Description

The Postal Service proposes amending its regulations for Postage Evidencing Systems to reflect existing practices and operational realities. The proposal addresses situations where a resetting company advances customers more funds in a day than its daily average funds-advanced amount on deposit with the Postal Service. It would require the resetting company to maintain a deposit of at least one day’s average funds advanced and transfer the net amount advanced for a given day by the morning of the next business day. Comments are due December 14, 2026.
