Neva R. Watson,
Attorney, Legislative.

Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on 
Changes in Rates and Classes of General Applicability for Competitive 
Products (Governors' Decision No. 10-4)

October 19, 2010

Statement of Explanation and Justification

    Pursuant to our authority under section 3632 of title 39, as 
amended by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 
(``PAEA''), we establish new prices of general applicability for the 
Postal Service's shipping services (competitive products), and such 
changes in classifications as are necessary to define the new prices. 
The changes are described generally below, with a detailed description 
of the changes in the attachment. The attachment includes the draft 
Mail Classification Schedule sections with changes in classification 
language in legislative format, and new prices displayed in the price 
charts.
    As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith, 
the changes we establish should enable each competitive product to 
cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)) and should result 
in competitive products as a whole complying with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3), 
which, as implemented by 39 CFR 3015.7(c), requires competitive 
products to contribute a minimum of 5.5 percent to the Postal Service's 
institutional costs. Accordingly, no issue of subsidization of 
competitive products by market dominant products should arise (39 
U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). We therefore find that the new prices and 
classification changes are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632-3633 and 
39 CFR 3015.2.

I. Domestic Products

A. Express Mail

    Overall, the Express Mail price change represents a 4.6 percent 
increase. The existing structure of zoned Retail, Commercial Base and 
Commercial Plus price categories is maintained.
    Retail prices will increase an average of 5.0 percent. The price 
for the Retail Flat Rate Envelope, a significant portion of all Express 
Mail volume, will remain the same at $18.30.
    The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers 
who use online and other authorized postage payment methods. The 
Commercial Base prices will remain the same.
    The Commercial Plus price category offers even lower prices to 
large-volume customers. The threshold for Commercial Plus customers 
will be reduced from 6,000 to 5,000 Express Mail pieces in the previous 
four quarters. Commercial Plus prices will decrease on average by 5.0 
percent.

B. Priority Mail

    Overall, Priority Mail prices will increase by 3.5 percent. In 
addition to the existing Retail, Commercial Base, and Commercial Plus 
price categories, new price categories for the Regional Rate Box and 
Critical Mail are being introduced.
    Retail prices will increase an average of 3.9 percent. Flat Rate 
Box prices will be: Small, $5.20; Medium, $10.95; Large, $14.95; and 
Large APO/FPO/DPO, $12.95. A new Legal Size Flat Rate Envelope and 
Padded Flat Rate Envelope will be offered, both priced at $4.95 at 
retail.
    The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers 
using online and other authorized postage payment methods. The average 
price increase for Commercial Base will be 3.2 percent.
    The Commercial Plus price category offers even lower prices to 
large-volume customers. The threshold for Commercial Plus customers 
will be reduced from 100,000 to 75,000 Priority Mail parcel pieces 
(cumulative letters, flats, parcels) in the previous calendar year. The 
threshold for Commercial Plus customers will be reduced from 100,000 to 
5,000 Priority Mail letter-size and flat-size pieces in the previous 
calendar year. This includes all USPS-produced Priority Mail envelopes 
(letters and flats) and customer-supplied envelopes (Letters and Flats) 
with the exception of the Padded Flat Rate Envelope. Customers who ship 
more than 600 Priority Mail Open and Distribute containers annually 
will also qualify for Commercial Plus. The average price increase for 
Commercial Plus will be 2.0 percent.

C. Parcel Select

    On average, prices for Parcel Select, the Postal Service's bulk 
ground shipping product, will increase 4.4 percent. For destination 
entered parcels, the average price increases are 8.0 percent for 
parcels entered at a destination delivery unit (DDU), 0.2 percent for 
parcels entered at a destination plant (DSCF) and 0.6 percent for 
parcels entered at a destination Network Distribution Center (DNDC). 
For nondestination-entered parcels, the average price increases are 9.8 
percent for origin Network Distribution Center (ONDC) presort, 7.7 
percent for Network Distribution Center (NDC) presort, and 7.6 percent 
for barcoded nonpresort.

