Sec. 501.10  Meter approval.

    As provided in Sec. 501.13, the manufacturer has a duty to report 
security weaknesses to the Postal Service to ensure that each meter 
model and every meter in service protects the Postal Service against 
loss of revenue at all times. A grant of approval of a model does not 
constitute an irrevocable determination that the Postal Service is 
satisfied with the revenue-protection capabilities of the model. After 
approval is granted to manufacture and distribute a meter, no change 
affecting the basic features or safeguards of a meter may be made except 
as authorized or ordered by the Postal Service in writing.
