SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Table of Contents I. Introduction VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:09 Oct 25, 2010 Jkt 223001 II. Notice of Filings III. Ordering Paragraphs I. Introduction On September 30, 2010, the Postal Service filed a request pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to add Inbound International Expedited Services 4 to the competitive product list.1 The Postal Service asserts that Inbound International Expedited Services 4 is a competitive product within the meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2010–37. The Postal Service contemporaneously filed notice pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR 3015.5 that new rates for inbound Express Mail Service (EMS) from Canada will become effective January 1, 2011, as provided in the Canada Post— United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound Competitive Services (Bilateral Agreement), which governs bilateral rates for EMS with Canada Post Corporation (Canada Post), the postal operator in Canada. Id. at 1. It notes that prices and classifications ‘‘not of general applicability’’ for negotiated service agreements concerning Inbound International Expedited Services have been previously established in Governors’ Decision No. 08–5.2 Id. at 1– 2. The Postal Service states the rates authorized by the Governors are an exception to those offered through the Universal Postal Union (UPU) EMS Cooperative. Id. The new prices, which are effective January 1, 2011, have been assigned Docket No. CP2010–126. Background. The Bilateral Agreement, which was added to the competitive product list by Order No. 376,3 covers parcels arriving in the United States by surface transportation and Xpresspost, a Canadian service for documents, packets, and light-weight packages. Governors’ Decision No. 09–16.4 Under 1 Request to Add Inbound International Expedited Services 4 to the Competitive Product List, and Notice of United States Postal Service of Filing Canada Post Group—United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement (Under Seal), September 30, 2010 (Request). 2 Governors’ Decision No. 08–5, April 1, 2008, established prices for the inbound services offered under Express Mail International bilateral/ multilateral agreements. 3 Docket Nos. MC2010–14 and CP2010–13, Order Concerning Bilateral Agreement with Canada Post for Inbound Competitive Services, December 30, 2009 (Order No. 376). 4 See Docket Nos. MC2010–14 and CP2010–13, Request of the United States Postal Service to Add Canada Post—United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound Competitive Services to the Competitive Product List, and Notice of Filing (Under Seal) the Enabling of Governors’ Decision and Agreement, November PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65675 the Bilateral Agreement, Canada Post may tender surface parcels and Xpresspost to the Postal Service at negotiated prices rather than the default prices through the UPU. The Bilateral Agreement establishes rates for 2010 and 2011. Id. On August 2, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 3020.90 et seq., of a classification change concerning the Bilateral Agreement.5 The classification change filed in Docket No. MC2010–33, effective August 23, 2010, was approved by the Commission in Order No. 522.6 The effect of this change is that inbound surface parcels tendered by Canada Post are now handled as Priority Mail and subject to the rates for Xpresspost merchandise established in the Bilateral Agreement. Additionally, for the period August 23, 2010 through December 31, 2010 a small volume of residual Xpresspost items will continue to be rated and handled as Xpresspost under the Bilateral Agreement.7 The classification change was prompted by Canada Post’s decision to no longer dispatch parcels, referred to as Expedited Parcels, for entry into the Postal Service’s Parcel Post network. Consequently, the service for Expedited Parcels is now provided at existing negotiated rates for Xpresspost in lieu of the negotiated surface parcel post rates. Xpresspost items are rated and handled as Express Mail with Canada as a Tier 1 country in the EMS country listing beginning August 23, 2010. In its Notice, the Postal Service stated ‘‘assuming that the rates charged to Canada Post for EMS-rated items are not the same as other rates charged to other countries, then before the end of CY 2010, the Postal Service will accordingly initiate a separate, combined mail classification and competitive price change proceeding to give effect to the CY 2011 rates for 25, 2009. See also Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on the Establishment of Prices and Classifications for Canada Post— United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound Competitive Services, November 18, 2009 (Governors’ Decision No. 09– 16). The agreement became effective January 1, 2010 and is scheduled to expire December 31, 2011, unless terminated earlier by either party on 90 days’ prior notice. Id., Attachment 3. 5 Notice of United States Postal Service of Proposed Minor Classification Change Concerning Canada Post—United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound Competitive Services, August 2, 2010 (Notice). 6 Docket No. MC2010–33, Order Accepting Minor Classification Changes Related to Canada Post— United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement, August 20, 2010 (Order No. 522). 7 The Postal Service indicates the treatment of residual Xpresspost items is necessary to accommodate the use of existing Xpresspost mailing labels through the end of CY 2010.
