On May 26, 2023, the Postal Service filed notice that the terms of the existing Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, First-Class Package Service & Parcel Select Contracts, have been amended.^[1] The Postal Service states that the proposed amendments will not materially affect cost coverage and therefore did not include revised supporting financial documentation or financial certification.

It is ordered:
