Effective June 6, 2011, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 604.5.2.2 to specify that one of the conditions that a permit imprint may be revoked, among others, is for failure to mail using the permit or pay the fees for a 2-year consecutive period.
