(3) For all other vessels, the draw
shall open on signal at any time, except
from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays. During
these times, the draw shall:
(i) Open for commercial vessels with
a draft of 18 feet or more, provided at
least 6 hours notice was given to the
Berkley Bridge Traffic Control room at
(757) 494–2490.
(ii) Open on signal at 9 a.m., 11 a.m.,
1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
(4) If the bridge is not opened during
a particular scheduled opening per
subparagraph (b)(3)(ii) and a vessel has
made prior arrangements for a delayed
opening, the draw tender may provide
a single opening up to 30 minutes past
that scheduled opening time for that
signaling vessel, except at 2:30 p.m. The
draw tender may provide a single
opening up to 20 minutes past the 2:30
p.m. scheduled opening time for a
signaling vessel that made prior
arrangements for a delayed opening. A
vessel may make prior arrangements for
a delayed opening by contacting the
Berkley Bridge Traffic Control room at
(757) 494–2490.
During this test deviation, VDOT will
continue to gather data from the
scheduled openings, along with vessel
counts, to compare, evaluate, and
monitor both old and new traffic
patterns in hope of reducing roadway
congestion on the bridge and local
commuting area by adjusting bridge
openings to ensure a future regulation
will not have a significant impact on
navigation.

This deviation has been coordinated
with the main commercial waterway
user group that has vessels transiting in
this area and there is no expectation of
any significant impacts on navigation.
Vessels with mast heights of less than
48 feet, above mean high water, can pass
underneath the bridge in the closed
position. There are no alternate
waterway routes.
This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR
117.35.

V. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new
product identified as Global Direct
Contracts 1 to the Competitive Product
List. For the reasons discussed below,
the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
On December 23, 2009, the Postal
Service filed a request seeking to add a
new product, Global Direct Contracts 1,
to the Global Direct Contracts product.1
The Global Direct product provides a
rate for mail acceptance within the
United States, transportation to a
receiving country of mail that bears the
destination country’s indicia, and
payment by the Postal Service of the
appropriate settlement charges to the
receiving country. In support of its
Request, the Postal Service incorporates
by reference the Statement of
Supporting Justification of Frank
Cebello, Executive Director, Global
Business Management, initially filed
with its request in Docket Nos.
MC2009–9, CP2009–10 and CP2009–
1 Notice of the United States Postal Service of
Filing of Functionally Equivalent Global Direct
Contracts Negotiated Service Agreement, and
Request to Add Global Direct Contracts 1 to the
Competitive Products List, December 23, 2009
(Request).

11.2 The Request has been assigned
Docket No. MC2010–17.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a contract
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. The contract
has been assigned Docket No. CP2010–
18 and is the successor to the contract
approved in Docket No. CP2009–11. See
Order No. 153. The Postal Service states
that the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to previously submitted
Global Direct Contracts and is supported
by Governors’ Decision No. 08–10,
which establishes prices and
classifications not of general
applicability for Global Direct
Contracts.3 In addition, the Postal
Service contends that the contract is in
accordance with Order No. 153.
The contract term is 1 year from the
effective date and may be automatically
renewed unless the parties agree
otherwise. Id. at 3–4.
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following five
attachments:
1. Attachment 1–a redacted copy of
the contract;
2. Attachment 2–a certified statement
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
3. Attachment 3–an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain the contract and supporting
documents under seal;
4. Attachment 4–a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, which
establishes prices and classifications for
Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy,
and Global Plus Contracts; and
5. Attachment 5–a statement of
supporting justification from Docket No.
CP2009–11, which is included by
reference for the instant contract to
satisfy 39 CFR 3020.32.
The Postal Service will notify the
customer of the effective date of the
contract within 30 days after receiving
all regulatory approvals. Id. at 3–4. The
related contract at issue under Docket
No. CP2009–11 expires on January 11,
2 Docket Nos. MC2009–9, CP2009–10 and
CP2009–11, Order Concerning Global Direct
Contracts Negotiated Service Agreements,
December 19, 2008 (Order No. 153).
3 Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, July 16, 2008,
filed in Docket No. MC2008–7, establishes prices
and classifications not of general applicability for
Global Direct and Global Bulk Economy Contracts,
as well as for Global Plus Contracts 2, which
combines Global Direct and Global Bulk Economy
services. As part of Governors’ Decision No. 08–10,
the Postal Service submitted a description of Global
Direct Contracts which it describes as ‘‘contracts
giving a rate for mail acceptance within the United
States and transportation to a receiving country
with the addition by the customer of appropriate
foreign postage charged by the receiving country.’’

