Readiness of Mailers & USPS in January 2009
January 2009 implementation moved to May 2009
Tied directly to new prices in May 2009

Containerization Standards
Concern about a lack of standards for First Class Letter or Flats
IMB proposal does not include containerization standards
Any new containerization standards would be subject of a separate proposal
9
Mail “Owner’s” Identification
Shift from requirement from ID in Barcode to;
Alternative method to identify owner through electronic documentation
10
Requirement for FAST Appointments
We are not proposing required FAST Appointments for First Class Mail
Will continue to require for drop ship for DBMC, DADC, or DSCF for Periodicals, Standard and Package Services

BRM & CRM Requirements
BRM & CRM omitted from first Federal Register Notice
Proposing Barcodes for letter and flat reply mail
Business Reply Mail®, Courtesy Reply Mail™, Meter Reply Mail and Permit Reply Mail
In IMB® format with Mailer ID and Reply Mail Service Type ID as of May 2010
12
Longevity of Basic IMB®
We are not proposing Basic IMB® option be temporary
Basic IMB® are information rich and convey more information than POSTNET
13
Use of Intelligent Mail Barcodes on Parcels
Current Federal Register Notice for IMB® only applies to Letters, Postcards and Flats
Currently refining standards for packages and will publish at a later date
14
Use of Optional Endorsement Lines
The top piece in a bundle must contain:
An OEL, information also in barcode; or
Pressure Sensitive bundle label
15
Suggestions to achieve Uniqueness
Suggestion to link delivery routing code and the serial number ID
Proposal: Serial number ID in combination with Mailer ID and Service Type ID
16
Documentation to match physical mail
Nesting of physical mail should match the nesting presented in electronic documentation
Some instances where exact match of physical and electronic is challenging, but total number of pieces sorted to each destination matches the documentation
17
Miscellaneous Items
Free Address Correction Service; will be provided for correctly formatted pieces in Full-Service IMB® Mailings
10/24 Barcode Format; Specification/Requirements will be posted on RIBBS this week. USPS will update technology to read pure 24 Format by May 2009.
