Publisher statements due to USPS Oct. 1
Annual USPS statement of ownership filings are due at your local post office by Oct. 1. According to the National Newspaper Association, the information provided on Form 3526 allows the Postal Service to determine whether publications meet the standards of Periodicals mailing privileges.
The required information also must appear in an issue of the publication whose primary mailed distribution is produced:
1. Not later than Oct. 10 for dailies and semi-weeklies;
2. Not later than Oct. 31 for all weeklies and less-frequently (but more frequently than monthly).
