The Postal Regulatory Commission will announce its recommendations for postage rate hikes to the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors Monday at 11 a.m.
The decision will include recommendations on postal rates and fees affecting all mail users, according to the PRC.
Last May, the USPS filed a case with the PRC to hike standard mail rates by about 9%. First class stamp prices would go up by 3 cents.
The USPS also proposed raising magazine postage 11.4%. In addition, 5-ounce automated catalog rates would increase from 32.1 cents per ounce to nearly 34 cents.
The new rates are expected to take effect this spring.
At deadline it was not clear whether this rate case would be the last filed under the current system before postal reform legislation passed in December takes effect.
