Subject to subsections (c) and (d), the Postmaster General shall submit to the Postal Regulatory Commission and make publicly available an annual report on the progress of the United States Postal Service in including in the periodical service performance measurements of the Postal Service on-time performance data for in-county and out-of-county newspaper mail that is entered and accepted at each delivery unit for delivery.

The Postmaster General shall submit and make publicly available the report described in subsection (a) annually until the date on which the Postal Regulatory Commission determines that the United States Postal Service has incorporated the categories of mail described in subsection (a), or any other relevant mail categories used in the report in accordance with subsection (d), into the existing applicable service performance measurements.

If the Postal Regulatory Commission and the Postmaster General jointly determine that identifying newspaper mail within the periodicals mail category is not practicable for purposes of a report under subsection (a), the Postal Regulatory Commission may determine what information with respect to the closest relevant mail category the Postmaster General may use in the report.
