Domestic MailDMM REVISION

Changes in Bulk Parcel Return ServiceEffective October 3, 1999, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM)

S924 is amended to provide for changes in the Bulk ParcelReturn Service (BPRS). These changes will allow properly en-dorsed Standard Mail (A) machinable parcels to be returned tothe original mailer as part of BPRS when recipients haveopened, resealed, and redeposited the parcels in the mail with-out paying additional postage, and it is impracticable or in-efficient for the Postal Service to seek payment of return post-age from the recipient. These changes also allow mailers theoption to provide at their own expense a label with a barcodethat can be used by recipients when returning a parcel to a pre-viously designated postal facility.

The Postal Service requested these changes to improve ouroperational efficiency when BPRS parcels are returned to themailstream without the payment of postage after being openedby a recipient. The use of an optional label on a BPRS parcelwill clearly indicate that the parcel is being returned as BPRS atthe expense of the original mailer.

Other changes in S924 have been made to clarify existingBPRS procedures and requirements.

These revisions will appear in the next printed version of theDMM and are included in the monthly update of the online DMMavailable via Postal Explorer (http://pe.usps.gov).

Insured MailEffective October 7, 1999, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM)

R900 and S900 are revised to clarify the differences in treat-ment of insured parcels. Parcels insured for $50.00 or less aregiven a special elliptical marking to distinguish them, but they donot receive an insured number. Parcels that are insured formore than $50.00 must have Form 3813-P, Receipt for InsuredMail — Domestic-International, affixed and are assigned aninsured number. Form 3813-P must not be used with parcelsinsured for $50.00 or less.

If a mailer is authorized to use a privately printedForm 3813-P, it must be used only with parcels insured for morethan $50.00. Insured numbers may not be used for parcels in-sured for $50.00 or less. Mailers who produce manifests formailings must properly report insured numbers in conformancewith these requirements. Software vendors have been advisedof the need to bring their products into compliance.

These revisions will appear in the next printed version of theDMM and are included in the monthly update of the online DMMavailable via Postal Explorer (http://pe.usps.gov).

Bulk Parcel Return Service Opened and Returned Parcels: Fact Sheet and Questions and Answers

On August 31, 1999, the Board of Governors approved thePostal Rate Commission’s recommendation to allow for the re-turn of opened and resealed Bulk Parcel Return Service(BPRS) parcels without the payment of additional postage incertain circumstances. This change will become effective onOctober 3, 1999.

The change allows properly endorsed Standard Mail (A)machinable parcels to be returned to the original mailer as partof the Bulk Parcel Return Service when parcels that have beenopened, resealed, and redeposited into the mail by the recipient(1) bear a mailer-supplied BPRS return label or (2) are found inthe mailstream without additional postage or a BPRS returnlabel, and it is impracticable or inefficient to return the parcel tothe recipient for payment of return postage.

The change does not allow recipients to bypass applyingpostage when returning an opened and resealed parcel to themailer (unless using a BPRS return label). However, it does pro-vide that should such a parcel be found in the mailstream itwould be returned to the original mailer as part of BPRS, andnot returned to the recipient for additional postage or sent to theMail Recovery Center.

This service applies only to properly endorsed BPRSStandard Mail (A) machinable parcels and not to other classesof mail or to other Standard Mail (A) parcels.

Look for the BPRS return label:

Or look for the following endorsements on parcelsfound in the mailstream:

“Return Service Requested — BPRS”“Address Service Requested — BPRS”

Questions & AnswersQ. What is Bulk Parcel Return Service?

A. A method whereby high-volume parcel mailers have(undeliverable-as-addressed) Standard Mail (A) machinableparcels returned at a flat fee of $1.75 per parcel.

Q. How do mailers qualify for Bulk Parcel Return Service?

A. A mailer must be able to demonstrate receipt of at least10,000 returned Standard (A) machinable parcels at a givendelivery point per year and be authorized by the Postal Serviceto use BPRS. Payment for returned BPRS parcels is madethrough a centralized advance deposit postage due account.

Q. What, exactly, is changing?

A. Currently the $1.75 flat fee applies only to undeliverable-as-addressed BPRS returns. The change will allow the PostalService, in certain circumstances, to treat opened, resealed,and redeposited parcels properly endorsed as BPRS as part ofthe BPRS return mailstream.

