In its decision, the PRC notes: \u201cAlthough the price adjustments proposed in this proceeding are consistent with applicable law and the Commission has no legal basis to reject the proposed changes, the Commission is concerned, given the current state of affairs, that the Postal Service\u2019s proposal does not reflect reasoned consideration of the potential widespread effects of its proposal, is not prudent, and is not consistent with the best interests of all stakeholders. Specifically, the Commission remains concerned about the substantial declines in Market-Dominant volumes, overall service performance for Market Dominant products, and the Postal Service\u2019s overall financial situation, issues that have all remained significant, if not worsened, since the current Market Dominant ratemaking system went into effect.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) approved the Postal Service\u2019s proposal to raise rates for Market-Dominant products on May 30 for compliance;
