US regulator invites delivery cut feedback
The US Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) is inviting public feedback on cutting Saturday deliveries. The Postal Service proposal to end carrier street address delivery, collection at blue collection boxes and most originating mail processing on Saturdays in the United States, is currently under consideration.
“This is one of the most significant changes the Postal Service has ever presented to the Commission. The Postal Service is required to ask the Commission for an Advisory Opinion on any change in nationwide service that it proposes,” said Ruth Y Goldway, Commission chairman.
Among key questions to be answered are: “Will the savings the Postal Service anticipates be as significant as they estimate? Will mail volume decline more than the Postal Service anticipates? Will businesses and citizens have service that remains adequate to meet their needs? And will the national economic impact of service reductions offset or add to the savings that are proposed?
Residents have been asked to share their views, via the Commission web site, at www.prc.gov
