Sharing alliance and the Nuclear Energy
Institute (NEI), respectively. On July 18,
2008, the NRC staff discussed these
comments during a public meeting with
NEI and industry representatives, as
documented in ‘‘Summary of the
License Renewal Meeting Held between
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission Staff and the Nuclear
Energy Institute,’’ dated October 3, 2008
(ML082480547). Overall, the comments
indicated that the NRC staff’s proposed
guidance is too prescriptive and does
not acknowledge the unique design
aspects of each plant, as reflected in the
plant’s current licensing basis.
The NRC staff evaluated both the
comments submitted in writing, and
those provided during the July 18, 2008,
meeting and subsequent public license
renewal meetings, and determined that
the proposed clarification in LR–ISG–
2008–01 is unnecessary because the
NRC staff’s review of license renewal
applications is based on the plantspecific current licensing bases,
regulatory requirements, and offsite
power design configurations. As such,
the NRC staff will continue to review
license renewal applications against the
acceptance criteria in SRP–LR section
2.5.2.1.1 to ensure applicants include
within the scope of license renewal the
systems, structures, and components
that perform functions to demonstrate
compliance with the Station Blackout
Rule, as required by 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3).
Therefore, by this action, the NRC is
withdrawing LR–ISG–2008–01.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
On July 2, 2009, the Postal Service
filed a formal request pursuant to 39
VerDate Nov<24>2008
18:36 Jul 10, 2009
Jkt 217001
U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq.
to add Express Mail & Priority Mail
Contract 8 to the Competitive Product
List.1 On July 6, 2009, the Postal Service
filed a revised version of its filing which
includes attachments inadvertently
omitted from the July 2, 2009 request.2
The Postal Service asserts that the
Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 8
product is a competitive product ‘‘not of
general applicability’’ within the
meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at
1. The Request has been assigned
Docket No. MC2009–33.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a contract
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. Id. at 2. The contract has
been assigned Docket No. CP2009–44.
Request. The Request incorporates (1)
A redacted version of the Governors’
Decision authorizing the new product;
(2) a redacted version of the contract; (3)
requested changes to the Mail
Classification Schedule product list; (4)
a Statement of Supporting Justification
as required by 39 CFR 3020.32; and (5)
certification of compliance with 39
U.S.C. 3633(a).3 Substantively, the
Request seeks to add Express Mail &
Priority Mail Contract 8 to the
Competitive Product List. Request at
1–2.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,
Manager, Sales and Communications,
Expedited Shipping, asserts that the
service to be provided under the
contract will cover its attributable costs,
make a positive contribution to
institutional costs, and increase
contribution toward the requisite 5.5
percent of the Postal Service’s total
institutional costs. Id., Attachment D.
Thus, Ms. Anderson contends there will
be no issue of subsidization of
1 Request of the United States Postal Service to
Add Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 8 to
Competitive Product List and Notice of
Establishment of Rates and Class Not of General
Applicability, July 2, 2009.
2 Errata to Request of the United States Postal
Service to Add Express Mail & Priority Mail
Contract 8 to Competitive Product List and Notice
of Establishment of Rates and Class Not of General
Applicability, July 6, 2009 (Request).
3 Attachment A to the Request consists of the
redacted Decision of the Governors of the United
States Postal Service on Establishment of Rate and
Class Not of General Applicability for Express Mail
and Priority Mail Services (Governors’ Decision No.
09–11). The Governors’ Decision includes an
attachment which provides an analysis of the
proposed Express Mail and Priority Mail Contract
8 and certification of the Governors’ vote.
Attachment B is the redacted version of the
contract. Attachment C shows the requested
changes to the Mail Classification Schedule product
list. Attachment D provides a Statement of
Supporting Justification for the Request.
Attachment E provides the certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).

competitive products by market
dominant products as a result of this
contract. Id.
Related contract. A redacted version
of the specific Express Mail & Priority
Mail Contract 8 is included with the
Request. The contract has an initial term
of 3 years and is to be effective 1 day
after the Commission provides all
necessary regulatory approvals. The
Postal Service represents that the
contract is consistent with 39 U.S.C.
3633(a) and 39 CFR 3015.7(c). See id.,
Attachment A and Attachment E. It
notes that actual performance under this
contract could vary from estimates, but
concludes that the risks are manageable.
Id., Attachment A.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
Governors’ Decision and the specific
Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 8,
under seal. In its Request, the Postal
Service maintains that the contract and
related financial information, including
the customer’s name and the
accompanying analyses that provide
prices, terms, conditions, and financial
projections should remain under seal.
Id. at 2–3.
II. Notice of Filings
The Commission establishes Docket
Nos. MC2009–33 and CP2009–44 for
consideration of the Request pertaining
to the proposed Express Mail & Priority
Mail Contract 8 product and the related
contract, respectively. In keeping with
practice, these dockets are addressed on
a consolidated basis for purposes of this
Order; however, future filings should be
made in the specific docket in which
issues being addressed pertain.
Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Postal
Service’s filings in the captioned
dockets are consistent with the policies
of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 3642 and 39
CFR part 3015 and 39 CFR part 3020
subpart B. Comments are due no later
than July 15, 2009. The public portions
of these filings can be accessed via the
