SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 4041 of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended (ERISA), a single-employer
pension plan may terminate voluntarily
only if it satisfies the requirements for
either a standard or a distress
termination. Pursuant to ERISA section
4041(b), for standard terminations, and
section 4041(c), for distress
terminations, and PBGC’s termination
regulation (29 CFR part 4041), a plan
administrator wishing to terminate a
plan is required to submit specified
information to PBGC in support of the
proposed termination and to provide
specified information regarding the
proposed termination to third parties
(participants, beneficiaries, alternate
payees, and employee organizations). In
the case of a plan with participants or
beneficiaries who cannot be located
when their benefits are to be distributed,
the plan administrator is subject to the
requirements of ERISA section 4050 and
PBGC’s missing participants regulation
(29 CFR part 4050). As noted above,
these regulations may be accessed on
PBGC’s Web site at https://
www.pbgc.gov. PBGC is making
clarifying, simplifying, editorial, and
other changes to the existing forms and

instructions (including changes
prompted by changes in ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code). The collection
of information under these regulations
and the implementing forms and
instructions has been approved by OMB
under control number 1212–0036
(expires September 30, 2010). PBGC is
requesting that OMB extend its approval
for three years. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
PBGC estimates that 1,381 plan
administrators will be subject to the
collection of information requirements
in PBGC’s termination and missing
participants regulations and
implementing forms and instructions
each year, and that the total annual
burden of complying with these
requirements is 2,325 hours and
$3,327,341. Much of the work
associated with terminating a plan is
performed for purposes other than
meeting these requirements.
Issued in Washington, DC, this 24th day of
August, 2010.

I. Introduction
On August 18, 2010, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into six additional Global
Expedited Package Services 3 (GEPS 3)
contracts.1 The Postal Service believes

(Notice).

the instant contracts are functionally
equivalent to previously submitted
GEPS contracts, and are supported by
Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached
to the Notice and originally filed in
Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1–2,
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 2. In Order No. 290,
the Commission approved the GEPS 2
product.2 In Order No. 503, the
Commission approved the GEPS 3
product. Additionally, the Postal
Service requested to have the contract in
Docket No. CP2010–71 serve as the
baseline contract for future functional
equivalence analyses of the GEPS 3
product.
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 one 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:
1. Attachments 1A, 1B, 1C ,1D, 1E and
1F—redacted copies of the six contracts
and applicable annexes;
2. Attachments 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and
2F—certified statements required by 39
CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each of the six
contracts;
3. 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 of the formulas, and
certification of the Governors’ vote; and
4. 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 4–5.
These modifications as described in the
2 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).

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 the differences including updates
and volume or postage commitments of
customers, do not alter the contracts’
functional equivalency. Id. 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.
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 5.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
Nos. CP2010–96 through CP2010–101
for consideration of matters related to
the contracts identified in the Postal
Service’s Notice.
These dockets are addressed on a
consolidated basis for purposes of this
order. Filings with respect to a
particular contract should be filed in
that docket.
Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Postal
Service’s contracts are consistent with
the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or
3642. Comments are due no later than
August 27, 2010. The public portions of
these filings can be accessed via the
Commission’s Web site (https://

Harrington to serve as Public

proceedings.
