DMM Revision: New Flats Sequencing System (FSS) Sortation Level

Effective July 13, 2015, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) section 708.1.4 to add a new FSS sortation level. This revision is a result of the FSS DMM revisions announced in the May 14, 2015, Postal Bulletin, that were effective May 31, 2015. The abbreviation for the new FSS sortation level will be FSF.

Although this clarification will not be published in the DMM until July 13, 2015, this revision is effective immediately.
