The Postal Rate Commission ordered a status report on Post E.C.S., an experimental document service for direct marketers from the U.S. Postal Service. The order came as the PRC reopened its suspended proceedings on a challenge to the service.
The PRC called for the report in an order signed by Commissioner Dana Covington who had been presiding over the hearings on a challenge to the service by Atlanta-based United Parcel Service and the Coalition Against Unfair USPS Competition.
While the order calls for the USPS report on Post E.C.S. to be delivered by Sept. 19, it also gives challengers UPS and the Coalition an extra week, until Sept. 26, to comment on it. Covington said that he might recommend a dismissal of the challenge by the full PRC, depending on what the parties say in their filings.