Q. What are the benefits?

A. This is a winner for everyone. Recipients can be providedlabels that will allow them to return merchandise at the expenseof the original mailer. They can give parcels with the labelsattached to their letter carrier, drop them in a collection box, ortake them to a retail outlet. The BPRS mailer benefits from astreamlined accounting system and a more reliable method ofgetting returns back. The Postal Service benefits from improvedefficiency by eliminating rehandling of the parcels. Opened andresealed BPRS parcels found in the mailstream, even withoutreturn labels, may be returned directly to the original mailerwhen sending them back to the recipient for payment of post-age would be impracticable or inefficient.

Q. Why isn’t a similar service available to Standard Mail (B)parcel shippers?

A. There are at least two important differences betweenStandard Mail (B) and Standard Mail (A) parcels that must beconsidered. First, BPRS, which has been available for high-volume Standard Mail (A) machinable parcel returns sinceOctober 12, 1997, is based on a per-piece fee not dependenton weight or zone. With Standard Mail (B), multiple weightsranging from one pound to 70 pounds and multiple zones donot allow for a cost-effective flat rate or fee. Second, there wasno pre-paid return service of any kind available at Standard Mail(A) rates. With Standard Mail (B), parcel shippers have mer-chandise return service available to facilitate returns from theircustomers at Standard Mail (B) rates. Other issues related to re-turn of Standard Mail (B) are being considered by the PostalService for possible future enhancements.

Postal EmployeesHANDBOOK EL-802 REVISION

Safety Guidance for ManagementAdded to Handbook EL-802, Executive’s and Manager’s

Safety Compliance Guide, is new guidance for responding toOSHA inspections — a section of annotated excerpts fromOSHA Publication 3000, Employer Rights and ResponsibilitiesFollowing an OSHA Inspection.

Handbook EL-802 was issued earlier this year to helpexecutives and managers improve safety compliance and dealwith the OSHA inspections. Chapter 5, “Dealing With OSHA,”contains three sections of excerpts — one section from OSHAPublication 2098, OSHA Inspections; one section concerningpolicy and responsibilities from the Employee and Labor

Relations Manual; and the new section, “What to Do Followingan OSHA Inspection.”

The new section can be found as revision pages on pages79–87 of this Postal Bulletin. The section can also be down-loaded from a reformatted online version of the handbookfound on the Policies and Procedures home page at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim or on the Human Resources home page athttp://blue.usps.gov/hrisp.

The C Fund is invested in the Barclays Equity Index Fund,which tracks the S&P 500 stock index. The F Fund is invest-ed in the Barclays U.S. Debt Index Fund, which tracks theLehman Brothers Aggregate Bond index. Because of ex-penses and changing balances in the C and F Funds, theirreturns vary from Barclays’ returns. The G Fund is invested inspecial issues of U.S. Treasury securities.

Future performance of the three funds will vary and may dif-fer significantly from the returns shown above. See the“Summary of the Thrift Savings Plan” for detailed informationabout the funds and their investment risks.

The monthly C, F, and G Fund returns represent net earningsafter deduction of accrued administrative expenses. The Cand F Fund returns also reflect the deduction of trading costsand accrued investment management fees.

The C, F, and G Fund monthly returns are dollar-weighted:they reflect net earnings on the changing balances investedduring the month. The C, F, and G Fund returns for the last 12months assume, except for the crediting of earnings, un-changing balances (time-weighting) from month to month andthat earnings are compounded on a monthly basis.

Handbook PO-208, Retail Operations — Focus on RetailHandbook PO-208, Retail Operations — Focus on Retail, is

revised to include information on PC Postage� as follows.

Handbook PO- 208, Retail Operations — Focus onRetail

* * * * *

9 Initiatives

* * * * *[Add new 926 as follows.]

926 PC Postage � Products

926.1 General

PC Postage� products allow customers to use their personalcomputers to purchase and print postage directly on envelopesor labels for domestic First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, ExpressMail, Parcel Post or other Standard B Mail classes (i.e., BoundPrinted Matter, Library Mail, Special Standard Mail, and Pack-ages). Note: In the future, PC Postage will become availablefor international mail. Through its Information Based IndiciaProgram (IBIP), the U.S. Postal Service establishes certainsecurity standards and performance criteria by which commer-cially developed products are evaluated and authorized for dis-tribution as PC Postage products. The term “PC Postage” is atrademark owned by the U.S. Postal Service. Customersshould look for the official USPS PC Postage trademark (seebelow) to identify those products that have been evaluated andauthorized by the Postal Service. Various companies have de-veloped PC Postage products to meet U.S. Postal Servicesecurity and interface requirements. They will be authorized fordistribution as PC Postage products after complete testing andevaluation by the Postal Service. For a list of PC Postage prod-ucts and providers see http://www.usps.com/ibip.

