The Postal Regulatory Commission will begin consideration of the US Postal Service’s request for an “exigent” rate increase on Thursday September 9. On the next day the PRC will hold its regular monthly closed session- there will be no open meeting in September. The commission will then continue to meet on weekdays as needed until it comes to a decision on the request. The latest possible meeting date would be Friday, October 1.

From Postcom.org:

Stock Markets Review has reported that “Monday, United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) announced various appointments in its new and expanded districts. Earlier, the company had announced that it was going to reduce the number of U.S. Districts from 46 to 20.” [EdNote: And the Postal Service with its "more than it needs" district structure? What about the Postal Service? Well...it's still sittin' around just whistlin' Dixie. Besides, why worry? It is about to ask to have its customers pay.]
