First-Class Metered Mail – Short Paid Mail Sampling Worksheet
The First-Class Metered Mail – Short Paid Mail Sampling Worksheet lists the total number of shortpaid pieces in the mailing sample, as well as the postage due.  It also provides the information in percentages of shortpaid pieces to total pieces sampled.   That percentage is used to extrapolate the number of shortpaid pieces in the entire mailing and the resultant postage due for that mailing.  Figure 5- 10 shows the worksheet.
