The Postal Regulatory Commission today unanimously approved the US Postal Service's proposal to implement a "summer sale" or Standard Mail Volume Incentive Pricing Program. The seasonal rates are scheduled to take effect on July 1.

The program is open to larger mailers, which had a demonstrable volume of at least 1 million Standard Mail letters and flats between October 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008, according the PRC's press release. Eligible mailers will receive a 30% rebate at the conclusion of the sale period.
