        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Section 401 of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act requires the Secretary of the Treasury to develop recommendations for accounting practices and principles that will govern the operation of the Postal Service's Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax to be imposed on competitive products' income.  On December 19, 2007, the Secretary of the Treasury submitted the report and its recommendations to the Postal Regulatory Commission concerning accounting principles and practices for the operation of the Postal Service's Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax to be imposed on competitive products income.  Title 39 U.S.C. section 2011(h) requires the Commission to give the public the opportunity to comment on that report and tasks it with the responsibility to develop regulations to establish the accounting practices and principles to govern the operation of the Competitive Products Fund and rules for determining the assumed Federal income tax on competitive products' income.  This regulation fulfills the Commission's statutory responsibility to prescribe rules and regulations concerning accounting principles and practices for the operation of the Competitive Products Fund and the determination of an assumed Federal income tax on competitive products' income.]]></ABSTRACT>
