Copying While you have these forms at hand, please fax or email a copy to HSPA for use in verify- ing your circulation for HSPA membership eligibility, contest eligibility and HSPA directory information. The fax number is (317) 624- 4428, and email can be sent to Yvonne Yeadon at yyeadon@ hspa.com. PostalOne! is not possible this year due to internal USPS programming deadlines, so all submissions must be hard- copy 3526 or 2526-R, plus X for electronic subs. • Reporting of electronic subscriptions is optional. And if you fall below 60 percent paid average percentage on the 3526 or 3526-X, an outside audit is required. USPS will not audit electronic subscriptions. • You may count paid website access subscriptions as well. But note that total website access given to print subscribers cannot be counted twice. New forms are expected to be available for Oct. 1, 2013, which will make the use of the X form unnecessary.
