Postal Act of 2006  
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act is the first major legislative change to the Postal Service since 1971
The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act changes the way the U.S. Postal Service operates and conducts business. It provides new flexibility, especially in competitive pricing for shipping services, enabling the Postal Service to respond to dynamic market conditions and changing customer needs.

As we modernize our business and implement provisions of the law, and take advantage of new opportunities for growth, our mission remains the same: providing trusted, universal service at affordable prices.
