SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal

Service and the Periodicals industry are

concerned over recent upward trends in

the costs associated with processing

Periodicals mail and have been studying

ways to reverse these trends. Several

ideas have come out of mutual

discussions involving representatives

from the Postal Service and the

Periodicals industry. Cost models

suggest that we can reduce handling

costs for Periodicals by requiring sacked

nonletter-size mail to be prepared in a

manner that will reduce the number of

sacks prepared and handled, and
