USPS named one of country s best for Hispanics Hispanic Business magazine has named USPS one of the best companies for Hispanics. The Postal Service is the only federal agency included in the magazine s Diversity Elite 60 list, an annual directory of the best companies for Hispanics.

In an article that accompanies the ranking in the September issue, Hispanic Business notes that the Postal Service is not only delivering the nation s mail, but also a commitment to diversity within the huge organization, with suppliers and throughout the communities it serves. Chief Human Resources Officer Anthony Vegliante said in the article that the Postal Service s talent acquisition and retention strategy reflects continually changing demographics and targets all USPS positions, including its many corporate positions in engineering, legal, financial and other professional fields.

6 6 POSTAL BULLETIN ( ) POLICIES, PROCEDURES, AND FORMS UPDATES 3.2 Address Change Service (ACS) Description [Revise to provide new options as follows:] Address Change Service (ACS) is an automated or electronic process providing mailers with notices of address correction or reason for nondelivery. ACS is designed to reduce the volume of manual notifications provided for valid participating ACS mailpieces, but it does not completely eliminate manual notifications. Mailers must keep their address records in electronic format and mark or encode their mailpieces with the correct ACS symbology under 3.2 and the correct ancillary service endorsement under 1.5 to obtain address corrections. See for an option to use OneCode ACS with an Intelligent Mail barcode for letters and flats in First-Class Mail, Periodicals, and Standard Mail. To obtain nondelivery information under 1.4.1, mailers must use an ACS keyline or an Intelligent Mail barcode on mailpieces. Mailers also can use traditional ACS, along with Shipper Paid Forwarding under 3.2.9, to pay forwarding postage on most Standard Mail and Package Services pieces. Mailers can find additional information about traditional ACS and OneCode ACS in Publication 8A, Address Change Service Traditional, and Publication 8B, Address Change Service OneCode ACS Service Options [Revise to add reference to flats, Periodicals, and Standard Mail as follows:] ACS offers three levels of service, as follows: a.

Additional information for using the human-readable option is available in Publication 8A, Address Change Service Traditional. b. When using Intelligent Mail barcodes, mailers can participate in the OneCode ACS option of ACS (see for restrictions). The NCSC provides the numeric OneCode ACS Mailer ID, the equivalent of a participant code, to authorized mailers using an Intelligent Mail barcode (see ). As part of the application process, a Mailer ID is assigned to identify the participant, or mailers can choose to register one or more of their existing Mailer IDs for use with OneCode ACS. Mailers must incorporate the Mailer ID in the Mailer Identifier field, the unique mailpiece identifier in the Serial Number field, and the appropriate service in the Service Type Identifier field of the Intelligent Mail barcode according to Specification USPS B Customers can access the Intelligent Mail barcode specification at OneCodeSOLUTION Additional Standards When Using Intelligent Mail Barcodes [Revise to add new OneCode ACS options as follows:] Mailers can access OneCode ACS using an Intelligent Mail barcode, which is capable of encoding a valid Service Type Identifier indicating the ancillary service requested; a numeric Mailer ID; and the serial number, a unique numeric mailpiece identifier (keyline equivalent).

Mailing Standards, Pricing and Classification, DMM Revision: Changes in Requirements for Use of Special Postage Payment Systems Effective September 27, 2007, the Postal Service is updating standards to allow easier use of special postage payment systems. This includes optional procedure mailing systems, alternate mailing systems (AMS), manifest mailing systems (MMS), First-Class Mail or Standard Mail mailings with different payment methods systems (also known as combined mailing systems), and value added refund systems (VAR). Each of these systems requires a signed agreement between the Postal Service and the approved customer. Currently, the agreements are renewed in 2-year intervals. After this revision, agreements will no longer have a predetermined expiration date. Continuation will be based on the customer s ability to effectively maintain the terms of the agreement. The change will eliminate repetitive authorization paperwork and allow continuous use of the system. We are also streamlining the appeal process within the systems. When a customer chooses to appeal a decision regarding performance within their system, the customer can appeal to the Marketing and Technology Channel Management manager. This change will provide a more direct appeal process. Currently, customers authorized to use an AMS are required to pay a 1.5 percent penalty surcharge above the calculated postage adjustment whenever postage verification exceeds the established tolerance level. We are removing this standard so that only the postage adjustment will be collected. However, frequent postage adjustments, due to poor performing systems, may become a factor in determining whether or not to continue the customer s authorization. We will incorporate these changes in our October update of the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM ) , , , , and as noted below. Customers currently authorized to use a special postage payment system will be provided new nonexpiring agreements incorporating these changes as their current agreements expire.

