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.

Functionally Equivalent Global Reseller Expedited Package Negotiated 
Service Agreement and Application For Non-Public Treatment of 
Materials Filed Under Seal, April 27, 2012 (Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.
