I. Introduction
On April 27, 2012, the Postal Service
filed a notice announcing that it has
entered into an additional Global
Reseller Expedited Package (GREP)
contract.1 The Postal Service states that
the instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the contract filed in
Docket No. CP2010–36 (GREP baseline
agreement) and is supported by the
Governors’ Decision No. 10–1 attached
to the Notice and originally filed in
Docket No. CP2010–36. Id. at 1–2,
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.
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. Id. 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 instant contract will

remain in effect until either party
terminates the agreement. It may be
terminated, among other instances,
upon 30 days written notification by
either party. 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 instant contract;
• Attachment 2—a certified statement
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decisions 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 sets forth reasons why the
instant contract is functionally
equivalent to the GREP baseline
agreement. It states that the instant
contract differs from the GREP baseline
agreement in several ways pertaining to
the revisions or clarifications of terms,
e.g., additions of definitions for Express
Mail International and Priority Mail
International, minimum revenue
commitment, revisions of prices,
effective date, customs and export
requirements, and periodic review of
minimum commitment. Id. at 4–6. The
Postal Service states that the differences
affect neither the fundamental service
that it is offering nor the fundamental
structure of the contract. Id. at 6–7. It
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.
The Postal Service concludes that its
filing demonstrates that the instant
contract complies with the requirements
of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally
equivalent to the baseline GREP
contract. Therefore, it requests that the
instant contract be included within the
GREP Contracts 1 product. Id. at 3–7.
II. Notice of Filing
The Commission establishes Docket
No. CP2012–21 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
May 8, 2012. The public portions of this

Foundation provides a unique
opportunity for different sectors (FDA,

mission.
The Foundation has announced initial

systems biology approach to preclinical
safety testing; new ways to develop
tuberculosis (TB) multi-drug regimens;
and pilot fellowship programs in the
areas of safety surveillance, large scale
data analysis, and toxicology. The
Foundation seeks comments on these
and other potential topics for future
activities.
