postal bulletin 22430 (12-10-15)Cover Story 3

Cover StoryDecember is USPS Motor Vehicle Safety Month

Someone dies in a motor vehicle crash every twelve minutes, an injury occurs every ten seconds, and a crash occurs every five seconds in the United States, according to the National Safety Council (2014).

Many of these incidents occur during the workday or during the commute to and from work. When a Postal Ser-vice™ employee is involved in an accident, either on or off the job, the USPS® bears the cost of these accidents either directly or indirectly. Whether you manage a fleet of vehi-cles and drivers, oversee a mobile sales force, or drive yourself, focusing on the driver safety program can greatly reduce the risks associated with a motor vehicle accident and aid the USPS in fulfilling our mission.

Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death and injury for all ages. Crashes on and off the job have far-reaching financial and psychological effects on employees, their coworkers and families, and their employers.

To bring attention to driving safety, the USPS is desig-nating December as “Motor Vehicle Safety Month.” Histor-ically, December has been the month when we see increased accident activity. Weather, temporary holiday workers, inexperienced workers, increased workloads, and the rush of the holiday season all contribute to this increase.

Focusing on motor vehicle safety:

Saves lives and reduces the risk of life-altering inju-ries.

Protects our human and financial resources.

Guards against potential liabilities associated with crashes involving employees driving on company business.

The goal of the program is to keep our drivers, and those with whom they share the road, safe. By changing attitudes about driving, improving behavior, and increasing skills, we build and sustain a culture where everyone understands that “Safety Depends on Me.”

In reviewing our accident data, we can easily identify some basic safe driving practices that can be reinforced to avoid tragedy. As an example, in 2015, the USPS reported nearly 27,000 motor vehicle accidents. Nearly half of these were experienced by our newer employees. We can reduce

our motor vehicle accidents with training and by consis-tently messaging the importance of these basic safe driving practices. By doing so, we not only reduce our accident counts, but ensure that our employees feel prepared for their jobs and see a future with the USPS. Employees are our most valuable assets. Workplace driver safety pro-grams not only make good business sense but also are a good employee relations tool, demonstrating that the USPS cares about our employees.

The data tells us that not only are our newer drivers at risk but that we need to address things like roll away/run away accidents, distracted driving, collisions with station-ary objects, and collisions with other vehicles.

During the month of December, you will receive stand up talks focused on these topics. For additional related resources:

Always Remember — Safety Depends on MeThe USPS has access to all of the data that you need to

focus your efforts more efficiently. You should work with your human resources manager, safety manager, injury compensation manager, and finance and safety commit-tees to identify activities that will help reduce motor vehicle accidents.

4.2 Basic Standards

4.2.1 Description


Parcel Return Service (PRS) applies to parcels that are picked up in bulk by authorized permit holders or their agents. Permit holders guarantee payment of postage for all parcels mailed with a PRS label. By providing an approved PRS label to its customers, the merchant or other party designates the permit holder identified on the label as their agent for receipt of mail bearing that label, and autho-rizes the USPS to provide that mail to the permit holder or its designee. PRS permit holders also may retrieve parcels at one or more designated return sectional center facilities (RSCFs) or designated return delivery units (RDUs). Pay-ment for parcels returned under PRS is deducted from a separate advance deposit (postage-due) account funded through the Centralized Account Processing System (CAPS). The permit holder must be authorized to use eVS (see 705.2.9).

IMM Revision: Adding Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba as a Separate Country ListingEffective January 17, 2016, the Postal Service™ will

revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser-vice, International Mail Manual (IMM®) in several sections to reflect a new single country listing of Bonaire, Sint Eusta-tius, and Saba. These three islands, which have status as special municipalities within the Kingdom of the Nether-lands, will have a separate country code. Also, we will elim-inate references to the Netherlands Antilles in the IMM. Revisions will appear in the following sections:

Exhibit 213.5.

Exhibit 292.45a.

Exhibit 293.45a.

Index of Countries and Localities.

