When sending notification letters by certified mail or using the certificate of mailing service, is the remediating party required to submit return receipts to the Department?
When notification letters are sent using certified mail, return receipts are not required to be submitted to the Department. However, a remediating party should retain the return receipt(s) for their records, should they ever need to document that notification letters were sent. The United States Postal Service (USPS) certificate of mailing service does not provide the option of a return receipt. If the certificate of mailing service is used, the remediating party should retain any forms prepared for use by the USPS.
