3010.44—Proceedings for Type 2 rate adjustments

(a) The Commission will establish a docket for each Type 2 rate adjustment filing, promptly publish notice of the filing in the Federal Register, and post the filing on its Web site. The notice shall include:
(1) The general nature of the proceeding;
(2) A reference to legal authority to which the proceeding is to be conducted;
(3) A concise description of the planned changes in rates, fees, and the Mail Classification Schedule;
(4) The identification of an officer of the Commission to represent the interests of the general public in the docket;
(5) A period of 10 days from the date of the filing for public comment; and
(6) Such other information as the Commission deems appropriate.
(b) The Commission shall review the planned Type 2 rate adjustments and the comments thereon, and issue an order announcing its findings. So long as such adjustments are not inconsistent with 39 U.S.C. 3622, they may take effect pursuant to appropriate action by the Governors. However, no rate shall take effect until 45 days after the Postal Service files a notice of rate adjustment specifying that rate.
(c) Commission findings that a planned Type 2 rate adjustment is not inconsistent with 39 U.S.C.3622 are provisional and subject to subsequent review.
