III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On October 1, 2014, the Postal Service 

filed a request for a semi-permanent 

exception from periodic reporting of 

service performance measurement for 

Alaska Bypass Service pursuant to 39 

CFR 3055.3.1

Section 3055.3 provides that the 

Postal Service may request that a 

product, or a component of a product, 

be excluded from service performance 

measurement reporting upon 

demonstrating that: 

1. The cost of implementing a 

measurement system would be 

prohibitive in relation to the revenue 

generated by the product, or component 

of a product; 

2. The product, or component of a 

product, defies meaningful 

measurement; or 

3. The product, or component of a 

product, is in the form of a negotiated 

service agreement with substantially all 

components of the agreement included 

in the measurement of other products. 

The Postal Service contends that the 

cost of implementing a measurement 

system would be prohibitive in relation 

to the revenue generated by Alaska 

Bypass Service and thus falls within the 

39 CFR 3055.3(a)(1) exclusion. Request 

at 9–11.
