With each mailing submitted at an automation-based rate, a mailer must submit a completed USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report). You can submit the original USPS Form or the facsimile generated by your program. Finalist produces a facsimile of USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report) and partially completes it for you. For additional information on the USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report), see the USPS Domestic Mail Manual (DMM).
