Exhibit 322.312b

Form 3849

• 322.32 Redelivery of Parcels Except as provided in 322.312a, make a second attempt only if requested by the addressee. If the redelivery request is made using Form 3849, take the form back to the office and give it to the accountable mail clerk. The carrier will receive the parcel from the accountable mail clerk on the day the addressee requested redelivery. If delivery is not made on the second attempt and the addressee did not authorize the parcel to be left, leave Form 3849, with the Final Notice block checked. Endorse the parcel to show a final notice was left and return the parcel to the designated place for holding undelivered parcels.

• 323.1 Description Delivery of mail on park and loop routes is basically the same as for foot routes with relays. The vehicle is used as a movable relay box from which the carrier withdraws a substantial amount of mail, placing the mail into his satchel before beginning the route. Delivery is then made to one side of the street up to a certain location, and then on the other side of the street (looping) back to the vehicle for additional relays, parcel post delivery and/or moves to the other park points.
   
• 323.2 Parking Points and Route Patterns
   
• 323.21 Route patterns are set up to provide for as few vehicle moves as possible. The ideal location for parking points is at an intersection of two streets where four relays may be carried without the need for a vehicle move. Many
