Introduction The Postal Service seeks approval of proposed revisions to the Global Expedited Package Services—NonPublished Rates (GEPS–NPR) 4 model contract.1 This Order provides public notice of the Postal Service’s Notice and addresses other administrative steps. II. Postal Service’s Filing On August 28, 2013, the Postal Service filed its Notice, along with redacted and unredacted versions of the revised GEPS–NPR 4 model contract. A redacted version of the revised model contract was filed as Attachment 1 to the Notice. An unredacted version was filed under seal with the Commission. The Postal Service seeks confidential treatment of the sealed version and incorporates by reference the Application for Non-Public Treatment submitted with its December 21, 2012 notice in the instant docket seeking the same treatment for the original version of the GEPS–NPR 4 model contract. Id. at 3. The Postal Service identifies two types of changes to the model contract. The first set consists of changes to reflect the Postal Service’s interest in allowing the rates in each GEPS–NPR 4 contract to remain unchanged throughout the term of each contract. Id. at 1. These changes entail the revision of Paragraph 1 of Article 15; the deletion of Paragraph 2 of Article 15; and the renumbering of the subsequent paragraphs of Article 15. Id. The Postal Service intends to make these revisions 1 See Notice of the United States Postal Service Concerning Revisions to Global Expedited Package Services—Non-Published Rates 4 Model Contract, August 28, 2013 (Notice).

It also intends to offer a modification to affected existing GEPS– NPR 4 contract holders, and states it will file signed modifications in the applicable dockets. Id. The Postal Service characterizes the second set of changes as minor. Id. One is a template-wide replacement of the product name ‘‘Express Mail International’’ with ‘‘Priority Mail Express International’’ pursuant to a previous Commission approval of the nomenclature change.2 Notice at 2. The other is a revision to the last sentence of Article 12 (Term of the Agreement). Id. at 3. The Postal Service states that this change is intended to simplify reporting of costs and revenues. Id. The revision reads as follows: ‘‘The Agreement shall remain in effect for one calendar year from the Effective Date or the last day of the month which falls one calendar year from the Effective Date, whichever is later, unless terminated sooner pursuant to Article 13 or Article 14.’’ Id. The Postal Service intends to include the second set of changes in GEPS–NPR 4 contracts offered to customers after the filing of the instant Notice. Id. at 2. III.
