Abstract

The primary purpose of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA 2006) was to stabilize the finances of the United States Postal Service (USPS) by creating a “modern” regulatory system to replace the system established by the Postal Reform Act of 1970 (the 1970 Act). Secondary purposes were to deregulate postal markets wherever USPS confronted direct competition, level the playing field by reducing USPS’s governmental advantages, and limit USPS’s participation in markets for non-postal products. Congress also expected PAEA to “maximize incentives to reduce costs and improve efficiency”.
