The Mail Preparation and Entry Steering Committee is a joint Industry/USPS workgroup established to review opportunities that will better align mail preparation and entry requirements in the current and future state.

The Charter of the Mail Preparation and Entry Steering Committee is to identify and implement mail preparation and entry solutions to eliminate non-value added mailing requirements, increase efficiencies to contain costs and drive service improvements for the mailing industry and Postal Service.

A goal of the Committee is to assess and prioritize short-term solutions that can be implemented quickly, allowing for incremental changes; while also identifying and strategically considering forward-thinking, long-term solutions.
