38098
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 146 / Friday, July 31, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
for further review may be made has
expired.
(6) Final resolution occurs when the
designated or related summons or any
order enforcing any part of the
designated or related summons is fully
complied with and all appeals or
requests for further review are disposed
of, the period in which an appeal may
be taken has expired or the period in
which a request for further review may
be made has expired.
(d) Special rules—(1) Number of
summonses that may be issued—(i)
Designated summons. Only one
designated summons may be issued in
connection with the examination of a
specific taxable year or other period of
a corporation. A designated summons
may cover more than one year or other
period of a corporation. The designated
summons may require production of
information that was previously sought
in a summons (other than a designated
summons) issued in the course of the
examination of that particular
corporation if that information was not
previously produced.
(ii) Related summonses. There is no
restriction on the number of related
summonses that may be issued in
connection with the examination of a
corporation. As provided in paragraph
(c)(2) of this section, however, a related
summons must be issued within the 30day period that begins on the date on
which the designated summons to
which it relates is issued and must
relate to the same return as the
designated summons. A related
summons may request the same
information as the designated summons.
(2) Time within which court
proceedings must be brought. In order
for the period of limitations on
assessment to be suspended under
section 6503(j), a court proceeding to
enforce or to quash a designated or
related summons must be instituted
within the period of limitations on
assessment provided in section 6501
that is otherwise applicable to the tax
return.
(3) Computation of suspension period
if multiple court proceedings are
instituted. If multiple court proceedings
are instituted to enforce or to quash a
designated or one or more related
summonses concerning the same tax
return, the period of limitations on
assessment is suspended beginning on
the date the first court proceeding is
brought. The suspension shall end on
the date that is the latest date on which
the judicial enforcement period, plus
the 120 day or 60 day period (depending
on whether the court requires any
compliance) as provided in paragraph
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:21 Jul 30, 2009
Jkt 217001
(b) of this section, expires with respect
to each summons.
(4) Effect on other suspension
periods—(i) In general. Suspensions of
the period of limitations under section
6501 provided for under subsections
7609(e)(1) and (e)(2) do not apply to any
summons that is issued pursuant to
section 6503(j). The suspension under
section 6503(j) of the running of the
period of limitations on assessment
under section 6501 is independent of,
and may run concurrent with, any other
suspension of the period of limitations
on assessment that applies to the tax
return to which the designated or
related summons relates.
(ii) Examples. The rules of paragraph
(d)(4)(i) of this section are illustrated by
the following examples:
Example 1. The period of limitations on
assessment against Corporation P, a calendar
year taxpayer, for its 2007 return is
scheduled to end on March 17, 2011.
(Ordinarily, Corporation P’s returns are filed
on March 15th of the following year, but
March 15, 2008, was a Saturday, and
Corporation P timely filed its return on the
subsequent Monday, March 17, 2008, making
March 17, 2011 the last day of the period of
limitations on assessment for Corporation P’s
2007 tax year.) On January 4, 2011, a
designated summons is issued to Corporation
P concerning its 2007 return. On March 3,
2011 (14 days before the period of limitations
on assessment would otherwise expire with
respect to Corporation P’s 2007 return), a
court proceeding is brought to enforce the
designated summons issued to Corporation P.
On June 6, 2011, the court orders Corporation
P to comply with the designated summons.
Corporation P does not appeal the court’s
order. On September 6, 2011, agents for
Corporation P deliver material that they state
are the records requested by the designated
summons. On October 13, 2011, a final
resolution to Corporation P’s response to the
designated summons occurs when it is
determined that Corporation P has fully
complied with the court’s order. The
suspension period applicable with respect to
the designated summons issued to
Corporation P consists of the judicial
enforcement period (March 3, 2011, through
October 13, 2011) and an additional 120-day
period under section 6503(j)(1)(B), because
the court required Corporation P to comply
with the designated summons. Thus, the
suspension period applicable with respect to
the designated summons issued to
Corporation P begins on March 3, 2011, and
ends on February 10, 2012. Under the facts
of this Example 1, the period of limitations
on assessment against Corporation P further
extends to February 24, 2012, to account for
the additional 14 days that remained on the
period of limitations on assessment under
section 6501 when the suspension period
under section 6503(j) began.
Example 2. Assume the same facts set forth
in Example 1, except that in addition to the
issuance of the designated summons and
related enforcement proceedings, on April 5,
2011, a summons concerning Corporation P’s
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
2007 return is issued and served on
individual A, a third party. This summons is
not a related summons because it was not
issued during the 30-day period that began
on the date the designated summons was
issued. The third-party summons served on
individual A is subject to the notice
requirements of section 7609(a). Final
resolution of individual A’s response to this
summons does not occur until February 15,
2012. Because there is no final resolution of
individual A’s response to this summons by
October 5, 2011, which is six months from
the date of service of the summons, the
period of limitations on assessment against
Corporation P is suspended under section
7609(e)(2) to the date on which there is a
final resolution to that response for the
purposes of section 7609(e)(2). Moreover,
because final resolution to the summons
served on individual A does not occur until
after February 10, 2012, the end of the
suspension period for the designated
summons, the period of limitations on
assessment against Corporation P expires 14
days after the date that the final resolution
as provided for in section 7609(e)(2) occurs
with respect to the summons served on
individual A.
(5) Computation of 60-day period
when last day of assessment period falls
on a weekend or holiday. For purposes
of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, in
determining whether a designated
summons has been issued at least 60
days before the date on which the
period of limitations on assessment
prescribed in section 6501 expires, the
provisions of section 7503 apply when
the last day of the assessment period
falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday.
(e) Effective/applicability date. This
section is applicable on July 31, 2009.
Approved: July 15, 2009.

