Classes Not of General Applicability for Priority 

Mail Contract Group, Docket No. MC2009–25, 

issued April 27, 2009, at 1 (Governors’ Decision No. 

09–6). 

Priority Mail Contract 36 is a 

competitive product ‘‘not of general 

applicability’’ within the meaning of 39 

U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Request at 1. The 

Request has been assigned Docket No. 

MC2012–2. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a redacted 

contract related to the proposed new 

product under 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 

39 CFR 3015.5. Id. Attachment B. The 

instant contract has been assigned 

Docket No. CP2012–6. 

Request. To support its Request, the 

Postal Service filed six attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachment A—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 09–6, 

authorizing certain Priority Mail 

contracts, and a certification of the 

Governors’ vote; 

• Attachment B—a redacted copy of 

the contract; 

• Attachment C—proposed changes 

to the Mail Classification Schedule 

competitive product list that would add 

Priority Mail Contract 36 under 

Domestic Negotiated Service 

Agreements; 

• Attachment D—a Statement of 

Supporting Justification as required by 

39 CFR 3020.32; 

• Attachment E—a certification of 

compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and 

• Attachment F—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain redacted portions of the 

contract, customer-identifying 

information, and related financial 

information under seal. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Dennis R. Nicoski, 

Manager, Field Sales Strategy and 

Contracts, asserts that the contract will 

cover its attributable costs, make a 

positive contribution to covering 

institutional costs, and increase 

contribution toward the requisite 5.5 

percent of the Postal Service’s total 

institutional costs. Id. Attachment D at 

1. Mr. Nicoski contends that there will 

be no issue of market dominant 

products subsidizing competitive 

products as a result of this contract. Id. 

Related contract. The Postal Service 

included a redacted version of the 

related contract with the Request. Id. 

Attachment B. The contract is 

scheduled to become effective on the 

day the Commission issues all necessary 

regulatory approval. Id. at 3. The 

contract will expire 3 years from the 

effective date unless, among other 

things, either party terminates the 

agreement upon 30 days’ written notice 

to the other party. Id. at 4. The Postal 

Service represents that the contract is 

consistent with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). Id. 

Attachment D. 

The Postal Service filed much of the 

supporting materials, including the 

related contract, under seal. Id. 

Attachment F. It maintains that the 

redacted portions of the contract, 

customer-identifying information, and 

related financial information, should 

remain confidential. Id. at 2–3. This 

information includes the price structure, 

underlying costs and assumptions, 

pricing formulas, information relevant 

to the customer’s mailing profile, and 

cost coverage projections. Id. The Postal 

Service asks the Commission to protect 

customer-identifying information from 

public disclosure indefinitely. Id. at 7.
