Applicant: Charles D. Amsler, Jr., Department of Biology, University of Alabama, Birmingham, AL 35294–1170. Permit Application No. 2010–007. Activity for Which Permit Is Requested Take and Introduce Non-indigenous Species into Antarctica. The applicant plans to collect a number of filamentous brown algal endophytes for identification and additional extract bioassays back in the States. The applicant will use previously collected Antarctic macro algae in culture to perform feeding bioassays where amphipods are offered algae from culture and extract bioassays where the effects of secondary metabolites extracted from large macro algae are measured on algae from culture. Spores will be released from cultured endophytic algae and to expose macrophytes to cell-free extracts to test for oxidative burst defenses in the macrophytes. The experiments will be conducted to gain a better understanding of epiphytic and endophytic algae (both filamentous macroalgae and diatoms) with larger macroalgae and with mesoherbivores such as amphipods.

E9–16912 Filed 7–13–09; 4:15 pm] BILLING CODE 7590–01–P POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. C2009–1; Order No. 235] Complaint of GameFly, Inc. Postal Regulatory Commission. Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: The Commission has initiated a case to address allegations of undue discrimination and other issues raised by GameFly, Inc. (GameFly) in a formal complaint related to sending and receiving DVDs. Accepting the case will provide an opportunity for review of pertinent issues. DATES: 1. Joint prehearing conference memorandum is due July 20, 2009. 2. Notices of intervention are due July 22, 2009. 3. A prehearing conference will be held July 23, 2009 (10 a.m.). ADDRESSES: Submit comments electronically via the Commission’s Filing Online system at https:// www.prc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel, 202–789–6820 and stephen.sharfman@prc.gov. The Complaint of GameFly, Inc. (Complaint) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34373 was filed on April 23, 2009. The Complaint asserts several claims that concern unreasonable discrimination and other undue preferences allowed by the United States Postal Service in violation of the law. In support of its Complaint, GameFly, Inc. (GameFly) alleges that the Postal Service extended preferential services and inequitable rates to certain high volume rival mailers who similarly use First-Class Mail to send and receive DVDs. GameFly specifically contends its pieces are being processed through the automated letter mail processing equipment that continues to cause damage, and that the favored high volume DVD mailers are not suffering the high level of broken DVDs. It further alleges that ever since it resorted to higher cost flat rates and inserts to reduce breakage, it is still suffering more damage than these other mailers, while it is also paying the additional ounce postage charges and more for the flats shape of its pieces. The Answer of the United States Postal Service (Answer) in response to the Complaint was filed on May 26, 2009, together with a Motion of the United States Postal Service for Partial Dismissal of Complaint (Motion for Partial Dismissal). The Answer denied that the Postal Service’s updated policy favors special handling by hand for inbound pieces, even though some exceptions arise in the field. The Motion for Partial Dismissal asserts that GameFly’s reliance upon 39 U.S.C. 404(b) for jurisdiction appears misplaced. On June 2, 2009, GameFly, under a Motion of GameFly, Inc. for Leave to File Reply to Requests of the USPS for Disposition of Complaint (Motion for Leave), filed a Reply of GameFly, Inc. to Requests of the USPS for Disposition of Complaint (Reply). For the reasons explained below, the Commission concludes it has jurisdiction over the dispute, grants GameFly’s Motion for Leave, and, upon a review of the pleadings, denies the Postal Service’s Motion for Partial Dismissal. The Commission also concludes that the Complaint raises material issues of fact and law, and shall begin proceedings to hear the issues involved. 39 U.S.C. 3662(b). I. The GameFly Complaint GameFly claims that the rates and services extended to some high volume DVD mailers violate 39 U.S.C. 101(d), 403(c), 404(b) and 3622(b)(8), which prohibit undue discrimination. Complaint at 1. It explains that it, like many other businesses that rent DVDs to consumers, uses a two-way DVD mailer. Id. at 3. It distributes game DVDs to E:\FR\FM\15JYN1.SGM 15JYN1
