The Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2012– 20. The Postal Service contemporaneously filed a redacted contract related to the proposed new product. Id., Attachment B.

To support its Request, the Postal Service filed the following six attachments: • Attachment A—a redacted version of the Governors’ Decision and accompanying analysis. An explanation and justification is provided in the Governors’ Decision and analysis filed in the unredacted version under seal; • Attachment B—a redacted version of the instant contract; • Attachment C—the proposed changes in the Mail Classification Schedule with the addition underlined; • Attachment D—a Statement of Supporting Justification as required by 39 CFR 3020.32; • Attachment E—a certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1), (2), and (3); and • Attachment F—an application for non-public treatment of the materials filed under seal. The materials filed under seal are the unredacted version of the instant contract and the required cost and revenue data. In the Statement of Supporting Justification, Dennis R.
