You must submit your article as follows:

To create a clearance memo, go to the PolicyNet Web site via http://blue.usps.gov; under “Essential Links” on the left, click on References, then in the blue sidebar on the left, click on Clearance.

- If the article provides information on how readers can order directives, forms, or supply items from the Material Distribution Center (MDC), contact Topeka Operations.
Contact the MDC in Topeka, KS, if your Postal Bulletin article references the availability of directives, forms, or supply items that are stocked at that facility. Verify the ordering information in your article with Topeka Operations at least 10 business days before submitting the final copy of the article to the Postal Bulletin editor.
