Q. How does the USPS price change compare to the other shipping companies’ price changes?

Q. Why are prices going up?

A. The costs of doing business — for things like trans-portation, utilities, and health care benefits — have continued to increase.

A. The new option consists of five cubic volume price tiers. Packages are priced based on their size (cubic volume) rather than their weight. The smaller the package, the lower the price.

Q. What are some benefits of the new Priority Mail com-mercial plus cubic volume-based pricing option?

A. Shippers can save money by using the new option. More generally, the new option encourages smaller and more space-efficient packaging. This saves the Postal Service transportation costs and continues our commitment to eco-friendly practices.

A. Yes. The 50-piece volume minimum has been elimi-nated for barcoded nonpresort packages that are paid using PC Postage.

a. At a retail counter of any participating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility.

b. Through Pickup on Demand service (see 215.3).

c. Through Carrier Pickup service (see 215.4).

d. In a collection box served by a participating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility.

Global Express Guaranteed shipments weighing 13 ounces or less and bearing only postage stamps may be deposited by one of the following methods:

a. At a retail counter of any participating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility.



d. In a collection box served by a participating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility.

215.23 Items Weighing More Than 13 Ounces and Paid With Postage Stamps

A customer may not deposit a Global Express Guaranteed item weighing more than 13 ounces and bearing only post-age stamps into a collection box, Postal Service lobby drop, Automated Postal Center (APC) drop, or customer mailbox, or at a Postal Service dock or other unattended location. In addition, these mailpieces are precluded from Pickup on Demand service under 215.3 and Carrier Pickup service under 215.4. Customers must present such items to an employee at a Post Office retail service counter. The Postal Service will return improperly presented items to the sender for proper entry and acceptance.

215.24 Acceptance of Shipments

For purposes of computing the delivery guarantee, Postal Service acceptance of a Global Express Guaranteed ship-


ment occurs when it is received and scanned at a partici-pating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility. Collection box deposit and Carrier Pickup service do not constitute Postal Service acceptance of a Global Express Guaranteed shipment.

We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed version of the IMM and into the monthly update of the online IMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.


IMM Revision: Size Requirements for Express Mail International and Priority Mail International Parcels

Effective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis-ing Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) sections 221.42 and 231.22 and adding a new section 231.23 to better define and clarify our size requirements for Express Mail Interna-tional® and Priority Mail International® parcels.

Consistent with Article RC 115 of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Parcel Post Regulations, and to better describe the maximum size dimensions for Priority Mail International parcels, we have deleted our previous refer-ence to “circular parcels” and “rectangular parcels” in IMM 231.22. In the past, parcels that were neither circular nor rectangular were technically nonmailable, but the revised text incorporates parcels of different shapes.

To further assist mailers, we have added new section 231.23, which includes an exhibit that provides five exam-ples on how to determine dimensions of length or length and girth combined for rectangular and nonrectangular parcels. We have also made a corresponding reference in 221.42 to direct Express Mail International customers to this same exhibit for determining dimensions of length or length and girth combined.




IMM Revision: Authorized Personal Correspondence Permitted in Priority Mail International — Update

Effective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis-ing Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) sections 232.2 and 232.3 to authorize certain correspondence to be included in Pri-ority Mail International® parcels. In the IMM’s Individual Country Listings, we are making appropriate revisions by deleting the references that indicate that personal corre-spondence in Priority Mail International parcels is not per-mitted. In each Individual Country Listing, these references appeared twice in the Priority Mail International section (in a note under the price table and in the “Flat Rate” section).

This revision is consistent with adopted Proposal 20.15.3 Rev. 1, amending Article 15 of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) Convention to authorize certain correspon-dence to be included in Priority Mail International parcels, including the Priority Mail International regular/medium and large flat-rate boxes.

In part, this resolution was adopted by UPU members in recognition that the current prohibition against enclosing correspondence in parcels is an inconvenience to many customers who want to send merchandise (particularly gifts) and also want to include some form of current greet-ing or note of congratulations for a special occasion. The same is true for a business that would like to enclose a brief note of gratitude for the customer’s business or some other

business-related correspondence such as a personalized advertisement. Moreover, other regulations might require that parcels include some types of correspondence, such as invoices or statements of account (which can be viewed as current and personal correspondence). UPU members agreed that there is no longer a sound business reason to prevent such incidental enclosures.

In addition, this revision will allow businesses to use Pri-ority Mail International service to ship documents having the character of personal correspondence (such as records or files) from one location to another, even when they are not exchanged between the sender and the addressee.

