Docket No. MCQ8-1
NOTICE OF UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
OF FILING OF REVISED ACCOUNTING PERIOD DATA REPORTS
FOR A/Ps 2 THROUGH 6
The United States Postal Service hereby provides revised Mailing Online market
test data reports for Accounting Periods (A/Ps) 2 through 6. These reports are attached
in their entirety, with revised pages marked. The A/P 3 through 4 reports are revised to
reflect changes made in response to questions raised by the OCA at the hearings on
March 12, 1999, and to correct minor errors in help desk costs. The reports for A/P 5
and 6 are revised to provide information that was not available when they were
originally filed on March 16, 1999. A list of specific changes is attached.
The Postal Service encourages counsel for participants with questions
concerning these or other data reports filed to contact undersigned counsel informally in
order to facilitate expeditious response to questions and any necessary corrections.
Respectfully submitted,
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
