III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 

CFR 3020.30 et seq., the Postal Service 

filed a formal request and associated 

supporting information to add Express 

Mail Contract 11 to the competitive 

product list.1 The Postal Service asserts 

that Express Mail Contract 11 is a 

competitive product ‘‘not of general 

applicability’’ within the meaning of 39 

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

Postal Service states that the prices and 

classification underlying this contract 

are supported by Governors’ Decision 

No. 09–14 in Docket Nos. MC2010–5 

and CP2010–5. Id. The Request has been 

assigned Docket No. MC2011–14. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 

CFR 3015.5. The contract has been 

assigned Docket No. CP2011–50. 

Request. In support of its Request, the 

Postal Service filed six attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachment A—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 09–14, 

originally filed in Docket Nos. MC2010– 

5 and CP2010–5, authorizing certain 

Express Mail contracts; 

• Attachment B—a redacted copy of 

the contract; 

• Attachment C—a proposed change 

in the Mail Classification Schedule 

competitive product list; 

• 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 and supporting documents 

under seal. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Josen Punnoose, Manager, 

Shipping Support (A), Shipping 

Services, asserts that the service to be 

provided under the contract will cover 

its attributable costs, make a positive 

contribution to institutional costs, and 

increase contribution toward the 

requisite 5.5 percent of the Postal 

Service’s total institutional costs. Id., 

Attachment D. Thus, Mr. Punnoose 

contends there will be no issue of 

market dominant products subsidizing 

competitive products as a result of this 

contract. Id. 

Related contract. A redacted version 

of the specific Express Mail Contract 11 

is included with the Request. Id., 

Attachment B. The contract will become 

effective the day after the Commission 

provides all necessary regulatory 

approvals. Id., Attachment B, at 3. The 

contract will expire 5 years from the 

effective date unless, among other 

things, either party terminates the 

agreement upon 30 days’ written notice 

to the other party. Id. 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 

specific Express Mail Contract 11, under 

seal. Id., Attachment F. It maintains that 

the contract, customer-identifying 

information, and related financial 

information, including the 

accompanying analyses that provide 

prices, terms, conditions, cost data, and 

financial projections, should remain 

under seal. Id., Attachment F, at 2–3. It 

also requests that the Commission order 

all customer-identifying information to 

remain under seal indefinitely, instead 

of ending after 10 years. Id., Attachment 

F, at 7. 

II. Notice of Filings

Nos. MC2011–14 and CP2011–50 for

11 product and the related contract,