Country Price Groups and Weight Limits.

Individual Country Listings.

In 2011, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) notified mem-ber countries via International Bureau Circulars that the

http://pe.usps.com


Netherlands Antilles ceased to exist as a separate entity. Curacao and Sint Maarten became independent countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba became special municipalities of the Netherlands known collectively as the Dutch Caribbean or Caribbean Netherlands. At that time, the designated oper-ator for Curacao also provided postal services to islands of the Dutch Caribbean, so information concerning those destinations (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba) was included in the relevant listing for Curacao.

On December 16, 2013, International Bureau Circular 214 informed UPU member countries that as of January 1, 2014, Flamingo Express Dutch Caribbean N.V. was the new designated operator for the Caribbean part of the Netherlands, consisting of the three islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. Flamingo Express would begin operating an office of exchange on Bonaire for mail exchanges to and from all three islands.

On January 27, 2014, International Bureau Circular 14 further reminded UPU member countries that the desig-nated operator of Curacao — Nieuwe Post Nederlandse Antillen N.V. — was no longer operating in the Caribbean part of the Netherlands and had closed its offices of exchange in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. Those islands were to be served by Flamingo Express, and any mail sent after January 27, 2014, to Nieuwe Post Neder-landse Antillen N.V. would be considered missent mail.

Consequently, the Individual Country Listings will have a separate entry for Curacao and a separate entry for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. Also, we will remove from the IMM the legacy references to the Netherlands Antilles.

IMM Revision: Changes to Pricing and Mailing Standards for International Shipping ServicesEffective January 17, 2016, the Postal Service™ will

revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser-vice, International Mail Manual (IMM®), to reflect changes to prices, product features, and standards for the interna-tional shipping services noted below:

Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG®).

Priority Mail Express International®.

Priority Mail International®.

First-Class Package International

Service® (FCPIS®).

International Priority Airmail® (IPA®).

International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®).

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (Air-mail M-bag® service).

International Extra Services:

Insurance.

International postal money orders.

International money order inquiry fee.

International money transfer service.

Global Express GuaranteedGlobal Express Guaranteed (GXG) service is the Postal

Service’s premier international expedited product provided through an alliance with FedEx Express®. The price increase for GXG service averages 7.1 percent.

The Postal Service provides Commercial Base™ pricing to online customers who prepare and pay for GXG ship-ments via USPS™-approved payment methods (with the exception of Click-N-Ship® service), with a 5-percent dis-count off the published retail prices for GXG. Customers who prepare GXG shipments via Click-N-Ship service will pay retail prices.

The Postal Service continues to offer Commercial Plus™ pricing for large-volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenue from GXG service, Priority Mail Express International service, Priority Mail International service, and First-Class Package Interna-tional Service (FCPIS) via USPS-approved payment meth-

ods. The Postal Service will also continue to include GXG service in customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to commit a larger amount of revenue in international postage.

Priority Mail Express InternationalPriority Mail Express International service provides fast

service to approximately 180 countries. Priority Mail Express International with Money-Back Guarantee service is available for certain destinations. The price increase for Priority Mail Express International service averages 11.6 percent. The Commercial Base price for customers who prepare and pay for Priority Mail Express International ship-ments via permit imprint, online at http://usps.com, or as registered end-users using an authorized PC Postage® vendor (with the exception of Click-N-Ship service) will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare Priority Mail Express International shipments via Click-N-Ship service will pay retail prices. The Postal Service con-tinues to offer Priority Mail Express International Commer-cial Plus pricing to large-volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail Interna-tional, and FCPIS services. The Postal Service will also continue to include Priority Mail Express International ser-vice in customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to commit a larger amount of revenue in international postage.

We are discontinuing the Priority Mail Express Interna-tional Flat Rate Box. Retail customers who present items to be mailed in a Priority Mail Express International Flat Rate Box will pay the retail price based on the item’s weight and price group.

