Introduction On February 25, 2016, the Postal Service, in accordance with Order No. 1926, filed notice of its intention to remove the exigent surcharge from existing rates on Sunday, April 10, 2016.1 The removal date is based on the Postal Service’s estimate that the surcharge-related revenue limitation will be reached on Saturday, April 9, 2016, as well as past practice with respect to rate changes and other implementation considerations. Id. at 2–4. The Notice includes Attachment A, which updates the Market Dominant section of the Mail Classification Schedule with the prices that will take effect upon removal of the exigent surcharge. Id. Attachment A at 1. The Postal Service represents that the Commission approved these prices in Docket No. R2015–4.2 The Postal Service states that the prices were made available to mailers on Postal Explorer and RIBBS on February 5, 2016. Notice at 4. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. Commission Action Establishment of public comment period. The Commission acknowledges that the removal of the exigent surcharge does not meet the definition of any of the typical Type 1 rate adjustments identified in 39 CFR part 3010. Because this removal is a followon from a previous Type 3 rate adjustment, the rules applicable to the annual limitation are not applicable to this rate adjustment. However, the Commission finds it appropriate to provide a period of 20 days from the date of the Postal Service’s filing for public comment, consistent with Type 1 rate adjustments. See 39 CFR 3010.11(a)(5). Comments by interested persons are due no later than March 16, 2016. Commenters may address the consistency of the prices and product descriptions in Attachment A to the Notice with the prices and product descriptions in the Attachment to Order No. 2472, and any other relevant issues concerning the Postal Service’s filings. 1 See Notice of the United States Postal Service of Removal of the Exigent Surcharge, February 25, 2016 (Notice). The Postal Service conditions removal on the absence of Congressional action or the courts making the exigent surcharge part of the base rate or extending it. Notice at 1. 2 Id.
