Can someone remind me when the final date is to send Kodachrome 40 for pre-paid processing in the yellow mailer? Thanks.

That's quite simple to answer since there is no "US lab": The only lab in this universe that is certified to do Super8-Kodachrome is Kodak's Swiss lab.

Dwayne's (in the US) can process Super8-Kodachrome, too, but it's neither certified by Kodak (for Super8) nor honours Kodak's prepaid-processing.
At least Dwane will be able to process all Kodachromes (incl. Super8) unless Kodak provides the chemicals. (= at least for the next two-three years, since the 35mm-kodachrome-slides are still in production).

Here's the link to Kodak's press-release:
