    The Postal Service's proposed modifications focus on accurately 
describing procedures in regard to ``Non-Airlift Days.'' These are 
typically days before a non-Monday holiday where air transportation is 
limited on the day of mail induction (the day before the holiday) or 
the following day (the day of the holiday). Notice at 1. The Postal 
Service proposes to modify its service performance measurement plan for 
mailpieces that are dropped at a collection box, business mail chute, 
or Post Office location on a Non-Airlift Day to start-the-clock on 
measurement on the date of the following applicable acceptance day. Id. 
at 2.
    Other proposed modifications focus on correcting areas of the 
service performance measurement plan to reflect current operations. 
These include removing references to certain parcels products that were 
recently moved from the market dominant to the competitive category, a 
product name change, and other applicable updates.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on any or all aspects of 
the Postal Service's proposed modifications concerning the service 
performance measurement systems. Comments are due October 12, 2018. The 
Commission does not anticipate the need for reply comments at this 
time. The Commission intends to evaluate the comments received and use 
those suggestions to help carry out its service performance measurement 
responsibilities under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. 
Material filed in this docket will be available for review on the 
Commission's website, http://www.prc.gov.
    It is ordered:
    1. Docket No. PI2018-2 is established for the purpose of 
considering the Postal Service's proposed modifications to its market 
dominant service performance measurement systems.
    2. Interested persons may submit written comments on any or all 
aspects of the Postal Service's proposals no later than October 12, 
2018.
    3. Lyudmila Y. Bzhilyanskaya is designated to represent the 
interests of the general public in this docket.
    4. The Secretary shall arrange for publication of this Notice in 
the Federal Register.

    By the Commission.
