Our objective was to assess the Postal Serviceâs FirstâClass Mail and Priority Mail service performance since fiscal year (FY) 2022. The review looked broadly at service performance changes, trends, failure points, and causes.
The enhancements are estimated to save the Postal Service at least $36 billion during the next decade through reductions in transportation, mail and package processing, and real estate costs.

Docket No. N2024-1. The hearing will also be streamed for persons interested in remote viewing of the hearing.
After receiving an advisory opinion from the PRC, the Postal Service will consider the PRCâs opinion and finalize its decision.
