SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On December 10, 2009, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into an additional Global
Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2)
contract.1
GEPS 2 provides volume-based
incentives for mailers that send large
volumes of Express Mail International
(EMI) and/or Priority Mail International
(PMI). The Postal Service believes the
instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the previously submitted
GEPS 2 contracts and is supported by
the Governors’ Decision filed in Docket
No. CP2008-4.2 Id. at 1.
The instant contract. The Postal
Service filed the instant contract
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition,
the Postal Service contends that the
contract is in accordance with Order No.
290.3 The term of the instant contract is
1 year from the date the Postal service
notifies the customer that all necessary
regulatory approvals have been
received. Notice at 2.
In support of its Notice, the Postal
Service filed four attachments as
follows:
1. Attachment 1–an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain the contract and supporting
documents under seal;
2. Attachment 2–a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 08-7 which
establishes prices and classifications for
GEPS contracts, a description of
applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for
prices, an analysis and certification of
the formulas and certification of the
Governors’ vote;
3. Attachment 3–a redacted copy of
the contract, applicable annexes, and a
provision to modify the mailer’s tender
requirements; and
Attachment 4–a certified statement
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2).
Functional equivalency. The Postal
Service asserts that the instant contract
is functionally equivalent to the contract
in Docket No. CP2009-50 and prior
GEPS 2 contracts. Id. at 3-4. It also
contends that the instant contract meets
the requirements of Governors’ Decision
No. 08-7 for rates for GEPS contracts. Id.
at 3. The Postal Service indicates that
the instant contract differs from the
contract in Docket No. CP2009-50 in
two ways, namely, (a) Customer specific
information, e.g., the customer’s name,
address, and provisions clarifying
tender locations; and (b) revisions
intended to be included in all
subsequent agreements. Id. at 3-4. The
latter revisions address, for example, the
treatment of confidential information
and the availability of pickup service.4
The Postal Service contends that the
instant contract satisfies the pricing
formula and classification system
established in Governors’ Decision No.
08-7. Id. 2-3. It asserts that the instant
contract and all GEPS 2 contracts have
similar cost and market characteristics
and is functionally equivalent in all
relevant aspects. Id. at 5. The Postal
Service concludes that this contract is in
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633, and
requests that this contract be included
within the GEPS 2 product. Id.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2010-14 for consideration of
matters related to the contract 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, 3633, or 3642
and 39 CFR part 3015. Comments are
due no later than December 21, 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 to serve as Public
Representative in this proceeding.

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
request a revision to a currently
approved collection of information. Our
ICR describes the information we seek
to collect from the public. Review and
approval by OIRA ensures that we
impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) The practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to RRB or OIRA must contain
the OMB control number of the ICR. For
proper consideration of your comments,
it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them
within 30 days of publication date.
