the Bureau of Immigration and Customs

Enforcement, (202) 732–4245.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Customs Service was renamed as the
‘‘Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection’’ pursuant to section 1502 of
the HSA. Section 442 of the HSA (6
U.S.C. 252) established the ‘‘Bureau of
Border Security.’’ Under section 1502 of
the HSA, the Bureau of Border Security
was renamed as the ‘‘Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement,’’
effective March 1, 2003. The President’s
‘‘Reorganization Plan Modification for
the Department of Homeland Security,’’
dated January 30, 2003, memorializes
these name changes.
On January 18, 2007, DHS notified
Congress that it was changing the name
of the Bureau of Customs and Border
Protection to ‘‘U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP)’’ and the name of the
Bureau of Immigration and Customs
Enforcement to ‘‘U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE).’’ Pursuant
to section 872(a)(2) of the HSA (6 U.S.C.
452(a)(2), notice of the name change was
provided to Congress no later than 60
days before the change could become
effective. On April 23, 2007, a notice
was published in the Federal Register to
inform the public that DHS had changed
the names of the two components
effective March 31, 2007. 72 FR 20131.
This document revises the headings of
chapters I and IV of title 19 of the Code
of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) to
reflect the agency name changes as set
forth in the Federal Register notice of
April 23, 2007.
Inapplicability of Prior Public Notice
and Delayed Effective Date
Requirements
This regulation involves matters
relating to agency management and
involves a technical change regarding
the name of the two DHS components.
For this reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(a)(2), prior notice and comment is
not required. Because this is not a
substantive rule, publication and service
of the rule thirty days before its effective
date, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d), is
likewise not required.

name change for CBP and ICE, the
headings of chapters I and IV of title 19
of the Code of Federal Regulations are

Background
On November 25, 2002, the President
signed the Homeland Security Act of
2002, 6 U.S.C. 101 et seq., Public Law
107–296, (the ‘‘HSA’’), establishing the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS). Pursuant to section 403(1) of the
HSA (6 U.S.C. 203(1)), the U.S. Customs
Service was transferred from the
Department of the Treasury to DHS
effective March 1, 2003. In addition, the
The Regulatory Flexibility Act and
Executive Order 12866
Because no notice of proposed
rulemaking is required, the provisions
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.
Further, this amendment does not meet
the criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ for purposes of Executive Order
12866.

II. Background
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with RULES
On February 9, 2010, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into two additional
International Business Reply Service
(IBRS) contracts.1 Additionally, the
Postal Service filed a formal request
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR
3020.30 et seq. to add International
Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 to the Competitive Product
List.2 The Postal Service asserts that the
new International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2 product
is a competitive product ‘‘not of general
applicability’’ within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. The Request has
been assigned Docket No. MC2010–18.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed two contracts
related to the proposed new product
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39
CFR 3015.5. The contracts have been
assigned Docket Nos. CP2010–21 and
CP2010–22, respectively.
The Postal Service uses IBRS
contracts for customers that sell
lightweight articles to foreign
consumers and desires to offer their
customers a way to return the articles to
the United States for recycling,
refurbishment, repair, or value-added
processing. Id. at 3.
The Postal Service filed the instant
contracts pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In
addition, the Postal Service contends
that the contracts are in accordance with
Order No. 290.3 The term of each
contract is one year from the date the
Postal Service notifies the customer that
all necessary regulatory approvals have
been received. The Postal Service states
the instant contracts are to replace the
expiring contracts in Docket Nos.
CP2009–20 and CP2009–22.4 Id. at 3–4.
1 Notice of the United States Postal Service of
Filing Two Functionally Equivalent IBRS
Competitive Contracts and Request to Establish
Successor Instruments as Baseline International
Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2,
February 9, 2010 (Request).
2 Id. at 2. The Postal Service states that it is not
currently proposing to remove IBRS Contract 1 from
the Competitive Product List because the agreement
in Docket No. CP2009–17 remains in place. Id., n.
5.
3 See Docket No. CP2009–50, Order Granting
Clarification and Adding Global Expedited Package
Services 2 to the Competitive Product List, August
28, 2009 (Order No. 290).
4 Docket Nos. MC2009–14 and CP2009–20,
Request of the United States Postal Service to Add
International Business Reply Service Contracts to
the Competitive Products List, and Notice of Filing
(Under Seal) Contract and Enabling Governors’
Decision, December 24, 2008.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:08 Mar 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
The Postal Service notes that the current
contracts expire on February 28, 2010.5
In support of its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following attachments:
Attachment 1–a statement of supporting
justification as required by 39 CFR
3020.32; Attachments 2–A and 2–Bredacted copies of the contracts;
Attachments 3–A and 3–B-redacted
copies of the certified statements
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
Attachment 4–Governors’ Decision No.
08–24 which establishes prices and
classifications for the IBRS Contracts
product; and includes Mail
Classification Schedule language for
IBRS contracts, formulas for pricing
along with an analysis, certification of
the Governors vote, and certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and
Attachment 5–an application for nonpublic treatment of materials to
maintain the contracts and supporting
documents under seal.
Substantively, the Request seeks to
add International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2 to the
Competitive Product List. Id. at 1.
The Postal Service asserts that the two
contracts have generally similar cost
and market characteristics as previous
IBRS contracts. However, because it
requests that the instant contracts be
deemed the new baseline contracts for
the International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 product, the
Postal Service considers the appropriate
analysis to be the comparison of the
new contracts’ cost attributes and
market characteristics with one another.
Id. at 4. The Postal Service indicates
that the instant contracts differ from one
another basically only in the customer
identity. Id. The Postal Service
represents that prices and classifications
‘‘not of general applicability’’ for IBRS
contracts were established by
Governors’ Decision No. 08–24 filed in
Docket Nos. MC2009–14 and CP2009–
20. Id. at 1, n.1. It also identifies the
instant contracts as fitting within the
Mail Classification Schedule language
for IBRS contracts as included as an
attachment to Governors’ Decision No.
08–24. Id. at 1.
The Request advances reasons why
International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 should be added
to the Competitive Product List and fits
within the Mail Classification Schedule
language for IBRS contracts. Id. at 5. 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.
5 The Postal Service indicates an intent to begin
the new contracts on March 1, 2010. Id. at 4.
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4700