2010. Id. at 2. The Postal Service also
explains that a redacted version of the
supporting financial documentation is
included with this filing as a separate
Excel file. Id. at 3.
The Postal Service asserts that the
instant Global Direct contract is
functionally equivalent with the
previous Global Direct Contracts
because it shares ‘‘similar, if not the
same...’’ cost and market characteristics
and therefore the contracts should be
classified as a single product. Id. at 5.
Further, it contends that the contract fits
within the Mail Classification Schedule
(MCS) language for Global Direct
Contracts included with Governors’
Decision No. 08–10, since ‘‘these
agreements are ‘functionally equivalent
in all pertinent respects.’’’ Id. at 5, citing
Order No. 85 at 8.
The Postal Service asserts that the
instant Global Direct Contract is
fundamentally similar’’ to that in Docket
No. CP2009–11, but notes that many of
the terms and conditions have changed,
including the following: (a) Allowing
mailers to use Canada Post’s domestic
Incentive Lettermail Service;4 (b) notice
of confidentiality rules; (c) modifying
the term to a full year; (d) clarifying
locations for tendering qualifying items;
explaining the availability of pickup
service; and (e) reflecting the price
changes of Canada Post. Id. at 5. The
Postal Service maintains that the
differences do not affect the
fundamental service being offered or the
essential structure of the contracts. Id. It
also states that the proposed MCS
language included with the Request
presents a modification proposed by the
Commission to reflect the actual
payment practice.5
The Postal Service requests that the
instant contract be considered the
baseline contract for functional
equivalency comparisons of future
Global Direct contracts, indicating that
future Global Direct Contracts will be
based upon the instant contract’s
provisions rather than those in Docket
No. CP2009–10 and CP2009–11. Request
at 2. It further requests that Global
Direct Contracts 1 be added to the
Competitive Product List, particularly as
4 The Postal Service states that Incentive
Lettermail is the same as Canada Post’s Lettermail
in terms of size, shape, and content. A mailer
performs certain preparation tasks dictated by
Canada Post to qualify for Incentive Lettermail
pricing, just as a Canadian domestic mailer might.
5 See Order No. 153 at 9 in which the Commission
reviewed the language of the actual agreements
compared to the language proposed by the Postal
Service to modify the MCS and determined the
language proposed for inclusion in the MCS should
reflect the actual payment practice under these
agreements.

future Global Direct contracts are more
likely to resemble this contract. Id.
In Order No. 373, the Commission
gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and
provided the public with an opportunity
to comment.6
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public
Representative.7 No other interested
person submitted comments. The Public
Representative states that it appears that
the contract complies with 39 U.S.C.
3633(a) and 39 CFR 3015.5. Id. He
observes that the pricing structure and
certification indicate that this contract
meets its attributable costs and there is
no cross-subsidization of this
competitive product by market
dominant products. Id. at 2–3. He notes
that while some of the terms of the
instant contract are different than
previous Global Direct contracts this
does not alter its functional
equivalency. Id. at 3. He affirms that his
review of the contract and supporting
materials filed under seal indicates that
the instant contract complies with the
pricing formula established in
Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, is
functionally equivalent to the other
contracts within the Global Directs
Contracts classification, and is
appropriately established as a
competitive product. Id. at 2–3.
The Public Representative concludes
that the instant contract’s terms are in
compliance with statutory requirements
for a competitive product and are
beneficial to the general public. Id. at 4.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Postal Service’s filing presents
several issues for the Commission to
consider: (1) The addition of a new
product to the MCS in accordance with
39 U.S.C. 3642; (2) whether the
agreement satisfies 39 U.S.C. 3633; and
(3) the treatment of Global Contracts 1
as the baseline agreement as requested
by the Postal Service. In reaching its
conclusions, the Commission has
reviewed the Request, the agreement
and the financial analyses provided
under seal, and the Public
Representative’s comments.
Product classification. The Postal
Service notes that the Commission has
had the opportunity to review the
Global Directs Contracts product in
Order No. 153 and found that those

Representative Comments).

