I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

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 Parcel 

Select Contract 1 to the competitive 

product list.1 The Postal Service states 

that ‘‘[t]he product is for the licensing 

and distribution of the ‘Sample 

Showcase’ co-op box,’’ which is similar 

to the Samples Co-op Box being tested 

by the Postal Service as an experimental 

product in Docket No. MT2010–1.2

The Postal Service will license the use 

of the Sample Showcase box and 

associated trademarks to StartSampling, 

Inc., a provider of sample-related 

services. Request, Attachment B at 1. 

StartSampling, Inc. will fund and 

manage all aspects of distributing the 

Sample Showcase box, including 

marketing, assembling, and tendering 

the box for delivery by the Postal 

Service. Id. at 1, 3. StartSampling, Inc. 

will pay the Postal Service a portion of 

all revenue exceeding a certain amount 

that is derived from the boxes. Id. at 8. 

The Postal Service asserts that Parcel 

Select Contract 1 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. 10–8, included as Attachment A to 

the Request.3 The Request has been 

assigned Docket No. MC2011–16. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product. 

Request, Attachment B. The contract has 

been assigned Docket No. CP2011–53. 

Request. In support of its Request, the 

Postal Service filed six attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachment A—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 10–8 

establishing prices and classification for 

Parcel Select Service and a certification 

of the Governors’ vote; 

• 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. 

As submitted, Attachment E is 

incomplete as it does not include the 

certification of compliance with 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a)(1) and (3).4 To complete 

its Request, the Postal Service shall file 

the appropriate certification of 

compliance no later than January 4, 

2011. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Marc D. McCrery, 

Manager, Specialty Shipping, 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. Request, Attachment 

D. Thus, Mr. McCrery 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 Parcel Select Contract 1 

is included with the Request. Id., 

Attachment B. The contract will become 

effective on the date of any final 

regulatory approvals. Id. at 1. The 

public version of the contract redacts 

the terms of the agreement, but lists 

provisions enabling either party to 

terminate with or without cause. See id. 

at 11–13. 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 Parcel Select Contract 1, under 

seal. Id., Attachment F. It maintains that 

redacted portions of the contract, 

Governors’ Decision No. 10–8, and 

related financial information, should 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
396 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 2 / Tuesday, January 4, 2011 / Notices 

remain confidential. Id. at 2. This 

information includes the price structure 

and terms, expected profit, underlying 

costs and assumptions, cost coverage 

projections, and customer-related 

information. Id. at 2–3.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities

states three main principles: First, that 

a broker-dealer is prohibited from 

commingling the securities of different 

customers as collateral for a loan 

without the consent of each customer; 

second, that a broker-dealer cannot 

commingle customers’ securities with 

its own securities under the same 

pledge; and third, that a broker-dealer 

can only pledge its customers’ securities 

to the extent that customers are in debt
