Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 22, 2011 / Notices
I. Introduction
On June 14, 2011, the Postal Service
filed a notice announcing that it has
entered into an additional Global
Reseller Expedited Package (GREP)
contract.1 The Postal Service believes
the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the GREP baseline
agreement and is supported by
Governors’ Decision No. 10–1 attached
to the Notice and originally filed in
Docket No. CP2010–36. Id. at 1,
Attachment 3. The Notice explains that
Order No. 445, which established GREP
Contracts 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 1–2. Additionally, the
Postal Service requested to have the
contract in Docket No. CP2010–36 serve
as the baseline contract for future
functional equivalence analyses of the
GREP Contracts 1 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. 445. The instant contract is a
renewal of the first GREP contract, filed
in Docket No. CP2010–36, which is
scheduled to expire on June 30, 2011.
Notice at 1. The Postal Service will
notify the mailer of the effective date
within 30 days after all necessary
regulatory approvals have been
received. The contract will remain in
effect until January 31, 2012, or a date
in January 2012 prior to the Postal
Service’s publication of price changes
for its Express Mail International and/or
Priority Mail International products. Id.
at 3. It may, however, be terminated by
either party on not less than 30 days’
written notice. Id. Attachment 1 at 5.
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);
• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 10–1, which
establishes prices and classifications for
GREP contracts, a description of
applicable GREP 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
1 Notice
of United States Postal Service of Filing
a Functionally Equivalent Global Reseller
Expedited Package Negotiated Service Agreement
and Application for Non-Public Treatment of
Materials Filed Under Seal, June 14, 2011 (Notice).
VerDate Mar<15>2010

contract and supporting documents
under seal.
The Notice advances reasons why the
instant GREP contract fits within the
Mail Classification Schedule language
for GREP Contracts 1. The Postal Service
identifies general contract terms that
distinguish the instant contract from the
baseline GREP agreement. It states that
the instant contract differs from the
contract in Docket No. CP2010–36
pertaining to revisions or clarification of
terms, e.g., definition of qualifying mail,
discounts offered by the reseller,
minimum revenue, periodic review of
minimum commitment, term,
assignment, number of rate groups, and
solicitation of reseller’s customers. Id. at
4–6. The Postal Service 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 GREP contract are
similar, if not the same, as the relevant
characteristics of the contract filed in
Docket No. CP2010–36.’’ Id.
The Postal Service concludes that its
filing demonstrates that the new GREP
contract complies with the requirements
of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally
equivalent to the baseline GREP
contract. It states that the differences do
not affect the services being offered or
the fundamental structure of the
contract. Therefore, it requests that the
instant contract be included within the
GREP Contracts 1 product. Id. at 6.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2011–65 for consideration of
matters related to the contract identified
in the Postal Service’s Notice.
Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Postal
Service’s contract is consistent with the
policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or
3642. Comments are due no later than

this filing can be accessed via the
Commission’s Web site (https://

Representative in the captioned
proceeding.

The instant contract. The Postal Service filed the instant contract
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service contends
