Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 553(b)(4), the Postal Regulatory Commission provides the following summary of proposed rules

Rulemaking Docket Number	Summary of Proposed Rules
RM2024-9	The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeks comment on the Commission's review of the accuracy, reliability, and representativeness of the Postal Service's Internal Service Performance Measurement (SPM) System. SPM produces service performance results that are an amalgamation of granular and siloed evaluations of performance for the individual segments of mail collection (First Mile), mail processing (Processing Duration), and mail delivery (Last Mile). Given recent changes in operations and mail mix, the Commission has concerns about the continued validity of the design and implementation of each of these three systems, as well as how the systems function collectively as a whole.
RM2026-1	The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes revisions to update the existing annual service performance reporting requirements for the Postal Service's Market Dominant products. The proposed revisions are based on both recent legal developments and the Commission's experience with the existing rules.
RM2025-3	The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes amendments to revise the Commission's rules regarding permissible off-the-record procedures in proceedings with an opportunity for a hearing on the record. The proposed amendments also revise the Commission's rules to clarify that informal off-the-record procedures are consistent with the Commission's ex parte rules when participants receive advance notice and an opportunity to participate.
