and an accompanying financial model
that revises the previously filed GEPS–

Postal Service’s process, as well as
enhance its ability to compete in the
marketplace. Request, Attachment 3 at
1. She contends GEPS–NPR 7 belongs
on the competitive product list as it is
part of a market over which the Postal
Service does not exercise market
dominance,3 is not subsidized by
market dominant products, covers costs
attributable to it, and does not cause
competitive products as a whole to fail
to make the appropriate contribution to
institutional costs. Request at 1, 3.
The Postal Service included a
redacted version of the GEPS–NPR 7
model contract with the Request. Id.
Attachment 4. The Postal Service
represents the GEPS–NPR 7 model
contract is a slight modification of the
GEPS–NPR 6 model contract approved
by the Commission in Order No. 2513.
Request at 4.
The Postal Service represents it will
notify each GEPS–NPR 7 customer of
the contract’s effective date no later than
30 days after receiving the signed
agreement from the customer. Id.
Attachment 4 at 4. Each contract will
expire the later of one year from the
effective date or the last day of the
month which falls one calendar year
from the effective date, unless
terminated sooner. Id. The Postal
Service represents that the contract is
consistent with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a).
Request at 4, 8; id. Attachment 3.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including an
unredacted model contract, under seal.
Request, Attachment 1. It maintains that
the redacted portions of the materials
should remain confidential as sensitive
business information. Request at 4. This
information includes sensitive
commercial information concerning the
incentive discounts and their
formulation, applicable cost coverage,
non-published rates, as well as some
customer-identifying information in
future signed agreements. Id. The Postal
Service asks the Commission to protect
customer-identifying information from
public disclosure for ten years after the
date of filing with the Commission,
unless an order is entered to extend the
duration of that status. Id. at 11.
II. Notice of Commission Action
The Commission establishes Docket
Nos. MC2015–55 and CP2015–83 to
consider the Request pertaining to the
3 The Postal Service claims it does not exercise
sufficient market power to set the price of PMEI,
PMI, and GXG substantially above costs, raise
prices significantly, decrease quality, or decrease
output, without risk of losing a significant level of
business to other firms offering similar products. Id.

To secure the required information,
the RRB utilizes Form RRB–1001,
