TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2012 / Notices
within 30 days after all necessary
regulatory approvals have been
received. The contract will remain in
effect until June 30, 2014. Id.
Attachment 1 at 5. It may, however, be
terminated by either party on not less
than 30 days’ written notice. Id.
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
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. at 4–5.
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 5–6.

subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
