Postal Rate Commission January 17, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document addresses adding a definition of the term ``postal service'' to the rules of practice. This change is prompted by the Postal Service's action with respect to nonpostal initiatives. There is often controversy and uncertainty regarding the postal character of the services provided under those initiatives. The definition provides guidance to the Postal Service and the general public concerning services that are subject to sections 3622 and 3623 of the Postal Reorganization Act.
