NOTICE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
OF FILING REPLACEMENT PAGE 3 FOR USPS-T-29, DIRECT TESTIMONY OF
STEVEN M. SCHROEDER
[ERRATA] (July 19, 2006)
The United States Postal Service hereby provides notice that it is filing a
replacement page 3 for the Direct Testimony of Steven M. Schroeder on behalf of
United States Postal Service (USPS-T-29). The attached replacement page 3 should
replace the original page 3, which was filed on May 3, 2006.
The only change is to the last sentence of witness Schroeder's testimony (lines
12-14 on page 3). In the original testimony, filed on May 3, this sentence read as
follows: "The majority of parcel sampled [sic] had postage in the form of PVI or
stamps." The revised sentence reads "The majority of sampled parcels over 1 cubic
foot in volume had payment in the form of PVI or stamps (emphasis added)." No other
changes have been made.
Respectfully submitted,
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
