Better Newspaper and Magazine Delivery: USPS Rate Hikes Tied to Service Quality.

This law aims to improve the on-time delivery of periodicals (newspapers and magazines) by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). USPS can only raise rates for these services if it meets high performance standards (95% on-time) or significantly improves its delivery speed. This ensures citizens receive their print media subscriptions reliably and increases USPS accountability regarding delivery times.
Key points
USPS must achieve 95% on-time delivery for periodicals or show a 2% improvement to qualify for additional rate increases.
The Postmaster General must publicly report annually on the progress of measuring on-time performance for newspaper mail.
A government study (GAO) is mandated to explore alternative pricing models to improve the financial stability of postal products that currently operate at a loss.
