• Added ASM section 662.1, to describe the requirements of the licensing program as it relates to Postal Service employees making official purchases of merchandise that display a Postal Service trademark, stamp design, or other pictorial or graphic image that the Postal Service owns or uses.
• Added ASM section 662.2 to provide the definition of officially-licensed merchandise.
• Included a licensing handbook for Postal Service employees who work in the field [ Licensing: Field Handbook of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ] and a list of the Postal Service's licensees, which will be updated monthly in the Postal Bulletin.
