Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 13 / Thursday, January 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
The Secretary invites comments from
small LEAs as to whether they believe
these interim final requirements will
have a significant economic impact on
them and, if so, requests evidence to
support that belief.
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
The interim final requirements
contain information collection
requirements that are subject to review
by OMB under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520). The Department had received
previously emergency approval for the
information collections in the final SIG
requirements published on December
10, 2009, under OMB Control Number
1810–0682. The Department will submit
to OMB a Paperwork Reduction Act
3383
for SEAs remain the same because the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010
changes do not affect the number of
SEAs that can apply.
A description of the specific
information collection requirements is
provided in the following tables along
with estimates of the annual
recordkeeping burden for these
requirements. The estimates include
time for an SEA and an LEA to prepare
their respective applications (including
requests for waivers), an SEA to review
an LEA’s application, and an LEA to
report data to an SEA and the SEA to
report those data to the Department. The
first table shows the estimated burden
for SEAs and the second table shows the
estimated burden for LEAs.
Change Worksheet for this collection
that will include the changes described
below.
In the interim final requirements, the
Department is increasing its estimates of
the number of LEAs that will apply for
and have to report on using SIG funds
from the estimates included in the
December 10, 2009, final SIG
requirements. This change factors in the
provision in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010 regarding
which schools are eligible to receive SIG
funds, which will likely increase the
number of LEAs that apply to their SEA
for these funds. The Department used its
data on the number of LEAs receiving
Title I, Part A funds and the proportion
of LEAs with identified schools to
estimate the new figures. The estimates

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 13 / Thursday, January 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Contract 7 to the Competitive Product
List. For the reasons discussed below,
the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
At the end of October 2009, the Postal
Service filed a formal request and
associated supporting information
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR
3020.30 et seq. to add Express Mail
Contract 7 to the Competitive Product
List.1 The Postal Service asserts that the
Express Mail Contract 7 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. MC2010–7.
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. CP2010–7.
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following materials: (1)
A redacted version of the Governors’
Decision authorizing certain types of
Express Mail contracts;2 (2) a redacted
version of the contract;3 (3) a requested
change in the Mail Classification
Schedule product list;4 (4) a Statement
of Supporting Justification as required
by 39 CFR 3020.32;5 (5) a certification
of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a);6
and (6) an application for non-public
treatment of the materials filed under
seal.7 The redacted version of the
contract provides that the contract is
terminable on 30 days’ notice by either
party, but could continue for 3 years
from the effective date subject to annual
price adjustments. Request, Attachment
B.
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

filed errata to its Request. See Notice of the United
States Postal Service of Filing Errata to Request and
Notice, October 29, 2009. Accordingly, the filing of
the entire set of documents related to this Request

Request, Attachment D, 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). Id., Attachment E.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
supporting data and the unredacted
contract, under seal. The Postal Service
maintains that the contract and related
financial information, including the
customer’s name and the accompanying
analyses that provide prices, certain
terms and conditions, and financial
projections, should remain confidential.
Id., Attachment F, at 2–3.8
In Order No. 331, the Commission
gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and
provided the public with an opportunity
to comment.9 On November 2, 2009,
Chairman’s Information Request No. 1
(CHIR No. 1) was filed. The due date for
responding to CHIR No. 1 was set as
November 9, 2009. On November 13,
2009, the Postal Service filed a partial
response to CHIR No. 1.10 Seeking
clarification of information contained in
the Postal Service’s November 13, 2009
partial response, Chairman’s
Information Request No. 2 (CHIR No. 2)
was filed on November 16, 2009.11 The
Postal Service responded to CHIR No. 2
on November 19, 2009.12 On December
9, 2009, the Postal Service filed its
response to the outstanding questions in
CHIR No. 1.13
8 In its application for non-public treatment, the
Postal Service requests an indefinite extension of
non-public treatment of customer-identifying
information. Id. at 7. For the reasons discussed in
PRC Order No. 323, that request is denied. See, e.g.,
Docket No. MC2010–1 and CP2010–1, Order
Concerning Priority Mail Contract 19 Negotiated
Service Agreement, October 26, 2009 (Order No.
323).

