approach. Petition, Proposal Three at 1. This new sampling approach 
permits data collectors to take on-site readings in the mornings when 
city carriers conduct the majority of their in-office work. Id. The 
Postal Service states that the availability of TACS census data 
provides the opportunity to significantly reshape the sampling design. 
Id. at 2. The Postal Service states that the primary objective of this 
proposal is to replace the current method of obtaining data via 
telephone readings with on-site readings. Id. at 15. In support of its 
Petition, the Postal Service has attached a public library reference,