Deputy Commissioner for Services and
Enforcement.

Acting Assistant Secretary of the Treasury

I. Background
rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
The Postal Service seeks to add a new
product identified as Priority Mail
Contract 14 to the Competitive Product
List. For the reasons discussed below,
the Commission approves the Request.
On June 29, 2009, the Postal Service
filed a formal request pursuant to 39
U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq.
to add Priority Mail Contract 14 to the
Competitive Product List.1 The Postal
Service asserts that the Priority Mail
Contract 14 product is a competitive
product ‘‘not of general applicability’’
within the meaning of 39 U.S.C.
3632(b)(3). This Request has been
assigned Docket No. MC2009–30.
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. The contract has been
assigned Docket No. CP2009–40.
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following materials: (1)
A redacted version of the contract
which, among other things, provides
that the contract will expire 3 years
from the effective date, which is
proposed to be 1 day after the
Commission issues all regulatory
approvals;2 (2) requested changes in the
Mail Classification Schedule product
list; 3 (3) a Statement of Supporting
Justification as required by 39 CFR
3020.32; 4 and (4) certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).5
The Postal Service also references
Governors’ Decision 09–6, filed in
Docket No. MC2009–25, as
authorization of the new product. Id.

Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,

Acting 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 coverage of institutional
costs, and will increase contribution
toward the requisite 5.5 percent of the
Postal Service’s total institutional costs.
Request, Attachment C, at 1. W. Ashley
Lyons, Manager, Regulatory Reporting
and Cost Analysis, Finance Department,
certifies that the contract complies with
39 U.S.C. 3633(a). See id., Attachment
D.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
supporting data and the unredacted
contract, under seal.6 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
confidential. Id. at 2–3.
In Order No. 234, the Commission
gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and
provided the public with an opportunity
to comment.7 On July 1, 2009,
Chairman’s Information Request No. 1
(CHIR No. 1) was issued.8 The Postal
Service filed its response to Question
No. 4 on July 1, 2009, and its responses
to Question Nos. 1 through 3 (under
seal) on July 8, 2009.9
II. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public
Representative.10 No comments were
submitted by other interested parties.
The Public Representative states that the
Postal Service’s filing satisfies the
procedural requirements for proposing a
new product and concludes that the
Priority Mail Contract 14 agreement
meets the pertinent elements of title 39.
Id. at 1, 3–4. He further states that the