Note, though, that this revision does not permit the use of Priority Mail International parcels for sending letter-post items addressed to multiple addressees for local distribu-tion, thereby preserving the existing prohibition against re-mail activities.



IMM Revision: Nonmailable Items Prohibited in All Outbound International Mail — UpdateEffective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis-

ing Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) part 136 to include addi-tional items that are nonmailable in outbound international mail, regardless of mail classification.

As adopted by the 24th Congress of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 23–August 12, 2008, and consistent with Proposals 20.15.2 and 20.15.6, which amend Article 15 of the UPU Conven-tion, we are revising IMM 136 by renaming the title from “Nonmailable Dangerous Goods” to “Nonmailable Goods.” The previous information contained in IMM 136 is redesig-nated as 136.1, and we are inserting two new sections — 136.2, “Inert Replica and Explosive Devices,” and 136.3, “Counterfeit and Pirated Items.”

Consistent with UPU Resolution 20.15.2, the revision to IMM 136.2 to make inert replica and explosive devices nonmailable is intended to apply to devices that were orig-inally designed for military or combative use (including training) and is also extended to replicas of such items. However, this prohibition does not extend to children’s toys or such articles that do not represent the items in a

realistic manner. Consequently, IMM 136.2 codifies that replica and inert explosive devices and military ordnance, including inert grenades, inert shells, and the like, are non-mailable in any classification of outbound international mail.

Consistent with UPU Resolution 20.15.6, the revision to IMM 136.3 to make counterfeit and pirated articles non-mailable is intended to reduce the circulation of such arti-cles between UPU members. The prohibition also illustrates that UPU members actively support the World Customs Organization’s current campaign to thwart pro-duction and circulation of counterfeited and pirated prod-ucts such as dangerous toys and electrical items, dangerous counterfeit medicines, and those counterfeit branded goods that do economic harm to domestic and international companies. Consequently, IMM 136.3 codi-fies that counterfeit or pirated articles are nonmailable in any classification of outbound international mail.

Verifying U.S. Postal Service Money OrdersFollow these steps to cash a Postal Service™ money

order:

1. Check that the amount does not exceed the legal limit: $1,000 for domestic, and $700 for international postal money orders.

2. Check that the proper security features are present:

When held to the light, a watermark of Benjamin Franklin is repeated from top to bottom on the left side.

When held to the light, a dark line (security thread) runs from top to bottom with the word “USPS” repeated.

There should be no discoloration around the dol-lar amounts, which might indicate the amounts were changes.

These appear in Postal Service Notice 299, U.S. Postal Money Order Reference Card, or online at http://www.usps.com/missingmoneyorders/security.htm.

3. If the money order seems suspicious, call the U.S. Postal Service Money Order Verification System at 866-459-7822.

Please provide this information to local banks and retail-ers, as they also receive Postal Service money orders for cashing.

Equal Employment Opportunity Is The Law!

The Postal Service™ is required to post the information provided below regarding the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (“GINA”), which took effect on November 21, 2009. This information should be posted on all employee bulletin boards adjacent to Poster 72, EEO is the Law.

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 protects applicants and employees from discrimination based on genetic information in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. GINA also restricts employers’ acquisition of genetic information and strictly limits disclosure of genetic information. Genetic information includes information about genetic tests of applicants, employees, or their family members; the manifestation of diseases or disorders in family members (family medical history); and requests for or receipt of genetic services by applicants, employees, or their family members.

Missing Children Poster Display InstructionsPost Offices, classified stations, branches, and contract postal units may display this poster at

their option. If the poster is displayed, it should be placed on the community bulletin board located in the Post Office™ box lobby and not in the main retail (full service) lobby. Alternatively, Missing Children posters can be maintained in a binder behind the counter to be used as a reference guide. The posters also may be posted in a prominent location where letter carriers will be able to see them before or after they go out on their routes. Making this information available to letter carriers is consistent with the NALC/USPS Child Alert Program to facilitate identification of missing children.

Companion posters, authorized for display on bulletin boards maintained by employee organizations, appear periodically in The Postal Record, a publication for members of the National Association of Letter Carriers.

This poster is published in cooperation with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the United States Department of Justice, and the National Association of Letter Carriers. Information appearing on this poster is selected solely by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).

In addition to Postal Bulletin updates, NCMEC distributes information periodically. Notification of newly reported missing children is sent to designated district “Missing Children” coordinators via e-mail addresses provided by district managers. Within 24 hours of receipt of an e-mailed Missing Children poster, district coordinators should distribute copies to all Postal Service™ facilities in their districts. Missing Children posters are to be displayed as noted above for 30 days unless notification is received (from NCMEC) to remove a particular poster sooner. The e-mail network is used to distribute posters and information in only the most urgent cases of missing children. This system supplements, but does not replace, the missing children information in this Postal Bulletin.