contracts were properly classified as
competitive. In lieu of a separate
statement relative to the instant
contract, it incorporates by reference its
supporting justification for the contracts
in Dockets Nos. CP2009–9, CP2009–6
and CP2009–11 as Attachment 5 to the
Request. The Commission finds this an
acceptable method for the Postal Service
to support its Request.
Cost considerations. The Postal
Service contends that the instant
contract and supporting documents
filed in this docket establish compliance
with the statutory provisions applicable
to rates for competitive products (39
U.S.C. 3633). Request at 3. It asserts that
the Governors’ Decision (No. 08–10)
supporting this agreement establishes a
pricing formula and classification that
ensures each contract meets the criteria
of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. Request,
Attachment 4, Attachment D.
The Public Representative concurs
that the agreement appears to satisfy
section 3633 of title 39. Public
Representative Comments at 1.
Based on the data submitted and the
Commission’s analysis, the Commission
finds that the agreement 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 the proposed agreement
indicates that it comports with the
provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products.
Baseline agreement. The Postal
Service seeks to add a new product,
Global Direct Contracts 1, to the
Competitive Product List. It contends
that the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to previously reviewed
Global Direct Contracts. At the same
time, it asks that the instant contract be
considered a new baseline for future
Global Direct Contracts. Request at 2.
The Postal Service indicates that future
Global Direct Contracts are likely to
resemble this one. Because Global Direct
Contracts 1 is being added as a new
product, the Commission finds it
unnecessary to address the issue of
functional equivalency with previous
contracts.
The Postal Service notes that the
Global Direct Contracts 1 contract
differs from previously submitted
Global Direct contracts, e.g., pertaining
to the treatment of confidential
information, the availability of domestic
Incentive Lettermail Service, and more
detail in descriptions for penalties and
E:\FR\FM\03MRR1.SGM

postage due assessed by Canada Post. It
also cites new provisions that add
clarity or update terms, but contends
that they do not alter the essential
service being offered. Id. at 5. Finally, it
asserts that the cost and market
characteristics of the instant contract are
fundamentally similar to those of the
prior Global Direct contracts. Id.
Having evaluated the instant Global
Direct contract along with the
supporting financial analyses, the
Commission finds that Global Direct
Contracts 1 is properly included as a
new product to the Competitive Product
List.
Following the current practice, the
Postal Service shall identify all
significant differences between any new
Global Direct contract and the Global
Direct Contracts 1 product. Such
differences would include terms and
conditions that impose new obligations
or new requirements on any party to the
contract. The docket referenced in the
caption should be Docket No. MC2010–
17. In conformity with the current
practice, a redacted copy of Governors’
Decision 08–10 should be included in
the new filing along with an electronic
link to it.
The Postal Service shall inform the
Commission of the effective dates of the
contract and promptly notify the
Commission if the contract terminates
earlier than scheduled.
In conclusion, the Commission adds
Global Direct Contracts 1 to the
Competitive Product List and finds that
the negotiated service agreement
submitted in Docket No. CP2010–18 is
appropriately included within the
Global Direct Contracts 1 product.
V. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. Global Direct Contracts 1 (MC2010–
17 and CP2010–18) is added to the
Competitive Product List as a new
product, under Negotiated Service
Agreements, International.
2. The Postal Service shall inform the
Commission of the effective dates of the
contract and notify it if the contract
terminates earlier than scheduled, as
discussed in this order.
3. The Secretary shall arrange for
publication of this order in the Federal
Register.

