I. Introduction
In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642
and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq., the Postal
Service filed a request and associated
supporting information to add Priority
Mail Contract 72 to the competitive
product list.1 The Postal Service asserts
that Priority Mail Contract 72 is a
competitive product ‘‘not of general
applicability’’ within the meaning of 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at 1. The Request
has been assigned Docket No. MC2014–
10.
The Postal Service
contemporaneously filed a redacted
contract related to the proposed new
product. Id. Attachment B. The instant
contract has been assigned Docket No.
CP2014–11.
Request. To support its Request, the
Postal Service filed six attachments as
follows:
• Attachment A—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 11–6,
authorizing the new product;
• Attachment B—a redacted copy of
the contract;
• Attachment C—proposed changes
to the Mail Classification Schedule
competitive product list 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); and
• Attachment F—an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain redacted portions of the
contract and related financial
information under seal.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Dennis R. Nicoski,
Manager, Field Sales Strategy and
Contracts, asserts that the contract will
cover its attributable costs and increase
contribution toward the requisite 5.5
percent of the Postal Service’s total
institutional costs. Id. Attachment D at
1 Request
of the United States Postal Service to
Add Priority Mail Contract 72 to Competitive
Product List and Notice of Filing (Under Seal) of
Unredacted Governors’ Decision, Contract, and
Supporting Data, December 9, 2013 (Request).

1. Mr. Nicoski contends that there will
be no issue of market dominant
products subsidizing competitive
products as a result of this contract. Id.
Related contract. The Postal Service
included a redacted version of the
related contract with the Request. Id.
Attachment B. The contract is
scheduled to become effective one
business day after the Commission
issues all necessary regulatory
approvals. Id. at 2. The contract will
expire three years from the effective
date unless, among other things, either
party terminates the agreement upon 30
days’ written notice to the other party or
renewed by mutual agreement. Id. The
contract also allows two 90-day
extensions of the agreement if the
preparation of a successor agreement is
active and the Commission is notified
within at least seven days of the
contract’s expiration date. The Postal
Service represents that the contract is
consistent with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).2
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
related contract, under seal. Id.
Attachment F. It maintains that the
redacted portions of the Governors’
Decision, contract, customer-identifying
information, and related financial
information should remain confidential.
Id. at 3. This information includes the
price structure, underlying costs and
assumptions, pricing formulas,
information relevant to the customer’s
mailing profile, and cost coverage
projections. Id. The Postal Service asks
the Commission to protect customeridentifying information from public
disclosure indefinitely. Id. at 7.
II. Notice of Filings
The Commission establishes Docket
Nos. MC2014–10 and CP2014–11 to
consider the Request pertaining to the
proposed Priority Mail Contract 72
product and the related contract,
respectively.
Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Postal
Service’s filings in the captioned
dockets are consistent with the policies
of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 3642, 39 CFR
3015.5, and 39 CFR part 3020, subpart
B. Comments are due no later than
December 18, 2013. The public portions
of these filings can be accessed via the
Commission’s Web site (https://
www.prc.gov).
2 Although the Request appears to state that the
certification only pertains to paragraphs (1) and (3)
of 39 U.S.C. 3633(a), the certification itself contains
an assertion that the prices are in compliance with
39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1), (2), and (3). See Request at 2;
