---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ United States Postal Service Request for Semi-Permanent
Exception from Periodic Reporting of Service Performance
Measurement, September 30, 2010 (Request); see also Docket No.
RM2009-11, Order Establishing Final Rules Concerning Periodic
Reporting of Service Performance Measurements and Customer
Satisfaction, May 25, 2010, at 22 (Order No. 465).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 3055.3 provides the Postal Service an opportunity to request
that a product, or component of a product, be excluded from service
performance measurement reporting upon demonstration that:
1. The cost of implementing a measurement system would be
prohibitive in relation to the revenue generated by the product, or
component of a product;
2. The product, or component of a product, defies meaningful
measurement; or
3. The product, or component of a product, is in the form of a
negotiated service agreement with substantially all components of
the agreement included in the measurement of other products.
The Postal Service explains that Applications and Mailing Permits
comprise nothing more than a transaction intended to establish or renew
permission to enter bulk mailings. The Postal Service contends that
this service defies meaningful measurement and falls within the 39 CFR
3055(a)(2) exception from reporting of service performance
measurements. Request at 3.
The Commission establishes Docket No. RM2010-14 for consideration
of matters related to the proposed semi-permanent exception from
periodic reporting of service performance measurement identified in the
Postal Service's Request.
Interested persons may submit comments on whether the Postal
Service's Request is consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C.
3652(a)(2) and 39 CFR 3055.3.\2\ Comments are due no later than October
15, 2010. The Postal Service's Request can be accessed via the
Commission's Web site (http:www.prc.gov).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Those who cannot submit comments by the filing deadline
should contact Mr. Sharfman.
