The availability of each of these sources is subject to limitations appearing in each of the new subparts. The maximum rate adjustment authority available to the Postal Service for each class of market dominant mail is limited to the sum of the percentage points developed in each of these subparts. Existing § 3010.20(e) imposed no limitation on the amount of a rate decrease. This provision is replaced by a requirement that the rates for non-compensatory products may not be reduced. There is no limitation on the amount of a rate decrease for any other product. Section 3010.128 Calculation of percentage change in rates. This section specifies the calculation of percentage change in rates. The rules currently appearing in existing § 3010.23, concerning the calculation of percentage change in rates, and existing § 3010.24, concerning the treatment of volumes associated with NSAs and rate incentives not of general applicability, are moved to proposed § 3010.128. There is no intent to change the meaning or operation of the rules currently in place.
