Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 122 / Thursday, June 25, 2015 / Proposed Rules
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February
26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant
preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will
only affect air traffic procedures and air
navigation, it is certified that this rule,
when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

I. Introduction
On June 17, 2015, the Postal Service
filed a petition pursuant to 39 CFR
3050.11 requesting that the Commission
initiate an informal rulemaking
proceeding to consider changes to
analytical principles relating to periodic
reports.1 Proposal Two is attached to the
Petition and identifies the proposed
analytical method change as a change
for a unified International Cost and
Revenue Analysis Report (ICRA). Id.
Attachment at 1. The Postal Service

the Initiation of a Proceeding to Consider Proposed
Changes in Analytical Principles (Proposal Two),
June 17, 2015 (Petition).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:55 Jun 24, 2015
Jkt 235001
The Postal Service proposes replacing
the traditional imputed and booked
versions of the ICRA report with a
single, unified version. Petition,
Attachment at 1. The booked version
reflects the cost of settlement payments
as reported in the Postal Service’s
financial statements. Id. at 1–2. The
imputed version reflects the costs of
settlement payments estimated from the
known settlement rate for each country
multiplied by the known units (number
of pieces or pounds of mail or both,
depending on the formula application
for each county). Id. at 1. Two versions
of the ICRA were previously necessary
because of the lag time between actual
mail flows and settlement transactions
between the Postal Service and foreign
postal administrators. Id.
The Postal Service, however, explains
that the majority of the settlement
payment timing delay was eliminated in
fiscal year 2012 with the
implementation of the Foreign Payment
System for inbound revenue. Id. at 2.
The Postal Service states that this
proposal will allow it to report financial
results for international mail in a
unified ICRA, in a manner consistent
with the Revenue, Pieces and Weight
report and the Postal Service’s financial
statements. Id. at 2.
The Postal Service states that the
impact of this proposal is very small. Id.
at 3. By way of an example, the Postal
Service states that for each of the last
three fiscal years, the differences in both
total cost and total revenue between the
imputed and booked versions have been
one percent or less. Id. In addition, the
Postal Service states that producing a
unified ICRA will streamline its
production process and reduce the
number of items the Commission must
review. Id. Moreover, the Postal Service
explains that a unified ICRA will
eliminate the need to distinguish
between versions under discussion,
thereby avoiding confusion. Id.
III. Initial Commission Action
The Commission establishes Docket
No. RM2015–10 for consideration of
matters raised by the Petition.
Additional information concerning the
Petition may be accessed via the
Commission’s Web site at https://
www.prc.gov. Interested persons may
submit comments on the Petition and
Proposal Two no later than July 30,
2015. Reply comments are due no later
than August 10, 2015. Pursuant to 39
U.S.C. 505, Kenneth E. Richardson is
designated as officer of the Commission
(Public Representative) to represent the
interests of the general public in this
proceeding.
IV. Ordering Paragraphs
It is ordered:
1. The Commission establishes Docket
No. RM2015–10 for consideration of the
matters raised by the Petition of the
United States Postal Service for the

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
