FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

31, 2021, the Postal Service filed a 

notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 3055.5, 

proposing modifications to its market 

dominant service performance 

measurement systems.1 The systems 

that are the subject of this proceeding 

were approved for implementation on 

July 5, 2018, in Docket No. PI2015–1.2

The most recent version of the Postal 

Service’s Service Performance 

Measurement (SPM) Plan was filed in 

May 2019.3 Accompanying the Notice is 

a library reference, which contains a 

copy of the United States Postal Service, 

Service Performance Measurement plan, 

revised August 31, 2021 (both redline 

and clean versions).4

The Postal Service’s proposed 

modifications add reporting for 3-day, 4- 

day, and 5-day service standards for 

First-Class Mail, in place of the current 

3–5-day service standard. Notice at 1. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

purpose of this change is to align service 

performance reporting with upcoming 

service standard changes which are to 

take effect on October 1, 2021. Id. The 

Postal Service also proposes replacing 

certain references to external SPM with 

internal SPM, consistent with Order No. 

5576.5

Interested persons are invited to 

comment on the Postal Service’s 

proposed modifications concerning the 

service performance measurement 

systems. However, commenters are 

reminded that the scope of this docket 

is limited to the Postal Service’s 

proposed revisions to the SPM Plan, not 

the propriety of the underlying service 

standard changes, which the 

Commission addressed in Docket No. 

N2021–1.6 Comments are due 

September 17, 2021. The Commission 

does not anticipate the need for reply 

comments at this time. The Commission 

intends to evaluate the comments 

received and use those suggestions to 

help carry out its service performance 

measurement responsibilities under the 

Postal Accountability and Enhancement 

Act. Material filed in this docket will be 

available for review on the 

Commission’s website, http://

www.prc.gov. 

It is ordered:

for the purpose of considering the Postal 

Service’s proposed modifications to its 

market dominant service performance 

measurement systems. 

2. Interested persons may submit

of the Postal Service’s proposals no later 

than September 17, 2021. 

3. Christopher Mohr is designated to 

represent the interests of the general 

public in this docket. 

4. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this Notice in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.