I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product identified as Global
Direct Contracts 1 to the Competitive Product List. For the reasons
discussed below, the Commission approves the Request.
II. Background
On December 23, 2009, the Postal Service filed a request seeking to
add a new product, Global Direct Contracts 1, to the Global Direct
Contracts product.\1\ The Global Direct product provides a rate for
mail acceptance within the United States, transportation to a receiving
country of mail that bears the destination country's indicia, and
payment by the Postal Service of the appropriate settlement charges to
the receiving country. In support of its Request, the Postal Service
incorporates by reference the Statement of Supporting Justification of
Frank Cebello, Executive Director, Global Business Management,
initially filed with its request in Docket Nos. MC2009-9, CP2009-10 and
CP2009-11.\2\ The Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2010-17.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing of
Functionally Equivalent Global Direct Contracts Negotiated Service
Agreement, and Request to Add Global Direct Contracts 1 to the
Competitive Products List, December 23, 2009 (Request).
\2\ Docket Nos. MC2009-9, CP2009-10 and CP2009-11, Order
Concerning Global Direct Contracts Negotiated Service Agreements,
December 19, 2008 (Order No. 153).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Service contemporaneously filed a contract related to
the proposed new product pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. The contract has
been assigned Docket No. CP2010-18 and is the successor to the contract
approved in Docket No. CP2009-11. See Order No. 153. The Postal Service
states that the instant contract is functionally equivalent to
previously submitted Global Direct Contracts and is supported by
Governors' Decision No. 08-10, which establishes prices and
classifications not of general applicability for Global Direct
Contracts.\3\ In addition, the Postal Service contends that the
contract is in accordance with Order No. 153.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Governors' Decision No. 08-10, July 16, 2008, filed in
Docket No. MC2008-7, establishes prices and classifications not of
general applicability for Global Direct and Global Bulk Economy
Contracts, as well as for Global Plus Contracts 2, which combines
Global Direct and Global Bulk Economy services. As part of
Governors' Decision No. 08-10, the Postal Service submitted a
description of Global Direct Contracts which it describes as
``contracts giving a rate for mail acceptance within the United
States and transportation to a receiving country with the addition
by the customer of appropriate foreign postage charged by the
receiving country.'' Request, Attachment 4; see also Request at 2,
n.3, citing PRC Order No. 153 at 9 (regarding indirect postage
payment).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The contract term is 1 year from the effective date and may be
automatically renewed unless the parties agree otherwise. Id. at 3-4.
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following
five attachments:
1. Attachment 1-a redacted copy of the contract;
2. Attachment 2-a certified statement required by 39 CFR
3015.5(c)(2);
3. Attachment 3-an application for non-public treatment of
materials to maintain the contract and supporting documents under seal;
4. Attachment 4-a redacted copy of Governors' Decision No. 08-10,
which establishes prices and classifications for Global Direct, Global
Bulk Economy, and Global Plus Contracts; and
5. Attachment 5-a statement of supporting justification from Docket
No. CP2009-11, which is included by reference for the instant contract
to satisfy 39 CFR 3020.32.
The Postal Service will notify the customer of the effective date
of the contract within 30 days after receiving all regulatory
approvals. Id. at 3-4. The related contract at issue under Docket No.
CP2009-11 expires on January 11,
[[Page 9524]]
2010. Id. at 2. The Postal Service also explains that a redacted
version of the supporting financial documentation is included with this
filing as a separate Excel file. Id. at 3.
The Postal Service asserts that the instant Global Direct contract
is functionally equivalent with the previous Global Direct Contracts
because it shares ``similar, if not the same...'' cost and market
characteristics and therefore the contracts should be classified as a
single product. Id. at 5. Further, it contends that the contract fits
within the Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) language for Global
Direct Contracts included with Governors' Decision No. 08-10, since
``these agreements are `functionally equivalent in all pertinent
respects.''' Id. at 5, citing Order No. 85 at 8.
The Postal Service asserts that the instant Global Direct Contract
is fundamentally similar'' to that in Docket No. CP2009-11, but notes
that many of the terms and conditions have changed, including the
following: (a) Allowing mailers to use Canada Post's domestic Incentive
Lettermail Service;\4\ (b) notice of confidentiality rules; (c)
modifying the term to a full year; (d) clarifying locations for
tendering qualifying items; explaining the availability of pickup
service; and (e) reflecting the price changes of Canada Post. Id. at 5.
The Postal Service maintains that the differences do not affect the
fundamental service being offered or the essential structure of the
contracts. Id. It also states that the proposed MCS language included
with the Request presents a modification proposed by the Commission to
reflect the actual payment practice.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The Postal Service states that Incentive Lettermail is the
same as Canada Post's Lettermail in terms of size, shape, and
content. A mailer performs certain preparation tasks dictated by
Canada Post to qualify for Incentive Lettermail pricing, just as a
Canadian domestic mailer might.
\5\ See Order No. 153 at 9 in which the Commission reviewed the
language of the actual agreements compared to the language proposed
by the Postal Service to modify the MCS and determined the language
proposed for inclusion in the MCS should reflect the actual payment
practice under these agreements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Service requests that the instant contract be considered
the baseline contract for functional equivalency comparisons of future
Global Direct contracts, indicating that future Global Direct Contracts
will be based upon the instant contract's provisions rather than those
in Docket No. CP2009-10 and CP2009-11. Request at 2. It further
requests that Global Direct Contracts 1 be added to the Competitive
