Abstract: Abstract The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (PAEA) established a cap on the annual rate of increase in price of each class of domestic mail for which the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is the market-dominant supplier. The allowable annual increase is the rate of increase in the Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The U.S. Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) is charged by PAEA with verifying that USPS’s rates for market-dominant mail comply with this cap.
