Saturation and High Density Standard Mail Incentive Program Validation Process Update. When the Saturation and High Density Standard Mail Incentive Program application deadline was extended, the original date by which applicants must accept or dispute threshold volumes and permits (March 15, 2011) became invalid. As a result, the process is still ongoing. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks, program applicants will receive a threshold and permit validation communication. Applicants who disagree with any portion of their USPS-calculated threshold must complete the threshold inquiry form and submit supporting evidence no later than the date that will be provided on the threshold and permit validation communication. For questions about this process, contact the Saturation and High Density Standard Mail Incentive Program Office at SaturationHDIncentive@usps.gov.
