Letter Type I:

Dear Commissioners,

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the SEC's proposed Regulation E-Delivery rule (File No. S7-2026-25). As a business development professional at IC Group — a mail presort and print service provider operating in Murray, Utah — I see firsthand how vital physical paper mail is to both working communities and individual consumers.

While the "digital-by-default" framework is framed as an efficiency measure for large financial institutions, its unintended consequences on the nation's mailing supply chain, postal infrastructure, and vulnerable citizens are severe.
I urge the Commission to reconsider this proposal for the following reasons:

Devastating Financial Impact on the U.S. Postal Service: Removing billions of physical shareholder reports, prospectuses, and statements from the system will strip an estimated $2 billion annually from USPS's highest-margin First-Class and Marketing Mail revenue streams. This sudden shortfall will inevitably force postage rate increases across the board, harming businesses and consumers nationwide.

Economic and Employment Harm in Local Communities: The commercial print, mail processing, and presort industries employ thousands of hard-working professionals across the country. Artificially collapsing physical mail volume threatens the livelihoods of mail processors, carriers, clerks, and local manufacturing workers who keep our supply chains moving.

Disadvantaging Vulnerable Populations: Transitioning to a digital opt-out model places an unfair burden on seniors, retirees on fixed incomes, and rural residents who lack consistent broadband internet or digital literacy. Physical mail guarantees equal access to vital financial disclosures without subjecting citizens to unnecessary technological barriers.

Increased Cybersecurity Risks: Forcing consumers into digital-only notifications increases their exposure to phishing scams, email fraud, and identity theft. Physical paper records provide a safe, verifiable physical baseline for managing life savings and critical financial assets.
While cost savings for wall street institutions are important, they should not come at the direct expense of the U.S. Postal Service, private sector mail processors, and everyday consumers.

I strongly encourage the SEC to preserve the traditional paper-based baseline for financial disclosures. Thank you for considering the perspective of commercial mail processors and local workers.

Sincerely,
