Streamlined Option Rulemaking-Fulfillment: Non-Published Rates Negotiated Service Agreements
Summary
The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) is proposing a new rule that would allow postal services to negotiate shipping rates with large customers more easily without having to publish those rates publicly. This change aims to streamline business agreements for shipping companies while maintaining fairness in how postal services operate.
Key Points

- 2These negotiated agreements would not need to be made public, allowing companies to keep their pricing deals private
- 3The rule is designed to speed up the process for creating special shipping agreements with major clients
- 4The public has until March 13, 2025 to submit comments about whether this rule is a good idea
- 5This primarily affects large shipping businesses and postal service operations rather than individual mail users
