Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 6, 2010 / Notices
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of functions of the Office of Personnel
Management, and whether it will have
practical utility; whether our estimate of
the public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
and ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Approximately 8,000 reports of
missing payments are processed each
year. Of these, we estimate that 7,800
are reports of missing checks.
Approximately 200 reports of missing
checks are reported using RI 38–31 and
7,600 are reported by telephone. A
response time of ten minutes per form
reporting a missing check is estimated;
the same amount of time is needed to
report the missing checks or electronic
funds transfer (EFT) payments using the
telephone. The annual burden for
reporting missing checks is 1,300 hours.
The remaining 200 reports relate to EFT
payments. No missing EFT payments
are reported using RI 38–31. The annual
burden for reporting missing EFT
payments is 33 hours. The total burden
is 1,333 hours.

I. Introduction
On September 28, 2010, the Postal
Service filed a notice announcing that it
has entered into seven 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 through 1G—
redacted copies of the seven contracts
and applicable annexes;
•Attachments 2A through 2G—
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
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.

Seven Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited

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 seven 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.

Nos. CP2010–119 through CP2010–125
