View Rule

The Commission issues this advance notice of proposed rulemaking under 39 U.S.C. 3622(d)(3) to seek input from the public about what additional regulations promulgated by the Commission may be necessary to achieve the objectives of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act over the longer-term, particularly related to maximizing incentives to increase efficiency and reduce costs, maintaining high-quality service standards, and assuring financial stability (including retained earnings). In this rulemaking the Commission explores whether and how to introduce any potential modifications to the design of the ratemaking system that would further enhance (i.e., maximize over the longer-term) the Postal Service’s incentives to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
