3 Id.; see Docket No. N2021–2, Advisory Opinion 

on the Service Standard Changes Associated with 

First-Class Package Service, September 29, 2021. 

The Postal Service intends to implement the general 

reduction in the First-Class Package Service

general promotion of Retail Ground and Parcel 

Select Ground standards. Notice at 2 n.4. 

4The Commission may consider whether to 

extend the 90 days for a decision based on good

the proposal would align competitive 

products (within the contiguous United 

States) service standards, specifically by 

raising Retail Ground and Parcel Select 

Ground standards to the level of the 

First-Class Package Service standard. 

Notice at 2–3. The First-Class Package 

Service standard is planned to be 

reduced from a 2-to-3 day standard to a 

2-to-5 day standard and was the subject 

of a Commission advisory opinion 

issued September 29, 2021.3 With 

regard to the improved standards for 

Retail Ground and Parcel Select Ground, 

the Postal Service submits that 

‘‘customers would benefit from a lowcost, medium-speed, shipping service 

for packages in excess of one pound.’’

notes that the parcel market has seen 

significant recent growth and is 

expected to continue to grow. Id. 

The Postal Service must file its formal 

request for an advisory opinion with the 

Commission at least 90 days before 

implementing any of the proposed 

changes. 39 CFR 3020.112.4 This formal 

request must certify that the Postal 

Service has made good faith efforts to 

address the concerns raised at the prefiling conference and meet other content 

requirements. 39 CFR 3020.113. After 

the Postal Service files the formal 

request for an advisory opinion, the 

Commission will set forth a procedural 

schedule and provide additional 

information in a notice and order that 

will be published in the Federal 

Register. 39 CFR 3020.110. Before 

issuing its advisory opinion, the 

Commission must provide an 

opportunity for a formal, on-the-record 

hearing pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556 and 

557. 39 U.S.C. 3661(c). The procedural 

rules in 39 CFR part 3020 apply to
