The Postal Service also seeks to incorporate the Universal Postal Union’s (UPU) January 2016 price increases for Inbound Letter Post in the price cap calculation.2 II. Overview The Postal Service asserts that it provides the information required by 39 CFR 3010.12. Id. at 1. The Postal Service represents that it will inform the public of the proposed price adjustments consistent with 39 CFR 3010.12(a)(3). Id. at 2. Specifically, the Postal Service states that it will publish notice in the Postal Bulletin and the PCC Insider and issue a press release and postings on USPS.com and the Postal Explorer Web site. Id. The Postal Service asserts that its planned price adjustments comply with 39 U.S.C. 3622 and 3626. Id. at 1– 5, 10–14. A. Planned First-Class Mail and Standard Mail Promotions The Postal Service seeks approval for the following six promotions for the periods indicated: • Earned Value Reply Mail Promotion (January–June 2017), • Tactile, Sensory and Interactive Mailpiece Engagement Promotion (February–July 2017), • Emerging and Advanced Technology Promotion (March–August 2017), • Direct Mail Starter Promotion (May–July 2017), • Personalized Color Transpromo Promotion (July–December 2017), and • Mobile Shopping Promotion (August–December 2017). Id. at 7–9. The Postal Service asserts that five of these six promotions are continuations of CY 2016 promotions approved by the Commission in Docket No. R2016–2.3 The Postal Service represents that it will update the five continuing promotions for CY 2017 to vary the duration of certain promotions, expand eligibility to include additional mailpieces and categories of qualifying technology, and vary the credit amounts. Id. at 6–9. The Postal Service proposes to offer one new promotion, the Direct Mail Starter Promotion, 2 Id. at 3. Prices for Inbound Letter Post, also called terminal dues, are the reimbursements foreign postal operators pay the Postal Service for delivery of international mail.

Id. at 6, 8. B. Inbound Letter Post and FCMP Price Increases The Postal Service represents that its planned price increases would align FCMP ‘‘Retail’’ prices with the corresponding prices for First-Class Package Service (FCPS), a competitive product. Id. at 10. Specifically, the Postal Service indicates that it proposes increases to the one-, two-, and threeounce rate cells in the FCMP ‘‘Retail’’ as well as the ‘‘Keys and Identification Devices’’ price categories. Id. at 10, n.7. The Postal Service notes that in January 2016, the UPU increased the prices for Inbound Letter Post. Id. at 3. The Postal Service represents that ‘‘[i]n First-Class Mail, th[e] additional [price cap] authority [resulting from the planned CY 2017 promotions] is offset by the impact of the price increases in FCMP and the incorporation of the January 2016 price increases for Inbound Letter Post in the price cap calculation.’’ Id. (footnote omitted). C. Contents of Notice To support its Notice, the Postal Service filed its proposed changes to the Mail Classification Schedule, CY 2017 Promotions Calendar, and calculation of price cap authority. The Postal Service concurrently filed three library references, workpapers supporting its price cap calculation, along with an application for non-public treatment for one library reference.4 III.
