Under what condition can the postmaster cancel a Firm Holdout?

The option indicating that the postmaster can cancel a Firm Holdout when mail pieces fall below 50 pieces each day for a 30-day period is accurate because it establishes a clear threshold for assessing the viability of the Firm Holdout service. A Firm Holdout is designed for businesses or organizations that expect to receive a consistent volume of mail. If the volume decreases significantly and consistently over a specified timeframe, it may indicate a lack of need for this service.

By specifying a drop below 50 pieces per day sustained over 30 days, this condition ensures that the service is appropriately aligned with the actual mailing needs. It allows for an assessment of the long-term mail volume rather than making decisions based on short-term fluctuations, which could lead to premature cancellations of services that might still be beneficial if the mail volume rebounds.

In contrast, other conditions presented do not adequately reflect a long-term assessment necessary for evaluating the appropriate continuation of the Firm Holdout service.