agreement appears to be beneficial to
the general public. Id. at 4.
The Public Representative believes
that ‘‘[f]or the sake of the general public,
some mention in the text of the Notice,
or a copy of the Governors’ Decision
(albeit already filed with the
Commission), would be helpful.’’ Id. at
4. In support of this contention, he notes
that the ‘‘general public may only access
(absent a qualified [and granted] request
to the Commission for access to
confidential material) the public
materials in this docket posted online.’’
Id.
III. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the
Request, the contract, the financial
analysis provided under seal that
accompanies it, the responses to CHIR
No. 1, and the comments filed by the
Public Representative.
Statutory requirements. The
Commission’s statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Priority
Mail Contract 14 to either the Market
Dominant Product List or to the
Competitive Product List. 39 U.S.C.
3642. As part of this responsibility, the
Commission also reviews the proposal
for compliance with the Postal
Accountability and Enhancement Act
(PAEA) requirements. This includes, for
proposed competitive products, a
review of the provisions applicable to
rates for competitive products. 39 U.S.C.
3633.
Product list assignment. In
determining whether to assign Priority
Mail Contract 14 as a product to the
Market Dominant Product List or the
Competitive Product List, the
Commission must consider whether the
Postal Service exercises sufficient
market power that it can effectively set
the price of such product substantially
above costs, raise prices significantly,
decrease quality, or decrease output,
without risk of losing a significant level
of business to other firms offering
similar products. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If
so, the product will be categorized as
market dominant. The competitive
category of products shall consist of all
other products.
The Commission is further required to
consider the availability and nature of
enterprises in the private sector engaged
in the delivery of the product, the views
of those who use the product, and the
likely impact on small business
concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3).
The Postal Service asserts that its
bargaining position is constrained by
the existence of other shippers who can
provide similar services, thus
precluding it from taking unilateral
action to increase prices without the
E:\FR\FM\31JYR1.SGM

rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with RULES
38100
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 146 / Friday, July 31, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
risk of losing volume to private
companies. Request, Attachment C,
para. (d). The Postal Service also
contends that it may not decrease
quality or output without risking the
loss of business to competitors that offer
similar expedited delivery services. Id.
It further states that the contract partner
supports the addition of the contract to
the Competitive Product List to
effectuate the negotiated contractual
terms. Id. at para. (g). Finally, the Postal
Service states that the market for
expedited delivery services is highly
competitive and requires a substantial
infrastructure to support a national
network. It indicates that large carriers
serve this market. Accordingly, the
Postal Service states that it is unaware
of any small business concerns that
could offer comparable service for this
customer. Id. at para. (h).
No commenter opposes the proposed
classification of Priority Mail Contract
14 as competitive. Having considered
the statutory requirements and the
support offered by the Postal Service,
the Commission finds that Priority Mail
Contract 14 is appropriately classified as
a competitive product and should be
added to the Competitive Product List.
Cost considerations. The Postal
Service presents a financial analysis
showing that Priority Mail Contract 14
results in cost savings while ensuring
that the contract covers its attributable
costs, does not result in subsidization of
competitive products by market
dominant products, and increases
contribution from competitive products.
Based on the data submitted, the
Commission finds that Priority Mail
Contract 14 should cover its attributable
costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not
lead to the subsidization of competitive
products by market dominant products
(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have
a positive effect on competitive
products’ contribution to institutional
costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an
initial review of proposed Priority Mail
Contract 14 indicates that it comports
with the provisions applicable to rates
for competitive products.
Other considerations. The Postal
Service shall promptly notify the
Commission of the scheduled
termination date of the agreement. If the
agreement terminates earlier than
anticipated, the Postal Service shall
inform the Commission prior to the new
termination date. The Commission will
then remove the product from the Mail
Classification Schedule at the earliest
possible opportunity.
Furthermore, the Commission agrees
with the Public Representative’s
suggestion that due to confidentiality
concerns, each docket should be self-
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
contained. In the future, the Postal
Service should not cross-reference to
other dockets (where documents in that
referenced docket are filed under seal)
in support of a different docket. This
ensures that participants will have
complete access to all information upon
which the Postal Service proposes to
rely.
In conclusion, the Commission
approves Priority Mail Contract 14 as a
new product. The revision to the
Competitive Product List is shown
below the signature of this order and is
effective upon issuance of this order.
IV. Ordering Paragraphs

Commission of the scheduled
termination date and update the
Commission if termination occurs prior
to that date, as discussed in this order.

