establishment of the permanent weight averaging classification and fees 
which were requested by the Postal Service and ratified by the Docket 
No. MC99-2 parties in a Stipulation and Agreement.

Postal Service acted on the PRC's Docket No. MC99-2 recommendations on 
November 1, 1999. The Governors determined to approve those 
recommendations. A copy of the attachment to that decision, setting 
forth the Docket No. MC99-2 classification and fee changes approved by