926.2 Information Based Indicia (IBI)

926.21 General

The postage printed by PC Postage products is referred to as“Information Based Indicia” (IBI), which is a digital indicium or“electronic stamp.” This technology of conveying digital infor-mation on the mailpiece directly supports the U.S. PostalService objective of an information-rich mail stream. An IBIcontains two types of information:

a. Readable Information. This information includes thepostage amount, mail class, date of mailing, device iden-tification number, and town or licensing post office.

b. Two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional bar-code encodes readable, as well as other security, infor-mation. It also includes a “digital signature” that is uniqueto each mail piece, which helps the Postal Service todetect fraudulent postage.

926.22 Placement Information

Like other forms of postage evidencing, the IBI is printed in theupper right hand corner of an envelope. It may also be printedon a label and affixed to an envelope or package.

926.23 Postage Payment

The postage paid to the Postal Service using PC Postage prod-ucts is the same as paying for any other form of postage for fullrate mail. PC Postage can be used only on pieces that aremailed at regular single piece rates; no discounts for presortingor other work-sharing activities are currently available.

926.4 Sample Information Based Indicia (IBI)

Samples of all information based indicia (IBI) currently ap-proved for postage evidencing, including those authorized fornational distribution and those still in field test (at date of issue),are shown in exhibit 926.4.


The following two indicia have been authorized for national distribution:

E-Stamp CorporationE-Stamp� Internet Postage

Stamps.com, Inc.Stamps.com Internet Postage�

The following four indicia are in field test:

Neopost Inc.PC Stamp�

Important Note: ...Employers and employees in the [approved plan states] thatoperate OSHA-approved workplace safety and health plans should check with theirstate agency. Their state may be enforcing standards and other procedures that,while “at least as effective as” federal standards, are not always identical to thefederal requirements. For example:

� Some states have different options and procedures for the employer who[disagrees with a citation or penalty];

� Although Federal OSHA recommends that employers... establishcomprehensive workplace safety and health programs, some states requiresuch programs; and

� In state plan states, an employee who believes he/she has been discriminatedagainst pursuant to Section 11[c] of the OSH Act is entitled to file a complaintalleging discrimination under both state and federal procedures.

[Comment: The U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration, is coordinating with state agencies to determine which, if any, willelect to include the Postal Service in their respective state plans. For calendar year



1999, no states have opted to include the Postal Service. Check with Safety andHealth to determine state authority.]

[Types of Violations]

Willful: A willful violation is defined as a violation in which the employer knew that ahazardous condition existed but made no reasonable effort to eliminate it and inwhich the hazardous condition violated a standard, regulation, or the OSH Act.Penalties range from $5,000 to $70,000 per willful violation, with a minimum penaltyof $25,000 for a willful serious violation....

Serious: A serious violation exists when the workplace hazard could cause anaccident or illness that would most likely result in death or serious physical harm,unless the employer did not know or could not have known of the violation. Amandatory penalty of up to $7,000 for each violation is proposed.

Repeated: An employer may be cited for a repeated violation if that employer hasbeen cited previously for a substantially similar condition and the citation hasbecome a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Acitation is viewed as a repeated violation if it occurs within 3 years either from thedate that the earlier citation becomes a final order or from the final abatement date,whichever is later. Repeated violations can bring a fine of up to $70,000 for eachsuch violation.

* * *A VIOLATION CAN BE CITED AS REPEATED IF THE EMPLOYER HAS BEENCITED FOR THE SAME VIOLATION ANYWHERE IN THE NATION WITHIN THEPAST 3 YEARS.

Other: A violation that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but is notserious in nature, is classified as “other.”

* * *[Posting Requirements]

When you receive a Citation and Notification of Penalty, you must post the citation(or a copy of it) at or near the place where each violation occurred to makeemployees aware of the hazards to which they may be exposed. The citation mustremain posted for 3 working days or until the violation is corrected, whichever islonger. (Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays are not counted as workingdays.) You must comply with these posting requirements even if you contestthe citation.

The abatement certification documents..., like citations, must be posted at or nearthe place where the violations occurred. For moveable equipment found to be inviolation and where the posting of the violations would be difficult or impractical, theemployer has an option to identify the equipment with a “Warning” tag specified inthe Abatement Verification regulation 29 CFR 1903.19.[I].

[All citations must also be entered into the Citation Management System for trackingpurposes.]

