NO RATE INCREASE THIS YEAR. USPS Public Affairs and Communications VP Azeezaly Jaffer confirms there will be no USPS rate increase this year. “First-Class postage, 37 cents, will not increase this year. It did not increase last year either, nor the year before,” Jaffer said in a response to a recent editorial in the Uintah Basin Standard. Jaffer explained the lengthy rate-setting process through the independent Postal Rate Commission will not allow for price changes in 2005.
