Mailing Standards of the United States Postal

Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM)

*****

600 Basic Standards for All Mailing Services

601 Mailability

1.0 General Standards

[Renumber current 1.1 through 1.6 as new 1.2 through 1.7.

Add new 1.1 to read as follows:]

1.1 Determining Mail Processing Categories

There are five mail processing categories for mailpieces:

letter, flat, machinable parcel, irregular parcel, and outside

parcel. We assign each mailpiece to one of these catego-

ries based on the physical dimensions and characteristics

of the mailpiece, regardless of the placement or orientation

of the delivery address on the piece. You will find the physi-

cal standards for processing categories in 101 for retail

(single-piece rate) mail, 201 for discount letters, 301 for dis-

count flats, and 401 for discount parcels. [C050.1.0]

NOTICE

Sharps Medical Waste Container No Longer Accepted

Effective immediately, Mailing Standards has revoked

Stericycle, Inc., authorization for sharps medical waste

container USPS-050-A (2-2G-V2). Mailing Standards has

also revoked authorization for SCS Corporation’s identical

sharps medical waste container USPS-052-A (2-2G-V2),

and GRP & Associates, Inc.’s, medical waste container

USPS-058J (GRP 2-2G).

Postal Servicet employees must not accept containers

bearing the model numbers listed above. If containers are

identified already in the mailstream, set them aside and

contact the addressee to pick them up. If customers ask

why we are refusing to accept the container, tell them it is

no longer considered mailable and they should contact the

appropriate manufacturer.

Authorization for this particular container was revoked

because testing revealed that the container did not satisfy

all required packaging standards.

This notice applies only to the model numbers identified

above. Stericycle, SCS, and GRP manufacture and distrib-

ute other authorized sharps medical waste containers.

These containers should continue to be accepted for mail-

ing by the Postal Service.