* * *



[Employer Options]

As an employer who has been cited, you may take either of the following courses ofaction:

1. If you agree to the Citation and Notification of Penalty, you should correct thecondition by the date set in the citation and pay the penalty, if one is proposed;[or]

2. If you do not agree, you have 15 working days from the date you receive thecitation to contest in writing any or all of the following:

� Citation,

� Proposed penalty, and/or

� Abatement date.

* * *Before deciding on either of these options, you may request an InformalConference with the OSHA Area Director to discuss any issues related to theCitation and Notification of Penalty.

[Note: Always request an informal conference in coordination with HeadquartersSafety and Health and the Law Department.]

* * *

[How to Comply]

For violations you do not contest, you must (1) promptly notify the OSHA AreaDirector by letter that you have taken appropriate corrective action within the timeset forth in the citation, and (2) pay any penalties itemized therein. [See the OSHA 2Form, under Notification of Corrective Action in Tab 7.]

* * *The penalties itemized on the Citation and Notification of Penalty are payable within15 working days of receipt of the penalty notice. If, however, you contest the citationor penalty in good faith, abatement and payment of penalties for those itemscontested are suspended until the Occupational Safety and Health ReviewCommission reviews your case and issues a final order. The Review Commission isan independent agency and is not a part of the U.S. Department of Labor. The finalorder of the Commission will either uphold, modify, or eliminate the citations and/orpenalties. Penalties for items not contested, however, are still due within 15 workingdays.

[See the Appendix for an Invoice/Debt Collection Notice.]

[Comment: Coordinate all responses to OSHA with Headquarters General Counseland Safety and Health.]

* * *



[Informal Conference and Settlement]

Before deciding whether to file a Notice of Intent of Contest , you may request aninformal conference with the OSHA Area Director to discuss the Citation andNotification of Penalty.

You may use this opportunity to do any of the following:

� Obtain a better explanation of the violations cited;

� Obtain a more complete understanding of the specific standards that apply;

� Negotiate and enter into an Informal Settlement Agreement;

� Discuss ways to correct violations;

� Discuss problems concerning the abatement dates;

� Discuss problems concerning employee safety practices;

� Resolve disputed citations and penalties, (thereby eliminating the need for themore formal procedures associated with litigation before the reviewCommission); and

� Obtain answers to any other questions you may have.

You are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to have an InformalConference if you foresee any difficulties in complying with any part of the citation.Please note, however, that an Informal Conference will neither extend the 15working day Notice of Intent to Contest period nor take the place of the filingof a written notice if you desire to contest . Employee representative(s) have theright to participate in any Informal Conference or negotiations between the RegionalAdministrator or Area Director and the employer.

If you agree that the cited violations do exist, but you have a valid reason for wishingto extend the abatement date(s), you may discuss this with the Area Director in anInformal Conference. He or she may issue an amended citation that changes theabatement date prior to the expiration of the 15 working day period without yourfiling a Notice of Intent to Contest.

If you do not contest within 15 working days, the citation will become a final order....After this occurs, the OSHA Area Director may continue to provide you withinformation and assistance on how to abate the hazards cited in your citation, butmay not amend or change any citation or penalty which has become a final order.The Area Director may only advise you on abatement methods or extend the timeyou need to abate the violation. (See Petition for Modification of Abatement.)

[Comment: Coordinate all citations with Headquarters General Counsel and Safetyand Health.]

* * *

[How To Contest]

If you wish to contest any portion of your citation, a Notice of Intent to Contest mustbe submitted in writing within 15 working days after receipt of the Citation andNotification of Penalty even if you have orally stated your disagreement with acitation, penalty, or abatement date during a telephone conversation or an InformalConference.



A Notice of Intent to Contest must clearly state what is being contested — thecitation, the penalty, the abatement date, or any combination of these factors. Inaddition, the notice must state whether all the violations on the citation, or justspecific violations, are being contested. (For example, “I wish to contest the citationand penalty proposed for items 3 and 4 of the citation issued June 27, 1990.”)

Your contest must be made in good faith. A contest filed solely to avoid yourresponsibilities for abatement of payment of penalties will not be considered agood-faith contest.

A proper contest of any item suspends your legal obligation to abate and pay untilthe item contested has been administratively resolved. If you contest only thepenalty, you must still correct all violations by the dates indicated on the citation. Ifonly some items on the citation are contested, the other items must be corrected bythe abatement date and the corresponding penalties paid within 15 days of thenotification.

