SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 
                    *International Mail Manual*
                     was issued on April 17, 2011, and was updated with postal bulletin revisions through June 2, 2011. It replaced all previous editions. This issue of the IMM removes the issue number, replacing it with the issue date to mirror the format used for the 
                    *Domestic Mail Manual*
                     (DMM®). It also continues to enable the Postal Service to fulfill its long-standing mission of providing affordable, universal mail service. It continues to: (1) increase the user's ability to find information; (2) increase the users' confidence that they have found the information they need; and (3) reduce the need to consult multiple sources to locate necessary information. The provisions throughout this issue support the standards and mail preparation changes implemented since the version of May 11, 2009. The 
                    *International Mail Manual*
                     is available to the public on the Postal Explorer® Internet site at
