Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 60 / Thursday, March 27, 2008 / Notices
concludes that the proposed action is
the preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
NRC provided a draft of this
Environmental Assessment to the
Virginia Radioactive Materials Program
for review on February 25, 2008. The
State agreed with the conclusions of the
EA, and otherwise provided no
comments.
The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action is of a procedural
nature, and will not affect listed species
or critical habitat. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act. The
NRC staff has also determined that the
proposed action is not the type of
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on historic properties. Therefore,
no further consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA in
support of the proposed action. On the
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts from the proposed action, and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact
is appropriate.

Rates and Classes of General
Applicability for Competitive Products
(Governors’ Decision No. 08–3)
March 4, 2008.
SUMMARY:
Statement of Explanation and
Justification
Dated in Rockville, Maryland, this 20th
day of March 2008.
Pursuant to our authority under
section 3632 of title 39, as amended by
the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act of 2006 (‘‘PAEA’’), we
establish new prices of general
applicability for the Postal Service’s
competitive products, and such changes
in classifications as are necessary to
define the new prices. The prices and
classification changes are shown in
Attachment A and are described in
detail in the analysis provided by
management in Attachment B. We have
reviewed that analysis and have
evaluated the new prices and
classification changes in accordance
with 39 U.S.C. 3632–3633 and 39 CFR
3015.2. We approve the changes set
forth in Attachment A, finding that they
This document corrects a
notice appearing in the Federal Register
on March 19, 2008 (73 FR 14850), that
incorrectly referenced the date of the
submittal for the amendment request.
This action is necessary to correct an
erroneous date.

are appropriate, and are consistent with
the regulatory criteria. In particular, we
note that the price changes are expected
to result in an increase of contribution
for each competitive product.
For Express Mail service, the overall
increase is approximately 3.1 percent. A
number of substantive changes are made
to the Express Mail price categories.
First, the current unzoned retail price
structure is replaced with prices that are
zoned to reflect the practice in the
marketplace and to align prices better
with costs. Second, lower prices are
available for customers who use
alternate postage payment systems that
capture more detailed customer
information, such as the online service,
Click-N-Ship, or corporate accounts.
Even lower prices will be available to
customers who use corporate accounts
and whose average daily volumes
exceed a minimum threshold. These
changes will improve Express Mail’s
competitive position, especially with
regard to small and medium-sized
businesses.
For Priority Mail service, the overall
price increase is 4 percent. The average
Priority Mail retail price increases by
about 6 percent. Customers who use
electronic postage and meet other
requirements are provided reduced
prices. On average, these prices are 3.5
percent lower than retail prices;
however, the size of the reduction varies
for each specific price point, based on
competitive considerations. This should
increase volume and revenue from
small-volume commercial shippers.
For Parcel Select service, the overall
average price increase is 5.7 percent.
Prices increase more for Destination
BMC entry than for Destination Delivery
Unit entry in order to further encourage
customers to bring packages to the DDU.
Incentives are provided, in the form of
declining block prices, for shippers with
greater than $5 million annual Parcel
Select revenue who increase their
volume from the previous twelve month
period. To further encourage growth,
qualifying shippers whose annual Parcel
Select volume grows more than 10
percent will receive rebates ranging
from 2 to 14 percent of DDU postage
based on their annual postage revenues.
For Parcel Return Service, prices have
an overall increase of 2 percent to
encourage growth. Prices are realigned
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:08 Mar 26, 2008
Jkt 214001
between the return delivery unit (RDU)
and return BMC categories, such that
RBMC has an approximately 9 percent
increase and RDU prices are decreased
21 percent.
For Global Express Guaranteed
service, the overall price increase is 5.2
percent. Price increases vary by country
group and weight increment. An online
price remains available. The relatively
modest price increases and continued
availability of the lower online price
should allow this service to remain
competitive.
For Express Mail International
service, prices will increase on average
by 6 percent. Price increases vary by
country group and weight increment.