I. Background
II. Comments
III. Commission Analysis
IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Background
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product identified as
Priority Mail Contract 14 to the Competitive Product List. For the
reasons discussed below, the Commission approves the Request.
On June 29, 2009, the Postal Service filed a formal request
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to add Priority
Mail Contract 14 to the Competitive Product List.\1\ The Postal Service
asserts that the Priority Mail Contract 14 product is a competitive
product ``not of general applicability'' within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2009-30.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Request of the United States Postal Service to Add Priority
Mail Contract 14 to Competitive Product List and Notice of Filing
(Under Seal) of Contract and Supporting Data, June 29, 2009
(Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. The contract has been assigned Docket No. CP2009-40.
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following
materials: (1) A redacted version of the contract which, among other
things, provides that the contract will expire 3 years from the
effective date, which is proposed to be 1 day after the Commission
issues all regulatory approvals;\2\ (2) requested changes in the Mail
Classification Schedule product list; \3\ (3) a Statement of Supporting
Justification as required by 39 CFR 3020.32; \4\ and (4) certification
of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).\5\ The Postal Service also
references Governors' Decision 09-6, filed in Docket No. MC2009-25, as
authorization of the new product. Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Attachment A to the Request.
\3\ Attachment B to the Request.
\4\ Attachment C to the Request.
\5\ Attachment D to the Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Statement of Supporting Justification, Mary Prince Anderson,
Acting 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 coverage of
institutional costs, and will increase contribution toward the
requisite 5.5 percent of the Postal Service's total institutional
costs. Request, Attachment C, at 1. W. Ashley Lyons, Manager,
Regulatory Reporting and Cost Analysis, Finance Department, certifies
that the contract complies with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). See id., Attachment
D.
The Postal Service filed much of the supporting materials,
including the supporting data and the unredacted contract, under
seal.\6\ 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 confidential. Id. at 2-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The Postal Service also filed an errata of its supporting
data on July 2, 2009. See Notice of the United States Postal Service
of Filing Under Seal of Corrected Workbook Containing Cost and
Revenue Data (Errata), July 2, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Order No. 234, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an
opportunity to comment.\7\ On July 1, 2009, Chairman's Information
Request No. 1 (CHIR No. 1) was issued.\8\ The Postal Service filed its
response to Question No. 4 on July 1, 2009, and its responses to
Question Nos. 1 through 3 (under seal) on July 8, 2009.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ PRC Order No. 234, Notice and Order Concerning Priority Mail
Contract 14 Negotiated Service Agreement, July 1, 2009 (Order No.
234).
\8\ Chairman's Information Request No. 1 and Notice of Filing of
Question Under Seal, July 1, 2009.
\9\ Response of the United States Postal Service to Chairman's
Information Request No. 1, Question 4, July 1, 2009; Notice of the
United States Postal Service of Filing Under Seal of Responses to
Chairman's Information Request No. 1, Questions 1-3, July 8, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public Representative.\10\ No comments
were submitted by other interested parties. The Public Representative
states that the Postal Service's filing satisfies the procedural
requirements for proposing a new product and concludes that the
Priority Mail Contract 14 agreement meets the pertinent elements of
title 39. Id. at 1, 3-4. He further states that the agreement appears
to be beneficial to the general public. Id. at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Public Representative Comments in Response to United States
Postal Service Notice of Establishment of Rates and Class Not of
General Applicability (Priority Contract 14), July 10, 2009 (Public
Representative Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Public Representative believes that ``[f]or the sake of the
general public, some mention in the text of the Notice, or a copy of
the Governors' Decision (albeit already filed with the Commission),
would be helpful.'' Id. at 4. In support of this contention, he notes
that the ``general public may only access (absent a qualified [and
granted] request to the Commission for access to confidential material)
the public materials in this docket posted online.'' Id.
III. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the Request, the contract, the
financial analysis provided under seal that accompanies it, the
responses to CHIR No. 1, and the comments filed by the Public
