Postal Service Responds to Postal Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Opinion on Service Standard Changes

The Postal Service today provided a pointed response to the Postal Regulatory Commission’s (PRC) recently published Advisory Opinion on the organization’s proposed service standard changes: PRC Docket No. N2024-1, captioned “Operational and Service Standards to Meet Statutory Requirements for Reliable, Efficient High-Quality Service and Financial Sustainability Through an Integrated Mail and Package Network”.

An excerpt of the response cover letter from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to PRC Chairman, Michael Kubayanda follows:

“I must say that I was confounded by the Commission’s dismissal of cost savings of nearly $4 billion a year as “meager”, while characterizing service standard changes that are carefully designed and modest in impact within the current service standard day ranges as a “severe degradation” in service that must be avoided at all costs.
