I. Introduction

    On July 13, 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 3. 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\

Adding Global Expedited Package Services 2 to the Competitive

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 term of the 
contract is 1 year from the date the Postal Service notifies the 
customer that all necessary regulatory approvals have been received.
    In support of its Notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments 
as follows:
    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-a redacted copy of Governors' Decision No. 08-07, 
which establishes prices and classifications for GEPS contracts, a 
description of applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for prices, an 
analysis and certification of the Governors' vote; and
    4. Attachment 4-an application for non-public treatment of 
materials to maintain redacted portions of the contract and supporting 
documents under seal.
    The Notice advances reasons why the instant GEPS 2 contract fits 
within the Mail Classification Schedule language for GEPS 2. The Postal 
Service identifies customer-specific information, general contract 
terms and other differences that distinguish the instant contract from 
the baseline GEPS 2 agreement, all of which are highlighted in the 
Notice. Notice at 3-6.
    The Postal Service contends that the instant contract is 
functionally equivalent to previously filed GEPS contracts and is 
substantially similar to that in Docket No. CP2009-50 in terms of the 
product being offered, the market in which it is offered, and its cost 
characteristics. Id. 2-3. See also id. at 6. (``[T]he relevant cost and 
market characteristics are similar, if not the same, for this contract 
and the baseline GEPS 2 contract.'').
    The Postal Service also contends that its filings demonstrate that 
the new GEPS 2 contract complies with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 
3633. It requests that the contract be included within the GEPS 2 
product. Id. at 6.
