SECOND NOTICE~DF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
~. CONCERNING ERRATA
TO TESTIMONY OF WITNESS MILLER (USPS-T-24) (ERRATUM)
The United States Postal Service hereby provides notice of the filing of errata to
the testimony of witness Miller (USPS-T-24). The errata appear in the following
locations in USPS-T-24:
Appendix I - pages 1 and 2;
Appendix II - page 1; and
Appendix Ill - page 1.
The changes to USPS-T-24 result from witness Daniel’s March 1.2000, correction of
errors in USPS-T-28. The corrections to USPS-T-24 reflect the impact of the changes
in the USPS-T-26 estimates of delivery worksharing-related unit costs. These corrected
numbers on the aforementioned pages of USPS-T-24 are highlighted in the attached
corrected pages, which supersede the originals filed on January 12,200O.
Respectfully submitted,
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
