Postal Regulatory Commission August 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commission is issuing a set of final rules addressing the price cap for market dominant price adjustments. Adoption of the rules follows a review of comments on proposed rules. In brief, proposed rules that generated no opposition have been adopted. Proposed rules that raised easily-resolved questions have been modified, as appropriate, and adopted. Action on proposals that generated significant opposition (such as the treatment of service reductions and promotional and incentive rates) has been deferred in the interest of additional research and analysis. Adoption of these rules will facilitate consideration of market dominant postal rate adjustments.