Priority Mail Express International flat rate pricing con-tinues to be available for Flat Rate Envelopes. With this price change, the prices for what was formerly the “all other countries” rate group are being replaced with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on geographical regions.

http://pe.usps.com


Priority Mail International Priority Mail International service is an economical way

to send merchandise and documents to about 180 coun-tries. The price increase for Priority Mail International ser-vice averages 10.2 percent. The Commercial Base price for customers who prepare and pay for Priority Mail Interna-tional items via permit imprint, online at http://usps.com, or as registered end-users using an authorized PC Postage vendor (with the exception of Click-N-Ship service) will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare Priority Mail International shipments via Click-N-Ship ser-vice will pay retail prices. The Postal Service continues to offer Priority Mail International Commercial Plus pricing to large-volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, and FCPIS services. The Postal Service will continue to include Priority Mail International service in customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to commit to a larger amount of revenue to the Postal Service for Priority Mail Express International and Priority Mail International services.

Priority Mail International flat rate pricing continues to be available for Flat Rate Envelopes, Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes, and Medium and Large Flat Rate Boxes. With this price change, the prices for what was formerly the “all other countries” rate group are being replaced with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on geographical regions.

With this price change, we are implementing a structural change in the way insurance is provided and reimbursed for Priority Mail International service. Priority Mail Interna-tional shipments containing merchandise (other than in Pri-ority Mail International Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes and Flat Rate Envelopes) will be insured against loss, damage, or missing contents up to $200 at no additional charge. Additional insurance coverage up to a maximum of $5,000 (depending on individual country insurance limits) is avail-able for purchase at the sender’s option. Priority Mail Inter-national shipments containing nonnegotiable documents (other than in Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes) will be insured against loss, damage, or missing contents up to $100 for docu-ment reconstruction at no additional charge. The insurance coverage will be provided on all outbound Priority Mail International shipments accepted at retail or paid for with postage validation imprinter (PVI) labels, postage meter imprints, USPS-approved PC Postage, Click-N-Ship post-age, or permit imprint.

Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service — abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL — is an optional service available at no charge for Priority Mail

International Flat Rate Envelopes (except for the Gift Card Flat Rate Envelope) and all Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes to select destination countries for customers using select software or online tools. With this price change, we are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four countries: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and Turkey.

In the May 2015 price change, we created new price zones for Priority Mail International service to Canada, based on the distance of the origin ZIP Code™ to the serv-ing International Service Center (ISC). An ISC Zone Chart is now available for a subscription fee from the National Cus-tomer Support Center in Memphis, Tennessee, to support zone-based pricing for Priority Mail International service to Canada. The chart enables mailers to determine the appli-cable zone, based on the origin ZIP Code. Once the mailer knows the zone and weight of the item, the mailer will be able to determine the applicable postage price.

First-Class Package International ServiceFirst-Class Package International Service (FCPIS) is an

economical international service for small packages weigh-ing less than 4 pounds and not exceeding $400 in value. The pricing structure for FCPIS will continue to be simpler than for some other international products, with identical prices for 0–8 ounces within each country price group, and identical prices for 9–32 ounces within each country price group. The price increase for FCPIS averages 21.6 percent. The Commercial Base price for customers who prepare and pay for FCPIS items via permit imprint or by USPS-approved online payment methods will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare FCPIS shipments via Click-N-Ship service will pay retail prices. Commercial Plus pricing will be available to large-volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal reve-nue for GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, and FCPIS services.

Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service — abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL — is an optional service available at no charge for FCPIS items to select destination countries for customers using select software or online tools. With this price change, we are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four countries: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and Turkey.

International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift

International Priority Airmail (IPA) service, including IPA M-bag® service, is a bulk commercial service that provides business mailers with rapid and economical worldwide delivery for volume mailings of First-Class Mail Interna-tional® postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and FCPIS packages (small packets) weighing up to a maxi-mum of 4.4 pounds. The overall price increase for IPA ser-vice averages 4.2 percent. Published prices for IPA service

http://usps.com


will increase by 4.2 percent for IPA service, and 3.5 percent for IPA M-bag service. The Postal Service dispatches an IPA item to the destination country, where it is entered into the postal administration’s air or surface priority mail sys-tem for delivery.

