Rate Case Moves Forward 

On April 8, 2005, we filed the R2005-1 escrow rate case to raise prices 5.4 percent for almost all categories of mail. Today, the Postal Rate Commission (PRC) issued its Opinion and Recommended Decision.

The Governors will review the PRC’s Opinion and Recommended Decision and, if approved, the Board of Governors will set the implementation date for the new prices and fees. The complete Opinion and Recommended Decision is available on the PRC Web site at www.prc.gov.

We’ll keep you updated.
