NRC staff guidance for reviewing and

Specifically, items or features or aspects
of the design identified during the
licensing review as important, will be
highlighted to verify compliance with
specific commitments during the
preoperational readiness reviews.
The SRP has been updated to improve
and enhance the guidance by providing
increased clarity and definition in
specific areas of the licensing program
and adding additional guidance in areas
where information was lacking or not
suitably addressed. This effort was
focused on improving both the clarity,

the Agency positions that support
compliance with current regulations. In
addition, this revision has been
reformatted and reorganized to improve
the consistency within the document.

II. Postal Service Filing
III. Commission Action
IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Overview
On August 11, 2009, the Postal
Service filed with the Commission a
notice announcing its intention,
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3622 and 39 CFR
part 3010, to adjust prices for certain
First-Class Mail presorted letters, flats
and cards sent by qualifying mailers.1
The Postal Service characterizes the
planned adjustment as a temporary
First-Class Mail Incentive Program
(Program) to spur volume growth during
the current recession. Key elements of
the Program include a 20 percent rebate
on qualifying incremental volume;
certain volume thresholds; and a 3month duration, extending from October
1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Id.
at 2–3.
The Notice addresses plans for public
notice; program description and
administration; price cap compliance;
statutory objectives and factors;
workshare discounts; and impact on
preferred rates. A schedule of the new
temporary prices and conforming
revisions to Mail Classification
Schedule language appear in Appendix
A to the Notice in compliance with
Commission rules 3010.14(a)(1) and
3010.14(b)(9).
II. Postal Service Filing
Program description. The Postal
Service asserts that the proposed
Program will give eligible companies a
20 percent postage rebate on qualifying
presort letter, flat and card volumes
mailed between October 1, 2009 and
December 31, 2009. Id. Qualifying
volume is defined as a single company’s
First-Class Mail volume over and above
a predetermined threshold. Id. at 3.
Eligibility; rebate threshold. To be
eligible to participate in the Program, a
company must have mailed 500,000 or
more non-parcel First-Class Mail pieces
between October 1 and December 31 in
both 2007 and 2008 through companyowned permit accounts or through
permits set up on the company’s behalf
by a Mail Service Provider. Id.
Participants must then exceed a
company-specific threshold during
October 1, 2009 through December 31,
2009 to qualify for the incentive rebate.2
1 United States Postal Service Notice of MarketDominant Price Adjustment, August 11, 2009
(Notice). The Postal Service also refers to the
qualifying presorted pieces as non-parcel First-Class
Mail. See, for example, Id. at 4.
2 This threshold is determined by computing the
ratio of the October 1–December 31, 2008 nonparcel First-Class Mail presorted volume to the
October 1–December 31, 2007 non-parcel FirstClass Mail presorted volume. The result is then

Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Incremental volume mailed by an
eligible, participating company above
the calculated threshold will earn a 20
percent rebate.
Rebate calculation; credit. The rebate
will be calculated as the average
revenue per piece for all eligible mail
volume during the program period
multiplied by the incremental volume
above the threshold during the program
period. It will be credited to the
company’s permit trust account. Id.
Program intent. The stated intent of
the Program is to provide an incentive
for customers to increase non-parcel
First-Class Mail presorted volume above
the volume they otherwise would have
sent. To protect this core element of the
Program, the Postal Service includes
provisions to address the possibility of
strategic shifting or withholding of
volume. Id. at 4.
Program administration. The Notice
addresses several aspects of program
administration, including methods for
contacting eligible mailers; procedures
for establishing company thresholds and
crediting rebates to permit trust
accounts; data collection and reporting
(including filing some data under seal);
financial impact; and risk. See generally
id. at 4–8.
Under the data collection plan, the
Postal Service will submit Programrelated data to the Commission 90 days
after the payment of incentive rebates.
The Notice describes specific
components of the plan, notes that some
participant data will be filed under seal,
and states that actual administrative
costs will be identified. Id. at 6.
With respect to the financial aspects
of the Program, the Postal Service
expects, based on the 20 percent rebate
and the expressed interest of customers,
a contribution increase of around $24
million and a revenue increase, net of
the 20 percent rebate, of $43 million. It
anticipates new volume of about 103
million pieces, which it says will
generate about $31 million in additional
revenue and $16 million in
contribution. It also expects about 103
million pieces to ‘‘buy up’’ from
Standard Mail, providing an additional
$12 million in revenue and $8 million
in contribution. Id. at 7. Administrative
costs are expected to total $809,000, and
to be easily covered by the contribution
generated from additional volume. Id.
The Postal Service’s primary measure
of success will be incremental revenue
and volume growth over the threshold
for participating customers, but
qualitative aspects, such as the Postal
multiplied by the company’s October 1–December
31, 2008 non-parcel First-Class Mail presorted
volume. Id.