International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) service, including ISAL M-bag service, is a bulk commercial service that pro-vides economical worldwide delivery to business mailers of volume mailings of all First-Class Mail International post-cards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and FCPIS packages (small packets) weighing up to a maximum of 4.4 pounds. The overall price increase for ISAL service averages 6 per-cent. Published prices for ISAL service will increase by 6.3 percent for ISAL service, and 5.3 percent for ISAL M-bag service. The Postal Service dispatches an ISAL item to the destination country, where it is entered into the postal administration’s surface nonpriority network for delivery.

The structure of IPA and ISAL price categories will con-tinue to be priced by the worldwide and 19 country price groups and applicable mail shapes — i.e., letters and post-cards, large envelopes (flats), and packages (small packets and rolls). These categories correspond to the Universal Postal Convention requirements to use shape-based pric-ing. For IPA and ISAL, the Postal Service offers incentive pricing through International Negotiated Service Agree-ments (NSAs).

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (Airmail M-bags)

Airmail M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter sent to a single foreign addressee at a single address. Prices are based on the weight of the sack. The price increase for Air-mail M-bags averages 9.2 percent.

International Extra Services and FeesDepending on country destination and mail type, cus-

tomers may add a variety of extra services to their out-bound shipments. Prices for some of these extra services are increasing:

International postal money orders will increase 5.6 percent.

The international postal money order inquiry fee will increase 3.5 percent.

International money transfer service will increase 3.3–3.7 percent, depending on the rate cell.

These IMM revisions are based on our international Ship-ping Services final rule titled “International Product and Price Changes” published in the Federal Register (80 FR 65139–65149) on October 26, 2015.

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 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/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.

as the creation of fraudulent accounts, identity theft, and unauthorized account access. Consistent with the official USPS Privacy Policy at www.usps.com/privacypolicy, the Postal Service has implemented policies and programs that attempt to identify and mitigate such fraudulent activ-ities, including the collection and analysis of Internet Proto-col (IP) addresses from users of www.usps.com for the purposes of identifying potential fraudulent activities.

While these above mentioned policies and programs have had success, the Postal Service has enhanced its ability to identify and mitigate fraud through the collection of additional types of customer information during the Cus-tomer Registration process. This information includes: 1) device identification number (device ID), which is a unique or distinctive number associated with a smartphone or other digital device, 2) Media Access Control (MAC) address, a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications and associated with the computer hardware that enables a device such as a smartphone or laptop to connect to a computer network, and, 3) user agent information, which contains information about the software acting on behalf of the customer when the cus-tomer connects and interacts with a website such as www.usps.com.

The organization routinely analyzes data collected from the customer, including the additional information specified above, thereby enhancing Postal Service fraud protection controls. When specific fraud is identified against a cus-tomer account, the organization communicates the inci-dent to the registrant and offers recommended steps to enhance the customer’s protection.

Additionally, the Postal Service is collecting information from businesses regarding promotional marketing cam-paigns. The Postal Service values its business customers, and welcomes any information they wish to share in con-nection with USPS promotional marketing campaigns. By associating this information with a business customer’s account, the Postal Service is better able to learn about and serve that customer. Furthermore, such information may aid the Postal Service in making improvements to www.usps.com as well as to Postal Service products and services.

This SOR is also being amended to include information on whether a USPS business customer is a mail owner, a mail service provider, a PC Postage user, and/or a PC postage vendor. Such information, which is currently col-lected and stored in other postal information systems (Pro-gram Registration and PostalOne!), will now be maintained in the Customer Registration database and enables busi-nesses to participate in Package Service programs, to receive mail tracking data, to receive incentives on certain mail volumes, or to avail themselves of other postal fea-tures available to business customers.