Customers using Click-N-Ship or other
online applications continue to receive
a lower price. In addition, two new
incentives are provided for commercial
mailers. First, customers receive a
reduced price if they pay postage by
PERMIT imprint and use authorized
software to prepare their mail. This
software allows mailers to create online
Customs forms, print labels, and track
packages. Second, customers also
receive a lower price if they use this
authorized software to prepare their
mail and pay their postage through an
Express Mail Corporate Account; this
incentive is tiered, depending on
volume or postage minimums. The new
incentives are expected to result in little
or no shift of retail mail volume to the
lower prices; rather, they are expected
to be used by new customers, or
customers who previously had a
customized agreement with the Postal
Service.
For Priority Mail International
service, price increases, on the whole,
are 6.1 percent. Different increases
apply depending on the weight and
country group. Prices are set to fit
logically between Express Mail
International and First-Class Mail
International. The incentive to pay
postage online is maintained and a new
incentive is added for commercial
customers who pay postage by PERMIT
imprint and use authorized software to
prepare their mail. As with Express Mail
International, retail mail volume is not
expected to shift to the new lower
prices.
For International Direct Sacks—MBags (Airmail M-Bags), prices rise
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
around 5.9 percent. The country group
structure for this product is expanded to
nine country groups to match the
Express Mail International, Priority Mail
International and planned First-Class
Mail International country group
structures, providing convenience and
ease of use for customers.
For International Priority Airmail
(IPA), published prices generally
increase by 12.5 percent. For
International Surface Airlift (ISAL),
prices for ISC Drop Shipment will
increase 21.3 percent. In addition,
published prices for ISAL Direct
Shipment are eliminated and, in the
future, will only be available through
customized agreements.
Finally, prices for the following
International Ancillary Services used
with competitive international mail
services will increase: International
Certificate of Mailing, International
Registered Mail, International Return
Receipt, International Restricted
Delivery and certain International
Insurance prices (Priority Mail
International Insurance and Global
Express Guaranteed Insurance).
As shown in Attachment B, these
changes satisfy the statutory
requirements. They should not result in
the subsidization of competitive
products by market dominant products
(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). Each competitive
product should cover its attributable
costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)). They
should allow competitive products as a
whole to comply with 39 U.S.C.
3633(a)(3), which, as implemented by
39 CFR 3015.7(c), requires competitive
products to contribute a minimum of 5.5
percent to the Postal Service’s total
institutional costs.
Order
The changes in prices and classes set
forth herein shall be effective at 12:01
A.M. on May 12, 2008. We direct the
Secretary to have this decision
published in the Federal Register in
accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2).
We also direct management to file with
the Postal Regulatory Commission
appropriate notice of these changes.
By The Governors:
Alan C. Kessler,
Chairman.

POSTAL SERVICE
Change in Rates of General Applicability for Competitive
Products: Decision of the Governors of the Postal Service
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice sets forth changes in rates of general
applicability for competitive products.
DATES: Effective Date: May 12, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel J. Foucheaux, Jr., 202-268-
2989.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 3, 2008, pursuant to their
authority under 39 U.S.C. 3632, the Governors of the Postal Service
established prices and classification changes for competitive products.
The Governors' Decision and the record of proceedings in connection
with such decision are reprinted below in accordance with Sec.
3632(b)(2). Implementing regulations will be published separately in
the Federal Register.
Stanley F. Mires,
Chief Counsel, Legislative.
Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on
Changes in Rates and Classes of General Applicability for Competitive
Products (Governors' Decision No. 08-3)
March 4, 2008.
Statement of Explanation and Justification
Pursuant to our authority under section 3632 of title 39, as
amended by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006
(``PAEA''), we establish new prices of general applicability for the
Postal Service's competitive products, and such changes in
classifications as are necessary to define the new prices. The prices
and classification changes are shown in Attachment A and are described
in detail in the analysis provided by management in Attachment B. We
have reviewed that analysis and have evaluated the new prices and
classification changes in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632-3633 and 39
CFR 3015.2. We approve the changes set forth in Attachment A, finding
that they
[[Page 16328]]
are appropriate, and are consistent with the regulatory criteria. In
particular, we note that the price changes are expected to result in an
increase of contribution for each competitive product.
