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

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 Commission 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). 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 United States Postal Service rates, regulations, and 
services. The Commission also has certain reporting obligations, 
including a report on universal postal service and the postal monopoly.