PublicationsPublication 52 Revision: Disposal of Controlled Substances

Effective December 10, 2015, the Postal Service™ is revising Publication 52, Hazardous, Restricted, and Perish-able Mail, to provide new standards applicable to mail-back programs of pharmaceutical drugs for the purpose of disposal.

On September 9, 2014, the Drug Enforcement Adminis-tration (DEA) published the Federal Register final rule titled “Disposal of Controlled Substances” (79 FR 53519-53570), that provided new regulations specific to the collection and disposal of controlled substances. This rule implements new regulations in the Secure and Responsible Drug Dis-posal Act of 2010 by expanding the options available to collect controlled substances from ultimate users for the purpose of disposal, including authorized mail-back pro-grams and the use of secured onsite collection recepta-cles.

In accordance with DEA regulations, authorized DEA registrants wishing to become controlled substances “mail-back collectors” must modify their DEA registration to conduct a mail-back program, and must have the ability to destroy the returned substances onsite. In addition, ulti-mate users must be provided with pre-paid, pre-addressed packaging. The DEA requires that packaging must:

Be nondescript and not include any markings or other information that might indicate that the pack-age contains controlled substances.

Be water- and spill-proof, tamper-evident, tear-resis-tant, and sealable.

Be preaddressed for delivery to the authorized col-lector’s registered address or the participating law enforcement’s physical address.

Have postage pre-applied by the authorized collec-tor.

Have a unique identification number that enables the package to be tracked.

Be accompanied by instructions for the user that describe the process for mailing back the package and other required information.

Once authorized by the DEA, mail-back collectors wish-ing to conduct mail-back programs must submit a letter of request to the manager, Product Classification (see 214 for address). Requests must include:

The registrant’s name, address, and DEA certificate of registration;

Samples of each mail-back system/container used by the applicant;

The authorized mail-back collector’s registered loca-tion and the method of destruction consistent with DEA regulations; and

An irrevocable $50,000 surety bond or letter of credit as proof of sufficient financial responsibility to cover disposal costs if the vendor ceases doing business to cover destruction costs of residual mail-back envelopes that are in Postal Service possession. The surety bond or letter of credit must be issued in the name of the vendor seeking the authorization and must name the Postal Service as the beneficiary or obligee.

In the event a DEA authorized mail-back collector termi-nates, transfers, or discontinues business, that collector must provide the manager, Product Classification, with the name, registered address, and registration number of the authorized mail-back collector that will receive the remain-ing mail-back packages in accordance with DEA regula-tions.

[Renumber current 453.7 as 453.8 and add new section 453.7 to read as follows:]

453.7 Mail-back Programs

Effective October 9, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), published the Federal Register final rule titled “Disposal of Controlled Substances” (79 CFR 53519-53570), where it provided new regulations specific to the collection and disposal of con-trolled substances. This regulation authorized the use of DEA authorized mail-back collectors (mailers) or law enforcement entities to conduct mail-back programs. Though these programs authorize ultimate users who have lawfully obtained unused or unwanted pharmaceuticals to transfer controlled substance pharmaceuticals to autho-rized mail-back collectors for the purpose of disposal, USPS authorization to conduct mail-back programs is sub-ject to the following conditions:

a. General

DEA registrants wishing to become controlled sub-stances “mail-back collectors” must obtain authori-zation from the DEA prior to conducting a mail-back program, and must have the ability to destroy the returned substances onsite. DEA-registered mail-back collectors must also obtain an authorization from the USPS manager, Product Classification prior to the implementation of any mail-back program. Mail-back programs may only be authorized within the customs territory of the United States (the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico).

b. Packaging

Authorized DEA registrants participating in a mail-back program must provide users with ready-made packaging. All packaging used in mail-back pro-grams must:

1. Be nondescript and must not include any mark-ings or other information that might indicate that the package contains controlled substances.

2. Be water- and spill-proof, tamper-evident, tear-resistant, and sealable.

3. Be preaddressed for delivery to the authorized mail-back collector’s registered address or the participating law enforcement’s physical address.

