of the proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘noaction’’ alternative). Denial of the 

exemption request would result in no 

change in current environmental 

impacts. If the proposed action was 

denied, the licensee would have to 

comply with the March 31, 2010, 

implementation deadline. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

exemption and the ‘‘no action’’ 

alternative are similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

considered in the Final Environmental 

Statement for the Virgil C. Summer 

Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1, NUREG– 

0719, dated May 1981 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML072750234) and the 

Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants, NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 15, dated February 2004 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML040540718). 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on December 17, 2009, the NRC staff 

consulted with the South Carolina State 

official, Ms. Susan Jenkins of the South 

Carolina Department of Health and 

Environmental Control, regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. The State official had no 

comments. 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

On the basis of the environmental 

assessment, the NRC concludes that the 

proposed action will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

For further details with respect to the 

proposed action, see the licensee’s letter 

dated December 11, 2009 (RC–09–0154). 

The licensee’s letter RC–09–0148, dated 

December 11, 2009 contains securityrelated information and, accordingly, is 

not available to the public pursuant to 

10 CFR 2.390. The licensee’s letter RC– 

09–0154 may be examined, and/or 

copied for a fee, at the NRC’s Public 

Document Room (PDR), located at One 

White Flint North, Public File Area O–

Rockville, Maryland 20852. Publicly

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

Table of Contents 

I. Introduction 

On February 18, 2010, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

has entered into an additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2) 

contract.1 The Postal Service believes 

the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

GEPS 2 contracts, and is supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1, 

Attachment 2. The Notice also explains 

that Order No. 86, which established 

GEPS 1 as a product, also authorized 

functionally equivalent agreements to be 

included within the product, provided 

that they meet the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1. In Order No. 290, 

the Commission approved the GEPS 2 

product.2

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contract 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that the 

contract is in accordance with Order No. 

86. The Postal Service submitted the 

contract and supporting materials under 

seal along with an application for nonpublic treatment as Attachment 1, and 

attached a redacted copy of the contract 

and a certified statement required by 39 

CFR 3015.5(c)(2) to the Notice as 

Attachments 3 and 4, respectively. Id. at 

1–2. The term of the contract is 1 year 

from the date the Postal Service notifies 

the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. 

The Notice advances reasons why the 

instant GEPS 2 contract fits within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS 2. The Postal Service contends 

that the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to the GEPS 2 contracts filed 

previously, despite minor differences in 

both the general language and for 

customer-specific information, all of 

which are highlighted in the Notice. Id. 

at 3–7. 

The Postal Service contends that 

several factors demonstrate the 

contract’s functional equivalence with 

previous GEPS 2 contracts, including 

the general terms of the contract, the 

market to which it is being offered, and 

its cost characteristics. Id. at 3. The 

Postal Service concludes that because 

the ‘‘GEPS agreements incorporate the 

same cost attributes and methodology, 

the relevant cost and market 

characteristics are similar, if not the 

same...’’ despite any incidental 

differences. Id. at 6. 

The Postal Service contends that its 

filings demonstrate that this new GEPS 

2 contract is established in compliance 

with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, 

is functionally equivalent to previous 

GEPS 2 contracts, and requests that this 

contract be included within the GEPS 2 

product. Id. at 7.
