Rulemaking Docket Number | Summary of Proposed Rules |
| RM2024-4 | The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeks comment on the Commission’s review of the system for regulating rates and classes for Market Dominant products (ratemaking system). The Commission previously reviewed the ratemaking system and adopted final rules via Order No. 5763. After the final rules took effect on January 14, 2021, the Postal Service filed five notices proposing to adjust rates for Market Dominant products, and Market Dominant volume and pieces have declined year-over-year. These declines and stakeholder concerns prompted the Commission to initiate another review of the ratemaking system. |
| RM2024-9 | The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeks comment on the Commission’s review of the accuracy, reliability, and representativeness of the Postal Service’s Internal Service Performance Measurement (SPM) System. SPM produces service performance results that are an amalgamation of granular and siloed evaluations of performance for the individual segments of mail collection (First Mile), mail processing (Processing Duration), and mail delivery (Last Mile). Given recent changes in operations and mail mix, the Commission has concerns about the continued validity of the design and implementation of each of these three systems, as well as how the systems function collectively as a whole. |
