3010.11—Limit on size of rate increases.

(a) Rate increases for each class of market dominant products in any 12-month period are limited.

(b) Rates of general applicability are subject to an inflation-based limitation computed using CPI-U values as detailed in § 3010.12.

(c) An exception to the inflation-based limitation allows a limited annual recapture of unused rate authority. The amount of unused rate authority is measured separately for each class of mail.

(d) In any 12-month period the inflation-based limitation combined with the allowable recapture of unused rate authority equals the price cap applicable to each class of mail.
