    On June 25, 2010, the Postal Service filed a request for semi-

    \1\ United States Postal Service Response to Order No. 465 and 
Request for Semi-Permanent Exceptions from Periodic Reporting of 
Service Performance Measurement, June 25, 2010 (Request); see also 
Order Establishing Final Rules Concerning Periodic Reporting of 
Service Performance Measurements and Customer Satisfaction, May 25, 
2010, at 22 (Order No. 465).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 3055.3 provides the Postal Service an opportunity to request 
that a product, or component of a product, be excluded from service 
performance measurement reporting upon demonstration that:(1) The cost 
of implementing a measurement system would be prohibitive in relation 
to the revenue generated by the product, or component of a product;(2) 
the product, or component of a product, defies meaningful measurement; 
or(3) the product, or component of a product, is in the form of a 
negotiated service agreement with substantially all components of the 
agreement included in the measurement of other products.
    The Postal Service seeks semi-permanent exceptions for Standard 
Mail High Density, Saturation, and Carrier Route Parcels, Inbound 
International Surface Parcel Post (at UPU Rates), hard-copy Address 
Correction Service, various Special Services, Within County 
Periodicals, and various negotiated service agreements. Request at 1.
    The Commission establishes Docket No. RM2010-11 for consideration 
of matters related to the proposed semi-permanent exceptions from 
periodic reporting of service performance measurement identified in the 
Postal Service's Request.
    Interested persons may submit comments on whether the Postal 
Service's Request is consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 
3652(a)(2) and 39 CFR 3055.3. Comments are due no later than July 16, 
2010. The Postal Service's Request can be accessed via the Commission's
