I. Discussion
II. Ordering Paragraphs
In Order No. 9594, the Commission set July 7, 2026 as the deadline for comments on the current methodology used by the Commission to value the Postal Service's universal service obligation (USO).[1] On June 18, 2026, the Postal Service filed a motion for extension of time of 30 days until August 6, 2026, to file comments in response to Order No. 9594.[2] The Postal Service states that it requests additional time “due to the magnitude of data requiring review” and it needs additional time to analyze that information and prepare its comments. Motion at 1. Because extending the comment deadline to August 6, 2026 is unlikely to have any adverse impact on other participants and on the procedural schedule of this docket, the Motion is granted. 39 CFR 3010.162(c).
It is ordered:
1. The Motion for Extension of Time to File Comments Responsive to Order No. 9594, filed June 18, 2026, is granted. ( printed page 38043)
2. Comments responsive to Order No. 9594 are due August 6, 2026.
3. This Order, or an abstract thereof, shall be published in the Federal Register .
By the Commission.
