Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC)

The Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee (CSAC) is a U.S. Postal Service body appointed by the Postmaster General to review and recommend stamp subjects for public consideration.

• Established in 1957
• CSAC meets quarterly. 
• Meetings are closed and confidential
• There are currently 11 members 
• The Postal Service welcomes suggestions for stamp subjects that celebrate the American experience.
• Stamp subject selection include eleven criteria  
  • 50 years is a significant time term for many criteria 
  • U.S. postage stamps and stationery will primarily feature American or American-related subjects. Other subjects may be considered if the subject had significant impact on American history, culture or environment.
  • The stamp program commemorates positive contributions to American life, history, culture and environment; therefore, negative occurrences and disasters will not be commemorated on U.S. postage stamps or stationery.
  • Stamps may be issued for the six active-duty branches – Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force. This includes Reserve/Guard components of the current organizational structure. Stamps for the major service academies will be considered on a case-by-case basis for 50-year anniversaries (or multiples thereof).
• The Postal Service issues approximately 35 stamps each year; a small percentage of those stamp designs are created by artists new to stamp design.
• The U.S. Postal Service copyrights all stamp designs  For information and permission, please visit the rights and permissions page.
