Postal Regulatory Commission Releases Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Justification

The Postal Regulatory Commission submitted its Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget Justification to the Postal Service Board of Governors. Members of the Commission unanimously approved the budget. This marks the third budget request for the Commission under the Postal Service Reform Act- Title 39, United States Code, Section 205.

The Commission’s request of $25,400,000 of annual funding for FY2025 supports a total Commission requirement of $28,644,000 and is in line with its role as the primary regulator providing critical oversight, transparency, and expert reporting and analyses on the Postal Service. The remaining $3.264 million would come from a Commission reserve fund and the Technology Modernization Fund.

The Commission recently added a new office of Budget and Finance that will serve as a strategic partner for the Commission to plan, execute, and manage fiscal resources necessary for the successful execution of its mission as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Senate Gets Into the Postal Reform Game; Has Strong Bipartisan Support (piworld.com)

On the heels of last week’s House action on postal reform, the Senate this week got into the game by introducing companion legislation, the Postal Reform Act of 2021, to address USPS financial, service and transparency reforms. This bipartisan legislation, led by Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Gary Peters (D-MI) and Ranking Member Rob Portman (R-OH), is substantively identical to the legislation of the same name that was approved by the House Oversight Committee last week. The bill was introduced with strong bipartisan co-sponsorship, including nine Democrats and eight Republicans, which bodes well for committee passage and – eventually – 60 votes on final passage. Like its House counterpart, the Act focuses on key financial reforms that have been long-sought by the printing and mailing industry, including: 1) elimination the onerous retiree pre-funding requirement; and 2) integrating postal retirees’ health care into Medicare. According to Senator Portman, these two reforms alone would save $45.9 billion in savings for USPS over the next 10 years.
