USPS v. PRC, No. 12-1221 (D.C. Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseThis case concerned the rates that the Postal Service charged for presorted mail. The Commission found that the Postal Service's discount for presorting exceeded the cost that the Postal Service avoided as a result of presorting. The Commission determined that the Postal Service must revise its discount for presorting. The court concluded that the discount the Postal Service offered for presorting was a rate discount provided to mailers for presorting under 39 U.S.C. 3622(e)(1). Therefore, it was clear that the amount of the discount that the Postal Service could offer for presorting was subject to the statute's workshare discount limit, and the discount could not exceed the cost that the Postal Service avoided as a result of the presorting. The court considered the Postal Service's remaining arguments and denied the petition for review.
