were previously published in Postal Bulletin 22201 (March 1, 2007) and are also effective May 14, 2007.
The Postal Service™ is suspending the original mandate to require eVS by August 1, 2007, for all permit imprint Parcel Select® mailings, as well as all commingled permit imprint parcel mailings containing Parcel Select under sections 705.6.0 or 705.7.0 of the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®). The announcement of the original mandate was first published on July 10, 2006, in the Federal Register (71 FR 38966-38978).
The Postal Service is delaying the required use of eVS because of the large number of format and coding changes required by the R2006-1 rate case, which must be implemented on May 14, 2007, and because of the addition of several new subclasses of mail that will become available under eVS.
Current eVS mailers — mailers already authorized and using eVS — will be required to meet all new rate and classification changes on May 14, 2007. These mailers have already developed the fundamental requirements and processes for eVS and only have to revise some file formats and rate coding as well as update appropriate rate tables used for calculating the correct postage rates. Other aspects of eVS remain the same.
Mailers who are currently not authorized eVS mailers, but who plan to participate in the eVS program after the rate case have requested additional time to meet these new requirements and to create the electronic infrastructure necessary to support and test eVS with its greater complexity. These mailers do not have experience with eVS requirements and processes and are already changing their systems for the traditional forms of manifesting to comply with the new rates and classifications. To convert to eVS at the same time would create unnecessary burdens for these non-eVS mailers and adversely affect their mailing operations.
As a result, the Postal Service is re-evaluating a suitable date for new mailer implementation of eVS. Once the Postal Service determines an appropriate date, we will publish the new date in the Federal Register and the Postal Bulletin.
Mailers interested in eVS can obtain further information about the program from the following sources:

[Revise the title of 1.3 to read as follows:]
1-3 eVS Participation
[Revise 1-3 by adding sections 1-3.1 through 1-3.4 to read as follows]
1-3.1 Preliminary Steps
To participate in eVS, the mailer must first have or establish the following accounts and pay the proper fees in order for the Postal Service to create the necessary mailer profiles in several systems for sending and receiving files:
a. Permit Account Number. Have or establish a single permit account number for eVS at the administering district business mail entry unit closest to the mailer’s corporate office. The Post Office™ where the business mail entry unit is located is generally considered the Post Office of Account for the eVS mailer. The eVS permit account number is to be used exclusively for eVS mailings and must be unique to the eVS program. The PostalOne! Help Desk will coordinate the assignment of permit account numbers. No other permit number may be used for eVS mailings. Both the permit account number and the corresponding 5–digit ZIP Code™ of the issuing Post Office (termed the “Post Office of Account”) are used in all eVS transmission files.
b. Postage Payment Account. Have or establish a PostalOne! postage payment debit account. This account is to be used for the withdrawal of funds from postage statements generated by the eVS database from the electronic manifests transmitted by the eVS mailer. The permit account number and the postage payment account are linked in eVS to handle the withdrawal of funds.
c. Annual Mailing Fees. Pay all applicable presort or destination entry mailing fees as required by the DMM at the administering district business mail entry unit. The annual mailing fees are paid only at the Post Office of Account. Payment of annual mailing fees is not required under eVS at each Post Office serving a destination entry postal facility where eVS mail is deposited.
d. Mailer Identification Number. Have or obtain a DUNS© number from Dun and Bradstreet or a unique Business Entity ID (BEI) from the Postal Service. This mailer identification number must be registered with the Postal Service and must be used to identify all electronic manifests transmitted by the mailer for eVS mailings. The mailer may use the same identification number in the Package Identification Code (PIC) or different identification numbers in the PIC if these additional numbers are also registered with the Postal Service. The identification numbers in the PICs used on parcels prepared under eVS may be used only for eVS mailings.
