Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 128 / Thursday, July 3, 2014 / Notices
current. Regulatory Guide 10.1 provides
a summary of the reporting
requirements in existence at the time of
issuance and becomes outdated upon
the first change to any NRC reporting
requirement after issuance. The most
recent version of RG 10.1, Revision 4,
was issued in October 1981 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML003740185).
Regulatory Guide 10.1 provides a
compilation of reporting requirements
applicable to the various types of NRC
licensees and other persons subject to
NRC regulations. It is impractical to
continue to maintain current and
accurate information in a timely
manner, and is duplicative of the
information that is already provided in
a timely manner in the NRC’s
regulations in Chapter 1 of Title 10 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR).
II. Additional Information
The withdrawal of RG 10.1 does not
alter any prior or existing licensing
commitments based on its use. The
guidance provided in RG 10.1 is no
longer necessary. Regulatory guides may
be withdrawn when their guidance no
longer provides useful information, or is
superseded by technological
innovations, Congressional actions, or
other events.
Regulatory guides are revised for a
variety of reasons and the withdrawal of
an RG should be thought of as the final
revision of the guide. Although a
regulatory guide is withdrawn, current
licensees may continue to use it, and
withdrawal does not affect any existing
licenses or agreements. Withdrawal of a
regulatory guide means that the
regulatory guide should not be used for
future NRC licensing activities. Changes
to existing licenses can be accomplished
using other regulatory products.

of June, 2014.

I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filings
III. Commission Action
IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On June 25, 2014, the Postal Service
filed a notice with the Commission
under 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR
3020.30 et seq. requesting that certain
changes be made to the market
dominant and competitive product
lists.1 Specifically, the Postal Service
proposes to: (1) Transfer Inbound
Surface Parcel Post (at Universal Postal
Union (UPU) rates) from the market
dominant product list to the competitive
product list; (2) merge the transferred
product with Inbound Air Parcel Post
(at UPU rates); and (3) identify the
merged product as Inbound Parcel Post
(at UPU rates). Id. at 1.
The Postal Service asserts that the
transfer of Inbound Surface Parcel Post
(at UPU rates) to the competitive
product list is consistent with the
current classification schedule and
fulfills all of the criteria for competitive
products under 39 U.S.C. 3642. Id. at 1–
2. It therefore requests that the
Commission transfer Inbound Surface
Parcel Post (at UPU rates) from the
market dominant product list to the
competitive product list, merge the
transferred product with Inbound Air
Parcel Post (at UPU rates), and identify
the merged product as Inbound Parcel
Post (at UPU rates). The Postal Service
states that there are no material changes
to the product description and pricing
but that the proposed Mail
Classification Schedule (MCS) language
does contain minor adjustments to
ensure consistency between the Air and
Surface Parcel Post descriptions. Id. at
2.
1 Request of the United States Postal Service to
Transfer Inbound Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates)
to the Competitive Product List, June 25, 2014
(Request).
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
II. Notice of Filings
Supporting materials. To support its
Request, the Postal Service filed the
following attachments:
• Attachment A—Resolution of the
Governors of the United States Postal
Service, June 18, 2014 (Resolution No.
14–03);
• Attachment B—Statement of
Supporting Justification; and
• Attachment C—Draft Mail
Classification Schedule (MCS)
Language.
In its Statement of Supporting
Justification, the Postal Service explains
why the proposed changes will not
violate the standards of 39 U.S.C. 3633.
It notes that in FY 2013, Inbound
Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates) had
a cost coverage of 153.6 percent. This
cost coverage, together with the
combined cost coverage of Inbound
Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates) and
Inbound Air Parcel Post (at UPU rates)
from FY 2013, show that the transfer
will not adversely affect the Postal
Service’s ability to cover total
institutional costs. Id., Attachment B at
2.
To verify that the proposed change
would not classify as competitive a
product over which the Postal Service
exercises sufficient market power, the
Postal Service asserts that the UPU sets
prices for Inbound Surface Parcel Post
such that the Postal Service’s market
dominance is not related to the pricing
of the product. Id., Attachment B at 2.
The Postal Service also claims Inbound
Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates) is
outside the scope of the letter monopoly
because the rates payable are higher
than six times the current price of a oneounce Single-Piece First-Class letter and
therefore falls within an exception to
the Private Express Statutes in section
601(b)(1) of title 39. Id.
The Postal Service states that
enterprises in the private sector engaged
in the delivery of the product consist of
private consolidators, freight
forwarders, and integrators offering
international shipping arrangements
providing inbound parcel delivery
services under similar conditions. Id.,
Attachment B at 3.
In describing the views of current
customers who use the product, the
Postal Service indicates that it does not
anticipate any major concern of
customers because: (1) Neither the
product nor the inward land rate is
changing as a result of the transfer; (2)
the Inbound Surface Parcel Postal (at
UPU rates) has been available for years;
and (3) the classification of the product
does not affect the availability of the
service or terms and conditions. Id.
PO 00000
Frm 00074
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Similarly, the Postal Service does not
anticipate an impact on small
businesses because: (1) Neither the
product nor the inward land rates is
changing as a result of the transfer; (2)
Inbound Surface Parcel Post (at UPU
rates) has been available for years; and
(3) the classification of the product does
not affect the availability of the service
or the terms and conditions. Id.
The Postal Service contends the
modifications will be consistent with
past practices regarding the MCS. It
asserts that Inbound Air Parcel Post (at
UPU rates) has been classified
previously as competitive; Inbound
Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates) has
been included in bilateral agreements as
part of the Inbound competitive MultiService Agreements with Foreign Postal
Operations product; the domestic Parcel
Post has recently been classified as
competitive; and the single
classification of Inbound Parcel Post (at
UPU rates) will provide consistent
treatment of parcel products in the
MCS. Id., Attachment B at 3–4.
III. Commission Action
The Commission establishes Docket
No. MC2014–28 to consider the Postal
Service’s proposals described in its
Request. Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Request is
consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C.

