    The Postal Regulatory Commission announced that the Postal Service submitted its FY 2020 Performance Report and FY 2021 Performance Plan. This filing is part of the Postal Service's annual reporting and includes details about their goals related to service quality, customer experience, workplace safety, and financial health. The Commission invites public comments on whether the Postal Service met these goals and if the reports comply with statutory requirements. Comments are due by March 1, 2021, and reply comments by March 15, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Postal Service is telling everyone about a big report they made showing how well they did last year and what they plan to do this year, and they want people to say what they think about it by March. They want to know if people think they did a good job, but they don't explain exactly what a "good job" looks like, making it a bit tricky.

    The Railroad Retirement Board has announced updates to the fines for civil penalties to adjust for inflation, as mandated by a law from 2015. These adjustments are based on a calculation that compares changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) over the past year. For 2021, this resulted in an approximate 1.01% increase in penalties, which means certain fines under acts like the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act and the False Claims Act have increased slightly. These changes take effect from January 11, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The Railroad Retirement Board makes sure that fines keep up with price changes so they stay fair, and this year they made some fines a tiny bit higher. They did this by looking at how money values changed from last year, kind of like when prices at the store go up.