For Express Mail service, the overall increase is approximately 3.1
percent. A number of substantive changes are made to the Express Mail
price categories. First, the current unzoned retail price structure is
replaced with prices that are zoned to reflect the practice in the
marketplace and to align prices better with costs. Second, lower prices
are available for customers who use alternate postage payment systems
that capture more detailed customer information, such as the online
service, Click-N-Ship, or corporate accounts. Even lower prices will be
available to customers who use corporate accounts and whose average
daily volumes exceed a minimum threshold. These changes will improve
Express Mail's competitive position, especially with regard to small
and medium-sized businesses.
For Priority Mail service, the overall price increase is 4 percent.
The average Priority Mail retail price increases by about 6 percent.
Customers who use electronic postage and meet other requirements are
provided reduced prices. On average, these prices are 3.5 percent lower
than retail prices; however, the size of the reduction varies for each
specific price point, based on competitive considerations. This should
increase volume and revenue from small-volume commercial shippers.
For Parcel Select service, the overall average price increase is
5.7 percent. Prices increase more for Destination BMC entry than for
Destination Delivery Unit entry in order to further encourage customers
to bring packages to the DDU. Incentives are provided, in the form of
declining block prices, for shippers with greater than $5 million
annual Parcel Select revenue who increase their volume from the
previous twelve month period. To further encourage growth, qualifying
shippers whose annual Parcel Select volume grows more than 10 percent
will receive rebates ranging from 2 to 14 percent of DDU postage based
on their annual postage revenues.
For Parcel Return Service, prices have an overall increase of 2
percent to encourage growth. Prices are realigned between the return
delivery unit (RDU) and return BMC categories, such that RBMC has an
approximately 9 percent increase and RDU prices are decreased 21
percent.
For Global Express Guaranteed service, the overall price increase
is 5.2 percent. Price increases vary by country group and weight
increment. An online price remains available. The relatively modest
price increases and continued availability of the lower online price
should allow this service to remain competitive.
For Express Mail International service, prices will increase on
average by 6 percent. Price increases vary by country group and weight
increment. Customers using Click-N-Ship or other online applications
continue to receive a lower price. In addition, two new incentives are
provided for commercial mailers. First, customers receive a reduced
price if they pay postage by PERMIT imprint and use authorized software
to prepare their mail. This software allows mailers to create online
Customs forms, print labels, and track packages. Second, customers also
receive a lower price if they use this authorized software to prepare
their mail and pay their postage through an Express Mail Corporate
Account; this incentive is tiered, depending on volume or postage
minimums. The new incentives are expected to result in little or no
shift of retail mail volume to the lower prices; rather, they are
expected to be used by new customers, or customers who previously had a
customized agreement with the Postal Service.
For Priority Mail International service, price increases, on the
whole, are 6.1 percent. Different increases apply depending on the
weight and country group. Prices are set to fit logically between
Express Mail International and First-Class Mail International. The
incentive to pay postage online is maintained and a new incentive is
added for commercial customers who pay postage by PERMIT imprint and
use authorized software to prepare their mail. As with Express Mail
International, retail mail volume is not expected to shift to the new
lower prices.
For International Direct Sacks--M-Bags (Airmail M-Bags), prices
rise around 5.9 percent. The country group structure for this product
is expanded to nine country groups to match the Express Mail
International, Priority Mail International and planned First-Class Mail
International country group structures, providing convenience and ease
of use for customers.
For International Priority Airmail (IPA), published prices
generally increase by 12.5 percent. For International Surface Airlift
(ISAL), prices for ISC Drop Shipment will increase 21.3 percent. In
addition, published prices for ISAL Direct Shipment are eliminated and,
in the future, will only be available through customized agreements.
Finally, prices for the following International Ancillary Services
used with competitive international mail services will increase:
International Certificate of Mailing, International Registered Mail,
International Return Receipt, International Restricted Delivery and
certain International Insurance prices (Priority Mail International
Insurance and Global Express Guaranteed Insurance).
As shown in Attachment B, these changes satisfy the statutory
requirements. They should not result in the subsidization of
competitive products by market dominant products (39 U.S.C.
3633(a)(1)). Each competitive product should cover its attributable

of 5.5 percent to the Postal Service's total institutional costs.
