POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. RM2024-9; Order No. 7817]
RIN 3211-AA39


Service Performance Measurement Systems for Market Dominant 
Products

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document acknowledges that the Commission will be 
conducting one or more off-the-record technical conferences to attain 
information that the Commission requires to effectively review the 
Postal Service's Service Performance Measurement (SPM) system.

DATES: Technical Conference: January 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern 
Time, Virtual.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David A. Trissell, General Counsel, at 
202-789-6820.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Docket No. RM2024-9 was initiated by the 
Commission to review the accuracy, reliability, and representativeness 
of the Postal Service's SPM system. SPM produces composite service 
performance results that are generated using several different data 
sources and data processing methods. The service performance results 
produced by SPM are an amalgamation of granular and siloed evaluations 
of performance for the individual segments of mail collection (First 
Mile), mail processing (Processing Duration), and mail delivery (Last 
Mile). Given recent changes in operations and mail mix, the Commission 
has concerns about the continued validity of the design and 
implementation of each of these three systems, as well as how the 
systems function collectively as a whole.
    Commission Information Request No. 3 sought to obtain, inter alia, 
the programming code associated with SPM, as well as a real-world 
example of the relevant SPM calculations being performed. The Postal 
Service moved for reconsideration, arguing that providing the 
information requested would be burdensome, would raise security 
concerns, and might not be technically feasible. The Postal Service 
requested a technical conference to discuss these issues, which the 
Commission found good cause to grant.

    By the Commission.
Jennie L. Jbara,
Primary Certifying Official.
