The U.S. Postal Service doesn’t have legal authority to end Saturday mail delivery without authorization from Congress and must halt plans to take that step in August, its board said.

The board’s action follows a Government Accountability Office opinion last month saying the service didn’t have the authority to stop Saturday deliveries, a move officials said would save about $2 billion annually.
