1Notice of the United States Postal Service of 

Filing of Changes in Rates Not of General 

Applicability, July 28, 2009 (Notice). 

2See PRC Order No. 162, Docket Nos. MC2009– 

10, CP2009–12, Order Adding Inbound 

International Expedited Services 2 To Competitive 

Product List, December 31, 2008. 

since this action is for a name change 

only that (1) there is a reasonable 

assurance that the health and safety of 

the public will not be endangered by 

operation in the proposed manner, (2) 

such activities will be conducted in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

regulations, and (3) the issuance of the 

amendments will not be inimical to the 

common defense and security or to the 

health and safety of the public. 

The details of the staff’s safety 

evaluation will be provided in the 

license amendment that will be issued 

as part of the letter to the licensee 

approving the license amendment. 

The proposed action will not 

significantly increase the probability or 

consequences of accidents. No changes 

are being made in the types of effluents 

that may be released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in the amount of 

any effluent released offsite. There is no 

significant increase in individual or 

cumulative occupational radiation 

exposure. Therefore, there are no 

significant radiological environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

With regard to potential nonradiological impacts, the proposed 

action does not have a potential to affect 

any historic sites. It does not affect nonradiological plant effluents and has no 

other environmental impact. Therefore, 

there are no significant non-radiological 

environmental impacts associated with 

the proposed action. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the staff considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the application 

would result in no change in current 

environmental impacts. The 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action and the alternative action are 

similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

The action does not involve the use of 

any different resources than those 

previously considered in the Final 

Environmental Statement for the 

Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1, NUREG– 

0895, dated December 1982. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on July 16, 2009, the staff consulted 

with the New Hampshire and 

Massachusetts State officials, Messrs. M. 

Nawoj and J. Giarrusso, respectively, 

regarding the environmental impact of 

the proposed action. Neither State 

official had any 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 April 16, 2009. Documents 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 O1 F21, 11555

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

II. Background 

III. Notice of Filing 

IV. Supplemental Information 

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On July 28, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a notice announcing changes in 

rates not of general applicability for 

Inbound International Expedited 

Services 2 effective January 1, 2010.1

The Postal Service attached a redacted 

copy of the 2010 rates and a certified 

statement establishing compliance with 

39 U.S.C. 3633 and 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) 

to the Notice as Attachments 1 and 2, 

respectively. Id. at 2. The Postal Service 

also submitted a listing of countries in 

each pricing tier and incorporated by 

reference the description of Inbound 

International Expedited Services 2 

contained in its supporting 

documentation filed in Docket Nos. 

MC2009–10 and CP2009–12. The Postal 

Service submitted the rates, related 

financial information, and certified 

statement required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2) under seal. 

II. Background 

The Notice states that in Docket No. 

MC2009–10, the Governors established 

prices and classifications not of general 

applicability for Inbound Express Mail 

International (EMS). In Order No. 162, 

the Commission added Inbound 

International Expedited Services 2 to 

the Competitive Product List as a new 

product under Express Mail, Inbound 

International Expedited Services.2 The 

rates took effect on January 1, 2009. 

In accordance with the provisions of 

the EMS Cooperative of the Universal 

Postal Union (UPU), rates for the 

delivery of inbound Express Mail 

International must be communicated to 

the UPU by August 31 of the year before 

which they are to take effect. As a 

member of the EMS Cooperative, the 

Postal Service may not change its rates 

for the coming year after August 31. In 

Order No. 162, the Commission raised 

concerns with filing these rates with the 


rmajette on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 152 / Monday, August 10, 2009 / Notices 39981 

1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 

2 15 U.S.C. 78a. 

3 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 

Commission after August 31, even 

though they do not take effect until 

January 1 of the following year. The 

Commission indicated that if a product 

is found to violate the Postal 

Accountability and Enhancement Act 

(PAEA), e.g., does not satisfy section 

3633(a)(2), the Postal Service may be 

without a suitable remedy until the rate 

change is permitted for the following 

year. Id. at 9. The Commission, 

therefore, appreciates the Postal 

Service’s filing the 2010 rates well in 

advance of the August 31, 2009 UPU 

deadline. 

In its Notice, the Postal Service 

indicates that the rates to take effect in 

2010 are divided into two tiers. Tier one 

applies to postal operators with a 

performance-level agreement, such as 

EMS Pay-for-performance Plan 

participants and Kahala Posts Group. 

Tier two applies to all other postal 

operators that transmit EMS to the 

United States. Notice at 2–3. The Postal 

Service provided a listing of countries 

in each tier, noting that this list may be 

subject to change on January 1, 2010. 

Id.; Attachment 3. 

The Postal Service states that the 

China Post Group, whose inbound EMS 

rates were established by a bilateral 

agreement approved by the Commission 

in Docket Nos. CP2008–6 and CP2008– 

7, is expected to join Tier 1 grouping. 

Id. at 3. The parties have agreed to have 

the bilateral agreement expire at the end 

of the one-year term. Id. at 3. 

The Postal Service maintains that the 

rates, related financial information, and 

certain portions of the certified 

statement required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2), should remain under seal. 

Id. at 4. 

III. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. CP2009–57 for consideration of 

matters related to the issues identified 

in the Postal Service’s Notice. 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Postal 

Service’s contract is consistent with the 

policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3622 or 3642. 

Comments are due no later than August 

12, 2009. The public portions of these 

filings can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Paul L. 

Harrington as Public Representative in 

this proceeding. 

IV. Supplemental Information 

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.6, the 

Commission requests the Postal Service 

to provide the following supplemental 

information by no later than August 10, 

2009: 

1. Please provide the 2010 EMS Pay 

for Performance Plan that will apply to 

EMS Cooperative members. 

2. Please provide the Postal Service’s 

EMS Cooperative Report Cards, 

including performance measurements, 

for calendar year 2008 and the first three 

quarters of 2009, if available. 

3. In Excel file 

WP_Inbound_EMS_2009.07.28, 

worksheet 02_Narrative, cell C107, the 

Postal Service makes an assumption 

about arrival scan performance. Please 

explain this assumption further, its 

rationale, and how its application 

comports with the provisions of the 

2010 EMS Pay for Performance Plan and 

the Postal Service’s performance. 

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission establishes Docket 

No. CP2009–57 for consideration of the 

issues raised in this docket. 

2. Comments by interested persons in 

these proceedings are due no later than
