III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. 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.

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. See Docket No. R2015–4, Order on Revised
Price Adjustments for Standard Mail, Periodicals,
and Package Services Products and Related Mail