Product List, particularly as future Global Direct contracts are more
likely to resemble this contract. Id.
In Order No. 373, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets,
appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an
opportunity to comment.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Notice and Order Concerning Filing of Functionally
Equivalent Global Direct Contracts Negotiated Service Agreement,
December 30, 2009 (Order No. 373).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public Representative.\7\ No other
interested person submitted comments. The Public Representative states
that it appears that the contract complies with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a) and
39 CFR 3015.5. Id. He observes that the pricing structure and
certification indicate that this contract meets its attributable costs
and there is no cross-subsidization of this competitive product by
market dominant products. Id. at 2-3. He notes that while some of the
terms of the instant contract are different than previous Global Direct
contracts this does not alter its functional equivalency. Id. at 3. He
affirms that his review of the contract and supporting materials filed
under seal indicates that the instant contract complies with the
pricing formula established in Governors' Decision No. 08-10, is
functionally equivalent to the other contracts within the Global
Directs Contracts classification, and is appropriately established as a
competitive product. Id. at 2-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Public Representative Comments in Response to Order No. 373,
January 6, 2010 (Public Representative Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Public Representative concludes that the instant contract's
terms are in compliance with statutory requirements for a competitive
product and are beneficial to the general public. Id. at 4.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Postal Service's filing presents several issues for the
Commission to consider: (1) The addition of a new product to the MCS in
accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642; (2) whether the agreement satisfies 39
U.S.C. 3633; and (3) the treatment of Global Contracts 1 as the
baseline agreement as requested by the Postal Service. In reaching its
conclusions, the Commission has reviewed the Request, the agreement and
the financial analyses provided under seal, and the Public
Representative's comments.
Product classification. The Postal Service notes that the
Commission has had the opportunity to review the Global Directs
Contracts product in Order No. 153 and found that those contracts were
properly classified as competitive. In lieu of a separate statement
relative to the instant contract, it incorporates by reference its
supporting justification for the contracts in Dockets Nos. CP2009-9,
CP2009-6 and CP2009-11 as Attachment 5 to the Request. The Commission
finds this an acceptable method for the Postal Service to support its
Request.
Cost considerations. The Postal Service contends that the instant
contract and supporting documents filed in this docket establish
compliance with the statutory provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products (39 U.S.C. 3633). Request at 3. It asserts that
the Governors' Decision (No. 08-10) supporting this agreement
establishes a pricing formula and classification that ensures each
contract meets the criteria of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. Request, Attachment 4, Attachment D.
The Public Representative concurs that the agreement appears to
satisfy section 3633 of title 39. Public Representative Comments at 1.
Based on the data submitted and the Commission's analysis, the
Commission finds that the agreement 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 the proposed agreement indicates that it comports
with the provisions applicable to rates for competitive products.
Baseline agreement. The Postal Service seeks to add a new product,
Global Direct Contracts 1, to the Competitive Product List. It contends
that the instant contract is functionally equivalent to previously
reviewed Global Direct Contracts. At the same time, it asks that the
instant contract be considered a new baseline for future Global Direct
Contracts. Request at 2. The Postal Service indicates that future
Global Direct Contracts are likely to resemble this one. Because Global
Direct Contracts 1 is being added as a new product, the Commission
finds it unnecessary to address the issue of functional equivalency
with previous contracts.
The Postal Service notes that the Global Direct Contracts 1
contract differs from previously submitted Global Direct contracts,
e.g., pertaining to the treatment of confidential information, the
availability of domestic Incentive Lettermail Service, and more detail
in descriptions for penalties and
[[Page 9525]]
postage due assessed by Canada Post. It also cites new provisions that
add clarity or update terms, but contends that they do not alter the
essential service being offered. Id. at 5. Finally, it asserts that the
cost and market characteristics of the instant contract are
fundamentally similar to those of the prior Global Direct contracts.
Id.
Having evaluated the instant Global Direct contract along with the
supporting financial analyses, the Commission finds that Global Direct
Contracts 1 is properly included as a new product to the Competitive
Product List.
Following the current practice, the Postal Service shall identify
all significant differences between any new Global Direct contract and
the Global Direct Contracts 1 product. Such differences would include
terms and conditions that impose new obligations or new requirements on
any party to the contract. The docket referenced in the caption should
be Docket No. MC2010-17. In conformity with the current practice, a
redacted copy of Governors' Decision 08-10 should be included in the
new filing along with an electronic link to it.
The Postal Service shall inform the Commission of the effective
dates of the contract and promptly notify the Commission if the
contract terminates earlier than scheduled.
In conclusion, the Commission adds Global Direct Contracts 1 to the
Competitive Product List and finds that the negotiated service
agreement submitted in Docket No. CP2010-18 is appropriately included
within the Global Direct Contracts 1 product.
V. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. Global Direct Contracts 1 (MC2010-17 and CP2010-18) is added to
the Competitive Product List as a new product, under Negotiated Service
Agreements, International.
2. The Postal Service shall inform the Commission of the effective
dates of the contract and notify it if the contract terminates earlier