After you file a Notice of Intent to Contest, your case is officially in litigation. If youwish to settle the case, you may contact the OSHA Area Director who will give youthe name of the attorney for OSHA handling your case. All settlements of contestedcases are negotiated between you and the attorney according to the rules ofprocedure of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

[Notices of Contest will be issued only by the General Counsel.]

* * *

[The Contest Process]

If the written Notice of Intent to Contest has been filed within the required 15 workingdays, the OSHA Area Director forwards your case to the Occupational Safety andHealth Review Commission. The Commission assigns the case to an administrativelaw judge who usually will schedule a hearing in a public place close to yourworkplace. Both employers and employees have the right to participate in thishearing which contains all the elements of a trial, including examination andcross-examination of witnesses. You may choose to represent yourself or berepresented by an attorney. [See below.] The administrative law judge may affirm,modify, or eliminate any contested items of the citation or penalty.

As with any other legal procedure, there is an appeals process. Once theadministrative law judge has ruled, any party to the case may request a furtherreview by the full Review Commission. In addition, any of the three commissionersmay, on his or her own motion, bring the case before the entire Commission forreview. The Commission’s ruling, in turn, may be appealed to the U.S. Court ofAppeals for the circuit in which the case arose or for the circuit where the employerhas his or her principal office.

[Comment: Postal Service attorneys will be appointed to contest citations.]

* * *



[Petition for Modification of Abatement]

Abatement dates are assigned on the basis of the best information available at thetime the citation is issued. When you are unable to meet an abatement datebecause of uncontrollable events or other circumstances, and the 15 working daycontest period has expired, you may file a Petition for Modification of Abatement(PMA) with the OSHA Area Director.

This petition must be in writing and must be submitted as soon as possible, but nolater than 1 working day after the abatement date. To show clearly that you havemade a good-faith effort to comply, the PMA must include all of the followinginformation before it can be considered:

� Steps you have taken in an effort to achieve compliance, and dates they weretaken;

� Additional time you need to comply;

� Why you need additional time;

� Interim steps you are taking to safeguard your employees against the citedhazard(s) until the abatement;

� A certification that the petition has been posted, the date of the posting and,when appropriate, a statement that the petition has been furnished to anauthorized representative of the affected employees. The petition must remainposted for 10 working days, during which employees may file an objection.

A PMA may be granted or opposed by the OSHA Area Director. If it is opposed, itautomatically becomes a contested case before the Review Commission. If a PMAis granted, a monitoring inspection may be conducted to ensure that conditions areas they have been described and that adequate progress toward abatement hasbeen made. Further information on PMAs may be obtained from the OSHA AreaOffice.

[Coordinate all PMA activities with the Headquarters General Counsel and Safetyand Health.]

* * *

[Employee Courses of Action]

Employees or their authorized representatives may contest any or all of theabatement dates set for violations if they believe them to be unreasonable. A writtennotice of Intent to Contest must be filed with the OSHA Area Director within 15working days after the employer receives the citation.

* * *

[Followup Inspection and Failure to Abate]

If you receive a citation, a followup inspection may be conducted to verify that youhave done the following:

� Posted the citation as required,

� Corrected the violations as required in the citation, and/or

� Adequately protected employees and made appropriate progress in correctinghazards during multistep or lengthy abatement periods.



In addition to providing for penalties for failure-to-post citations and failure-to-abateviolations, the OSH Act clearly states that you have a continuing responsibility tocomply with the OSH Act and assure your employees of safe and healthful workingconditions. Any new violations discovered during a followup inspection will be cited.

To achieve abatement by the date set forth in the citation, it is important thatabatement efforts be promptly initiated.

[See section on Notification of Corrective Action in the OSHA-2 Form.]

* * *

[Employer Discrimination]

The OSH Act prohibits employers from discharging or otherwise discriminatingagainst an employee who has exercised any right under this law, including the rightto make safety and health complaints or to request an OSHA inspection. Complaintsfrom employees who believe they have been discriminated against will beinvestigated by OSHA. If the investigation discloses probable violations of employeerights, court action may follow.

Employees who believe they have been discriminated against must file theircomplaints within 30 days of the alleged act of discrimination. To obtain furtherinformation on this matter, employees may contact OSHA and inquire about Section11[c] procedures.

* * *

[Providing False Information]

All information reported to OSHA by employers and employees must be accurateand truthful. Providing false information on efforts to abate cited conditions or inrequired records is punishable under the OSHA Act [referred to courts for criminalaction].

[Comment: Coordinate all 11[c] investigations with Headquarters General Counseland Safety and Health.]
