Introduction II. Notice of Filing III. Ordering Paragraphs I. Introduction On September 1, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing that it has entered into an additional Global Expedited Package Services 3 (GEPS 3) contract.1 The Postal Service believes the instant contract is functionally equivalent to previously submitted GEPS 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 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 contract. The Postal Service filed the instant contract pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends that the instant contract is in accordance with Order No. 86. The Postal Service relates that the instant contract is for the same mailer as in Docket No. CP2009–60. It states that the mailer’s current contract was scheduled to terminate at the end of its one year term on August 31, 2010; however, it filed a Motion for Temporary Relief to extend the contract pending completion of the Commission’s review of the successor 1 Notice of United States Postal Service of Filing A Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited Package Services 3 Negotiated Service Agreement and Application For Non-Public Treatment of Materials Filed Under Seal, September 1, 2010 (Notice). 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).

Notice at 3. In support of its Notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments as follows: •Attachment 1—a redacted copy of the contract and applicable annexes; •Attachment 2—a certified statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for the contract; •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 •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 3 contract fits within the Mail Classification Schedule language for GEPS. The Postal Service identifies customer-specific information and general contract terms that distinguish the instant contract 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 contract’s functional equivalency. Id. at 4. The Postal Service asserts that ‘‘[b]ecause the agreement incorporates the same cost attributes and methodology, the relevant characteristics of this GEPS contract are similar, if not the same, as the relevant characteristics of previously filed contracts.’’ Id. The Postal Service concludes that its filing demonstrates that this new GEPS 3 contract 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 contract be included within the GEPS 3 product. Id. at 5. II.

I. Introduction

    On September 1, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing 
that it has entered into an additional Global Expedited Package 
Services 3 (GEPS 3) contract.\1\ The Postal Service believes the 
instant contract is functionally equivalent to previously submitted 
GEPS 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 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.

Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited Package Services 3 
Negotiated Service Agreement and Application For Non-Public 
Treatment of Materials Filed Under Seal, September 1, 2010 (Notice).

Product List, August 28, 2009 (Order No. 290).

    The instant contract. The Postal Service filed the instant contract 
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends 
that the instant contract is in accordance with Order No. 86. The 
Postal Service relates that the instant contract is for the same mailer 
as in Docket No. CP2009-60. It states that the mailer's current 
contract was scheduled to terminate at the end of its one year term on 
August 31, 2010; however, it filed a Motion for Temporary Relief to 
extend the contract pending completion of the Commission's review of 
the successor contract.\3\ The Commission granted an extension of the 
contract ``until the sooner of the Commission's order on the successor 
contract or September 30, 2010.''\4\

    \3\ Motion of the United States Postal Service for Temporary 
Relief, August 26, 2010 (Motion).
    \4\ Order Granting Motion for Temporary Relief, August 27, 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The term of the instant 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:
    Attachment 1--a redacted copy of the contract and 
applicable annexes;
    Attachment 2--a certified statement required by 39 CFR 
3015.5(c)(2) for the contract;
    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
    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 3 contract fits 
within the Mail Classification Schedule language for GEPS. The Postal 
Service identifies customer-specific information and general contract 
terms that distinguish the instant contract 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 contract's functional equivalency. Id. at 
4. The Postal Service asserts that ``[b]ecause the agreement 
incorporates the same cost attributes and methodology, the relevant 
characteristics of this GEPS contract are similar, if not the same, as 
the relevant characteristics of previously filed contracts.'' Id.
    The Postal Service concludes that its filing demonstrates that this 
new GEPS 3 contract 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 contract be included within the 
GEPS 3 product. Id. at 5.
