DMM Revision: Mail Entry and Payment Technology Organization Structural Changes

Effective January 26, 2020, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) in several sections to reflect the new Mail Entry and Payment Technology (MEPT) organization structure.

On August 31, 2019, the Postal Service announced changes within its MEPT structure. The changes are designed to better serve the organization and its commercial customers. As a result of the structural changes, the Postal Service is updating applicable DMM sections with new MEPT department and position titles. The Postal Service is also revising section 608.8.0, “USPS Contact Information,” with new MEPT office address information.

Title-related revisions include replacing:

n “Manager, Business Mailer Support,” with “director, Business Acceptance Solutions.”

n “Manager of Payment Technology” with “director, Commercial Payment.”

n “Business Manager Acceptance” with “director, Commercial Acceptance.”

Department-related revisions primarily include replacing “Business Mailer Support” with “Business Acceptance Solutions.”

In addition, the Postal Service will update applicable sections of the Quick Service Guides and Customer Support Rulings to reflect the MEPT organizational structural changes.

The Postal Service will incorporate these revisions into the January 26, 2020, edition of the online DMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at pe.usps.com. Although the Postal Service will not publish these revisions in the DMM until January 26, 2020, the standards are effective immediately.
