PRC cuts USPS' rate increases

Article Abstract:

The Postal Rate Commission recently urged for a one-third reduction in the proposed $2.4 billion rate increase of the U.S. Postal Service, citing that the postal service miscalculated its need for an increase. The PRC, which also suggested that the increase not take effect until January 1999, is pushing to cut the rate to $1.7 billion to mark the benefits of lower-than-expected inflation since the request was filed in July 1998. Most direct mailers reportedly regarded PRC's recommendations as good news. Meanwhile, parcel shippers aired their satisfaction on PRC's acceptance of the USPS proposal to institute new worksharing discounts and deepen the current ones based specifically on new analyses of transportation costs.
