Summary

The Postal Service proposes to amend its Postage Evidencing Systems regulations. These changes would put the financial responsibility for returned checks and returned Automatic Clearinghouse (ACH) debit payments on the applicable resetting company (RC) and PC Postage provider. These responsibilities would include collecting a fee from the customer for each returned check and ACH debit payment of $30, as may be adjusted from time to time, and remitting the amount of the returned check or ACH debit payment, as applicable, plus the fee to the Postal Service within 10 calendar days of the date of the invoice. These changes would also update the SSAE 18 requirements and add the requirement for System and Organization Control (SOC) 2 reporting.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
