Attachment–Summary of Market Tests 

I. Introduction 

The Commission proposes to establish 

rules governing market tests of 

experimental products to implement the 

requirements of the standards for market 

tests established by Congress in 39 

U.S.C. 3641. 

II. Statutory Authority 

The Postal Accountability and 

Enhancement Act (PAEA) 1 authorizes 

the Postal Service to conduct market 

tests of experimental products. See 39 

U.S.C. 3641(a)(1). Such tests are not 

subject to 39 U.S.C. 3622, 3633, or 3642, 

or regulations promulgated thereunder. 

Id. 3642(a)(2). An experimental product 

may not be tested unless it satisfies each 

of the following conditions: 

• Significantly different product: The 

product is, from the viewpoint of the mail 

users, significantly different from all 

products offered by the Postal Service within 

the 2-year period preceding the start of the 

test. 

• Market disruption: The introduction or 

continued offering of the product will not 

create an unfair or otherwise inappropriate 

competitive advantage for the Postal Service 

or any mailer, particularly in regard to small 

business concerns. 

• Correct categorization: The Postal 

Service identifies the product, for the 

purpose of a test, as either market-dominant 

or competitive. 

39 U.S.C. 3641(b). 

The Postal Service must file notice 

with the Commission and publish the 

notice in the Federal Register at least 30 

days before initiating a market test. Id. 

3641(c)(1). The notice must describe the 

nature and scope of the market test and 

explain why the Postal Service believes 

that the market test is covered by 

section 3641. Id. 3641(c)(1)(A) and (B).
