I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On August 18, 2011, the Postal
Service filed a notice, pursuant to 39
CFR 3015.5, that it has entered into an
additional Inbound Competitive MultiService Agreements with Foreign Postal
Operators 1 agreement.1 The Notice
concerns a bilateral agreement for
inbound competitive services with
Posten Norge AS (Norway Post
Agreement) that the Postal Service seeks
to add to the Inbound Competitive
Multi-Service Agreement with Foreign
Postal Operators 1 product.
In Order No. 546, the Commission
approved the Inbound Competitive
Multi-Service Agreement with Foreign
Postal Operators 1 product and a
functionally equivalent agreement,
Koninklijke TNT Post BV and TNT Post
Pakketservice Benelux BV (TNT
Agreement). The Postal Service asserts
that its filing demonstrates that the
Norway Post Agreement fits within the
Mail Classification Schedule (MCS)
language in Governors’ Decision No. 10–
3 originally filed in Docket Nos.
MC2010–34 and CP2010–95. Notice at
2.
In support of its Notice, the Postal
Service filed four attachments as
follows:
• Attachment 1—an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain redacted portions of the
agreement and supporting documents
under seal;
• Attachment 2—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 10–3 that
establishes prices and classifications for
Inbound Competitive Multi-Service
Agreements with Foreign Postal
Operators agreements, proposed MCS

language, formulas for prices,
certification of the Governors’ vote and
certification of compliance with 39
U.S.C. 3633(a);
• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of
the Norway Post Agreement; and
• Attachment 4—a certified statement
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2).
Norway Post Agreement. The Postal
Service filed the instant contract
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5 and in
accordance with Order No. 546. The
Postal Service states that the inbound
air parcel post competitive services in
the Norway Post Agreement conform to
the proposed MCS language for Inbound
Multi-Service Agreements with Foreign
Postal Operators 1. The Postal Service
states it will notify the mailer of the
effective date within 30 days after all
necessary regulatory approvals have
been received. Id. The agreement
provides that the parties will mutually
agree on the effective date. Id. at 3;
Attachment 3 at 1. The parties intend
for the agreement to become effective on
October 1, 2011, and to remain in effect
for 1 year with the option for renewal
for another year. Id. at 2; Attachment 3
at 1.
Functional equivalence. The Postal
Service asserts that the Norway Post
Agreement and the TNT Agreement
incorporate the same cost and market
characteristics. Notice at 3. It states that
the TNT Agreement includes similar
terms and conditions, e.g., is an
agreement with a foreign postal operator
and conforms to a common description.
Id. Additionally, the Postal Service
contends that the Norway Post
Agreement is similar in cost
characteristics with the TNT Agreement
other than certain minor adjustments,
such as expression of costs in different
currencies, which are slight
modifications that do not affect the
agreement’s functional equivalence. Id.
It maintains that because of the limited
changes, the cost characteristics are
essentially the same as the TNT
Agreement.2
The Postal Service identifies specific
terms that distinguish the instant
agreement from the existing agreement.
These distinctions include the term,
products, services, applicable law and
dispute resolution methods. Id. at 3–4.
Despite some minor differences, the
Postal Service asserts that the Norway
Post Agreement is functionally
equivalent to the TNT Agreement
previously filed. Id. at 4.
In its Notice, the Postal Service
maintains that certain portions of the
agreement, prices, and related financial
2 The Postal Service’s Notice refers to the TNT
Agreement as the ‘‘baseline agreement.’’ Id.

information should remain under seal.
Id. at 2; Attachment 1.
The Postal Service concludes that the
Norway Post Agreement complies with
39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally
equivalent to the TNT Agreement.
Notice at 4. Therefore, it requests that
the Commission add the Norway Post
Agreement to the Inbound Competitive
Multi-Service Agreement with Foreign
Postal Operators 1 product. Id.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on August 18, 2011, the
Commission received a petition for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the Prairie Hill
post office in Prairie Hill, Texas. The
petition was filed by Stell Waldrop, Jr.
(Petitioner) and is postmarked August
12, 2011. The Commission hereby
institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5) and establishes Docket No.
A2011–50 to consider Petitioner’s
appeal. If Petitioner would like to
further explain his position with
supplemental information or facts,
Petitioner may either file a Participant
Statement on PRC Form 61 or file a brief
with the Commission no later than

Petitioner contends that: (1) The Postal
Service failed to consider the effect of
the closing on the community (see 39

Service failed to consider whether or
not it will continue to provide a
maximum degree of effective and
regular postal services to the community

the Postal Service failed to adequately
