The Commission indicated that if a product is found to violate the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), e.g., does not satisfy section 3633(a)(2), the Postal Service may be without a suitable remedy until the rate change is permitted for the following year. Id. at 9. The Commission, therefore, appreciates the Postal Service’s filing the 2010 rates well in advance of the August 31, 2009 UPU deadline. In its Notice, the Postal Service indicates that the rates to take effect in 2010 are divided into two tiers. Tier one applies to postal operators with a performance-level agreement, such as EMS Pay-for-performance Plan participants and Kahala Posts Group. Tier two applies to all other postal operators that transmit EMS to the United States. Notice at 2–3. The Postal Service provided a listing of countries in each tier, noting that this list may be subject to change on January 1, 2010. Id.; Attachment 3. The Postal Service states that the China Post Group, whose inbound EMS rates were established by a bilateral agreement approved by the Commission in Docket Nos. CP2008–6 and CP2008– 7, is expected to join Tier 1 grouping. Id. at 3. The parties have agreed to have the bilateral agreement expire at the end of the one-year term. Id. at 3. The Postal Service maintains that the rates, related financial information, and certain portions of the certified statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2), should remain under seal. Id. at 4. III. Notice of Filing The Commission establishes Docket No. CP2009–57 for consideration of matters related to the issues identified in the Postal Service’s Notice. Interested persons may submit comments on whether the Postal Service’s contract is consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3622 or 3642. Comments are due no later than August 12, 2009. The public portions of these filings can be accessed via the Commission’s Web site (https:// www.prc.gov). The Commission appoints Paul L. Harrington as Public Representative in this proceeding. IV.
