OPINION AND ORDER
EDWARD R. BECKER, District Judge.
I. Preliminary Statement
This case raises the question whether the United States Postal Service may, without notice, hearing, or prior submission to the Postal Rate Commission, conduct limited and temporary experiments in which proposed new mail classifications, offered at heretofore unavailable rates, are tested in the marketplace or, conversely, whether the institution of such experimental postal services is subject to the procedures governing changes in permanent rates and classifications. 1 The question appears to be one of first impression.