Postal Service also filed a motion for late
acceptance which contained an explanation of the
reason for the delay and the issues with responding
to the remaining information requests. Motion of
the United States Postal Service for Late Acceptance

III. Comments
Comments were timely filed by the
Public Representative on November 9,
2009.14 No comments were submitted
by other interested parties. The Public
Representative states that the Postal
Service’s filing meets the pertinent
provisions of title 39 and the relevant
Commission rules. Id. at 1–3. He further
states that the agreement is fair to the
parties and employs pricing terms
favorable to the customer, the Postal
Service, and thereby, the public. Id. at
4–5. The Public Representative also
believes that the Postal Service has
provided appropriate justification for
maintaining confidentiality in this case.
Id. at 3.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the
Request, the contract, the financial
analysis provided under seal that
accompanies the Request, the responses
to CHIR Nos. 1 and 2, and the comments
filed by the Public Representative.
Statutory requirements. The
Commission’s statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Express
Mail Contract 7 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 Express
Mail Contract 7 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
consists of all other products.
response. Motion of the United States Postal Service
for Late Acceptance of Response to Chairman’s
Information Request No. 1, Question 1(a), December
9, 2009. The motion is granted, although the Postal
Service should be aware that the significant delay
in the Commission’s decision in this case is directly
related to the delay in the Postal Service’s filing of
this response.
14 Public Representative Comments in Response
to United States Postal Service Request to Add
Express Mail Contract 7 to the Competitive Product
List, November 9, 2009 (Public Representative
Comments).

srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 13 / Thursday, January 21, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
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
risk of losing volume to private
companies. Request, Attachment D,
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., 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., para. (h).
No commenter opposes the proposed
classification of Express Mail Contract 7
as competitive. Having considered the
statutory requirements and the support
offered by the Postal Service, the
Commission finds that Express Mail
Contract 7 is appropriately classified as
a competitive product and should be
added to the Competitive Product List.
Cost considerations. In its initial
filings, the Postal Service presented an
incomplete financial analysis of Express
Mail Contract 7. The incomplete initial
filings did not allow the Commission to
undertake the required analysis of
Express Mail Contract 7 until the Postal
Service fully responded to CHIR Nos. 1
and 2. Because the Postal Service did
not fully respond to CHIR No. 1 until
December 9, 2009, the Commission
could not begin its analysis until that
time. Even then, further informal
follow-up to the Postal Service’s
responses to CHIR No. 1 was necessary
for a complete understanding of the
data.
Based on the data and explanations
submitted, the Commission finds that
Express Mail Contract 7 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
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:28 Jan 20, 2010
Jkt 220001
effect on competitive products’
contribution to institutional costs (39
U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an initial
review of proposed Express Mail
Contract 7 indicates that it comports
with the provisions applicable to rates
for competitive products. The
Commission’s analysis is provided in
Library Reference PRC-CP2010–7–NPLR1 which is being filed under seal.
Other considerations. The Postal
Service shall notify the Commission if
termination occurs prior to the
scheduled termination date. Following
the scheduled termination date of the
agreement, the Commission will remove
the product from the Competitive
Product List.
Further, while the Commission
currently believes that the contract is
expected to comply with the applicable
requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, the
Commission seeks to ensure that it is
provided with the proper level of detail
to make appropriate findings in the FY
2010 Annual Compliance Determination
(ACD) with respect to this contract. To
that end, the Postal Service should view
Library Reference PRC-CP2010–7–NPLR1 as illustrative of the granularity of
the information to be reported with
respect to this contract.
In conclusion, the Commission
approves Express Mail Contract 7 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.
V. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. Express Mail Contract 7 (MC2010–
7 and CP2010–7) is added to the
Competitive Product List as a new
product under Negotiated Service
Agreements, Domestic.
2. The Postal Service shall notify the
Commission if termination occurs prior
to the scheduled termination date.
3. The Postal Service shall view
Library Reference PRC-CP2010–7–NPLR1 as illustrative of the level of detail
of information that the Commission
seeks with respect to this contract in
connection with its FY 2010 Annual
Compliance Determination proceeding.
4. The Secretary shall arrange for the
publication of this order in the Federal
Register.

