To date, only one change has been made to the abbreviations issued in 1963. In November 1969, at the request of the Canadian postal administration, the two-letter abbreviation for Nebraska, originally NB, was changed to NE, to avoid confusion with New Brunswick in Canada. A current, complete list of abbreviations, including U.S. territories and street designations, is available online at www.usps.com/ship/official-abbreviations.htm.
