I. Introduction
On August 30, 2010, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into two additional Global
Expedited Package Services 3 (GEPS 3)
contracts.1 The Postal Service believes
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,
Attachment 3. The Notice 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:
• Attachments 1A and 1B—redacted
copies of the two contracts and
applicable annexes;
•Attachments 2A and 2B—certified
statements required by 39 CFR
3015.5(c)(2) for each contract;
• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, which
establishes prices and classifications for

Clarification and Adding Global Expedited Package
Services 2 to the Competitive Product List, August
28, 2009 (Order No. 290).

GEPS contracts, a description of
applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for
prices, an analysis 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. Id. at 4–5. It states
that the differences, which include price
variations based on updated costing
information and volume commitments,
do not alter the contracts’ functional
equivalency. Id. at 4. The Postal Service
asserts that ‘‘[b]ecause the agreements
incorporate the same cost attributes and
methodology, the relevant
characteristics of these two 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

Nos. CP2010–102 and CP2010–103 for
