    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Postal Regulatory Commission develops and implements a modern system
    of postal rate regulation.
    The Postal Regulatory Commission is the successor agency to the Postal
    Rate Commission, which was created by the Postal Reorganization Act, as
    amended, (39 U.S.C. 3601-3604). The Commision was established as an
    independent agency in the executive branch of Government by the Postal
    Accountability and Enhancement Act (39 U.S.C. 101 note; 120 Stat. 3198).
    It is composed of five Commissioners, appointed by the President with
    the advice and consent of the Senate, one of whom is designated as
    Chairman.
        The Commission promulgates rules and regulations, establishes
    procedures, and takes other actions necessary to carry out its
    obligations. It considers complaints received from interested persons
    relating to postage rates and postal classifications and services. The
    Commission also has certain reporting obligations, including a report on
    universal postal service and the postal monopoly.
