You're referring to the DMM 601, which stands for Domestic Mail Manual 601, specifically addressing the mailability of Federal agencies.

- Free Matter for the Blind or Other Physically Handicapped Persons: Federal agencies can mail free matter for the blind or other physically handicapped persons without postage, as long as the mailpiece is properly prepared and meets the requirements outlined in DMM 601.1.2.
- Official Business Mail: Federal agencies can mail official business correspondence and documents without postage, as long as they meet the requirements outlined in DMM 601.1.3. This includes mail sent to or from Federal employees, contractors, or grantees.
- Certified Mail: Federal agencies can use certified mail to send official business correspondence and documents, which provides proof of mailing and delivery.
- Return Receipt Requested: Federal agencies can request a return receipt for official business mail, which provides proof of delivery.
- Special Handling: Federal agencies can request special handling for official business mail, such as expedited delivery or signature upon delivery.
To take advantage of these privileges, Federal agencies must follow the guidelines outlined in the DMM and ensure that their mailpieces are properly prepared and addressed.
