  • Postal Innovation Zones: a New Avenue for USPS Reform Abstract in the United States, Letter Pickup, Sorting, and Delivery Is
    Postal Innovation Zones: A New Avenue for USPS Reform Abstract In the United States, letter pickup, sorting, and delivery is almost entirely controlled by the United States Postal Service (USPS). The federal agency’s monopoly status has led to delivery performance issues, fiscal mismanagement, and slow adoption of new postal technologies. I examine these issues by exploring the history of the USPS and its predecessor, including attempts by private actors to compete in the postal sector. I also examine postal liberalization case studies from the United Kingdom and Germany, and conclude that these countries offer significant lessons for the US as members of Congress debate different USPS reform options. I then propose comprehensive postal liberalization, in which the USPS’ monopoly is eliminated and companies are encouraged to compete for letter mail delivery business. Introduction Throughout its history, the United States Postal Service (USPS) and the United States Postal Department (USPD) that preceded it have enjoyed near-exclusive access to the American letter mail delivery market. To mail a letter, individuals and businesses must either go to a Post Office or one of the USPS’ designated suppliers to purchase postage. Even though mailboxes are typically located on private property, and individuals and businesses could choose to purchase a variety of mailbox models with different coloring and lettering, mailboxes are considered federal property and only the USPS is legally authorized to deposit mail there.1 Since the official adoption of national, prepaid postage stamps in the mid-nineteenth century and the first mail delivery via automobile in 1906, the mail delivery process has changed little over time.

    EPA 305-X-04-001 July 2004 NPDES Compliance Inspection Manual Office of Enforcement EPA 305-X-04-001 and Compliance Assurance July 2004 (2223A) NPDES Compliance Inspection Manual July 2004 (Appendix J - updated April 2006) (Appendix H - updated August 2006) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Compliance Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. This page intentionally left blank. FOREWORD The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Compliance Inspection Manual has been developed to support personnel that conduct NPDES inspections of wastewater treatment plants, storm water industrial and construction sites, pretreatment facilities, biosolids handling and treatment facilities, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), municipal wastewater collection systems (combined and separate from storm water) as well as pollution prevention and multimedia concerns. These procedures are fundamental to the NPDES compliance program and provide inspectors with a method for conducting inspections. The manual presents standard procedures for inspections. In addition to the manual EPA expects its inspectors to have completed training to develop a good working knowledge of the subject related problems, regulations, control technologies, and Best Management Practices. EPA Order 3500.1, Training and Development for Compliance Inspectors/Field Investigators, establishes the Basic Health and Safety and Program-Specific Curricula for EPA compliance inspectors before they lead or conduct inspections independently. The manual will serve as a reference for the experienced inspector. Regional and State personnel are encouraged to provide U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters with changes or information that would improve the manual. Comments, information, and suggestions should be addressed to: Clean Water Team Compliance Assessment and Media Programs Division (2223A) Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance U.S.
