SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 24, 2011, the Postal Service 

filed a request with the Commission to 

modify the market dominant and the 

competitive product lists pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq.1

The Postal Service proposes to: (1) 

remove commercial First-Class Mail 

Parcels from the market dominant 

product list; and (2) add a new product, 

provisionally titled Lightweight 

Commercial Parcels, to the competitive 

product list. 

The Postal Service explains that 

commercial First-Class Mail Parcels 

refers to the First-Class Mail 

Commercial Base Parcels and the FirstClass Mail Commercial Plus Parcels 

price categories of the First-Class Mail 

Parcels product. Id. at 1, n.1. It contends 

that these are essentially fulfillment 

shipping offerings that compete with an 

assortment of comparable products 

offered by competitors. Id. at 2. Thus, 

the Postal Service proposes to remove 

these price categories from the market 

dominant First-Class Mail Parcels 

product and add the price categories to 

the competitive product list as a new 

product titled ‘‘Lightweight Commercial 

Parcels.’’ Content restrictions will be 

added to the new product prohibiting 

the inclusion of letters as defined under 

the Private Express Statutes. This 

proposal does not affect the current 

market dominant retail First-Class Mail 

Parcels offerings. 

The Postal Service includes the 

following attachments with its Request: 

• Attachment A—Resolution of the 

Governors of the United States Postal 

Service, Resolution No. 11–3, 

Restructuring First-Class Mail Parcel 

Product Offerings; 

• Attachment B—Statement of 

Supporting Justification; and 

• Attachment C—Mail Classification 

Changes. 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. MC2011–22 to consider the Postal 

Service’s product list modification 

proposals described within its Request. 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Postal 

Service’s filing in the captioned docket 

is consistent with the policies of 39 

U.S.C. 3642, 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. and 

the general provisions of title 39. 

Comments are due no later than March 

16, 2011. Reply comments, if any, are 

due March 25, 2011. The Postal 

Service’s filing can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http://
