Adjusted Service Commitment exclusion period
(ASC exclusion period)
The time during the year (the holiday mailing season in December) when service measurement results for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail Express International, and 3- to 5-day First-Class Mail services are not factored into the cumulative year-to-date scores for service products. During the exclusion period, performance data is available to guide management and is included in the externally reported corporate performance but is not factored into Pay for Performance.