The Postal Service asserts that the
instant contracts are in compliance with
39 U.S.C. 3633, are functionally
equivalent to one another, fit within the
IBRS Mail Classification Schedule
language, will serve as the new baseline
contracts for the proposed product, and
should be grouped together under a
single product. Id. at 5–6. It requests
that the instant contracts be included
within the International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2 product.
Id.
In Order No. 407, the Commission
gave notice of the docket, 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 filings were
submitted by other interested parties.
The Public Representative states that
each element of 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)
appears to be met by the proposed
International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 product. Id. at 2.
He observes that the contracts’ pricing
terms comport with Governors’ Decision
No. 08–24. Id. The Public
Representative relates that the addition
of the proposed product to the
Competitive Product List is consistent
with the statutory requirements of 39
U.S.C. 3632, 3633, and 3642. Id. at 2–
3.
He also states that the Postal Service
has provided sufficient justification for
confidentiality of the matters filed
under seal. Id. at 3. The Public
Representative notes that the IBRS
product improves the efficiency of the
mail, provides convenience to the
mailers, and serves the public interest.
Id. at 3–5. He concludes that the
contracts comport with all applicable
elements of title 39 because it appears
they will generate sufficient revenue to
cover attributable costs, should not
cause market dominant products to
subsidize competitive products, and
will contribute to the recovery of the
Postal Service’s total institutional costs.
Id. at 6.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Postal Service’s filing presents
several issues for the Commission to
consider: (1) the addition of a new
6 Notice and Order Concerning Filing of
International Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 Negotiated Service Agreement, February
12, 2010 (Order No. 407).
7 Public Representative Comments in Response to
United States Postal Service Notice Concerning
Filing of Additional International Business Reply
Service Contract 2 Negotiated Service Agreements,

product to the Mail Classification
Schedule in accordance with 39 U.S.C.
3642; (2) whether the contracts satisfy
39 U.S.C. 3633; and (3) the treatment of
these contracts as the baseline
agreements for any future International
Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 contracts. In reaching its
conclusions, the Commission has
reviewed the Request, the contracts, 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 IBRS
competitive contracts product in Order
No. 178 and found that those contracts
were properly classified as competitive.
In support of its proposal, the Postal
Service includes the Statement of
Supporting Justification (Statement)
required by 39 CFR 3020.32 originally
filed in Docket No. MC2009–14
concerning International Business Reply
Service Contracts 1. Among other
things, the Statement provides support
for classifying IBRS as a competitive
product. Use of the prior Statement is
acceptable to support the conclusion
that International Business Reply
Service Contract 2 is appropriately
classified as competitive, in particular,
because the instant contracts are the
successors to those in Docket Nos.
CP2009–20 and CP2009–22. Id. at 5.
Cost considerations. The Postal
Service contends that the instant
contracts and supporting documents
filed in these dockets establish
compliance with the statutory
provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products (39 U.S.C. 3633).
Id. at 3. It asserts that Governors’
Decision No. 08–24 supports these
contracts and establishes a pricing
formula and classification that ensures
each contract meets the criteria of 39
U.S.C. 3633 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder. Id.,
Attachment 4, Attachment D.
Based on the data submitted, the
Commission finds that these contracts
should cover their 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 contracts
indicates that they comport with the
provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products.
Baseline agreement. The Postal
Service seeks to add a new product,
International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2, to the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:08 Mar 15, 2010
Jkt 220001
Competitive Product List. It contends
that the instant contracts are
functionally equivalent to previously
filed IBRS contracts. At the same time,
it asks that the instant contracts be
considered the new baseline for future
International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 contracts. Id. at
2. The Postal Service notes that the
instant contracts are the direct
successors to the contracts that the
Commission found to be eligible for
inclusion in the International Business
Reply Service Competitive Contracts 1
product. Id. Because International
Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 is being added as a new
product, the Commission finds it
unnecessary to address the issue of
functional equivalency with previous
contracts. Instead, the Commission will
review the instant contracts to
determine if they are functionally
equivalent with one another.
The Commission reviewed each
contract and finds that, with the
exception of customer-specific
information, they are essentially
identical and, therefore, are functionally
equivalent. Accordingly, the
Commission finds that International
Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 is properly added to the
Competitive Product List as a new
product.
The instant contracts, similar to the
previous IBRS competitive contracts,
contain price contingency clauses
which allow the Postal Service
flexibility to change rates without
entering a new agreement. The
Commission initially reviewed a similar
provision when it was filed in response
to the Commission’s request in Docket
No. CP2009–20.8 In Order No. 178, the
Commission addressed the implications
of the contingency clause in the contract
in Docket No. CP2010–20, and
determined that those conclusions
apply to other contracts (including the
instant contracts) with similar
provisions.9
Following the current practice, the
Postal Service shall identify all
significant differences between any new
8 See Docket Nos. MC2009–14 and CP2009–20,
Response of the United States Postal Service to
Order No. 164, and Notice of Filing Redacted
Contract and Other Requested Materials, January
12, 2009.
9 The Commission explained that the Postal
Service must file the changed rates under 39 CFR
3015.5 and give a minimum of 15 days’ notice.
However, unless the changed rates raise new issues,
the Commission found that it would not anticipate
a need to act further. See Docket Nos. MC2009–14
and CP2009–20, Order Concerning International
Business Reply Service Contract 1 Negotiated
Service Agreement, February 5, 2009, at 9 (Order
No. 178).

IBRS contract and the International
Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 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–
18. In conformity with the current
practice, a redacted copy of Governors’
Decision No. 08–24 should be included
in the new filing along with an
electronic link to it.
Other considerations. 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
International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 to the
Competitive Product List and finds the
negotiated service agreements submitted
in Docket Nos. CP2010–21 and CP2010–
22 are appropriately included within
the International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 product.
V. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2
(MC2010-18), CP2010-21 and CP201022) is added to the Competitive Product

International.
2. The Postal Service shall notify the
Commission of the effective dates of the
contract and update the Commission if
the termination date changes as
discussed in this order.
3. The Postal Service shall file any
modifications of price based on cost
increases or contingency price
provisions in these contracts with the
Commission as discussed in the body of
this order.
4. The Secretary shall arrange for the
publication of this order in the Federal
Register.

I. Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product identified as
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 to the
Competitive Product
[[Page 12446]]
List. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission approves the
Request.
II. Background
On February 9, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing
that it has entered into two additional International Business Reply
Service (IBRS) contracts.\1\ Additionally, the Postal Service filed a
formal request pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to
add International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 to the
Competitive Product List.\2\ The Postal Service asserts that the new
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 product is
a competitive product ``not of general applicability'' within the
meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. The Request has been assigned
Docket No. MC2010-18.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing Two
Functionally Equivalent IBRS Competitive Contracts and Request to
Establish Successor Instruments as Baseline International Business
Reply Service Competitive Contract 2, February 9, 2010 (Request).
\2\ Id. at 2. The Postal Service states that it is not currently
proposing to remove IBRS Contract 1 from the Competitive Product
List because the agreement in Docket No. CP2009-17 remains in place.
Id., n. 5..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Service contemporaneously filed two contracts related to
the proposed new product pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR
3015.5. The contracts have been assigned Docket Nos. CP2010-21 and
CP2010-22, respectively.
The Postal Service uses IBRS contracts for customers that sell
lightweight articles to foreign consumers and desires to offer their
customers a way to return the articles to the United States for
recycling, refurbishment, repair, or value-added processing. Id. at 3.
The Postal Service filed the instant contracts pursuant to 39 CFR
3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends that the contracts are
in accordance with Order No. 290.\3\ The term of each contract is one
year from the date the Postal Service notifies the customer that all
necessary regulatory approvals have been received. The Postal Service
states the instant contracts are to replace the expiring contracts in
Docket Nos. CP2009-20 and CP2009-22.\4\ Id. at 3-4. The Postal Service
notes that the current contracts expire on February 28, 2010.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Docket No. CP2009-50, Order Granting Clarification and
Adding Global Expedited Package Services 2 to the Competitive
Product List, August 28, 2009 (Order No. 290).
\4\ Docket Nos. MC2009-14 and CP2009-20, Request of the United
States Postal Service to Add International Business Reply Service
Contracts to the Competitive Products List, and Notice of Filing
(Under Seal) Contract and Enabling Governors' Decision, December 24,
2008.
\5\ The Postal Service indicates an intent to begin the new
contracts on March 1, 2010. Id. at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following
attachments: Attachment 1-a statement of supporting justification as
required by 39 CFR 3020.32; Attachments 2-A and 2-B-redacted copies of
the contracts; Attachments 3-A and 3-B-redacted copies of the certified
statements required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); Attachment 4-Governors'
Decision No. 08-24 which establishes prices and classifications for the
IBRS Contracts product; and includes Mail Classification Schedule
language for IBRS contracts, formulas for pricing along with an
analysis, certification of the Governors vote, and certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and Attachment 5-an application for
non-public treatment of materials to maintain the contracts and
supporting documents under seal.
Substantively, the Request seeks to add International Business
Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 to the Competitive Product List.
Id. at 1.
The Postal Service asserts that the two contracts have generally
similar cost and market characteristics as previous IBRS contracts.
However, because it requests that the instant contracts be deemed the
new baseline contracts for the International Business Reply Service
Competitive Contract 2 product, the Postal Service considers the
appropriate analysis to be the comparison of the new contracts' cost
attributes and market characteristics with one another. Id. at 4. The
Postal Service indicates that the instant contracts differ from one
another basically only in the customer identity. Id. The Postal Service
represents that prices and classifications ``not of general
applicability'' for IBRS contracts were established by Governors'
Decision No. 08-24 filed in Docket Nos. MC2009-14 and CP2009-20. Id. at
1, n.1. It also identifies the instant contracts as fitting within the
Mail Classification Schedule language for IBRS contracts as included as
an attachment to Governors' Decision No. 08-24. Id. at 1.
The Request advances reasons why International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2 should be added to the Competitive
Product List and fits within the Mail Classification Schedule language
for IBRS contracts. Id. at 5. 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 contracts are in
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633, are functionally equivalent to one
another, fit within the IBRS Mail Classification Schedule language,
will serve as the new baseline contracts for the proposed product, and
should be grouped together under a single product. Id. at 5-6. It
requests that the instant contracts be included within the
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 product.
Id.
In Order No. 407, the Commission gave notice of the docket,
appointed a Public Representative, and provided the public with an
opportunity to comment.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Notice and Order Concerning Filing of International Business
Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 Negotiated Service Agreement,
February 12, 2010 (Order No. 407).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Comments
Comments were filed by the Public Representative.\7\ No filings
were submitted by other interested parties. The Public Representative
states that each element of 39 U.S.C. 3633(a) appears to be met by the
proposed International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2
product. Id. at 2. He observes that the contracts' pricing terms
comport with Governors' Decision No. 08-24. Id. The Public
Representative relates that the addition of the proposed product to the