1-3.2 Application and Computer Access Forms
After obtaining or establishing the necessary accounts and paying any applicable fees, the mailer must do the following:
a. Application. Complete and submit the eVS application (see Appendix B).
b. Computer Access. Complete and submit PS Form 1357-C, Customer Request for Web Access (see Appendix C). This request is used to establish a logon ID and password needed to view the mailer’s own eVS account. A separate form must be submitted for each company representative requiring access to the mailer’s eVS account.
c. File Transfer. Complete and submit PS Form 1357-S, Request for Computer Access, to set up the file transfer mechanism with the Postal Service. The form is available in Publication 91, Confirmation Services Technical Guide. PS Form 1357-S is not required if the mailer plans to use Electronic Data Interchange.
1-3.3 Certification Processes and Quality Control
After completing the application, the mailer must do the following:
a. Software. Develop or obtain computer software that meets eVS electronic file specifications for manifesting parcels and the barcode specifications for producing accurate and scannable barcodes used on the parcel mailing labels.
b. File and Label Certification. Complete the Confirmation Services Certification process as detailed in Publication 91, to have electronic files and barcode labels certified by the Postal Service. If the mailer has been previously certified to transmit Confirmation Services manifests and generate barcoded labels, minimal changes will be required to meet the eVS file and label specifications.
c. Quality Assurance. Develop and administer effective quality assurance procedures to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the mailer’s mail production, postage payment, mail classification, and file transmissions as described in Chapter 5.
1-3.4 Mailing Test and Agreement
After meeting all requirements to participate in eVS, the mailer must do the following to receive approval by the Postal Service to manifest parcel mail using eVS:
a. Mailing Test. Complete a test during which eVS manifest files are transmitted and mailings are made to determine the accuracy of the mailer’s system. In most cases, mailings are to be presented under both existing plant-verified drop shipment and eVS procedures as described in Chapter 7.
b. Mailing Agreement. Enter into an eVS Manifest Mailing Agreement with the Postal Service (see Appendix D).
1-4 Required and Optional Use of eVS
1-4.1 Required Use
[Revise 1-4.1 to read as follows:]
All parcel mailers and shippers entering permit imprint Parcel Select mailings at Postal Service destination facilities will be required to use eVS for postage manifesting and payment of those mailings at a date to be announced by the Postal Service in the Federal Register and the Postal Bulletin. The original mandate of required use by August 1, 2007, has been suspended and a new date will be established.
All parcel mailers and shippers authorized under DMM 705 to commingle Standard Mail® machinable parcels or other Package Services parcels (Bound Printed Matter, Library Mail, or Media Mail®) with Parcel Select mailings will be required to use eVS for postage manifesting and payment for all mailpieces in the mailing at a date to be announced by the Postal Service in the Federal Register and the Postal Bulletin.
* * * * *
1-4.4 Postage Computation
[Revise 1-4.4 to read as follows:]
Postage must be computed according to the applicable standards in the DMM, including DMM 604.7.0 for computing postage. The elements used in eVS for the computation of postage are as follows and detailed in Appendixes A and E:
a. Postage Amount. In eVS, the determinants of the postage amount shown in Detail Record 1 record position 038–044 in the manifest file (see Appendix A) are class of mail, rate indicator, destination rate indicator (if applicable), zone (if applicable), processing category (if applicable), weight of parcel, and size of parcel. Each of these determinants — other than size of parcel except for Priority Mail dimensional-weight pricing — is recorded in a separate field in Detail Record 1.
How the postage amount is reported in the Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 and how the actual total postage amount is calculated by eVS for generating postage statements is not identical:
(1) Postage Amount in Manifest Record. The recorded postage amount in Detail Record 1 positions 038-044 is a single amount that does not include the addition of surcharges, nonincidental enclosure postage, and Extra Services, and the record postage amount does not include the subtraction of discounts.
(2) Total Postage Amount for Postage Statement. For the total postage amount for the Postal Service generation of postage statements, eVS adds up the postage amount plus any surcharges and nonincidental enclosure amounts minus any discounts reported in the corresponding Detail Record 1 positions (see Appendix A).