4. Have postage pre-paid using one of the following products:

a. Priority Mail Return Service,

b. First-Class Package Return Service, or

c. Business Reply Mail parcels

5. Be accompanied by instructions for the user that describes the process for mailing back the pack-age, and other required information.

c. Labels

Prior to requesting authorization, applicants (mailers) must:

1. Implement a process for generating labels includ-ing unique Intelligent Mail package barcodes, pre-pared in accordance with DMM 708.5.1, Publication 199, and the Parcel Labeling Guide. Publication 199 and the Parcel Labeling Guide are available on RIBBS at http://ribbs.usps.gov.

2. Applicants must obtain written approval for their labels and barcode quality from the National Cus-tomer Support Center (NCSC) prior to submitting their request for authorization to conduct a mail-back program.

d. Authorization

Mailers wishing to conduct a mail-back program must submit a letter of request to the manager, Prod-uct Classification (see DMM 608.8.1 for address). Requests must include:

1. The registrant’s name, address, and DEA certifi-cate of registration;

2. The authorized mail-back collector’s DEA-regis-tered location;

3. An irrevocable $50,000 surety bond or letter of credit as proof of sufficient financial responsibility to cover disposal costs if the vendor ceases doing business to cover destruction costs of residual mail-back envelopes that are in Postal Service possession. The surety bond or letter of credit must be issued in the name of the vendor seeking the authorization and must name the Postal Ser-vice as the beneficiary or obligee;

4. A letter of approval from the NCSC for each label type used to conduct their mail-back program; and

5. Sample mailpieces and labels intended for use with their mail-back program.

e. Discontinuation

In the event an authorized mail-back collector termi-nates, transfers, or discontinues business, that col-lector must provide the manager, Product Classification with the name, registered address, and registration number of the mail-back collector that will receive the remaining mail-back packages, in accordance with DEA regulations.

Information SecurityThis Season of Giving, Give Yourself the Gift of Information Security

Turkey, pumpkin pie, and candy canes aren’t the only things that are part of many Americans’ holiday traditions. Shopping for gifts online has also become a part of the hol-iday season, and each year more people look online to find the best deals and bargain prices.

The holiday season is one of the biggest online shop-ping periods of the year, which unfortunately provides hackers and scammers with ample opportunities to prey on unsuspecting shoppers. Hackers attempt to lure shoppers to malicious websites or phishing sites with the goal of col-lecting personal and financial information.

Consider these tips from CyberSafe at USPS™ to help protect your personal information online throughout the holiday season:

Only buy from known websites and pay attention to URLs — URLs with spelling mistakes may indicate a phony website.

Be suspicious of deals that sound too good to be true — beware of opening email attachments and hyperlinks in email messages advertising extremely low prices.

Keep a record of your online orders. Retain all docu-mentation from the order in the event that your pur-chase does not arrive and your credit card is charged.

Check your bank statements. If there is an unknown charge reported on your statement, report it to your bank immediately.

From tablets and smartphones to eReaders, this year’s holiday wish lists are more connected to the Internet than ever. While the newest tech gadgets make great gifts, they also present an opportunity for hackers to steal personal information.

Take these steps to secure your new devices:

Lock your device when you are not using it.

Disconnect your device from the Internet or Wi-Fi when you aren’t using it.

Keep your software updated, so that attackers can’t take advantage of computer viruses or vulnerabili-ties.

The holidays are a wonderful time to connect with family and friends. This holiday season, be sure to connect to your devices safely and securely.

The CyberSafe at USPS website (https://lite-blue.usps.gov/cyber) includes additional tips to spot online scams and keep your devices protected.

Payment TechnologyNon-IMI/IBI Indicia Will be Discontinued

In February 2013, the Postal Service™ published a Final Rule in the Federal Register regarding indicia created by Postage Evidencing Systems (PES). It stated that effective January 1, 2016, PES (i.e. postage meters and PC Postage products) will be required to produce Information Based Indicia (IBI) or Intelligent Mail® Indicia (IMI) for evidence of pre-paid postage.

