I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On March 14, 2012, the Postal Service
filed a notice announcing that it has
entered into an additional International
Business Reply Service (IBRS) contract.1
The Postal Service asserts that the
instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline
contract originally filed in Docket Nos.
MC2011–21 and CP2011–59 and
supported by Governors’ Decision No.
08–24 (IBRS 3 baseline contract). Id.,
Attachment 3. The notice explains that
Order No. 684, which established IBRS
Competitive Contracts 3 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.
The instant contract. The Postal
Service filed the instant contract
pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5, and states
that the instant contract is also in
compliance with Order No. 178. The
instant contract is the successor to the
contract found by the Commission to be
eligible for inclusion in the IBRS
Competitive Contract 3 (MC2011–21)
product in Docket No. CP2011–61. Id. at
2. It is scheduled to become effective on
April 1, 2012, and will remain in effect
until 1 year after its effective date,
unless termination of the agreement
occurs earlier. Id. The instant contract
may be terminated by either party upon
30 days’ written notice. Id., Attachment
1 at 4.
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. 08–24, which
establishes prices and classifications for
IBRS contracts, a description of
1 Notice of the United States Postal Service Filing
of a Functionally Equivalent International Business
Reply Service Competitive Contract 3 Negotiated
Service Agreement, March 14, 2012 (Notice).
PO 00000

applicable IBRS contracts, formulas for
prices, an analysis of the formulas, a
certification as to the formulas for prices
offered under applicable IBRS contracts,
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 file supporting documents
under seal.
The notice enumerates the reasons
why the instant IBRS Competitive
Contract allegedly fits within the Mail
Classification Schedule language for
IBRS Competitive Contract 3. The Postal
Service identifies general contract terms
that distinguish the instant contract
from the IBRS 3 baseline contract, such
as (1) a revised sentence in Article 15
stating that the Postal Service may be
required to file information in
connection with the contract in other
Commission dockets; and (2) an
additional Article 30 concerning
intellectual property, co-branding, and
licensing. Id. at 5. The Postal Service
states that the differences affect neither
the fundamental service that the Postal
Service is offering nor the fundamental
structure of the contract. Id.
The Postal Service concludes that its
filing demonstrates that the new IBRS
contract complies with the requirements
of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally
equivalent to the IBRS 3 baseline
contract filed in Docket Nos. MC2011–
21 and CP2011–59. Id. at 6. Therefore,
it requests that the instant contract be
included within the IBRS Competitive
Contract 3 (MC2011–21) product. Id.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2012–18 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. 3633 and 39 CFR
3015.5. Comments are due no later than
March 23, 2012. The public portions of
this filing can be accessed via the
Commission’s Web site, https://
www.prc.gov.
The Commission appoints James F.
Callow to serve as Public Representative
in the captioned proceeding.
III. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2012–18 for consideration of
matters raised by the Postal Service’s
notice.
2. Comments by interested persons in
this proceeding are due no later than
March 23, 2012.
