I. Introduction
In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3641
and 39 CFR part 3045, the Postal Service
filed notice of its intent to conduct a
market test of an experimental product
called Extended Mail Forwarding.1 The
Postal Service states that currently,
when residential and commercial postal
customers move, they may file a
permanent Change of Address (COA)
request for the forwarding of mail
addressed to their old address to the
new address for one year. Notice at 1.
After one year, mail bearing the
customer’s old address is returned to
sender or wasted. Id. at 2. Extended
Mail Forwarding will provide customers
who submit a permanent COA request
with the option of extending forwarding
of all First-Class Mail, First-Class
Package Service Commercial, and
Priority Mail pieces beyond the one year
period for a fee. Id. The Postal Service
intends for the market test to run for two
full years beginning on August 1, 2020.

AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Commission is noticing a
recently filed Postal Service proposal to
conduct a market test of an
experimental product called Extended
Mail Forwarding. This notice informs
the public of the filing, invites public
comment, and takes other
administrative steps.
DATES: Comments are due: June 30,
2020.
SUMMARY:
Submit comments

On June 8, 2020, the Postal Service
filed the Notice proposing the Extended
Mail Forwarding market test. The Postal
Service asserts that Extended Mail
Forwarding will ensure customers
receive mailpieces for which they are
the intended recipient and which is
more essential than ever before in light
of the Coronavirus-19 pandemic. It
states that customers will exercise
greater control over their mail
forwarding expiration dates with more
time to update and communicate with
their mailing contacts. Id. The Postal
Service also asserts that Extended Mail
Forwarding will provide cost savings for
the Postal Service because the cost of
forwarding is less than the cost of
handling Undeliverable as Addressed
mailpieces. Id. at 4.
The Postal Service states that
Extended Mail Forwarding will be

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 115 / Monday, June 15, 2020 / Notices
available to customers when they
submit their permanent COA request.
After that time, customers would be able
to request and pay for Extended Mail
Forwarding either up until the end date
of the market test, or within 18 months
of submitting their initial COA request,
whichever comes first. Id.
The Postal Service states that
Extended Mail Forwarding will be
tested in nine postal districts
throughout the country that represent a
cross-sample of COA requests by
volume according to 2019 data. Id. at 3.
Customers submitting permanent COA
requests in these districts during the
market test will be eligible to participate
in the market test. Id.
The Postal Service plans to offer
initial pricing for Extended Mail
Forwarding of $19.95 for one 6-month
extension, $29.95 for two 6-month
extensions, and $39.98 for three 6month extensions. Id. at 2. Any
customer who signs up initially for one
or two extensions for $19.95 or $29.95
would be able to request additional
extensions up to a total of three 6-month
extensions for $19.95 for each
extension. Id.

III. Compliance With Legal
Requirements
The Postal Service asserts that the
proposed market test meets the
requirements in 39 U.S.C. 3641 and 39
CFR part 3045. First, the Postal Service
explains that Extended Mail Forwarding
is ‘‘significantly different from all
products offered by the Postal Service
within the last two years’’ as required by
39 U.S.C. 3641(b)(1). Id. at 4. The Postal
Service states that Extended Mail
Forwarding is ‘‘critically different’’ from
the Premium Forwarding Service
competitive product because Extended
Mail Forwarding is associated with a
permanent COA request enabled by the
Postal Automated Redirection System
(PARS). Premium Forwarding Service is
first delivered to the address on the
mailpiece, then repackaged and
inducted back into the postal network
for delivery to the forwarding address.
Id.
The Postal Service also asserts that
the proposed service is ‘‘significantly
distinct’’ from Commercial P.O. Box
Redirect Service because that service
will be available only to Commercial
P.O. Box customers to redirect
automated First-Class Mail letters to a
P.O. Box with Caller Service using a
different postal system. Id. at 5. Thus,
the Postal Service asserts that Extended
Mail Forwarding, while it may be
considered similar to Commercial P.O.
Box Redirect Service, will service a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
significantly different market with
different cost characteristics. Id.
Second, the Postal Service asserts that
Extended Mail Forwarding ‘‘will not
create an unfair or otherwise
inappropriate competitive advantage for
the Postal Service or any mailer’’ as
required by 39 U.S.C. 3641(b)(2). Id. The
Postal Service states that all individuals,
families, and businesses who are
currently eligible to file a permanent
COA request moving from or into one of
the test districts may participate. Id.
The Postal Service asserts that
because only it forwards mail under a
permanent COA request, no other
business offers a similar product or
service. It also asserts that Extended
Mail Forwarding will have no impact on
small business concerns except to
provide them with the option of
extending their forwarding requests if
they permanently change addresses. Id.
Third, the Postal Service states that
Extended Mail Forwarding is properly
categorized as market dominant as
required by 39 U.S.C. 3641(b)(3). Id.
IV. Data Collection
To better understand the results of the
market test, the Postal Service asserts
that it will collect the following data on
a quarterly basis: Number of extension
requests, number of customers, ratio of
individuals, families, and businesses,
volume of mailpieces forwarded, and
revenues. Id. at 6. The Postal Service
also states that it will collect data on the
attributable costs of Extended Mail
Forwarding, including administrative
costs. Id.
V. Notice of Commission Action
The Commission establishes Docket
No. MT2020–2 to consider matters
raised by the Notice. The Commission
invites comments on whether the Postal
Service’s filing is consistent with the
requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3641 and 39
CFR part 3045. Comments are due no
later than June 30, 2020. The filing can
be accessed via the Commission’s
website (https://www.prc.gov).

Commission to represent the interests of