100 100 POSTAL BULLETIN ( ) INFORMATION DESK Postal Inspection Service Physical Access Control System Standardization Program The Postal Service has many facilities with various types of the electronic physical access control system (PACS) installed. Since the PACS components for these facilities have been supplied by many different vendors over time, Postal Service facilities are now in a noncentralized, stove-piped PACS environment. The present situation does not allow for Postal Service facilities to communicate access control user privileges with each other, resulting in security risks and inefficient system administration of its PACS. The PACS standardization program seeks to: Create a centralized PACS environment to facilitate effective communication of access control privileges among Postal Service facilities. Prepare the Postal Service for meeting the physical security requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 by ensuring the acquisition of approved card readers. Mitigate information technology security risks. Create an efficient environment for PACS administration for system users. Any PACS new installation, upgrade, or replacement must: Adhere to Postal Service Handbook AS-503, Standard Design Criteria. Adhere to Postal Service MMOS specification Section 13701, Access Control System. Be coordinated among a working group of representatives from Information Technology, the Postal Inspection Service, and Facilities. PACS hardware reader controllers must be Ingersoll Rand/Schlage Security Management System Model SRCNX Reader Controller; no substitutions are allowed through the end of fiscal year For additional information about the Schlage Security Management System Model SRCNX Reader Controller, go to: securitymanagementsystem.schlage.com/documents/ hardware_srcnx.pdf. If the project requires a replacement or addition of access control card readers, the readers must be dualtechnology readers. These readers must be HSPD-12-compliant and can be found on the GSA Federal Information Process Standard approved products list found at Any computer hardware or software related to PACS, including user workstations and printers, must be approved and acquired through Postal Service Information Technology to meet the appropriate information technology security and support requirements. At this time, new PACS installation, upgrade, or replacement projects do not require the acquisition of additional computer server and workstations since the required Ingersoll Rand/Schlage PACS controllers can interface directly with the Postal Service information technology infrastructure. The Postal Service PACS Standardization Program is the responsibility of the following: PROGRAM MANAGER PHYSICAL SECURITY UNITED STATES POSTAL INSPECTION SERVICE 475 L ENFANT PLAZA SW SUITE 3600 WASHINGTON DC Security Group, Postal Inspection Service,

101 INFORMATION DESK POSTAL BULLETIN ( ) 101 Safety Fire Prevention Week 2007: October 7 13 Practice Your Escape Plan! is the theme of Fire Prevention Week 2007, sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an international nonprofit organization that provides information on fire, electrical, and building safety. The message for 2007: It s not enough to have a home fire escape plan. To escape safely, you ve got to make sure that everyone in the home has practiced the plan. According to an NFPA poll, most Americans have a fire escape plan, but they haven t practiced it. NFPA has posted a wide variety of materials for Fire Prevention Week on its Web site, including information and activity suggestions for fire departments, teachers, children and families, and people with disabilities. You can even take an online quiz to test your home escape planning know-how! The Postal Service encourages managers, employees, and safety professionals to use the NFPA materials when preparing local Fire Prevention Week presentations or activities. The materials may not be used for commercial purposes, but fire departments, civic groups, and workplaces are encouraged to copy and distribute them. Fire Prevention Week provides us all with an opportunity to identify and correct conditions at work and at home that may cause fires and tragic losses. Safety and Environmental Performance Management, Employee Resource Management, Supply Management 2008 Year Type for Hand Stamp and Canceling Machines The Material Distribution Center (MDC) will automatically deliver the 2008 year type for hand stamp and canceling machines to all Postal Service facilities that received 2007 year types for hand stamps and canceling machines.
