39 C.F.R. § 3001.181 Use of multi-year test period for proposed new services.
Title 39 - Postal Service
(a) The rules in §§3001.181 and 3001.182 apply to Postal Service requests pursuant to section 3623 for the establishment of a new postal service, with attendant rates, which in the estimation of the Postal Service cannot generate sufficient volumes and revenues to recover all costs associated with the new service in the first full fiscal year of its operation. In administering these rules, it shall be the Commission's policy to adopt tests periods of up to 5 fiscal years for the purpose of determining breakeven for newly introduced postal services where the Postal Service has presented substantial evidence in support of the test period proposed. (b) This section and §3001.182 are effective November 28, 2001 through November 28, 2006.
