A Word from the Chairman

Dan G. Blair

Chairman of the Postal Regulatory Commission

My fellow Commissioners and I are pleased to present the Postal Regulatory Commission's new website. Our redesigned web pages provide timely information and better transparency of postal data to the users of the mail system. It is our hope that as you navigate the new website, you will find it useful. I would like to briefly highlight two new features of the design: the Newsroom and the Breaking News sections. The Newsroom includes Congressional testimony, speeches and press releases, while Breaking News is intended for more immediate information. Both sections will keep you informed and up-to-date on critical postal issues.

We will continue to post, under the What's New section, information on Commission activities. Currently, you will find the Commission's first Annual Compliance Report, which focuses on five main areas: Worksharing; Competitive Products costs and contributions; Negotiated Service Agreements; Service performance; and Trend analysis.

Also under What's New is the Commission's first Strategic and Operational Plan that outlines our core Mission and Vision for the next five years. The Plan also identifies our key Strategic Goals to ensure the transparency and accountability of the United States Postal Service and foster a vital and efficient universal mail system.

As the Commission continues to implement its new responsibilities of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act, our website will be the focal point of information for postal customers on our progress and that of the United States Postal Service.

I invite you to explore our newly designed site.

Sincerely,
Signature of Chairman Dan G. Blair