Representative.
Statutory requirements. The Commission's statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Priority Mail Contract 14 to either
the Market Dominant Product List or to the Competitive Product List. 39
U.S.C. 3642. As part of this responsibility, the Commission also
reviews the proposal for compliance with the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act (PAEA) requirements. This includes, for proposed
competitive products, a review of the provisions applicable to rates
for competitive products. 39 U.S.C. 3633.
Product list assignment. In determining whether to assign Priority
Mail Contract 14 as a product to the Market Dominant Product List or
the Competitive Product List, the Commission must consider whether the
Postal Service exercises sufficient market power that it can
effectively set the price of such product substantially above costs,
raise prices significantly, decrease quality, or decrease output,
without risk of losing a significant level of business to other firms
offering similar products. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If so, the product
will be categorized as market dominant. The competitive category of
products shall consist of all other products.
The Commission is further required to consider the availability and
nature of enterprises in the private sector engaged in the delivery of
the product, the views of those who use the product, and the likely
impact on small business concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3).
The Postal Service asserts that its bargaining position is
constrained by the existence of other shippers who can provide similar
services, thus precluding it from taking unilateral action to increase
prices without the
[[Page 38100]]
risk of losing volume to private companies. Request, Attachment C,
para. (d). The Postal Service also contends that it may not decrease
quality or output without risking the loss of business to competitors
that offer similar expedited delivery services. Id. It further states
that the contract partner supports the addition of the contract to the
Competitive Product List to effectuate the negotiated contractual
terms. Id. at para. (g). Finally, the Postal Service states that the
market for expedited delivery services is highly competitive and
requires a substantial infrastructure to support a national network. It
indicates that large carriers serve this market. Accordingly, the
Postal Service states that it is unaware of any small business concerns
that could offer comparable service for this customer. Id. at para.
(h).
No commenter opposes the proposed classification of Priority Mail
Contract 14 as competitive. Having considered the statutory
requirements and the support offered by the Postal Service, the
Commission finds that Priority Mail Contract 14 is appropriately
classified as a competitive product and should be added to the
Competitive Product List.
Cost considerations. The Postal Service presents a financial
analysis showing that Priority Mail Contract 14 results in cost savings
while ensuring that the contract covers its attributable costs, does
not result in subsidization of competitive products by market dominant
products, and increases contribution from competitive products.
Based on the data submitted, the Commission finds that Priority
Mail Contract 14 should cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C.
3633(a)(2)), should not lead to the subsidization of competitive
products by market dominant products (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should
have a positive effect on competitive products' contribution to
institutional costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an initial review of
proposed Priority Mail Contract 14 indicates that it comports with the
provisions applicable to rates for competitive products.
Other considerations. The Postal Service shall promptly notify the
Commission of the scheduled termination date of the agreement. If the
agreement terminates earlier than anticipated, the Postal Service shall
inform the Commission prior to the new termination date. The Commission
will then remove the product from the Mail Classification Schedule at
the earliest possible opportunity.
Furthermore, the Commission agrees with the Public Representative's
suggestion that due to confidentiality concerns, each docket should be
self-contained. In the future, the Postal Service should not cross-
reference to other dockets (where documents in that referenced docket
are filed under seal) in support of a different docket. This ensures
that participants will have complete access to all information upon
which the Postal Service proposes to rely.
In conclusion, the Commission approves Priority Mail Contract 14 as
a new product. The revision to the Competitive Product List is shown
below the signature of this order and is effective upon issuance of
this order.
IV. Ordering Paragraphs

1. Priority Mail Contract 14 (MC2009-30 and CP2009-40) is added to

termination date and update the Commission if termination occurs prior
to that date, as discussed in this order.
3. The Secretary shall arrange for the publication of this order in
the Federal Register.
Issued: July 14, 2009.
By the Commission.
