IMM AND PUBLICATION 51 REVISIONS
Effective July 22, 2004, the International Mail Manual (IMM) and Publication 51, International Postal Rates and Fees, are revised to reflect the availability of insurance for airmail parcel post items to Ethiopia, with a maximum insurance indemnity limit of $1,000.

REMINDER
Canada Post has informed us that some mailers are failing to prepare International Priority Airmail (IPA) letter and flat mail as specified in the International Mail Manual (IMM). As noted in the IMM, mailers must place IPA letter and flat mail to Canada in trays - mailers cannot place such mail in sacks.
Postal ServiceTM acceptance unit clerks must identify any mail that is not prepared according to the IMM specifications and must have the mailer prepare it correctly before accepting it.
To remind mailers and acceptance personnel of the specifications, we are including the applicable IMM text with this article.

The Postal ServiceTM will issue a 2-cent, Navajo Jewelry definitive stamp (Item 107200) in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 on August 20, 2004, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The stamp, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, goes on sale nationwide August 21, 2004.
Inaugurated in 2002 with the American Toleware stamp, the American Design series showcases beautiful works of American art and crafts. The 2002 issuance featured American Toleware followed by American Clock and Tiffany Lamp (2003), and Chippendale Chair (2004).
For this fifth issuance in the American Treasures series, artist Lou Nolan painted a detail of a Navajo silver and turquoise necklace with sand-cast squash blossoms set with polished blue turquoise nuggets. Mr. Nolan based his painting on a photograph by Peter T. Furst. The necklace itself belongs to a private collector.

STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 04-26
The Postal ServiceTM will issue 37-cent, Art of the American Indian commemorative stamps (Item 457300) in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) souvenir sheet of 10, in 10 designs on August 21, 2004, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The stamps, designed by Richard Sheaff of Scottsdale, Arizona, go on sale nationwide August 22, 2004. This $3.70 souvenir sheet may not be split, and the stamps may not be sold individually.
This pane of 100 jumbo stamps offers a sampling of the diverse ways in which American Indians, in their everyday lives, created utilitarian, social, spiritual, and commercial objects that were also extraordinary expressions of beauty. The pane features photographs of 100 American Indian artifacts dating from around the 11th century A.D. to circa 1969. John Stevens, a calligrapher in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, designed and created the lettering in the title. Descriptive text on the back provides an overview and information about each of the 10 objects.
The first-day-of-issue ceremony will take place at 11 A.M. on August 21, 2004, at the Santa Fe Indian Market. This annual event sponsored by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) includes 1,200 artists from 100 tribes. The event attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors to Santa Fe from all over the world and is where Native American art meets the world. The stamp's issuance is also in anticipatory celebration of the September 2004 opening of the National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall in Washington, DC.
The stamps will also be issued in a set of stamped cards (Item 884500).

[Revise the title and text of section 221.2 in its entirety to read as follows:]
221.2 Repair and Replacement of Vehicles
221.21 Vehicles Requiring Extensive Repair
Due to cumulative age and wear or extensive body damage, some vehicles might require considerable maintenance investment before being restored to operational service. Before authorizing extensive repairs, the district's manager of vehicle maintenance (MVM) must confirm with the functional customer that the vehicle is essential to operations. Additionally, the MVM must determine if the vehicle can be replaced with an existing surplus vehicle, or if it can be replaced more economically with a rented or leased vehicle until a permanent replacement is identified or acquired.
221.211 Scheduled Service Life and Maintenance Reinvestment
Before initiating any extensive vehicle repair, including a repair for major fire or body damage, vehicle maintenance facilities (VMFs) must assess maintenance reinvestment using PS Form 4587, Request to Repair, Replace, or Dispose of Postal- Owned Vehicle, in conjunction with Exhibit 221.211. The MVM and the district manager (DM) or the DM's designee (excluding vehicle maintenance employees) must concur on any decision to exceed the maintenance reinvestment guidelines in Exhibit 221.211.
