On January 12, 2000, pursuant to its authority under 39 U.S.C. 3621, et seq. , the Postal Service filed with the Postal Rate Commission (PRC) a Request for a Recommended Decision on Proposed Changes in Rates of Postage and Fees for Postal Services (Request). The PRC designated the filing as Docket No. R2000-1. On November 13, 2000, pursuant to its authority under 39 U.S.C. 3624, the PRC issued its Recommended Decision on the Postal Service's Request to the Governors of the Postal Service.

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3625, the Governors of the United States Postal Service acted on the PRC's recommendations on December 4, 2000. In one decision, the Governors rejected the PRC's recommendations regarding Courtesy Envelope Mail, Information-Based Inidicia Program Mail, a flat-rate envelope for Priority Mail, and maximum weight figures for Standard Mail letters and breakpoint figures for Standard Mail. Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on the Recommended Decision of the Postal Rate Commission on Selected Mail Classification Matters, Docket No. R2000-1. In the second decision, the Governors acted on the remainder of the PRC's recommendations. Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on the Recommended Decision of the Postal Rate Commission on Postal Rate and Fee Changes, Docket No. R2000-1. The Governors allowed under protest all of the remaining classification, fee, and rate changes. The Governors requested reconsideration of a number of issues from the Commission, including revenue requirement, First-Class Mail costs, Bound Printed Matter rates, and nonprofit Standard Mail rates. The Commission thereafter issued a notice soliciting comments on matters allowed under protest in the Governors' decision.

In the Commission's Further Recommended Decision, issued on February 9, 2001, the Commission recommended changes to rates for Bound Printed Matter and Certified Mail, but declined to make further adjustments in the revenue requirement. In a decision dated March 5, 2001, the Governors rejected the Commission's Further Recommended Decision, and resumbitted the Request, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.3625(d). Decision of the Governors of the Unitd States Postal Service on the Further Recommended Decision of the Postal Rate Commission on Postal Rate and Fee Changes, Docket No. R2000-1. On April 10, 2001, the Commission issued an Opinion and Recommended Decision on Further Reconsideration, wherein it declined to reconsider its rate recommendations. On May 7, 2001, the Governors exercised their authority to modify the rates recommended by the Commission. Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on the Recommended Decision on Further Reconsideration of the Postal Rate Commission on Postal Rate and Fee Changes, Docket No. R2000-1.
