SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Regulatory History: 75 FR 40853 (July 14, 2010). On May 24, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued its opinion in United States Postal Service v. Postal Regulatory Commission, 640 F.3d 1263 (D.C. Cir. 2011). The court denied in part and granted in part a Postal Service petition for review of the Commission’s September 30, 2010 order denying a Postal Service request for an exigent rate adjustment under 39 U.S.C. 3622(d)(1)(E).1 640 F.3d at 1268. On July 11, 2011, the court issued its mandate remanding the case to the Commission.

On July 6, 2010, the Postal Service filed a request for an exigent rate adjustment pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3622(d)(1)(E).3 This was the first such request filed by the Postal Service. The Exigent Request alleged that ‘‘extraordinary or exceptional circumstances’’ had occurred—namely, the recent recession and related declines in mail volume—and that the Postal Service was entitled to an exigent rate adjustment. Id. at 6. After holding public hearings and considering initial and reply comments filed by the Postal Service and other interested persons, the Commission issued Order No. 547 denying the Postal Service’s Exigent Request. The Commission analyzed the plain meaning of ‘‘due to’’ in section 3622(d)(1)(E), interpreting the phrase as requiring that a ‘‘proposed adjustment * * * be causally related to the alleged extraordinary or exceptional circumstance.’’ Order No. 547 at 54. The Commission found that the recent recession and its impact on postal 1 Order Denying Request for Exigent Rate Adjustments, September 30, 2010 (Order No. 547). 2 Section 3622(d)(1)(E) provides in relevant part as follows: ‘‘[R]ates may be adjusted on an expedited basis due to either extraordinary or exceptional circumstances, provided that the Commission determines * * * that such adjustment is reasonable and equitable and necessary to enable the Postal Service, under best practices of honest, efficient, and economical management, to maintain and continue the development of postal services of the kind and quality adapted to the needs of the United States.’’ (emphasis added). 3 Exigent Request of the United States Postal Service, July 6, 2010 (Exigent Request).
