Image Information:
PCC (Us Postal Service Postal Customer Council) Logo in far right corner.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
First, I would like to start with the goal of the Postal Service which is to provide the tools necessary to make the right decision consistently.
As illustrated on this slide, we believe that roughly 98% of the time the proper classification of the mail can be easily determined.  
We also recognize that roughly 2% of the time it is difficult to make this determination.  
In fact, it is only natural that there are some difficult decisions and that is why we have an appeal process.  
However, we believe that over time, as precedent decisions are issued, the number of “difficult decisions” will decrease.
Our goal is to help you understand this clarification to Standard Mail eligibility and provide tools to assist you.

' inside it.
Image Information:
PCC (Us Postal Service Postal Customer Council) Logo in far right corner.
End of Image information. 

Notes:
Once it has been determined that the mailpiece contains “personal information,” you should exercise the first step in the three-step process for determining Standard Mail eligibility, which is asking the question: “Is there explicit advertising for a product or service for sale or lease, or an explicit solicitation for a donation?”
A “yes” response to this question means that, from review of the contents of the mailpiece, it is clear that the piece is advertising the sale or lease of a product or service, or soliciting a donation.

Notes:
CSR PS-323 and PS-324 are informational tools that aid in the determination of the three-part test.  They also provide examples of what is and what is not considered "personal information."
