PRC Invites Comments on USPS Proposed Measurement Systems

The Postal Regulatory Commission today invited interested parties (through a "Notice Of Request For Comments On Service Performance Measurement Systems For Market Dominant Products") to comment on the Postal Service's proposed service performance measurement systems for assessing the service performance of various market dominant products.

The USPS proposed measurement approaches include using an expanded version of its External First-Class measurement system to measure single-piece First-Class Mail, Delivery Confirmation for parcels, and a hybrid system for presort letters and flats that rely on Intelligent Mail Barcode scans and independent third-party reporters.

Comments are due January 7, 2008.
