In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642
and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq., and Order
No. 2558,1 the Postal Service filed a
formal request and associated
supporting information to add Global
Expedited Package Services—NonPublished Rates Contract 8 (GEPS—NPR
8) to the competitive product list.2 The
Postal Service states the addition of
1 Docket Nos. MC2015–55 and CP2015–83, Order
Adding Global Expedited Package Services—NonPublished Rates 7 to the Competitive Product List,
July 1, 2015, at 5–8 (Order No. 2558).
2 Request of the United States Postal Service to
Add Global Expedited Package Services—NonPublished Rates 8 (GEPS–NPR 8) to the Competitive
Products List and Notice of Filing GEPS–NPR 8
Model Contract and Application for Non-Public
Treatment of Materials Filed Under Seal, October 9,
2015 (Request).
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
GEPS—NPR 8 to the competitive
product list is necessary due to its
creation of both a Management Analysis
of the Prices and Methodology for
Determining Prices for Negotiated
Service Agreements under Global
Expedited Package Services—NonPublished Rates 8 (GEPS—NPR 8
Management Analysis), and an
accompanying financial model that
revises the previously filed GEPS—NPR
7 Management Analysis and its
financial model. Request at 2–3.
To support its Request, the Postal
Service filed the following attachments:
• Attachment 1, an application for
non-public treatment of materials filed
under seal;
• Attachment 2A, a redacted version
of Governors’ Decision No. 11–6;
• Attachment 2B, a revised version of
the Mail Classification Schedule section
2510.8 GEPS–NPR;
• Attachment 2C, a redacted version
of GEPS–NPR 8 Management Analysis;
• Attachment 2D, Maximum and
Minimum Prices for Global Express
Guaranteed (GXG), Priority Express Mail
International (PMEI), Priority Mail
International (PMI), and First-Class
Package International (FCPIS) under
GEPS–NPR 8 Contracts;
• Attachment 2E, the certified
statement concerning the prices for
applicable negotiated service
agreements under GEPS–NPR 8,
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
• Attachment 3, a Statement of
Supporting Justification, which is filed
pursuant to 39 CFR 3020.32; and
• Attachment 4, a redacted version of
the GEPS—NPR 8 model contract. Id. at
3–4.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Giselle Valera, Managing
Director and Vice President, Global
Business, asserts the product is
designed to increase efficiency of the
Postal Service’s process, as well as
enhance its ability to compete in the
marketplace. Request, Attachment 3 at
1. She contends GEPS—NPR 8 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
3 The Postal Service claims it does not exercise
sufficient market power to set the price of GXG,
PMEI, PMI, and FCPIS 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. at 3–4; 39 U.S.C. 3642(b).

institutional costs. Request, Attachment
3 at 1.
The Postal Service included a
redacted version of the GEPS—NPR 8
model contract with the Request. Id.
Attachment 4. The Postal Service
represents the GEPS–NPR 8 model
contract is similar to the GEPS—NPR 7
model contract approved by the
Commission in Order No. 2558. Request
at 6.
The Postal Service represents it will
notify each GEPS–NPR 8 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. Unless terminated
sooner, each contract will expire the
later of one calendar year from its
effective date or from the last day of the
month in which its effective date falls.
Id. The Postal Service represents that
the contract is in compliance with 39
U.S.C. 3633(a). Request at 4, 8; id.
Attachment 3 at 2–3.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including an
unredacted model contract, under seal.
Request at 7. It maintains that the
redacted portions of the materials
should remain confidential as sensitive
business information. Id. 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.
Attachment 1 at 5–8. The Postal Service
asks the Commission to protect
customer-identifying information from
public disclosure for 10 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. MC2016–5 and CP2016–5 to
consider the Request pertaining to the
proposed GEPS—NPR 8 product and the
related model contract, respectively.
The Commission invites 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 part 3015, and 39
CFR part 3020, subpart B. Comments are