D. Parcel Return Service

    Parcel Return Service prices will have an overall price increase of 
3.1 percent. Prices will increase 0.9 percent for parcels picked up at 
a return Network Distribution Center (RNDC) and 8.0 percent for parcels 
picked up at a return delivery unit (RDU).

E. Domestic Extra Services

    Premium Forwarding Service prices will increase 5.0 percent. The 
weekly reshipment fee will increase to $14.75. On average, Address 
Enhancement Service prices will increase 5.0 percent. The 49 Post 
Office Box locations recently added to the competitive product list are 
designated under a new fee group, C1.

II. International Products

A. Expedited Services

    International expedited services include Global Express Guaranteed 
(GXG) and Express Mail International (EMI). Overall, GXG prices will 
rise by 3.7 percent, and EMI will be subject to an overall 3.1 percent 
increase. Classification changes include the introduction of postage 
payment via permit indicia for GXG, the introduction of a legal-sized 
Express Mail International Flat Rate Envelope, seven new country groups 
for EMI, and the elimination of Express Mail Corporate Account 
published discounts, as well as

[[Page 73863]]

published discounts for users of Information-based Indicia (IBI) 
devices for both EMI and GXG. The elimination of the latter two 
services are necessary to create incentives for the use of electronic 
customs transmission. Return receipt service will also be eliminated as 
an option for EMI, as it is only available to a limited number of 
destinations. Finally, prices for EMI Flat Rate Envelopes would combine 
Mexico with the ``All Other Countries'' price tier.

B. Priority Mail International

    The overall increase for Priority Mail International (PMI) will be 
3.8 percent. The existing structure of PMI will remain the same. 
Classification changes include the introduction of several new flat 
rate options, seven new country price groups, and the elimination of 
published discounts for users of Information-based Indicia (IBI) 
devices.

C. International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift

    Published prices for the commercial international Shipping 
Services, which include International Priority Airmail (IPA) and 
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL), will have an overall increase of 
4.4 percent, with IPA prices increasing by 3.3 percent, and ISAL prices 
increasing by 6.4 percent. Prices for IPA and ISAL M-Bags will remain 
the same.

D. Airmail M-Bags

    The published prices for Airmail M-Bags will increase by 5.8 
percent.

E. International Ancillary Services

    Prices for paper money orders and EMI and PMI insurance will be 
increased. Classification changes include the elimination of the unique 
price tier for Canada when optional insurance is purchased for Priority 
Mail International parcels; previously, the fee for insurance to Canada 
was less. With this change, all insurance fees for Priority Mail 
International parcels will be the same.

Order

    The changes in prices and classes set forth herein shall be 
effective at 12:01 a.m. on January 2, 2011. We direct the Secretary to 
have this decision published in the Federal Register in accordance with 
39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2). We also direct management to file with the Postal 
Regulatory Commission appropriate notice of these changes.

By The Governors.

Louis J. Giuliano,
Chairman.

Retail Balloon Rate

    In Zones 1-4 (including local), parcels weighing less than 20 
pounds but measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth 
(but not more than 108 inches) are charged the applicable price for a 
20-pound parcel.

Retail Dimensional Weight

    In Zones 5-8, parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the 
actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
    For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is 
calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) 
times the height (inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 194.
    For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), 
the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length 
(inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the 
associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 194, and 
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Commercial Base Balloon Rate

    In Zones 1-4 (including local), parcels weighing less than 20 
pounds but measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth 
(but not more than 108 inches) are charged the applicable price for a 
20-pound parcel.

Commercial Base Dimensional Weight

    In Zones 5-8, parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the 
actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
    For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is 
calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) 
times the height (inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 194.
    For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), 
the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length 
(inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the 
associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 194, and 
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Commercial Plus Balloon Rate

    In Zones 1-4 (including local), parcels weighing less than 20 
pounds but measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth 
(but not more than 108 inches) are charged the applicable price for a 
20-pound parcel.

Commercial Plus Dimensional Weight

    In Zones 5-8, parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the 
actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
    For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is 
calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) 
times the height (inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 194.
    For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), 
the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length 
(inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the 
associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 194, and 
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

separately.\1\ Additional fees are charged if the developer wants to 
resell RDI-API.
