ACMA Postal Committee Chairwoman Deborah Damore from printer LSC Communications posted this blog today, which we urge you to follow up on. In brief, in late May the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) urged all mail stakeholders to submit comments concerning the impact of the size and timing of the August 2021 postage rate increase, which was allowed since the PRC’s November 2020 ruling allowing for greater pricing flexibility for the USPS.
The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2022. The ACMA urges you to review the full blog and PRC letter and is happy to assist in your efforts. Simply email staff@catalogmailers.org for assistance.
