Effective March 7, 2016, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), section 604.1.0, to reinstate the current postage stamp denominations table. During the DMM streamlining process, the table was removed and inserted into Notice 123, Price List, as information. Because the table only contains stamp values rather than prices, we are returning it to the DMM.