(3) Extra Services for Postage Statement. Total Extra Service fees are calculated separately and reported separately from the postage amount for the generation of postage statements. Detail Record 1 can accommodate up to three Extra Services for each parcel record (see Appendix A).
b. Surcharges. Surcharges such as the nonbarcoded parcel surcharge are not included in the calculation of the postage amount in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044. Surcharges are coded in Detail Record 1 positions 161–162 and the amount is reported in Detail Record 1 positions 163–169. Table 8 in Appendix G contains the surcharge codes.
c. Discounts. Discounts such as the parcel barcoded discount are not included in the calculation of the postage amount in Detail Record 1 record positions 038–044. Discounts are coded in Detail Record 1 positions 161–162 and the amount is reported in Detail Record 1 positions 163–169. Table 8 in Appendix G contains the discount codes.
d. Balloon Rate and Oversized Rate. The balloon rate for Parcel Post, Parcel Select, and Priority Mail and the oversized rate for Parcel Post and Parcel Select are not surcharges but dimensional rates. These rates, which are for parcels exceeding certain dimensions, are calculated as follows:
(1) Balloon Rate. Priority Mail, Parcel Post, and Parcel Select parcels weighing less than 20 pounds and measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth, but no more than 108 inches in combined length and girth are charged the appropriate 20-pound rate. The 20-pound rate is used for the postage amount in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044, but the actual weight of the piece must be shown in the electronic manifest file in Detail Record 1 positions 046–054. The appropriate rate indicator code in Detail Record 1 positions 057–058 must be used to represent the balloon rate. Parcels weighing 20 pounds or more are not subject to the balloon rate. The balloon rate conditions vary by subclass of mail:
(a) Priority Mail. For Priority Mail, the balloon rate applies only to those parcels under 20 pounds subject to the balloon rate and destined for local and zones 1 through 4. Priority Mail parcels destined for zones 5 through 8 are not subject to the balloon rate, regardless of parcel weight and size.
(b) Parcel Post. For intra-BMC and inter-BMC Parcel Post, the balloon rate applies to any parcel subject to the balloon rate destined for local and zones 1 through 8.
(c) Parcel Select. For Parcel Select, the balloon rate applies to any parcel subject to the balloon rate regardless of zone, including Parcel Select rates without zones: destination sectional center facility (DSCF) rates and destination delivery unit (DDU) rates.
(2) Oversized Rate. Parcel Post and Parcel Select parcels up to 70 pounds measuring more than 108 inches and up to 130 inches in combined length and girth are charged the applicable oversized rate. The oversized rate is used for the postage amount, but the actual weight of the parcel must be shown in the electronic manifest file. The appropriate rate indicator code in Detail Record 1 positions 057–058 must be used to represent the oversized rate.
e. Priority Mail Dimensional-Weight Pricing. Priority Mail parcels exceeding 1 cubic foot (1,728 cubic inches) for zones 5 through 8 are subject to dimensional-weight pricing, based on actual weight or dimensional weight, whichever is greater. Priority Mail parcels not exceeding 1 cubic foot for zones 5 through 8 are not subject to dimensional-weight pricing. For Priority Mail parcels subject to dimensional-weight pricing, the appropriate rate indicator must be used in Detail Record 1 positions 057–058. Detail Record 1 also contains four fields in record positions 101 through 121 to accommodate length, width, height, and dimensional weight, rounded up to a whole pound.
The following Steps 1 and 2 provide calculations to determine whether a Priority Mail parcel is subject to dimensional-weight pricing and, if it is, how the dimensional weight is calculated:
Step 1. Rounded off length is multiplied by rounded off width then multiplied by rounded off height to arrive at total cubic inches.
Step 2. If the result is 1,728 cubic inches or less, actual weight (the physical weight of the parcel) is used to calculate postage. If the result exceeds 1,728 cubic inches, the parcel shape is used to determine dimensional weight, which is then compared with the actual weight. If the parcel is rectangular, the result is divided by 194 and rounded up to the next whole number. If the parcel is nonrectanglar, the result is first multiplied by an adjustment factor of 0.785. If the result exceeds 1,728 cubic inches, that result is divided by 194 and rounded up to the next whole number.
Note: Round Up. Round up requires increasing by 1 the whole number if any decimal position four places to the right of the whole number is greater than 0:
Example 1: 3.0000 rounded up is 3.0000 (the whole number remains unchanged).
