I. Introduction
On February 19, 2010, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into an additional Global
Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2)
contract.[1] The Postal Service believes
the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to previously submitted
GEPS 2 contracts, and is supported by
Governors’ Decision No. 08-7, attached
to the Notice and originally filed in
Docket No. CP2008-4. Id. at 1,
Attachment 2. The Notice also explains
that Order No. 86, which established
GEPS 1 as a product, also authorized
functionally equivalent agreements to be
included within the product, provided
that they meet the requirements of 39
U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1. In Order No. 290,
the Commission approved the GEPS 2
product.[2]
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.
86. The Postal Service submitted the
contract and supporting materials under
seal along with an application for nonpublic treatment as Attachment 1, and
attached a redacted copy of the contract
and a certified statement required by 39
CFR 3015.5(c)(2) to the Notice as
Attachments 3 and 4, respectively. Id. at
1-2. The term of the contract is one year
from the date the Postal Service notifies
the customer that all necessary
regulatory approvals have been
received.
The Notice advances reasons why the
instant GEPS 2 contract fits within the
Mail Classification Schedule language
for GEPS 2. The Postal Service contends
that the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the GEPS 2 contracts filed
previously, despite minor differences in
both the general language and for
customer-specific information, all of
which are highlighted in the Notice. Id.
at 3-7.
The Postal Service contends that
several factors demonstrate the
contract’s functional equivalence with
previous GEPS 2 contracts, including
the general terms of the contract, the
market to which it is being offered, and
its cost characteristics. Id. at 3. The
Postal Service concludes that because
‘‘the GEPS agreements incorporate the
9005
same cost attributes and methodology,
the relevant cost and market
characteristics are similar, if not the
same ...’’ despite any incidental
differences. Id. at 6.
The Postal Service contends that its
filings demonstrate that this new GEPS
2 contract is established in compliance
with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633,
is functionally equivalent to previous
GEPS 2 contracts, and requests that this
contract be included within the GEPS 2
product. Id. at 7.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2010-25 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, 3622 or 3642.
Comments are due no later than March
2, 2010. 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 the captioned filings.
III. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. The Commission establishes Docket
