**A. General Contents**
The Postal Service's FY 2025 ACR consists of a 62-page narrative. FY 2025 ACR at 1-62. The Postal Service has streamlined this document by reducing restatements of information appearing in multiple locations and expanding use of summary tables. *Id.* at 1.
Additional materials are appended as 77 separate folders (interchangeably referred to as Library References). *Id.* at 1, 3. Consistent with past practice, some of the materials appear in non-public annexes. *Id.* at 62.