Example 2: 3.0001 rounded up is 4.0000 (the whole number increases by 1).
f. Pound Weight. All parcel weights are expressed in decimal pounds rounded off to four decimal places. For computing eVS parcel weights, each parcel is weighed individually and not in bulk, regardless of the class of mail.
Note: Round Off. Round off requires increasing by 1 the last digit to be kept if the digit to its right, which is not kept, is 5 or greater. If that digit is 4 or less, the last digit kept is unchanged:
Example 1: 3.37662 rounded off to four decimal positions is 3.3766.
Example 2: 3.37665 rounded off to four decimal positions is 3.3767.
g. Single-Piece-Rate Weight Calculation. Single-piece rate weights are grouped as follows:
(1) Rates for First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, Parcel Post, Parcel Select, Media Mail, and Library Mail always use weight rounded up for single-piece rate calculation. For example, the Parcel Post rate is charged per pound or fraction thereof; any fraction of a pound is considered a whole pound. If an item weighs 4.0051 pounds, the weight (postage) increment is 5 pounds. For Parcel Post, Parcel Select, Media Mail, and Library Mail, the minimum postage rate per piece is the 1-pound rate. For Priority Mail not prepared in a flat-rate box or a flat-rate envelope, the minimum postage rate per piece is the 1-pound unzoned rate. For First-Class Mail, the minimum postage rate per piece is the 1–ounce (0.0625 pound) rate.
(2) Nonpresorted Bound Printed Matter uses weight rounded up for a single-piece rate calculation. The minimum postage rate per piece is the 1-pound rate.
(3) Regular and Nonprofit Standard Mail parcels weighing 3.3 ounces (0.2063 pound) or less use a single-piece rate that is the same regardless of the parcel weight up to and including 3.3 ounces. For example, a Standard Mail parcel weighing 2 ounces (0.125 pound) is charged the same amount as a Standard Mail parcel weighing 3.3 ounces (0.2603 pound).
h. Bulk-Rate-Weight Calculation. Rates for Standard Mail weighing more than 3.3 ounces (0.2063 pound) and all Presorted Bound Printed Matter require computing individual piece-pound rates for each parcel as described in the following paragraphs 1 and 2 and as shown in Appendix E:
(1) Standard Mail. Standard Mail parcels weighing more than 3.3 ounces (0.2063 pound) require multiplying the weight of each parcel by the applicable pound rate and then adding the result to the applicable piece rate to arrive at the postage amount of the individual parcel. The pound rate includes any applicable destination entry discount.
(2) Bound Printed Matter. Presorted Bound Printed Matter parcels require multiplying the weight of each parcel by the applicable zoned pound rate and then adding the result to the applicable piece rate to arrive at the postage amount of the individual parcel. The pound rate includes any applicable destination entry discount. Postage for a Bound Printed Matter parcel weighing 1 pound or less is calculated using the 1-pound rate added to the piece rate.
1-5 eVS Permit Imprint Indicia
[Revise 1.5 to read as follows:]
1-5.1 Requirement
Each parcel included in an eVS mailing must bear a permit imprint indicia following the standards in DMM 604.6.0 on use and format. The mailer has the option of using the following:
a. A company permit imprint indicia displaying the name or abbreviation of the company name, with or without a permit account number. This is the preferred style for eVS parcel mail.
b. A regular permit imprint indicia displaying the permit account number and city and state where the permit account is held, without the company name or abbreviation of the company name.
1-5.2 Company eVS Permit Imprint Indicia
The marking “eVS” (or the alternatives “EVS” or “e–VS”) must appear by itself as the last line in the company eVS permit imprint indicia. As an option, “Permit No.” followed by the mailer’s exclusive eVS permit account number may be included as part of the company eVS permit imprint if placed on the line below the company name or abbreviation of the company name and above the line containing the marking “eVS.” City and state never appear in a company eVS permit imprint indicia.
1-5.3 Regular eVS Permit Imprint Indicia
The marking “eVS” (or the alternatives “EVS” or “e–VS”) must appear by itself as the last line in the regular eVS permit imprint indicia, below the city and state line.

