On October 3, 2008, the Postal Service

entered into an additional Global
Expedited Package Services 1 (GEPS 1)
contract.1 GEPS 1 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 previously
submitted GEPS agreements, and
supported by the Governors’ Decision
filed in Docket No. CP2008–5.2 Id. at 1–
2. It further notes that in Order No. 86,
which established GEPS 1 as a product,
the Commission held that additional

Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited Package
Services 1 Negotiated Service Agreement, October
3, 2008 (Notice).

contracts may be included as part of the
GEPS 1 product if they meet the
requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and if
they are functionally equivalent to the
initial GEPS 1 contract filed in Docket
No. CP2008–5.3 Id. at 1.
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.
86. It submitted the contract and
supporting material under seal, and
attached a redacted (public) copy of the
certified statement required by 39 CFR
3015.5(c)(2) to the Notice. Id. at 1–2.
The Notice addresses reasons why the
instant GEPS 1 contract fits within the
Mail Classification Schedule language
for GEPS 1, explains expiration terms,
and discusses the Postal Service’s
interest in confidential treatment for the
contract and related material.4 Id. at 2–
3. It also provides the Postal Service’s
rationale for concluding that the instant
contract is functionally equivalent to the
initial contract filed in Docket No.
CP2008–5 and therefore should be
included within the GEPS 1 product. Id.
at 3–5.
