Report Description
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA) allowed the U.S. Postal Service to enter into bilateral agreements with foreign posts to promote the efficient operation of international postal services. The Postal Service subsequently established bilateral agreements that developed new rates for existing letter class mailpieces and established a new letter class mailpiece designation for small lightweight packets weighing up to 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds). These small packets, or ePackets, offer delivery confirmation and tracking services, and are classified as market dominant products. Our objective was to assess whether all costs associated with ePackets were accurately captured and aggregated.
