On April 21, 2023, the NRLCA and USPS reached an agreement to delay the implementation of the initial rural route evaluations under the revised Rural Route Evaluated Compensation System (RRECS), until Saturday, May 6, 2023.
The parties are agreeing to this delay to allow for further review of the data underlying these new rural route evaluations. The parties will also use this delay to finalize a dispute resolution process specific to the rural route evaluation data.
