Competitive Products Price Changes
This document announces the Postal Service's filing of a notice of price changes for certain competitive (shipping) products and invites public comment.

Thus, deferral allows this relationship to be maintained. Changes for the competitive products identified in the Postal Service's notice are scheduled to occur on May 11, 2009, which coincides with anticipated changes for market dominant products.