Regulations Consistency Update for
Alaska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the update
of the Outer Continental Shelf (‘‘OCS’’)
Air Regulations proposed in the Federal
Register on March 3, 2009.
Requirements applying to OCS sources
located within 25 miles of States’
seaward boundaries must be updated
periodically to remain consistent with
the requirements of the corresponding
onshore area (‘‘COA’’), as mandated by
section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act
(‘‘the Act’’). The portion of the OCS air
regulations that is being updated
pertains to the requirements for OCS
sources operating off of the State of
Alaska. The intended effect of
approving the OCS requirements for the
State of Alaska is to regulate emissions
from OCS sources in a manner
consistent with the requirements
onshore. The change to the existing
requirements discussed below is
incorporated by reference into the
regulations and is listed in the appendix
to the OCS air regulations.
DATES: Effective Date: The final rule
portion of this rulemaking is effective
on February 22, 2010.
This incorporation by reference of
certain publications listed in this rule is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of February 22, 2010.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R10–OAR–2009–0111. The
index to the docket is available
electronically at https://
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

V. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product identified as Express
Mail
[[Page 3384]]
Contract 7 to the Competitive Product List. For the reasons discussed
below, the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
At the end of October 2009, the Postal Service filed a formal
request and associated supporting information pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to add Express Mail Contract 7 to the
Competitive Product List.\1\ The Postal Service asserts that the
Express Mail Contract 7 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. MC2010-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Request of the United States Postal Service to Add Express
Mail Contract 7 to Competitive Product List and Notice of Filing
(Under Seal) of Contract and Supporting Data, October 28, 2009
(Request). On October 29, 2009, the Postal Service filed errata to
its Request. See Notice of the United States Postal Service of
Filing Errata to Request and Notice, October 29, 2009. Accordingly,
the filing of the entire set of documents related to this Request
was not completed until October 29, 2009.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. CP2010-7.
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following
materials: (1) A redacted version of the Governors' Decision
authorizing certain types of Express Mail contracts;\2\ (2) a redacted
version of the contract;\3\ (3) a requested change in the Mail
Classification Schedule product list;\4\ (4) a Statement of Supporting
Justification as required by 39 CFR 3020.32;\5\ (5) a certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a);\6\ and (6) an application for non-
public treatment of the materials filed under seal.\7\ The redacted
version of the contract provides that the contract is terminable on 30
days' notice by either party, but could continue for 3 years from the
effective date subject to annual price adjustments. Request, Attachment
B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Attachment A to the Request, reflecting Governors' Decision
No. 09-14, October 26, 2009.
\3\ Attachment B to the Request.
\4\ Attachment C to the Request.
\5\ Attachment D to the Request.
\6\ Attachment E to the Request.
\7\ Attachment F 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 D, 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). Id., Attachment E.
The Postal Service filed much of the supporting materials,
including the supporting data and the unredacted contract, under seal.
The Postal Service maintains that the contract and related financial
information, including the customer's name and the accompanying
analyses that provide prices, certain terms and conditions, and
financial projections, should remain confidential. Id., Attachment F,
at 2-3.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In its application for non-public treatment, the Postal
Service requests an indefinite extension of non-public treatment of
customer-identifying information. Id. at 7. For the reasons
discussed in PRC Order No. 323, that request is denied. See, e.g.,
Docket No. MC2010-1 and CP2010-1, Order Concerning Priority Mail
Contract 19 Negotiated Service Agreement, October 26, 2009 (Order
No. 323).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Order No. 331, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an
opportunity to comment.\9\ On November 2, 2009, Chairman's Information
Request No. 1 (CHIR No. 1) was filed. The due date for responding to
CHIR No. 1 was set as November 9, 2009. On November 13, 2009, the
Postal Service filed a partial response to CHIR No. 1.\10\ Seeking
clarification of information contained in the Postal Service's November
13, 2009 partial response, Chairman's Information Request No. 2 (CHIR
No. 2) was filed on November 16, 2009.\11\ The Postal Service responded
to CHIR No. 2 on November 19, 2009.\12\ On December 9, 2009, the Postal
Service filed its response to the outstanding questions in CHIR No.
1.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ PRC Order No. 331, Notice and Order Concerning Express Mail
Contract 7 Negotiated Service Agreement, October 30, 2009 (Order No.
331).
\10\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing
Responses to Chairman's Information Request No. 1, Question 1,
Subparts (b)-(d), Under Seal, November 13, 2009 (Partial Response to
CHIR No. 1). With its Partial Response to CHIR No. 1, the Postal
Service also filed a motion for late acceptance which contained an
explanation of the reason for the delay and the issues with
responding to the remaining information requests. Motion of the
United States Postal Service for Late Acceptance of Responses to
Chairman's Information Request No. 1, November 13, 2009. The motion
is granted.
\11\ Notice of Filing of Chairman's Information Request No. 2
Under Seal, November 16, 2009.
\12\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing
Response to Chairman's Information Request No. 2, Under Seal,
November 19, 2009.
\13\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing
Response to Chairman's Information Request No. 1, Question 1(a),
Under Seal, December 9, 2009 (Remaining Response to CHIR No. 1).
With its Remaining Response to CHIR No. 1, the Postal Service filed
a motion for late acceptance of that response. Motion of the United
States Postal Service for Late Acceptance of Response to Chairman's
Information Request No. 1, Question 1(a), December 9, 2009. The
motion is granted, although the Postal Service should be aware that
the significant delay in the Commission's decision in this case is
directly related to the delay in the Postal Service's filing of this
response.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Comments
Comments were timely filed by the Public Representative on November
9, 2009.\14\ No comments were submitted by other interested parties.
The Public Representative states that the Postal Service's filing meets
the pertinent provisions of title 39 and the relevant Commission rules.
Id. at 1-3. He further states that the agreement is fair to the parties
and employs pricing terms favorable to the customer, the Postal
Service, and thereby, the public. Id. at 4-5. The Public Representative
also believes that the Postal Service has provided appropriate
justification for maintaining confidentiality in this case. Id. at 3.