Missing Children posters are available to the U.S. Postal Service® only as described above. If Postal Service employees are contacted by individuals or local agencies about displaying a sign or poster of a missing child in local Post Offices, the individual or agency should be politely informed that the U.S. Postal Service displays only those posters provided by NCMEC, because it has been designated by the U.S. Department of Justice to be the national clearinghouse and resource center for missing and exploited children. The individual or agency should then be referred to NCMEC at 800-843-5678.

If you have any information, or for free prevention tips, please call 800-THE-LOST (800-843-5678).

Manuals (continued)IMM Revision: Return Address Requirement for All Mailpieces in Outbound International Bulk Mailings

Effective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis-ing Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) sections 122.2, 292.41, and 293.41 to codify that mailpieces prepared as a bulk mailing must bear a U.S. return address.

We are making this change to be consistent with amended regulation Article RL 123.10 of the Universal Postal Union’s Letter Post Regulations. This amendment requires that mailpieces prepared as a commercial bulk mailing must bear a return address located in the mailing’s country of origin and that the return address must be visible on the outside of the mailpiece. For Postal Service pur-poses, an international “bulk mailing” is any International Priority Airmail™ (IPA®) or International Surface Air Lift®

(ISAL®) mailing, or any other mailing paid with an advance deposit account and presented to the Postal Service for acceptance.

122.2 Return Address


122.21 General

Due to heightened security, many foreign postal adminis-trations require complete sender and addressee informa-tion in roman letters and Arabic numerals on postal items. All outbound international mail should bear a complete return address of the sender. Only one return address may be used, and it must be located so that it does not affect either the clarity of the address of destination or the appli-cation of service labels and notations (postmarks, etc.).

122.22 Required Use of Return Address

In the case of bulk mailings, all mailpieces must bear a U.S.-origin return address visible on the outside of the mail-piece. For the purpose of this section, a “bulk mailing” is any IPA or ISAL mailing, or any other mailing paid with an advance deposit account and presented to the U.S. Postal Service for acceptance.

122.23 Return Address Elements and Placement

For U.S.-origin mailpieces, minimum elements must include a complete street number and name (or Post Office box num-

ber), city name, state name (or authorized two-letter state abbreviation), and the correct 5-digit ZIP Code or ZIP+4 code. The return address should appear in the upper left cor-ner of the address side of the envelope, card, flat, or pack-age. It is also recommended that U.S.-origin mailpieces include “United States” on the last line of the return address.

Unregistered items bearing a return address in another country are accepted only at the sender’s risk. Items autho-rized to bear a return address in another country must include the proper return address elements (including the country name) to ensure the proper return of the mailpiece. The return address should appear in the upper left corner of the address side of the envelope, card, flat, or package.

IMM Revision: Special Drawing Right Values and Indemnity Limits for Ordinary Priority Mail International Parcels and Registered Mail Service

Effective January 1, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis-ing the following sections in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual(IMM®) to reflect a change in the conversion rate between special drawing right (SDR) values and U.S. dollars, and to reflect changes to the indemnity limits for ordinary Priority Mail International® parcels and Registered Mail™ items (which are affected by the SDR values):

a. Exhibit 232.63.

b. Section 324.12.

c. Exhibit 324.12.

d. Section 333.2.

e. Section 934.2.

f. The Individual Country Listing for each country that offers Registered Mail service.

Postal Service retail employees use this information, and the limits listed in exhibit 232.63, when a customer pre-sents an ordinary parcel for mailing. Postal Service retail employees use section 324.12 and exhibit 324.12 when a customer presents an insured parcel for mailing, subject to availability in the destination country. For insured parcels, employees must write the insured amount, stated in terms of both dollars and SDR values, in the designated blocks on PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72.

IMM Revision: Updates to Various Individual Country ListingsEffective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revising

Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Inter-national Mail Manual (IMM®) in various parts of the Individual Country Listings (ICLs) for Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mongolia, Philippines, Russia, Sudan, and Uzbeki-stan. These changes are made and adopted at the request of these individual countries at the 24th Congress of the Uni-versal Postal Union (UPU) held in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 23–August 12, 2008, or at previous Congresses as dem-onstrated by the Final Protocol to the UPU Convention.

a. Consistent with Final Protocol Articles VII and VIII, Iran does not accept letters or parcels containing articles contrary to the principles of the Islamic religion. Con-sequently, in the Prohibitions section, we are modify-ing the second prohibition to read as follows: “Books, newspapers, printed matter, writing, records, pictures, emblems and any other articles of a seditious or im-moral nature or contrary to the principles of the Islamic religion or accepted customs.”

b. Consistent with adopted Proposal 23.8.4 and 23.9.3, Kazakhstan will no longer accept Registered Mail™items, ordinary parcels, or insured parcels containing coins, banknotes, credit notes or any securities pay-able to bearer, checks, precious metals (whether man-ufactured or not), precious stones, jewels and other valuable articles, and foreign currency. Kazakhstan will not accept liability in cases of loss or damage to such items if they are accepted. Consequently, in the Prohi-bitions section, we are adding a prohibition to read as follows: “Coins, banknotes, credit notes or any securi-ties payable to bearer, checks, precious metals (whether manufactured or not), precious stones, jew-els and other valuable articles, and foreign currency are prohibited. Kazakhstan will accept no liability for loss of or damage to such items.” In addition, in the Restrictions section, we are deleting the restriction that reads as follows: “Coins, banknotes, letters of credit or securities payable to bearer, checks, precious


metals (whether manufactured or not), precious stones, jewels, or other valuable articles may be mailed only as insured Priority Mail International par-cels.”

c. Consistent with adopted Proposal 23.4.1, Kazakh-stan limits the maximum weight of inward and out-ward M-bags to 20 kilograms. Consequently, in the First-Class Mail International section, we are revising the weight limit for airmail M-bags to 44 pounds (re-duced from 66 pounds).

d. Consistent with adopted Proposal 23.8.3, Kyr-gyzstan no longer accepts ordinary, registered letter-post items containing coins, currency notes or secu-rities of any kind payable to bearer, travelers checks, platinum, gold, or silver (whether manufactured or not), precious stones, jewels, or other valuable arti-cles. Kyrgyzstan will not accept liability in cases of loss or damage to such items if they are accepted. Consequently, in the Restrictions section, we are adding the following restriction: “Coins; currency notes or securities of any kind payable to bearer; traveler’s checks; platinum, gold, or silver (whether manufactured or not); precious stones; jewels; or other valuable articles may be mailed only as insured Priority Mail International parcels. Kyrgyzstan will not accept liability in cases of loss or damage to such items if they are accepted.”

e. In Final Protocol Article VIII, Lebanon identifies the prohibited items that it will not accept. Consequently, in the Prohibitions section, we are adding the follow-ing entry: “Liquids, easily liquefiable elements, and glass or similarly fragile articles.”

f. In Final Protocol Article VIII, Mongolia identifies the prohibited items that it may not accept in parcels. Consequently, in the Prohibitions section, we are adding the following entry: “Coins, bank notes, secu-rities payable to bearer, and traveler’s checks.”

g. In Final Protocol Articles VII and VIII, the Philippines identifies the prohibited items that it will not accept in letters and in parcels. Consequently, in the Prohibi-tions section, we are deleting the following entry: “Coins; banknotes; currency notes; traveler’s checks; or securities of any kind payable to bearer in ordinary mail. Such articles are only permissible in Registered Mail.” In addition, also in the Prohibitions section, we are adding the following two entries:

1. “Coins; currency notes or securities of any kind payable to bearer; traveler’s checks; platinum, gold, or silver (whether manufactured or not); pre-cious stones; or other valuable articles.”

2. “Liquids, easily liquefiable items, and glass or similarly fragile articles.”

h. Consistent with adopted Proposals 23.8.5 and 23.9.2, Russia no longer accepts registered items or ordinary or insured parcels containing bank notes in circulation, securities of any kind payable to bearer, or foreign currency, and it accepts no liability in cases of loss or damage to such items. Consequently, in the Restrictions section, we are adding the following entry: “Bank notes in circulation, securities of any kind payable to bearer, or foreign currency may be mailed only as insured Priority Mail International par-cels. Russia will not accept liability in cases of loss or damage to such items if they are accepted.”

i. In Final Protocol Article VIII, Sudan identifies the pro-hibited items that it will not accept. Consequently, in the Prohibitions section, we are adding the following entry: “Liquids, easily liquefiable items, and glass or similarly fragile articles.”

j. Consistent with adopted Proposal 23.9.2, Uzbeki-stan no longer accepts ordinary or insured parcels containing bank notes in circulation, securities of any kind payable to bearer, or foreign currency, and it ac-cepts no liability in cases of loss or damage to such items. Consequently, in the Prohibitions section, we are modifying the first prohibition to read as follows: Coins, bank notes in circulation, checks, postage stamps, currency, securities of any kind payable to bearer, or foreign currency. Uzbekistan will not ac-cept liability in cases of loss or damage to such items if they are accepted.

k. Consistent with adopted Proposal 23.4.1, Uzbeki-stan limits the maximum weight of inward and out-ward M-bags to 20 kilograms. Consequently, in the First-Class Mail International section, we are revising the weight limit for airmail M-bags to 44 pounds (re-duced from 66 pounds).




