The Postal Service is proposing a revision to its previous proposal to amend the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) in various sections related to addressing. These changes aim to update the standards for ZIP Code and carrier route accuracy, and align database product cycles with other mailing products for consistency. The revisions seek to clarify proposals from the initial rule and incorporate feedback from the mailing industry, with an effective implementation date proposed for July 1, 2021. Public comments are invited on these proposed changes.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to change the rules about how they handle addresses to make sure mail gets to the right place, but some people think this could cost more money for small businesses who send mail. They're asking for people to tell them what they think about these changes by July 1, 2021.
