SCHEDULE FOR REGULAR AND PREDICTABLE RATE ADJUSTMENTS

(December 29, 2023)

Rule 3030.102 requires the Postal Service to maintain a Schedule for Regular and

Predictable Rate Adjustments with the Postal Regulatory Commission. Consistent with Rule 

3030.102, the Postal Service hereby files its updated Schedule, as appended hereto. As 

indicated therein, and subject to the approval of the Governors, the Postal Service intends to 

next adjust Market Dominant prices in July 2024.

As required by Rule 3030.102, the appended Schedule provides estimated filing and 

implementation dates for future rate adjustments over the next three years and provides 

information sufficient to predict the amounts of those future rate adjustments. In addition, the 

Postal Service plans to file updated pricing schedules each year when it publishes its Annual 

Compliance Report in December.

Schedule for Regular and Predictable Rate Adjustments – Effective through Calendar 

Year 2026 

Subject to the approval of the Governors, the Postal Service next expects to implement 

price changes for all Market Dominant classes on July 14, 2024, with the filing occurring in April 

2024. The Postal Service intends to be judicious in the use of available pricing authority, but 

anticipates the prospect that the price change for each Market Dominant class may be required 

to apply most or all pricing authority available on the date of filing, given our legal obligation to 

be financially self-sufficient and our current progress under the Delivering for America Plan to 

improve customer service and to achieve significant cost savings through operational precision 

and efficiency, consistent with the fundamental goals of the Plan to provide service excellence 

while also achieving financial sustainability. 

Likewise subject to the approval of the Governors, the Postal Service expects that, in 

each subsequent year, it will implement price changes for all Market Dominant classes in

January and July of such year, with the filings occurring the preceding October and April, 

respectively. The Postal Service intends to be judicious in the use of available pricing authority

in these subsequent years depending on the success of the initiatives we are pursuing to grow 

revenue through improved product offerings and service, to improve efficiency and to reduce 

costs, but anticipates the possibility that the price adjustment for each Market Dominant class 

may be required, and that we may be compelled to apply most or all pricing authority available 

at the time of filing if the above-described initiatives do not result in sufficient improvement in our 

financial condition.
