On September 15, 2009, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into an additional Global
Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2)
contract.1 GEPS 2 provides volumebased incentives for mailers that send
large volumes of Express Mail
International (EMI) and/or Priority Mail
International (PMI). The Postal Service
believes the instant contract is
functionally equivalent to the
previously submitted GEPS 2 contracts
and is supported by the Governors’’
Decision filed in Docket No. CP2008–4.
Id. at 1.2
The instant contract. The Postal
Service filed the instant contract
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition,
the Postal Service contends that the
contract is in accordance with Order No.

one year beginning October 1, 2009.
Notice at 2.
In support of its Notice, the Postal
Service filed four attachments as
follows:

modification to the contract provisions
with the mailer regarding tender
requirements and a representative
sample of the modification is filed with
the notice. Id. at 3. It also affirms that

BILLING CODE 7710–FW–P
PRESIDIO TRUST
Notice of Trial Use Limits
By Federal Register notice of
August 20, 2009 (73 FR 42028), the
Presidio Trust (‘‘Trust’’) announced its
proposal to undertake trial temporary
traffic-calming and reduction measures
for a period up to 45 days in that
portion of The Presidio of San Francisco
(‘‘Presidio’’) under the Trust’s
administrative jurisdiction (‘‘Area B’’),
including temporary road closures of
certain roads, in order to assess various
means that may slow traffic through
Area B and reduce cut-through traffic.
The Trust also announced its
termination of the temporary public use
limits no later than 45 days after they
commence. In its notice of the trial
temporary traffic-calming and reduction
measures the Trust solicited public
comment through September 21, 2009.
Under 36 CFR 1001.5, the Board of
Directors of the Presidio Trust (‘‘Board’’)
may close all or a portion of Area B to
all public use or to a specific use or
activity, given a determination that such
action is necessary for the maintenance
of public health and safety, the
protection of environmental or scenic
values, or the avoidance of conflict
among visitor use activities. The Board
has determined that the trial temporary
traffic-calming and reduction measures,
including temporary road closures of
certain roads for a period up to 45 days
commencing approximately September
29, 2009, will afford the Trust the
opportunity to study and monitor the

effects (both positive and negative) of
these actions. The Board has authorized
these temporary public use limits in
Resolution 09–19.
Comments: The Trust received
approximately 100 individual
comments as well as a petition signed
by 128 residents of Area B. The
comments generally fall into three
categories: (1) Inconvenience—some
commented that temporary road
closures, specifically the closure of
Presidio Boulevard, would create an
inconvenience to motorists, both to
those who live in the Presidio as well
as to those who live outside the park; (2)
safety and congestion—some worry that
rerouting traffic to other streets might
create safety problems, especially on
West Pacific Avenue, the roadway
adjacent to Julius Kahn Playground; and
(3) timing and length of study.
Responses to Comments: In the 2002
Presidio Trust Management Plan, the
Trust committed to mitigate traffic
impacts as Area B occupancy increased
and visitation grew. The Trust has
implemented a number of strategies and
an array of traffic-calming measures. In
March 2009, the Trust took traffic
counts at all Presidio gates which
allowed the Trust to ascertain what
percentage of the cars entering the
Presidio simply drove through the park
and out another gate. The Trust
determined that, while the Trust
appears to have succeeded in managing
traffic generated by park residents,
tenants and visitors, and that the
Presidio has sufficient capacity for
traffic generated by anticipated land
uses in Area B, cut-through traffic has
become a major issue representing
approximately 50% of the traffic in Area
B. With the anticipated transformation
of Doyle Drive, the landscape of the
Presidio will be changing and new
traffic patterns will emerge.
This trial limitation of public use and
resulting study will help the Trust in
implementing its management
responsibilities and in avoiding
conflicts among resident, tenant and
visitor activities by allowing the Trust to
analyze the effects of measures that are
intended to slow traffic and to
discourage cut-through traffic on Area
B’s major streets and gateways and
through the Presidio’s residential
neighborhoods. In particular, it will
help the Trust plan for the effect the
new Doyle Drive/Girard Street
interchange may have on the use of Area
B streets for cut-through traffic. Further,
as implementation of the Presidio’s
Trail and Bikeways Master Plan
continues, the Trust expects the
numbers of pedestrian and cyclists
using the park to increase. Ensuring the
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
safety of this growing population means
prioritizing the traffic movements of
park users over traffic unrelated to park
uses.
The study will examine the effects of
a variety of potential traffic-calming
solutions. The challenge is to weigh the
benefit of a potentially significant
reduction in traffic in the park against
the inconvenience of using other routes.
Cut-through traffic, especially those
vehicles using the Presidio Boulevard
gate, is creating congestion elsewhere in
the Presidio. During the temporary
closures the Trust anticipates a
reduction in traffic volume throughout
the Presidio. Safety concerns along West
Pacific Avenue will be addressed
through the addition of a speed cushion,
increased United States Park Police
enforcement, signage, and altering
parking patterns to create a pedestrian
zone out of the roadway. The study is
scheduled for a brief window before
construction of the Doyle Drive
Replacement Project begins later in the
fall. The study is designed in part to
anticipate changes that may come about
as a result of Doyle Drive; gathering data
before construction begins is essential to
undertaking an analysis of the impacts
of potential changes. All roads will
remain open to MUNI, PresidioGo and
emergency vehicles. The Trust has
considered public comment and has
decided to proceed with the temporary
public use limits and to terminate the
use limits no later than 45 days after
they commence.

company separate accounts organized as
unit investment trusts that offer variable
annuity contracts to register as
investment companies under the

SUMMARY: By Federal Register notice of August 20, 2009 (73 FR 42028),
the Presidio Trust (``Trust'') announced its proposal to undertake

Under 36 CFR 1001.5, the Board of Directors of the Presidio Trust