Postal Service Request to Add Express Mail Contract 7 to the
Competitive Product List, November 9, 2009 (Public Representative
Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the Request, the contract, the
financial analysis provided under seal that accompanies the Request,
the responses to CHIR Nos. 1 and 2, and the comments filed by the
Public Representative.
Statutory requirements. The Commission's statutory responsibilities
in this instance entail assigning Express Mail Contract 7 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 Express
Mail Contract 7 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 consists of all other
products.
[[Page 3385]]
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 risk of losing volume to private companies. Request,
Attachment D, 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., 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., para. (h).
No commenter opposes the proposed classification of Express Mail
Contract 7 as competitive. Having considered the statutory requirements
and the support offered by the Postal Service, the Commission finds
that Express Mail Contract 7 is appropriately classified as a
competitive product and should be added to the Competitive Product
List.
Cost considerations. In its initial filings, the Postal Service
presented an incomplete financial analysis of Express Mail Contract 7.
The incomplete initial filings did not allow the Commission to
undertake the required analysis of Express Mail Contract 7 until the
Postal Service fully responded to CHIR Nos. 1 and 2. Because the Postal
Service did not fully respond to CHIR No. 1 until December 9, 2009, the
Commission could not begin its analysis until that time. Even then,
further informal follow-up to the Postal Service's responses to CHIR
No. 1 was necessary for a complete understanding of the data.
Based on the data and explanations submitted, the Commission finds
that Express Mail Contract 7 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 Express Mail Contract 7 indicates that it comports with the
provisions applicable to rates for competitive products. The
Commission's analysis is provided in Library Reference PRC-CP2010-7-NP-
LR1 which is being filed under seal.
Other considerations. The Postal Service shall notify the
Commission if termination occurs prior to the scheduled termination
date. Following the scheduled termination date of the agreement, the
Commission will remove the product from the Competitive Product List.
Further, while the Commission currently believes that the contract
is expected to comply with the applicable requirements of 39 U.S.C.
3633, the Commission seeks to ensure that it is provided with the
proper level of detail to make appropriate findings in the FY 2010
Annual Compliance Determination (ACD) with respect to this contract. To
that end, the Postal Service should view Library Reference PRC-CP2010-
7-NP-LR1 as illustrative of the granularity of the information to be
reported with respect to this contract.
In conclusion, the Commission approves Express Mail Contract 7 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.
