The new information allows the recognition of a distinction between collected prepaid parcels weighing less than or equal to 2 pounds, and those greater than 2 pounds. Proposal Six involves the International Cost and Revenue Analysis (ICRA). The Postal Service considers this proposal a change in calculation procedure, not an analytical methodology change. The change would separately incorporate the Inbound Processing and Carrier In–Office costs for Canada, Developing Countries and Industrialized Countries into the ICRA model using IOCS. The Postal Service asserts that this incorporates the Commission’s methodology for using IOCS tally analysis into the ICRA model. Proposal Seven would introduce a mailflow–based model of mail processing costs for Standard Mail Parcels and NFMs (Not–Flat Machinables). The Postal Service previously did not have a cost model for mail processing for this product. Proposal Eight involves the distribution key for distributing empty equipment transportation costs to products. These costs are included in cost segment 14 (purchased transportation). The proposal is to attribute the empty equipment costs to products using a distribution factor that is based on the aggregate pound miles traveled on modes of transportation sampled by the Transportation Cost System (TRACS). The attachments to the Postal Service’s Petition explain each proposal in more detail, including its objective, background, impact, and an empirical example (comparing the changes in data reporting to the status quo). The Petition, including the attachments, is available for review on the Commission’s Web site, https://www.prc.gov. Comments on Proposals Three through Eight are due no later than October 8, 2010. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Cassie D’Souza is appointed as Public Representative to represent the interests of the general public concerning Proposals Three through Six and Eight; and John P. Klingenberg is appointed as Public Representative to represent the interests of the general public concerning Proposal Seven. It is ordered: 1. The Petition of the United States Postal Service Requesting Initiation of a Proceeding to Consider Proposed Changes in Analytic Principles (Proposals Three—Eight), filed September 8, 2010, is granted. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:00 Sep 17, 2010 Jkt 220001 2. The Commission establishes Docket No. RM2010–12 to consider the matters raised by the Postal Service’s Petition. 3. Interested persons may submit comments on Proposals Three through Eight no later than October 8, 2010. 4.
