Director of Postal Affairs, Bob Schimek elaborates on the latest developments with the United States Postal Service: USPS Reports 2Q Results:          Controllable Income was pretty much break even at a positive $12M o   A dramatic drop from SPLY which was $576M          USPS noted that primary difference was the removal of the exigent surcharge that would have added $500M o   Reminder: Exigent surcharge rolled off in April of 2016, so we are near the end of comparing apples to oranges          Operating Expenses increased $69M over SPLY          Year to date, the USPS has a net income of $967M (compared to a 1.6B loss in 2016)          Letter Mail Volume declined by 1.4B pieces (3.8% drop)          Packages continue to be the bright spot, volume grew by 137M up 11% and Revenue up by 12.7%   USPS Irresistible Mail Award:          Q4 Winner is another car company.  o   Q1 winner was Toyota o   Q2 winner was Lincoln          Q4 winner is Porsche o   “It Takes Something Amazing” campaign o   It used both a hologram and print to introduce the new Porsche 911 o   It included a plastic prism that could display a holographic video when placed on a tablet or smartphone o   Along with a full-color glossy brochure on features of the new model          2017 Irresistible Mail Grand Champion will be selected at the National Postal Forum on May 23rd.   PRC being Pushed by USPS to Decide on New Service Measurement Plan          History (Fox minding Hen House)          PRC has ruled that both systems must be run in parallel for an undetermined amount of time.          USPS is requesting PRC Decision by June 1st          The USPS request is an effort to avert unnecessary expense and duplication of effort.          “Assuming Approval”, it would allow the USPS to cancel its current independent contract (EXFC) for FY2018   OIG looks at USPS Fuel Consumption and Risk:            USPS has 7,600 mail transport vehicles and 16,000 supplier-operated highway contract routes          This make the USPS one of the largest users of diesel fuel in the US.          FY2106 the USPS purchased 251M gallons spending more than $570M o   Doing the math, that is $2.27 per gallon. o   A change of as little of 25 cents a gallon can have over a $62M impact.          OIG found the USPS is not positioned to mitigate the risk of increasing fuel costs          Looking at 2013 to 2016 mail volume declined by 4.3B pieces, yet HCR miles increased by 183M          While diesel costs declined over this same time period, the large increase in HCR miles is a major financial exposure if prices go up.          US Department of energy is predicting diesel fuel costs to increase $.74 per gallon over the next five years ($186M increase)          OIG is recommending the USPS incent conversion to alternative fuel options and improve negotiations to get the lowest cost per gallon
