PRC rejects USPS effort to shut down public inquiry into Delivering for America

In its motion, the Postal Service had argued that the Commission was acting outside of its authority in establishing the public inquiry. “The Commission should use established mechanisms to ensure adequate oversight, consistent with its past decisions and its statutory authority,” wrote the Postal Service. “An open-ended PI docket that encompasses review of all possible initiatives under the Plan is wholly unnecessary, unwarranted, and contrary to the Commission’s statutory authority.”
