NAAD/Mailers Hug Legislative Affairs Conference Price Changes NAAD/Mailers Hug Legislative Affairs Conference April 6, 2017

Agenda Pricing Goals Regulatory Requirements Initiatives under consideration for 2018

Pricing Goals Transparency No unintended consequences Simplification Growth

Regulatory Requirements PAEA requires contribution from Competitive products to cover 5.5% of Institutional Costs Appropriate share Postal Regulatory Commission reviews every 5 years and is currently under review. Contribution from competitive products covered 16.5% of institutional costs in FY16 vs. 13.3% in FY15. Small number of major shippers responsible for majority of growth. All are building the capability which would enable them to deliver their own product. This would result in less density and lower contribution to overhead. USPS has recommended the appropriate share should be reduced to zero percent, and that it certainly should not be raised

10 Year Review – Is system meeting objectives? Regulatory Requirements 10 Year Review – Is system meeting objectives? To maximize incentives to reduce costs and increase efficiency To create predictability and stability in rates To maintain high quality service standards To allow the Postal Service pricing flexibility To assure adequate revenues, including retained earnings, to maintain financial stability To reduce the administrative burden and increase the transparency of the ratemaking process To enhance mail security and deter terrorism To establish and maintain a just and reasonable schedule for rates and classifications, however this shall not be construed to prohibit the Postal Service from making changes of unequal magnitude within, between, or among classes of mail To allocate the total institutional costs of the Postal Service appropriately between market dominant and competitive products

Regulatory Proceedings 10-year Review - USPS Position Current system not meeting objectives Cap is unworkable in a network industry with growing delivery points and declining volumes Need pricing flexibility to ensure financial stability, but we can’t price our way out of current financial situation; need legislative reform and continued cost control

Structural Changes Under Consideration for the Next Price Change

Significant rate relationships Rate Design Strategy Significant rate relationships Letters - How has volume migrated? What is appropriate pass-through? First-Class Mail Single-Piece vs Meter AADC vs. 5 Digit letter discount (FCM and MM) Marketing Mail Origin letters vs. DNDC vs. DSCF 5-Digit vs. High Density, HD+, Saturation Flats- How has volume migrated? What is appropriate pass-through? 5-Digit vs. Carrier Route vs. High Density, HD+, Saturation How do we encourage more CR on direct pallets in non-FSS zones “Heavy” weight prices between classes (Per, MM, BPM) Automation discounts – what is right incentive?

Simplify Single-Piece Residual First-Class Initiatives Under Consideration Simplify Single-Piece Residual One price up to 3.5 ounces for Single Piece FCM letters Simplify the pricing structure for Picture Permit

Postal Explorer® - pe.usps.com Resources Postal Explorer® - pe.usps.com Current and new prices: including downloadable price files in Excel and CSV formats Federal Register Notices Domestic Mail Manual & International Mail Manual BMA page: http://blue.usps.gov/bma/ RIBBS: https://ribbs.usps.gov/ PostalPro: http://beta.postalpro.usps.com/ [VO]: There are several resources that are available for more information about all US Postal Services price changes. First is Postal Explorer, which can be found at p-e dot u-s-p-s dot com. There you can find current and new prices, including downloadable price files in Excel and CSV formats, as well as the Federal Register Notices, and the Domestic Mail Manual, or D-M-M and the International Mail Manual, or I-M-M. There are also BMA Advisories. All BMA Advisories, which are distributed through email, are also posted on the BMA page. The BMA page is for internal USPS employees. The external facing website has for many years been “RIBBS”. “RIBBS” is in the process of being phased out and Postal Pro will eventually replace it entirely, but right now is in the beta stage. Both websites are accessible at the noted web addresses included here, or you can google any of these for easy access as well.
