In the article, “Handbook F-101 Revision: Clarification on Performing a Count Concurrently” in Postal Bulletin 22291 (8-12-10, page 20), a revision to part 13-4, Unit Reserve Stamp Stock Credit Count”, was erroneously worded.
The word “concurrently” means to count both stocks (retail stock and unit reserve stock) before any other transactions for the unit reserve take place. The correct text is provided below.
Handbook F-101, Field Accounting Procedures

13-4 Stamp Stock and Cash Credits

[Revise item a of 13-4 to read as follows:]
a. If the unit reserve stock custodian has a retail floor stock role (POS units only), the unit reserve stamp stock credit must be counted concurrently with the retail floor stock (before any unit reserve transactions take place).
We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed version of Handbook F-101 and into the next online update, available on the Postal Service™ PolicyNet website:
