Cover Story
Second Quarter Voice of the Employee Surveys are in the Mail
Each quarter, 25% of employees are invited to participate in the Voice of the Employee (VOE) survey — the
Postal Service’s™ measure of employee engagement.
Employee engagement is the degree to which employees
come to work each day willing and able to use their best
efforts, ideas, and abilities to help the Postal Service provide the best possible service. Engaged employees believe
in what they do, exert discretionary effort, adapt well to
change, and proactively address new opportunities. High
levels of engagement lead to positive organizational outcomes such as customer satisfaction, productivity, safety,
and retention.
Employees are most engaged when they have the right
tools, information, training, and leadership to do their job.
Engaged employees know how the work they do is aligned
to the goals of the Postal Service, and they are enabled and
motivated to achieve results. That’s why the VOE survey
invites employees to give the Postal Service their opinions
on topics such as communication, trust, diversity, respect,
and leadership.
Participation in the VOE is voluntary and entirely confidential. Responses go directly to an independent party
who tabulates the results and reports them back to the
Postal Service in summary form. To learn more about VOE,
you can access the VOE website from the Human
Resources web page on Blue at http://blue.usps.gov/
humanresources/home.shtml. There you can find the most
recent survey results, tips for working with your results,
articles on employee engagement, and more.
If you are invited to participate in the VOE this quarter,
take some time — on-the-clock — to let your voice be
heard.

DMM Correction: Priority Mail Express Delivery Times
In the article “DMM Revision: Domestic Competitive
Products Pricing and Mailing Standards Changes,” in
Postal Bulletin 22378 (12-12-13, page 4), the 12:00 P.M.

12:00 P.M. delivery time option for Priority Mail Express™

items will now be available for delivery at 12:00 P.M. and
3:00 P.M. based on the origin and destination ZIP Codes™.
A 10:30 A.M. delivery time option based on the origin and

DMM Revision: Clarifications for Flats Sequencing System Sortation
Effective March 3, 2014, the Postal Service™ will revise
the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 705.14 to additionally clarify that nonbarcoded flats are included in the required preparation for flats sequencing system (FSS) processing. Such
flats generally have to meet physical standards for flatsmachinability such as deflection, flexibility, and uniform
thickness standards. While the USPS encourages mailers
to barcode all flats, nonbarcoded flats will be required to be
included in FSS sortation as long as they meet all other eligibility standards.
Additionally, we are revising DMM 343 to clarify that
nonautomation Standard Mail® flats not eligible for carrier
route or 5-digit prices and correctly placed in FSS scheme
bundles are eligible for 3-digit prices. New DMM 343.5.4c
states this, but we are revising item 343.5.6 to more clearly
agree with 343.5.4c.
Mailers should include nonbarcoded flats in FSS preparation as of January 26, 2014. Mailers also may claim 3digit prices for nonautomation flats as indicated above and
in the revised standards below as of January 26, 2014.

prices, placed in mixed ADC sacks, or on ASF, NDC, or
mixed NDC pallets under 705.8.0.

DMM Revision: Labeling List L012 for Automation Letter 5-Digit ZIP Code Scheme
Combinations
The 5-digit ZIP Codes in each scheme are treated as
one presort destination subject to a minimum volume,
with no further separation by 5-digit ZIP Code required.
Trays prepared for a 5-digit scheme destination that
contain pieces for only one of the schemed 5-digit ZIP
Codes are considered 5-digit scheme sorted. When
standards require 5-digit/scheme sorting, mailers must
prepare all possible 5-digit scheme trays, then prepare
all possible 5-digit trays.
the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 235, 245, and 707 to refer
to the use of Labeling List L012 as the source for 5-digit ZIP
Code™ scheme combinations when preparing automation
letters.
Labeling List 012 was created in June 2012 as a parallel
source of information formerly found in the City State Product. Letters were sent to City State Product subscribers in
June 2012 and again in January 2013 to notify and remind
them of the pending change. This change standardizes the
use of Labeling Lists as the general source for customers
obtaining Labeling List information. This use of L012 is
effective immediately.

DMM Revision: New Commercial Service Premium Forwarding Service Commercial
Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service,
Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) sections 507.3, 507.7, and
507.9 to implement new standards for Premium Forwarding Service Commercial (PFS Commercial™) service.
The Postal Service provided advance notice of changes
to introduce Premium Forwarding Service in the Federal
Register Docket No. 2013-27728, Volume 78, Number 224
(Wednesday, November 20, 2013). The Postal Service
anticipated a systems implementation date of July 2014;
however, many of the new features of PFS Commercial can
be made available sooner than July 2014. Consequently,
the Postal Service will revise DMM standards using a
phased-in approach.
Currently, the Postal Service offers residential and commercial customers options for shipping mail from one delivery location or Post Office Box™ to another. For retail
customers, Premium Forwarding Service® (PFS®) is available for up to one year and shipments are sent weekly. For
commercial customers, Priority Mail Express™ (PME)
Reshipment service [established with a USPS® Corporate
Account (USPSCA™)] and Priority Mail® (PM) Reshipment
service, established with a Merchandise Return Service
(MRS) permit account, are available for a specific period of
time and frequency. PFS Commercial will effectively
replace both of these services.

Premium Forwarding Service Commercial
3.3.1
Description
Premium Forwarding Service Commercial (PFS Commercial) provides business commercial customers, who establish a service agreement with the USPS, the option to have
USPS gather their mail addressed to PO Boxes or business
street addresses within the same servicing postal facility,
then consolidate and dispatch the mail as Priority Mail
Express or Priority Mail shipments to a new address. Customers must pay an annual enrollment fee and the applicable postage for the class of mail desired for the shipments.
See Notice 123, Price List.
the PO Box or business street address is located.
Any short paid, MRS, or BRM pieces will be charged
to the mailer’s account prior to shipment. The customer’s application must include confirmation that
such an account exists.
Depending upon the volume of mail collected, shipment
containers may be sacks (not to exceed 70 pounds each),
full (2-foot) or half (1-foot) tray boxes, or Flat Rate envelopes.
3.3.2
Authorization
Commercial customers may establish PFS Commercial
service by making a request in writing to the origin Post
Office for approval by the Postmaster. Requests must
specify the business street delivery or PO Boxes
addresses, destination address, shipment frequency (Monday through Saturday) and the postage payment method
(see 3.3.3b). Service is activated by Postmaster approval.
3.3.3
Additional Conditions
g. Priority Mail Express, USPS Tracking, Certified Mail,
COD, Insured Mail, Signature Confirmation, or Adult
Signature mailpieces are shipped and charged separately from non-accountable mailpieces. These accountable mailpieces are shipped to the destination
delivery office and addressed to the Postmaster for
proper handling.
h. Registered Mail is not eligible for PFS Commercial
service.
Only the authorized recipient (or legal agent) of the business (or organization) mail may activate the request for PFS
Commercial service. PFS Commercial service agreements
are subject to these additional standards:
i. Business customers may terminate their PFS Commercial service agreement, effective 24 hours after
the USPS receives the customer’s written notice of
termination at the serving Post Office. The customer
must pay all postage and fees as applicable for any
shipments already scheduled before termination of
service is made effective.
a. Customers must pay an annual enrollment fee to establish service, regardless of the number of individual
PO Boxes or street delivery addresses included for
each servicing Post Office. The enrollment fee is refundable only if the request is denied.
j. The USPS may terminate a customer’s PFS Commercial service agreement, effective 24 hours after
the customer receives written notice of termination
from the serving Post Office. Termination is based
upon the customer’s failure to pay postage and fees,
failure to meet the standards for PFS Commercial
service, or there is substantial reason to believe that
the service is being or will be used for unlawful activities (in these cases, the 24-hour effective period may
not be granted by USPS). The customer may appeal
this termination of services to the manager, Post Office Operations, but must pay for all postage and fees
as applicable for any service provided during the appeal period.
b. The annual enrollment fee may be paid at a retail Post
Office location, station, or branch; the applicable
postage for each shipment container is paid using
the customer’s PostalOne! permit account for customers choosing Priority Mail service, or with a USPS
Corporate Account for customers choosing Priority
Mail Express service.
c. The postage is charged per shipment container as
follows:
1. A sack or tray box and its contents are considered
one piece for calculation of the price of postage
and must not exceed 70 pounds. Postage is calculated by the weight of the container and the
Zone, based on the ZIP Code of the servicing Post
Office and the delivery address for the shipment.
2. A Flat Rate envelope and its contents are considered one piece for the applicable Flat Rate price.
d. If no mail is collected for a shipment on a designated
frequency day, no postage is charged.
e. Except under 3.3.3g, the following classes of mail
may be included in a PFS Commercial service container: Priority Mail, First-Class Mail, and First-Class
Package Services pieces.
f. The mailer must keep a postage-due merchandise
return service (MRS) account, or Business Reply Mail
(BRM) account at the originating postal facility where

DMM Clarification: USPS Package Intercept Automated Retail Requests — Delayed
Implementation
The Postal Service™ provided notice in the Federal
Register Docket No. 2013-27728, Volume 78, Number 224
(Wednesday, November 20, 2013) that effective January
26, 2014, the Postal Service will revise Mailing Standards of
the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM®) section 507.5 to introduce an additional phase of
Package Intercept service to automate the retail requests
and related payments for Package Intercept service to
online at www.usps.com. As a result of the retail online
implementation, manual requests would no longer be necessary and PS Form 1509, Sender’s Request for USPS
Package Intercept Service, would be retired.
planned, retail customers may continue to request to have
their package intercepted and redirected to sender by paying the fee and submitting PS Form 1509 at any retail Post
Office™ location until systems implementation is completed. A subsequent Postal Bulletin article will be published at a later date to provide the final implementation
date.
This delay does not impact commercial customers who
may continue to request to have their package redirected
through the Business Customer Gateway at https://gateway.usps.com/bcg/login.htm.
Due to unexpected systems delays, the online implementation is delayed with a new expected implementation
date of March 2014. Although the DMM will reflect the
updates to the standards for retail Package Intercept as

Publications
Publication 75, Mover’s Guide, News
As of January 1, 2014, recycle any old copies of Publication 75, Mover’s Guide. All Post Offices™ should have
received the new January–March 2014 issue of Publication
75 by December 31, 2013. Similar to last quarter’s shipment,
the total quantity of Mover’s Guide copies sent to your facility may have been reduced. In an effort to reduce waste and
account for more customers submitting change-of-address
orders online, fewer Mover’s Guide copies are needed.
There are several things you can do to conserve as well:

Make sure customers are aware that USPS.com® is
the most convenient, safe, and secure way for customers to submit a change-of-address order.

Encourage carriers to take ICOA message cards on
their routes instead of Mover’s Guide copies.

Give Mover’s Guide copies out to moving customers
only.
Important Reminders

Copies of Mover’s Guide must be kept behind the
counter ONLY, not in inner or outer lobbies or on clerk
counters.

Customers unwilling or unable to submit their change
of address at www.usps.com should be given a complete, unopened copy of Mover’s Guide.

Provide no more than three copies of Mover’s Guide
to each customer.

Mover’s Guide is printed and distributed four times a
year.
Shipment Information and Inventory Management
Offices will continue to receive copies of Mover’s Guide
in one or two shipments. The first shipments should have
arrived by the end of December. The second shipments will
arrive 3 to 5 weeks later.

Boxes with YELLOW stickers are the first shipment
for this print run.

Boxes with BLUE stickers are the second and final
shipment for this print run.
To track or find your office’s shipment information, go to
http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/operations/
ops_downloads.htm and click Mover’s Guide (Pub75) Distribution for January–March 2014. Use the Ctrl + F Function
to search for your office while the “Fedstrip” Column is
highlighted. To request a shipment quantity change, call
Imagitas at 800-816-6837.
ICOA Message Card Information
If your Post Office has an ICOA message card display,
replenishment cards and updated banners will be mailed with
your Mover’s Guide shipments. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE
DISPLAY OR ICOA MESSAGE CARDS. THEY DO NOT
EXPIRE. The display is REQUIRED to be in the lobby and it
must have the ICOA message cards in it at all times.
If any Post Office runs out of ICOA message cards
between shipments, use the website at http://imagitas.com/

Avoid Travel Card Foreign Currency Conversion Fees
Employees who travel internationally will see currency
conversion fees assessed on their travel card statements
when making purchases in non-U.S. currency. Pay close
attention to any fees added to the cost of the item(s) purchased to ensure that no inappropriate fees are assessed.
Some foreign merchants offer (as a service to their customers) “Dynamic Currency Conversion” (DCC) service.
Employees should avoid DCC. DCC is a point-of-sale conversion that dynamically converts the charge from foreign
currency to U.S. dollars. Although this conversion may
seem like a good deal, typically the conversion is less costeffective and unregulated.
Employees should make the purchase in the foreign currency and allow the conversion to be made through Visa.
This approach will allow a regulated fee to be assessed that
is in compliance with the GSA SmartPay master contract.

stamps. Ensure the Forever Stamp booklets with the old
price are added to the unit reserve stamp stock to be revalued on January 26, 2014.
POS ONE Offices
The POS ONE system will automatically revalue all Forever Stamp booklets on hand; therefore, all Forever Stamp
booklets must be in the retail floor stock prior to January
26, 2014. A retail associate working from the retail floor
stock will exchange the rural carrier’s Forever Stamp booklets following the Exchanging Stamp Products workflow:

Press [Stamps and Merchandise] or [Stamps].

Select <Exchange>.

Enter the quantity (Forever Stamp Booklets). Press
[Quantity].

Scan/enter the item number of the Forever Stamp

Scan/enter the item number of the denominated 46cent stamps and then select <Sell by Item Number>.

Press [Quantity].

Scan/enter the item number of any other denomination stamps to be issued and then select <Sell by
Item Number>.

Once the values of the denominated 46-cent stamps
sold are equal to the Forever Stamps being
exchanged, press [Payment or End of Visit].

Safety and Health
Statutory Requirement to Review and Post OSHA Form 300A Summary for Calendar Year 2013
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) requires all Postal Service™ installation and establishment heads to prepare and post the OSHA Form 300A,
Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, summary
for calendar year (CY) 2013, in accordance with 29 CFR
1904 and the Employee and Labor Relations Manual (ELM)
821, Actions in the Event of Accident, Injury, or Illness.
From February 1, 2014, through April 30, 2014, installations are required to post a copy of the OSHA Form 300A
for CY 2013 in a conspicuous place at every establishment
where employees work or report to work.
When reviewing the OSHA 300 Log, installation heads
must pay close attention to column F. Column F includes
descriptions of the injury or illness, the parts of the body
affected (including which side of the body), and the object
or substance that directly injured or made the person ill. For
example: “Second degree burns on right forearm from
acetylene torch.”
Installation heads must also pay close attention to columns K and L. If an injury is identified as “days away from
work” in column K or “on the job transfer or restriction” in
column L, installation heads must ensure that the number
of days entered is accurate.
For every entry on the OSHA 300 Log, the installation
head must ensure that there is a corresponding Accident
Report Form 1769/301 in the Employee Health and Safety
application, which populates the OSHA 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report.
The left side of OSHA Form 300A contains sets of information data points, with a letter (such as the letter “K”) corresponding to each data point. The data points come from
the OSHA 300 Log summary columns with the same letter.
The right side of the OSHA Form 300A is self-explanatory except for the North American Industrial Classification
code. The code for Vehicle Maintenance Facilities is
811111; the code for all other Postal Service establishments is 491110.
Before posting and signing the OSHA Form 300A, the
installation or establishment heads are required to review
the OSHA 300 Log and the OSHA 300A Summary Reports.
When they sign the OSHA Form 300A, they are affirming
that they have reviewed both OSHA forms for accuracy and
completeness (whether they use the manual or automated
versions of the forms).

Shirley Chisholm Stamp
Retail Manager
1050 Forbell Street
Brooklyn, NY 11256-9998
All orders must be postmarked by April 2, 2014.
The U.S. Postal Service honors Shirley Chisholm (19242005), the first black woman ever elected to Congress, with
the 37th stamp in its Black Heritage series. An outspoken
politician who shattered barriers of race and gender in the
1960s and 1970s, Chisholm ran for president in 1972,
becoming the first African American and only the second
woman to seek the nomination of a major political party. Art
director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp using a painting
of Chisholm by artist Robert Shetterly. The portrait is taken
from a series of paintings titled “Americans Who Tell the
Truth.”
Special Dedication Postmarks
Only the following pictorial postmark is permitted for the
Shirley Chisholm stamp. The word “Station” or the abbreviation “STA” is required somewhere in the design,
because it will be a temporary station.

Verifying U.S. Postal Service Money Orders
Counterfeit Canadian Money Order Forms
Follow these steps to cash a Postal Service™ money
order:
Do Not Cash
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 dollar
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 https://
www.usps.com/shop/accepting-money-orders.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 retailers, as they also receive Postal Service money orders for
cashing.

Note: Mail order catalogs are prohibited as SAM or PAL mail.
A. Securities, currency, or precious metals in their raw, unmanufactured
state are prohibited. Official shipments are exempt from this restriction.
A1. Mail addressed to “Any Servicemember,” or similar wording such as
“Any Soldier,” “Sailor,” “Airman,” or “Marine”; “Military Mail”; etc., is prohibited. Mail must be addressed to an individual or job title such as “Commander,” “Commanding Officer,” etc.
A2. APO/FPO/DPO addresses shall not include a city and/or country name.
B. Regardless of mail class, a customs declaration (PS Form 2976 or, if
the customer prefers, PS Form 2976-A) is required for all items weighing 16
ounces or more or any item (regardless of weight) containing potentially dutiable mail contents (e.g., merchandise or goods) addressed to or from an
APO, FPO, or DPO ZIP Code. No customs form is required for items weighing less than 16 ounces when the contents are not potentially dutiable (e.g.,
documents). The surface area of the address side of the mailpiece must be
large enough to contain the applicable customs declaration. The following
exceptions apply:

Known mailers are exempt from providing customs documentation
on non-dutiable letters or printed matter. (A known mailer is a business mailer who enters volume mailings through a business mail
entry unit (BMEU) or other bulk mail acceptance location, pays postage through an advance deposit account, uses a permit imprint for
postage payment, and submits a completed postage statement at
the time of entry that certifies that the mailpieces contain no dangerous materials that are prohibited by postal regulations.)

All federal, state, and local government agencies whose mailings are
regarded as “Official Mail” are exempt from providing customs documentation on any item addressed to an APO, FPO, or DPO except
for those APOs/FPOs/DPOs to which restriction “B2” applies.

Prepaid mail from military contractors is exempt, providing the mailpiece is endorsed “Contents for Official Use — Exempt from Customs Requirements.”
B2. All federal, state, and local government agencies must complete
customs documentation when sending potentially dutiable mail addressed
to or from this APO, FPO, or DPO.
C. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are prohibited.
C1. Obscene articles, prints, paintings, cards, films, videotapes, etc.,
and horror comics and matrices are prohibited.
D. Coffee is prohibited.
E. Medicines (prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, and supplements) are prohibited when mailed to individuals for human or animal use.
This prohibition does not apply when medicines are sent as official mail only
between specifically designated agencies such as pharmaceutical distributors, hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies.
E1. Medicines or vaccines not conforming to French laws are prohibited.
E2. Any matter depicting nude or seminude persons, pornographic or
sexual items, or nonauthorized political materials is prohibited. Although religious materials contrary to the Islamic faith are prohibited in bulk quantities,
items for the personal use of the addressee are permissible.
E3. Radio transceivers, cordless telephones, global positioning systems, scanners, base stations, and handheld transmitters are prohibited.
F. Firearms of any type are prohibited in all classes of mail. See definitions of firearms in DMM 601.12.1.1. This restriction does not apply to firearms mailed to or by official U.S. government agencies. The restriction for

The G Fund is managed internally by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. Assets of the F, C, S, and I Funds are managed
externally. The Board currently has contracts with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A., to manage the F, C, S, and I Fund assets.
The F, C, S, and I Funds invest in commingled trust funds, in which the assets of tax-deferred employee benefit plans are combined and
invested together. The F, C, S, and I Funds and the BlackRock funds are passively managed index funds.
Future performance of the funds will vary and may be significantly different from the returns shown above. See the Summary of the Thrift
Savings Plan for detailed information about the funds and their investment risks. The monthly returns of the TSP Funds represent net
earnings for the month after deduction of accrued administrative expenses and, except for the G Fund, after deduction of trading costs and
accrued investment management fees as well. The returns for the four indexes shown do not include any of these deductions.
* Implemented May 2001.

On January 28, 2014, in Independence, Missouri, the
U.S. Postal Service® will issue The Star-Spangled Banner
First-Class Mail® stamp (Forever® priced at 49 cents), in
one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) booklet
of 20 stamps (Item 689000), produced by security printer
Ashton Potter and a coil of 100 (Item 789900), produced by
security printers Ashton Potter and CCL Label, Inc.
This stamp commemorates the 200th anniversary of
The Star-Spangled Banner with a photograph of the flag
that flies over Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore. This flag is a replica of the one
that inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled
Banner” after realizing Fort McHenry had withstood the
British attack of September 13–14, 1814. The picture of the
flag was taken against a backdrop of fireworks during an
annual celebration of Defenders’ Day. Photographer Gary
Clark said it was a challenge to get the fireworks and the
flag in the same shot and that “the wind picked up quite a
bit that night.” Art director Phil Jordan designed the stamp.
