The change in First Class service standards mostly reflect
the results of the constraints the Postal Service has on raising First
Class rates to cover peak-load and transition costs. Switching to a
network of fewer than 200 plants would have some service impacts but
would not require adding a day to the current service standards without changes
to plant operating plans. An analysis of the proposed network could easily
be completed comparing the cost difference of consolidating plants and
consolidating plants and changing the operating plan to implement slower
delivery standards.
A previous post illustrated that it is possible
to retain current First Class service standards with higher single-piece rates.
That post suggested that single-piece First Class Mail prices would have to go
up by 6 to 10 cents over the next few years. However, pricing constraints
prevented the Postal Service from evaluating whether higher First Class
single-piece rates or slower service and lower costs is the more rational
option for ensuring maximum contribution from this product as volume declines
over the next decade. In the review of the Postal Service's proposal, the
Postal Regulatory Commission needs to evaluate both options as it is important
to understand the impact that the pricing constraint has on potential
contribution from single-piece First Class mail. In addition, the
Postal Regulatory Commission needs to clearly rethink its decision to maintain
the link between single piece and bulk First Class mail rates. Both Congress
and the Commission need to determine whether maintaining the Postal
Service's First Class mail commitment should be retained at higher rates, a
practice common in Europe, or whether First Class mail service should
be allowed to decline.

Pricing Constraints and Rural Areas
The map of new facilities also raises questions about
seasonal variations in First Class mail service quality. Many
of the areas that see significant reductions in mail processing facilities
are in parts of the country with winter weather resulting in slower inter-city
transportation than in other seasons. The seasonal difference
in service quality needs study by the Postal Service and the Postal Regulatory
Commission before it makes a final decision on an operating network.
