The instant contracts. The Postal Service filed the instant contracts pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends that each contract is in accordance with Order No. 86. The term of each contract is 1 year from the date the Postal Service notifies the customer that all necessary regulatory approvals have been received. Notice at 3. In support of its Notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments as follows: • Attachments 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E and 1F—redacted copies of the six contracts and applicable annexes; • Attachments 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F—a certified statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each of the six contracts; • Attachment 3—a redacted copy of Governors’ Decision No. 08–7 which establishes prices and classifications for GEPS contracts, a description of applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for prices, an analysis and certification of the formulas and certification of the Governors’ vote; and • Attachment 4—an application for non–public treatment of materials to maintain redacted portions of the contracts and supporting documents under seal. The Notice advances reasons why the instant GEPS 3 contracts fit within the Mail Classification Schedule language for GEPS.

    The instant contracts. The Postal Service filed the instant 
contracts pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service 
contends that each contract is in accordance with Order No. 86. The 
term of each contract is 1 year from the date the Postal Service 
notifies the customer that all necessary regulatory approvals have been 
received. Notice at 3.
    In support of its Notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments 
as follows:
     Attachments 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E and 1F--redacted copies of 
the six contracts and applicable annexes;
     Attachments 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F--a certified 
statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each of the six 
contracts;
     Attachment 3--a redacted copy of Governors' Decision No. 
08-7 which establishes prices and classifications for GEPS contracts, a 
description of applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for prices, an 
analysis and certification of the formulas and certification of the 
Governors' vote; and
     Attachment 4--an application for non-public treatment of 
materials to maintain redacted portions of the contracts and supporting 
documents under seal.
    The Notice advances reasons why the instant GEPS 3 contracts fit 
within the Mail Classification Schedule language for GEPS. The Postal 
Service identifies customer-specific information and general contract 
terms that distinguish the instant contracts from the baseline GEPS 3 
agreement all of which are highlighted in the Notice. Id. at 5. These 
modifications as described in the Postal Service's Notice apply to each 
of the instant contracts.
    The Postal Service contends that the instant contracts are 
functionally equivalent to the baseline contract for GEPS 3 and share 
the same cost and market characteristics as the previously filed GEPS 
contracts. Id. at 4. It states that in spite of differences including 
updates and volume or postage commitments of customers, the changes do 
not alter the contracts' functional equivalency. Id. at 4-5. The Postal 
Service asserts that ``[b]ecause the agreements incorporate the same 
cost attributes and methodology, the relevant characteristics of these 
six GEPS contracts are similar, if not the same, as the relevant 
characteristics of previously filed contracts.'' Id. at 5.
    The Postal Service concludes that its filings demonstrate that each 
of the new GEPS 3 contracts complies with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 
3633 and is functionally equivalent to the baseline GEPS 3 contract. 
Therefore, it requests that the instant contracts be included within 
the GEPS 3 product. Id. at 6.
