I. Background

A. Amendments Related to Organization Structure and Functions

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552, (1) Commission regulations describe, among other things, the agency's central organization, as well as “the general course and
method by which its functions are channeled and determined, including the nature and requirements of all formal and informal
procedures available.” See 39 CFR part 3000; see also 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1)(A) and (B). Thus, revisions to agency regulations are necessary when an agency's structure or its organizational
functions are modified internally or when other statutory changes are enacted that require revisions to agency regulations.

The Commission proposed rules that reflect the creation of the new Office of Budget and Finance (OBF), which was created to
better align with federal agency best practices in organizing finance budget operations, including having a more appropriate
separation of agency functions. In addition, to better reflect that certain filings are directed by and performed on behalf
of the Commission or the Chairman, the Commission proposed to replace “the Secretary” with “the Commission” or “the Chairman”
in discrete proposed rule amendments.

Moreover, consistent with statutory updates, the Commission proposed rules that revise Commission regulations regarding the
Office of Inspector General (OIG), as the PSRA eliminated the requirement of a separate Commission OIG and effectively merged
the legacy Commission OIG with the Postal Service OIG. (2)

B. Amendments Related to Internal Commission Processes

The Commission proposed ending its codification of both the Market Dominant and Competitive product lists. The Commission
explained that the practice of codification was implemented in Docket No. R85-1 to make information on Postal Service product
offerings more accessible and transparent, benefiting both the Postal Service and its customers. (3) However, the Commission also noted that no statutory provision required codification of the Mail Classification Schedule (MCS)
as part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Order No. 9467 at 9, 11. The statute only requires publication in the
Federal Register
when the Commission revises those lists. See id. at 11; see also 39 U.S.C. 3642(d)(2). Furthermore, the Commission explained that copies of the MCS are already maintained on its website,
which includes each product list, along with product descriptions and rate information, making codification of the product
lists unnecessary. Order No. 9467 at 13.

The Commission also proposed revisions to its product list regulations that better reflect the Commission's process related
to these updates. As noted above, the CFR requires the publication of product list updates in the
Federal Register
. The CFR requires the notice to include: (1) the revised product list(s), and (2) how and when the previous list is superseded. See 39 U.S.C. 3642(d)(2). However, currently, each notice includes three items: (1) the revised product list(s), which include
amendatory language necessary to update the CFR, (2) an indication of how and when the previous list is superseded, and (3)
lists of every product addition and/or removal. (4) Thus, the Commission proposed rule changes that remove unnecessary actions and information not required by statute and costly
to the Commission.

C. Amendments Related to

Federal Register
Publications

The Administrative Procedure Act, Public Law 79-404, 60 Stat. 237 (1946) (APA), requires certain agency documents be published
in the
Federal Register
. 5 U.S.C. 553 and 554. Generally, documents submitted to the
Federal Register
must include information used to develop the action, detail agency choices and reasoning, cite to important data, identify
the applicable legal authority and, in the case of rulemakings, include affected regulatory text. (5) For many years, a Commission's
Federal Register
submission and the Commission document prompting the
Federal Register
submission would match verbatim. However, Commission rulemaking proceedings can involve dense records and analysis, oftentimes
containing in-depth discussion of all issues presented, even issues that may be outside the scope of that particular proceeding.
Commission Orders often have information above and beyond the information required by the
Federal Register
. Therefore, the Commission proposed updates to certain regulations that clarify documents sent to the
Federal Register
may be summarized at the Commission's discretion, in compliance with all
Federal Register
requirements.

On March 2, 2026, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, inviting public comment. (6) On April 3, 2026, the Public Representative filed comments. (7) No other interested persons filed comments.

II. Basis of Final Rules

After considering comments received and the support of the Public Representative, the Commission adopts the amended rules,
as proposed in Order No. 9467, with some revisions consistent with the Public Representative's recommendations.

As it relates to the Public Representative's recommended revisions to redesignated § 3040.101(b), while the Commission does
not adopt the Public Representative's suggestions precisely, it finds that additional clarity is appropriate in this instance
and amends § 3040.101(b) to more closely mirror the relevant statutory language found in 39 U.S.C. 3642(d)(2) (i.e., “the lists of products in the market-dominant or competitive category of mail”). See 39 U.S.C. 3642(d)(2).

As it relates to the Public Representative's recommended revisions to proposed §§ 3040.103(a) and (b) and 3040.105(b), the
Commission finds that these recommended changes are appropriate, in part. (8) The Commission notes circumstances may occur where a change's effective date falls outside of 6-month time limit imposed by
current Commission regulations. While this occurrence may be rare, it is an unintended consequence of its current regulations
and proposed amendments. Adopting the Public Representative's recommended changes to these specific regulations will provide
the Commission with additional flexibility when MCS or product list updates are effective more than 6 months after a final
order is issued. For these reasons, the Commission agrees that the Public Representative's recommended revisions clarify that
the MCS or product lists must be updated within 6 months after a change takes effect as described in each Commission final
order. The Commission amends §§ 3040.103 (a) and (b) and 3040.105(b) by adopting the Public Representative's suggested revisions
to those provisions.

As explained in greater detail in Order No. 9514, the Commission declined to adopt other Public Representative recommendations
because the Commission determined that the text as proposed was sufficiently clear, and more concise than the suggested revisions.
The Commission provides no specific findings at this time as it relates to the Public Representative's recommendations regarding
the Commission's website and the accessibility of the Market Dominant and Competitive product lists because the recommendations
were not rule-related in nature.
