Service Performance Measurement, June 25, 2010 (Request); see also
Order Establishing Final Rules Concerning Periodic Reporting of
Service Performance Measurements and Customer Satisfaction, May 25, 2010, at 22 (Order No. 465).
Rule 3055.3 provides the Postal Service an opportunity to request that a product, or component of a product, be excluded from service performance measurement reporting upon demonstration 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 seeks semi-permanent exceptions for Standard
Mail High Density, Saturation, and Carrier Route Parcels, Inbound
International Surface Parcel Post (at UPU Rates), hard-copy Address
Correction Service, various Special Services, Within County
Periodicals, and various negotiated service agreements. Request at 1.
The Commission establishes Docket No. RM2010-11 for consideration of matters related to the proposed semi-permanent exceptions from periodic reporting of service performance measurement identified in the
Postal Service's Request.
Interested persons may submit comments on whether the Postal
Service's Request is consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3652(a)(2) and 39 CFR 3055.3. Comments are due no later than July 16, 2010. The Postal Service's Request can be accessed via the Commission's