POM Revision: Detention of MailThere have been recent reports of the improper disposi-

tion of franked mail found in Postal Service™ collection mail. Section 491.523 of the Postal Operations Manual(POM) prohibits Postal Service employees from detaining franked mail, except in situations involving mail security. In addition, Postal Service employees who suspect abuse of franked mail privileges should refer the matter to officials of the Pricing and Classification Service Center (PCSC).

Effective December 3, 2009, the POM is revised to reflect the title of the PCSC and to clarify the chain of refer-ral for suspected abuse of franked mail privileges.

Human ResourcesFederal Employees Health Benefits Plans Reducing Service Areas

Certain employees received letters indicating that their health plan is reducing its service area for the 2010 plan year. This change will not affect all employees who received the letter. To determine whether or not you will be affected, review the table below, consult your health plan brochure, and/or contact the health plan for further infor-mation.

If your service area is dropped for the 2010 plan year and you do not elect a new plan during this Open Season (November 9–December 15, 2009), you may be required to travel to the plan’s remaining service area for medical care in order to receive full benefits from the plan after January 1, 2010.

If you wish to elect a new plan, you must complete a PostalEASE FEHB Worksheet and enter your election in

PostalEASE via LiteBlue (https://liteblue.usps.gov), at an Employee Self-Service Kiosk, on the Employee Service Line (877-477-3273, option 1, or TTY: 866-260-7507), on the Blue page (http://blue.usps.gov); or via submitting your worksheet to the Human Resources Shared Service Center (HRSSC) by close of business December 15, 2009, at 5:00 P.M.

PhilatelyPictorial Postmarks Announcement

As a community service, the Postal Service™ offers pic-torial postmarks to commemorate local events celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of events for which pictorial postmarks are authorized appears below. The sponsor of the pictorial postmark appears in italics under the date. Also provided are illustrations of these postmarks.

People attending these local events may obtain the postmark in person at the temporary Post Office™ station established there. Those who cannot attend the event but who wish to obtain the postmark may submit a mail order request. Pictorial postmarks are available only for the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial postmark date.

All requests must include a stamped envelope or post-card bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail® post-age. Items submitted for postmark may not include

postage issued after the date of the requested postmark. Such items will be returned unserviced.

Customers wishing to obtain a postmark should affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others, insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdi-ness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: Pictorial Postmarks, followed by the Name of the Station, Address, City, State, ZIP+4® Code, as listed below.

Customers can also send stamped envelopes and post-cards without addresses for postmark, as long as they sup-ply a larger envelope with adequate postage and their return address. After applying the pictorial postmark, the Postal Service returns the items (with or without addresses) under addressed protective cover.

The following pictorial postmark has been extended for 30 days:

Supply ManagementSupply Management’s Professional Development Programs Win International Recognition

Supply Management (SM) was chosen as a winner of the “Develop Leaders! Talents in Supply Chain Manage-ment” award. SM and nine other companies were selected by the Supply Chain Management Institute, in conjunction with the European Business School, as winners of this year’s prestigious award. The other nine companies included Siemens, SwissCom, Deutsche Post, Nestle, Deutsche Telecom, Boehringer Ingelheim, Lanxess, Paul Hartman, and Titan India.

SM is being recognized for its efforts in professional development, such as the SM Competency Model, web-based Competency Self-Assessment Survey, online train-ing, and implementation of the Supply Chain Academy. SM was also recognized for Workforce Management and Sup-port. This award element focused on flexible work arrange-ments; the Supply Management Rotational Assignment Program; streamlining the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes

(KSAs) for the 1102 job series; and the new SM onboarding process.

The selection panel was extremely impressed with the comprehensive communication strategy used to bring awareness of these efforts to the attention of SM employ-ees. They requested examples that will appear in a global publication. The official award ceremony took place on September 30, 2009, at a gala dinner hosted by the Euro-pean Business School at the Schloss Reichartshausen near Wiesbaden, Germany. Congratulations to the Profes-sional Development and Workforce Management Support teams in Supply Management Infrastructure for their con-tribution and to others in SM who supported this outstand-ing accomplishment!
