n The average daily DPS letter volume from the latest mail count (when all DPS mail is received in a raw, unprocessed state or all DPS mail is improperly processed requiring casing), or
n The actual piece count (when 125 or more pieces require casing) multiplied by (x) 0.0465 minutes per piece equals (=) additional minutes payment.
Additional payment procedures will be the same as outlined in Article 9.2.N of the National Agreement between the USPS-NRLCA.
Note: Carriers should notify their manager immediately when they receive DPS letter mail requiring casing. If a manager is not readily accessible, carriers should note the number of DPS letter pieces they are required to case and report it to their manager at the first opportunity.
