practice to provide a more in-depth 

analysis of the Postal Service’s progress 

toward meetings its performance goals 

and plans to improve performance in 

future years. To facilitate this review, 

the Commission invites public comment 

on the following issues: 

• Did the Postal Service meet its 

performance goals in FY 2018? 

• Do the FY 2018 Report and the FY 

2019 Plan meet applicable statutory 

requirements, including 39 U.S.C. 2803 

and 2804? 

• What recommendations should the 

Commission provide to the Postal 

Service that relate to protecting or 

promoting public policy objectives in 

title 39? 

• What recommendations or 

observations should the Commission 

make concerning the Postal Service’s 

strategic initiatives? 3

• What other matters are relevant to

2018 Report and the FY 2019 Plan
