Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 55076 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices not specifically address the case of a price decrease. No price change is proposed for Standard Mail. Thus, for Standard Mail the Postal Service argues that cap compliance calculations are even less appropriate. Id. at 5–7. Statutory objectives and factors. The Notice further provides, in compliance with rules 3010.14(b)(5) through 3010.14(b)(8), the Postal Service’s assessment of how the planned program helps achieve the objectives of 39 U.S.C. 3622(b) and properly takes into account the factors of 39 U.S.C. 3622(c). See generally id. at 8–12. With respect to statutory objectives, the Postal Service concludes that the price adjustment and classification changes do not substantially alter the degree to which First-Class Mail and Standard Mail prices already address the statutory objectives, or how they are addressed by the design of the system itself. It argues that by mitigating the assessments, the proposed changes reflect the Postal Service’s use of pricing flexibility (Objective 4) to address mailer concerns, and at most, only cause a slight decrease in revenue while still providing proper incentives (Objective 5). The Postal Service argues that high quality service will improve by encouraging use of Move Update (Objective 3). Finally, parallel assessment of 7 cents per piece for both First-Class Mail and Standard Mail is transparent and keeps administration of the assessment simple (Objective 6). Id. at 9. In terms of statutory factors, the Postal Service asserts that, as with the objectives, the price and classification changes do not substantially alter the degree to which First-Class Mail and Standard Mail address the factors of 39 U.S.C. 3622(c). The Postal Service asserts that the Move Update adjustments will encourage mailers to adopt Move Update while reasonably taking the impact of price changes into account (factors 3 and 7). The Postal Service uses the adjustments as an example of enhancing operational efficiency by reducing undeliverable-asaddressed mail through the use of customer supplied Change of Address orders (factors 7 and 12). Finally, the Postal Service contends that the adjustments should not materially affect the cost coverage of either First-Class Mail or Standard Mail (factor 2). Id. at 12. Workshare discounts. The Postal Service asserts that the Move Update assessment revisions do not constitute a change to workshare discounts. The Postal Service states that all passthrough values should be similar to those VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:19 Oct 23, 2009 Jkt 220001 reviewed in Docket No. R2009–2. Id. at 12–13. Preferred rates. The Postal Service contends that the program will have no impact on preferred rates in Standard Mail, and is not expected to affect the 60 percent ratio between nonprofit and commercial Standard Mail prices. Id. at 13. III. Commission Action Establishment of docket; comments. The Commission establishes Docket No. R2010–1 to consider all matters related to the Notice. 39 CFR 3010.13(a). It also issues the instant order to provide notice of the Postal Service’s filing.

Consistent with the Commission’s rules, 39 CFR 3010.13(a)(5), comments are due no later than November 4, 2009. Public representative. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, the Commission appoints Jeremy L. Simmons to serve as the Public Representative to represent the interests of the general public in this docket. IV. Ordering Paragraphs It is ordered: 1.
