If NRC staff makes the finding of need for SUNSI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins document processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents). If NRC staff makes the finding of need to know for SGI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins background check (including fingerprinting for a criminal history records check), information processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents), and readiness inspections. If NRC staff finds no ‘‘need,’’ ‘‘need to know,’’ or likelihood of standing, the deadline for petitioner/requester to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s denial of access; NRC staff files copy of access determination with the presiding officer (or Chief Administrative Judge or other designated officer, as appropriate).

Competitive Products Price Changes

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document announces the Postal Service's filing of a 
notice of price changes for certain competitive (shipping) products and 
invites public comment. In general, the price changes under 
consideration are for products that were not included in a more 
comprehensive set of changes implemented in January 2009. The reason 
for their exclusion is that the associated price changes are 
calculated, for the most part, with reference to certain market 
dominant products, and the timetable for implementation of pricing for 
these products is May of each year. Thus, deferral allows this 
relationship to be maintained. Changes for the competitive products 
identified in the Postal Service's notice are scheduled to occur on May 
11, 2009, which coincides with anticipated changes for market dominant 
products.

DATES: Comments are due February 24, 2009.