Competitive Product List is consistent with the statutory requirements
of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, and 3642. Id. at 2-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Public Representative Comments in Response to United States
Postal Service Notice Concerning Filing of Additional International
Business Reply Service Contract 2 Negotiated Service Agreements,
February 22, 2010 (Public Representative Comments).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
He also states that the Postal Service has provided sufficient
justification for confidentiality of the matters filed under seal. Id.
at 3. The Public Representative notes that the IBRS product improves
the efficiency of the mail, provides convenience to the mailers, and
serves the public interest. Id. at 3-5. He concludes that the contracts
comport with all applicable elements of title 39 because it appears
they will generate sufficient revenue to cover attributable costs,
should not cause market dominant products to subsidize competitive
products, and will contribute to the recovery of the Postal Service's
total institutional costs. Id. at 6.
IV. Commission Analysis
The Postal Service's filing presents several issues for the
Commission to consider: (1) the addition of a new
[[Page 12447]]
product to the Mail Classification Schedule in accordance with 39
U.S.C. 3642; (2) whether the contracts satisfy 39 U.S.C. 3633; and (3)
the treatment of these contracts as the baseline agreements for any
future International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2
contracts. In reaching its conclusions, the Commission has reviewed the
Request, the contracts, 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 IBRS competitive
contracts product in Order No. 178 and found that those contracts were
properly classified as competitive. In support of its proposal, the
Postal Service includes the Statement of Supporting Justification
(Statement) required by 39 CFR 3020.32 originally filed in Docket No.
MC2009-14 concerning International Business Reply Service Contracts 1.
Among other things, the Statement provides support for classifying IBRS
as a competitive product. Use of the prior Statement is acceptable to
support the conclusion that International Business Reply Service
Contract 2 is appropriately classified as competitive, in particular,
because the instant contracts are the successors to those in Docket
Nos. CP2009-20 and CP2009-22. Id. at 5.
Cost considerations. The Postal Service contends that the instant
contracts and supporting documents filed in these dockets establish
compliance with the statutory provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products (39 U.S.C. 3633). Id. at 3. It asserts that
Governors' Decision No. 08-24 supports these contracts and establishes
a pricing formula and classification that ensures each contract meets
the criteria of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. Id., Attachment 4, Attachment D.
Based on the data submitted, the Commission finds that these
contracts should cover their 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 contracts
indicates that they comport with the provisions applicable to rates for
competitive products.
Baseline agreement. The Postal Service seeks to add a new product,
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2, to the
Competitive Product List. It contends that the instant contracts are
functionally equivalent to previously filed IBRS contracts. At the same
time, it asks that the instant contracts be considered the new baseline
for future International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2
contracts. Id. at 2. The Postal Service notes that the instant
contracts are the direct successors to the contracts that the
Commission found to be eligible for inclusion in the International
Business Reply Service Competitive Contracts 1 product. Id. Because
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 is being
added as a new product, the Commission finds it unnecessary to address
the issue of functional equivalency with previous contracts. Instead,
the Commission will review the instant contracts to determine if they
are functionally equivalent with one another.
The Commission reviewed each contract and finds that, with the
exception of customer-specific information, they are essentially
identical and, therefore, are functionally equivalent. Accordingly, the
Commission finds that International Business Reply Service Competitive
Contract 2 is properly added to the Competitive Product List as a new
product.
The instant contracts, similar to the previous IBRS competitive
contracts, contain price contingency clauses which allow the Postal
Service flexibility to change rates without entering a new agreement.
The Commission initially reviewed a similar provision when it was filed
in response to the Commission's request in Docket No. CP2009-20.\8\ In
Order No. 178, the Commission addressed the implications of the
contingency clause in the contract in Docket No. CP2010-20, and
determined that those conclusions apply to other contracts (including
the instant contracts) with similar provisions.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Docket Nos. MC2009-14 and CP2009-20, Response of the
United States Postal Service to Order No. 164, and Notice of Filing
Redacted Contract and Other Requested Materials, January 12, 2009.
\9\ The Commission explained that the Postal Service must file
the changed rates under 39 CFR 3015.5 and give a minimum of 15 days'
notice. However, unless the changed rates raise new issues, the
Commission found that it would not anticipate a need to act further.
See Docket Nos. MC2009-14 and CP2009-20, Order Concerning
International Business Reply Service Contract 1 Negotiated Service
Agreement, February 5, 2009, at 9 (Order No. 178).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the current practice, the Postal Service shall identify
all significant differences between any new IBRS contract and the
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 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. MC2010-18. In
conformity with the current practice, a redacted copy of Governors'
Decision No. 08-24 should be included in the new filing along with an
electronic link to it.
Other considerations. 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 International Business Reply
Service Competitive Contract 2 to the Competitive Product List and
finds the negotiated service agreements submitted in Docket Nos.
CP2010-21 and CP2010-22 are appropriately included within the
International Business Reply Service Competitive Contract 2 product.
