The PRC’s Public Inquiry into the Delivering for America plan began back in April. The Postal Service tried to it shut down before it even started, arguing that reviewing the DFA was outside the Commission’s jurisdiction. The Commission went forward nonetheless, but thus far it has made only two requests for information, and they have not yielded much that we didn’t already know.
The Commission’s questions have generally focused on issues that could indicate that a formal Advisory Opinion process is warranted. These include matters like post office closings and reducing retail hours, projected cost savings, lists of impacted facilities, and the possibility that the S&DC network discriminates against those who live too far from a Sorting & Delivery Center to enjoy its benefits.
