In a press release, published by Window Book on March 12, the following statement was made:

"The USPS is making system changes on May 18, 2009 and the resources will be stretched to their fullest. Therefore, they are suspending Intelligent Mail® CAT and Parallel testing applications as of March 31, 2009 until resources once again become available.It means if the mailers have not started their application for CAT and parallel testing by March 31, 2009, they may NOT be able to participate in the USPS Intelligent Mail® Full Service solution in November 2009." This statement is incorrect.

The Full Service option requires electronic documentation provisioning via Mail.dat 09-1 or the Postage Statement Wizard. PostalOne! will be ready to accept Full Service Mail.dat and Postal Wizard files upon implementation of Full Service which is scheduled for deployment on May 18, 2009. The Postal Service is fully committed and ready to support any mailer that wishes to migrate to Full Service after the scheduled Full Service deployment date of May 18. For information on how you can participate in the Full Service program, reference the Electronic Documentation and Intelligent Mail: Ready, Set, Go! guide located on ribbs.usps.gov at the following URL: http://ribbs.usps.gov/intelligentmail_guides/documents/tech_guides/eDocandIntelligentMailReadySetGov1_7.pdf
