Description

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) continues to face a dire financial situation. Reducing costs is essential, but USPS also must generate additional revenue through the sale of products and services. The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), enacted in 2006, eliminated USPSäó»s authority to offer nonpostal services unless they were offered as of Jan. 1, 2006, and expressly grandfathered by the PRC. USPS may, however, offer new nonpostal services if they are related to the grandfathered nonpostal services. It may also offer experimental postal products that meet certain conditions. This report describes: (1) the nonpostal services grandfathered after the enactment of PAEA, experimental postal products offered since enactment of PAEA, and discretionary services USPS currently performs for other federal agencies; (2) initiatives -- including nonpostal services and experimental postal products -- USPS is pursuing to generate additional revenue and the status of these initiatives; and (3) the reasons USPS decided not to pursue other revenue-generating initiatives that it had identified. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