PES that do not produce IBI/IMI are not providing the Postal Service and its customers the product level and mail

processing visibility necessary to manage business in today’s information rich environment. Effective January 1, 2016, indicia that are not IBI/IMI-compliant will not be rec-ognized as valid.

Stamp ServicesStamp Announcement 15-41: Quilled Paper Heart Stamp

© 2015 USPS

On January 12, 2016, in Dallas, TX, the U.S. Postal Ser-vice® will issue the Quilled Paper Heart stamp, (Forever® priced at 49 cents) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 586300).

The stamp will go on sale nationwide January 12, 2016.

This 2016 Love series stamp features an elegant heart created using the ancient art of quilling. Quilling — also called paper filigree — involves rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper, laying them on their edges, and gluing them in place to form intricate designs. The heart shape in the center of the stamp art is made from paper strips of many colors and is surrounded by white paper swirls. The back-ground is white with shadows cast by the dimensional pieces of quilled paper. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamp. Paper artist and illustrator Yulia Brodskaya created the stamp art.

Initial Supply to Post Offices: Item 586300, Quilled Paper Heart (Forever priced at 49 cents) Commemorative PSA Pane of 20 Stamps

Stamp Fulfillment Services will make an automatic push distribution to Post Offices™ of a quantity to cover approx-imately 30 days of sales. Distribution quantities for the automatic push distribution are available by logging on to SFS Web at https://sfsweb.usps.gov.

Pictorial Postmarks AnnouncementAs 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

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.

How to Order the First-Day-of-Issue Digital Color or Traditional PostmarksCustomers have 60 days to obtain the first-day-of-issue

postmarks by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post Office™, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, or at The Postal Store® website at www.usps.com/shop.

Traditional PostmarksCustomers should affix the stamps to envelopes of their

choice, address them to themselves or others, or provide a self-addressed return envelope with sufficient postage large enough to accommodate the canceled item. Mail the request to the corresponding city of issuance. There is no charge for the first 50 postmarks. There is a 5-cent charge for each additional postmark over 50. Customers should submit a check, money order, or credit card for payment. After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service™ will return the envelopes to the customer by U.S. Mail.

All postmark requests should go to the first-day-of-issue city. The first-day-of-issue city Post Office will then

forward in bulk all postmark requests to Cancellation Ser-vices, Stamp Fulfillment Services, PO Box 449992, Kansas City, MO 64144-9992 by respective Post Offices.

Digital Color PostmarksOnly select stamp issues offer a digital color postmark.

Customers may submit #6 or #10 envelopes constructed of paper rated as “laser safe.” The Postal Service recom-mends envelopes of 80-pound Accent Opaque, acid-free, 9/16" side seams with no glue on the flap. The maximum size of all digital color postmarks is 2" high x 4" long. Allow sufficient space on the envelope to accommodate the postmark. Do not use self-adhesive labels for addresses on the envelope. Two test envelopes must be included. There is a minimum of 10 envelopes at 50 cents per postmark required at the time of servicing. Customers should submit a check, money order, or credit card for payment.

The Postal Service reserves the right to not accept hand-painted and other cachet envelopes that are not



compatible with our digital color postmark equipment. The Postal Service also reserves the right to substitute tradi-tional black rubber postmarks if use of nonspecified enve-lopes results in poor image quality or damage to equipment.

Customers should affix the stamps to the envelopes and address them to themselves or others for return through the mail. Or, they may include an additional self-addressed return envelope, large enough to accommodate their can-celed items, with sufficient postage affixed for return of

their postmarked items. Mail the request for a first-day-of-issue digital color postmark to the corresponding city of issuance. Post Offices will then forward all customer requests for digital color postmarks to Cancellation Ser-vices, Stamp Fulfillment Services, PO Box 449992, Kansas City, MO 64144-9992.

After applying the first-day-of-issue postmark, the Postal Service will return the envelopes to the customer by U.S. Mail.
