Effective September 14, 2015, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) section 207.16.0 to clarify the standards when there are multiple editions of a Periodicals publication.
Although this clarification will not be published in the DMM until September 14, 2015, this revision is effective immediately.

16.2 Filing Marked Copy
[Revise the first sentence and add a new second sentence to 16.2 to read as follows:]
The publisher must file a copy (marked by the publisher) of each issue, so the advertising content may be verified with the Postmaster of either the original entry office or an additional entry office. If there is more than one edition for an issue, the publisher must submit the main or most prominent edition of the issue and must have all other editions available for review upon request by the USPS.***

We will incorporate this revision into the next online update of the DMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
