Postal Rate Case, Act IV, and Still Counting
Another quick update in this ongoing saga: If you haven’t already done so, you can still add your voice to those asking the Postal Regulatory Commission to reconsider its decision on new Standard Flat Mail rates. The deadline for public comment has been extended to Friday, May 4. The Direct Marketing Association recommends that concerned businesses contact their Congressional Representatives and to send letters to the following:
Fax your letter to the Postal Regulatory Commission:
The Honorable Dan G. Blair, Chairman, Postal Regulatory Commission
Fax: (202) 789-6886
Fax a copy of your letter to:
The Honorable James C. Miller III, Chairman, Board of Governors, United States Postal Service
Fax: (202) 268-5472; and
The Honorable John E. Potter, Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer, United States Postal Service
Fax: (202) 268-4860
In a related development, several industry organizations (the USPS, the Direct Marketing Association, the Association for Postal Commerce, the Mail Order Association of America, and the Parcel Shippers Association have asked that implementation of the proposed new Standard Regular and Nonprofit Mail rates be delayed until July 15 so that mail users don’t have to face two sets of changes in case the Board of Governors does decide to change the proposed rates.
