...the Commission found that the Postal Service must resolve unequal commercial and nonprofit discounts for Standard Mail 5-digit automation flats. The proposed rates violate the requirement that disparities between commercial and nonprofit discounts must be justified by a statutory exception. The Postal Service may implement the proposed rate adjustments, minus the Full Service IMb requirements, effective January 26, 2014. Alternatively, the Postal Service may adjust its proposed rates for First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, and Periodicals rates in a manner comparable to the implementation of Full Service IMb requirements in Package Services and file amended rates. The Postal Service shall notify the Commission of its intentions and provide necessary supporting documents by November 27, 2013. The Postal Service proposed that the price of Single-Piece First-Class Mail letters increase from 46 cents to 47 cents. The price of a postcard will remain at 33 cents.