et seq. Comments are due by July 28,
2014. Reply comments are due by
August 11, 2014.
The Request and related filings are
available on the Commission’s Web site
(https://www.prc.gov). The Commission

IV. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
On June 25, 2014, the Postal Service filed a notice with the
Commission under 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. requesting
that certain changes be made to the market dominant and competitive
product lists.\1\ Specifically, the Postal Service proposes to: (1)
Transfer Inbound Surface Parcel Post (at Universal Postal Union (UPU)
rates) from the market dominant product list to the competitive product
list; (2) merge the transferred product with Inbound Air Parcel Post
(at UPU rates); and (3) identify the merged product as Inbound Parcel
Post (at UPU rates). Id. at 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Request of the United States Postal Service to Transfer
Inbound Surface Parcel Post (at UPU rates) to the Competitive
Product List, June 25, 2014 (Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Postal Service asserts that the transfer of Inbound Surface
Parcel Post (at UPU rates) to the competitive product list is
consistent with the current classification schedule and fulfills all of
the criteria for competitive products under 39 U.S.C. 3642. Id. at 1-2.
It therefore requests that the Commission transfer Inbound Surface
Parcel Post (at UPU rates) from the market dominant product list to the
competitive product list, merge the transferred product with Inbound
Air Parcel Post (at UPU rates), and identify the merged product as
Inbound Parcel Post (at UPU rates). The Postal Service states that
there are no material changes to the product description and pricing
but that the proposed Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) language does
contain minor adjustments to ensure consistency between the Air and
Surface Parcel Post descriptions. Id. at 2.
II. Notice of Filings
Supporting materials. To support its Request, the Postal Service
filed the following attachments:
Attachment A--Resolution of the Governors of the United
States Postal Service, June 18, 2014 (Resolution No. 14-03);
Attachment B--Statement of Supporting Justification; and
Attachment C--Draft Mail Classification Schedule (MCS)
Language.
In its Statement of Supporting Justification, the Postal Service
explains why the proposed changes will not violate the standards of 39
U.S.C. 3633. It notes that in FY 2013, Inbound Surface Parcel Post (at
UPU rates) had a cost coverage of 153.6 percent. This cost coverage,
together with the combined cost coverage of Inbound Surface Parcel Post
(at UPU rates) and Inbound Air Parcel Post (at UPU rates) from FY 2013,
show that the transfer will not adversely affect the Postal Service's
ability to cover total institutional costs. Id., Attachment B at 2.
To verify that the proposed change would not classify as
competitive a product over which the Postal Service exercises
sufficient market power, the Postal Service asserts that the UPU sets
prices for Inbound Surface Parcel Post such that the Postal Service's
market dominance is not related to the pricing of the product. Id.,
Attachment B at 2. The Postal Service also claims Inbound Surface
Parcel Post (at UPU rates) is outside the scope of the letter monopoly
because the rates payable are higher than six times the current price
of a one-ounce Single-Piece First-Class letter and therefore falls
within an exception to the Private Express Statutes in section

The Postal Service states that enterprises in the private sector
engaged in the delivery of the product consist of private
consolidators, freight forwarders, and integrators offering
international shipping arrangements providing inbound parcel delivery
services under similar conditions. Id., Attachment B at 3.
In describing the views of current customers who use the product,
the Postal Service indicates that it does not anticipate any major
concern of customers because: (1) Neither the product nor the inward
land rate is changing as a result of the transfer; (2) the Inbound
Surface Parcel Postal (at UPU rates) has been available for years; and
(3) the classification of the product does not affect the availability