[Revise 2-2.3 to read as follows:]
Notice of electronic file transmission acceptance or rejection is displayed in the Product Tracking System (PTS) Confirmation Error/Warning Report. A PTS Confirmation Error/Warning Report is generated by PTS for each transmitted manifest and forwarded to eVS and the mailer. The first successfully transmitted header record in the PTS Confirmation Error/Warning Report is used to represent the manifest transaction in eVS.
Publication 91, Confirmation Services Technical Guide, contains more information about the file transmission process and is available in both Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Portable Document Format (PDF) at the following address:

[Revise the title of 4-3.3 to read as follows:]
4-3.3 Mis-shipped DDU Parcels
[Revise 4-3.3 to read as follows:]
If parcels claiming a DDU rate are dropped at an incorrect DDU entry location, the Postal Service is required to transport them to the correct destination. As a consequence, the mailer is charged the difference between the manifested postage and the applicable single-piece rate for the mis-shipped DDU parcels.
Postage for mis-shipped Confirmation Services parcels deposited at an incorrect DDU entry location is tracked and made available to the mailer via the “DDU Confirmation Services Mis-shipped Report” in eVS. The mailer’s PostalOne! postage payment account is debited on the 21st day of the following month for the additional mis-shipped postage accumulated during the previous month. Mis-shipped DDU parcels are not included in the postage adjustment factor described in section 4-3.1.
Mis-shipped destination bulk mail center (DBMC) and DSCF parcels are not charged as mis-shipped parcels. Instead, the difference in postage between the postage reported in the manifest record and the postage calculated for any sample of these mis-shipped parcels becomes part of the postage adjustment factor for sampled parcels.

Appendix E Piece-Pound Parcel Rate Computations
Standard Mail
To record piece-pound postage amount in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044, compute as follows:
Note: Postage amount reported in record positions 038–044 excludes:
Machinable BMC Rate with DBMC Destination Entry Discount
0.5652 pound x $0.580 pound rate ($0.739 pound rate minus $0.159 DBMC discount) = $0.3278 + $0.716 piece rate = $1.0438 individual parcel rate, rounded off to $1.044. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0001044.
Machinable 5-Digit or 5-Digit Scheme Rate with DSCF Destination Entry Discount
At least 10 pounds of parcels to the same 5-digit or 5-digit scheme location required.
0.5652 pound x $0.536 ($0.739 pound rate minus $0.203 DSCF discount) pound rate = $0.3029 +$0.346 piece rate = $0.6489 individual parcel rate, round off to $0.649. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0000649.
Machinable 5-Digit or 5-Digit Scheme Rate with DDU Destination Entry Discount
Standard Mail parcels entered at DDUs are eligible at any volume.
0.5652 lb. x $0.491 ($0.739 pound rate minus $0.248 DDU discount) = $0.2775 + $0.346 piece rate = $0.6235 individual parcel rate, rounded off to $0.624. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0000624.
Bound Printed Matter (Presort)
To record piece-pound postage amount in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044, compute as follows:
Note: Postage amount reported in record positions 038–044 excludes:
Machinable Presorted DBMC Destination Entry Zone 3 Rate
2.0222 pounds X $0.124 pound rate = $0.2508 + $1.13 piece rate = $1.3808 individual parcel rate, rounded to $1.381. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0001381.
Machinable Presorted DSCF Destination Entry Rate
At least 10 pieces or 20 pounds of parcels to the same 5-digit or 5-digit scheme location required.
2.0222 pounds x $0.083 pound rate = $0.1678 + $0.747 piece rate = $0.9148 individual parcel rate, rounded to $0.915. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0000915.
Machinable Presorted DDU Destination Entry Rate
Bound Printed Matter parcels entered at DDUs are eligible at any volume.
2.0222 pounds x $0.040 pound rate = $0.0809 + $0.663 piece rate = $0.7439 individual parcel rate, rounded to $0.744. Report in Detail Record 1 positions 038–044 as 0000744.
