AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Campton KY CSMPC to Louisville KY P&DC

November 7, 2011

An Area Mail Processing (AMP) study was initiated to evaluate the mail processing operations from the Campton KY Customer Service Mail Processing Center (CSMPC) to the Louisville KY Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The initial results of the study support the business case for consolidation.  This study, currently in review at United States Postal Service Headquarters and its Area Office is subject to change.

A public meeting will be held to share the initial results of the study and allow members of the community to ask questions and provide feedback.  The public’s input will be considered prior to a final decision.  The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 22, 2011, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Wolfe County High School, 20 High School Road, Campton, KY.  Below are preliminary highlights from the study:

Business Case:
Proposed annual savings in the draft AMP feasibility study are approximately $258,462.  Below is a breakdown of this savings estimate:

Annual Mail Processing Employee Savings	 $18,126
Annual Maintenance Savings	 $35,754
Annual Transportation Savings  	 $204,582

Postal Employees:
Employee status would remain neutral.

Local Customer Considerations:
•	Local collection box pick-up times may change as a result of the AMP.
•	A local postmark will be available for stamped First-Class Mail.
•	Delivery times of mail to residences and businesses will not change as a result of the AMP.
•	The proposed consolidation would support a 2 to 3 day service standard for First-Class Mail.

Commercial Mailers:
•	Mailers who presort mail will continue to receive appropriate postage discounts. 
•	Mailers who drop ship to Destination Sectional Center Facility (DSCF) 413 and 414 can expect changes if the AMP is approved.
