Although it is possible for the public
to submit the nominations through
regular or express mail, recently very
few submissions have been received in
this manner. The majority of recent
submissions have been through
electronic mail. Therefore, we estimate
one mailing per year within the next 3
years at a rate of 49 cents for a total
postage cost of $1.47.
