USPS v. PRC, No. 11-1117 (D.C. Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThe Postal Service sought review of the Commission's 2010 Annual Compliance Determination (ACD), which found in part that the rates for a particular product - Standard Mail Flats - were in violation of 39 U.S.C. 101(d)'s mandate. The Postal Service argued that the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), Title 39 of the U.S. Code, did not permit reliance on section 101(d) for purposes of the ACD, and that the determination regarding Standard Flats was otherwise arbitrary and capricious. The court concluded that the Commission acted within its statutory authority but remanded for an explanation of the relation between its remedy, on one hand, and its treatment of other products and indeed the bounds of its authority, on the other.
