AREA MAIL PROCESSING (AMP) FEASIBILITY STUDY
Frederick MD P&DF to Baltimore MD P&DC

August 3, 2011

A functional review of the Frederick MD Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposal is complete.  The proposal recommends transferring destinating mail processing operations from the Frederick MD Processing and Distribution Facility (P&DF) for ZIP Code 217 to the Baltimore MD Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).  The proposal, which has a projected annual savings of $4,212,479 with one-time costs not to exceed $483,367, has been approved.  Implementation of this AMP is expected to be completed by January 2012.

The Postal Service must continually evaluate the opportunity to improve productivity and increase efficiency while maintaining excellent service.  The transfer of mail processing operations provides significant savings and allows us to accomplish our goal of making better use of our resources.
