The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has issued a ruling that denies the USPS’s request to begin zone-based (rather than origin-entry-based) pricing for Marketing Mail and Outside County Periodicals.
The head of the Postal Service’s regulatory agency is stepping down, after challenging some of the more controversial parts of a 10-year USPS reform plan.
PRC noted that the Public Representative* called the temporary increase a method by which the USPS extracts revenues “by twisting the financial screws on the wallets of holiday participants” and said he hoped the USPS could focus more on reducing costs.
The Postal Service’s Board of Governors is urging its regulator not to put limits on its ability to set higher mail prices, after posting another multibillion-dollar quarterly net loss.
The objective of our audit was to determine whether the PRC followed all applicable laws, regulations, and policies around employee compensation and benefits.
The Postal Service is falling into pattern raising stamp prices each January and July. But its regulator is considering limits to those price increases.
