DMM Revision: Reassignment of ZIP Codes Between NDCs and ASFs — Revision to Destination Entry Exhibits

Effective November 7, 2011, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) parts 246, 346, 366, 446, 453, and 466 to change the exhibits for destination network distribution center (DNDC) eligibility to reflect the reassign­ment of certain 3-digit ZIP Code™ ranges. These revisions for mail addressed to ZIP Code ranges for NDC Des Moines, Iowa, auxiliary service facility (ASF) Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and ASF Fargo, North Darokta, result from changes to labeling lists L601 and L602 announced in the October 6, 2011, Postal Bulletin. An additional change for 3-digit ZIP Code range 864 from ASF Phoenix, AZ 852 to NDC Los Angeles, CA 90901 is to correct a previous oversight; this change will be reflected in an upcoming revision to the label­ing lists.

We also correct an error related to reassignment of ZIP Codes between the Memphis, Tennessee, and Dallas, Texas, NDCs, that was part of a DMM revision effective September 6, 2011. That revision included ZIP Code ranges that overlap between the Dallas, Texas, NDC and the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, ASF. This revision correctly reinstates DNDC eligibility for mail destined for ASF Okla­homa City, Oklahoma, ZIP Code ranges to be only for mail dropshipped to that ASF.

We encourage mailers to make the related changes to their DNDC mailings immediately. DNDC mailings entered on and after January 28, 2012, must include this change.
