III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC staff has prepared this EA in 

support of the proposed action. On the

there are no significant environmental 

impacts from the proposed action, and 

that preparation of an environmental 

impact statement is not warranted. 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

that a Finding of No Significant Impact 

is appropriate.

1United States Postal Service Notice of MarketDominant Price Adjustment, August 11, 2009 

(Notice). The Postal Service also refers to the 

qualifying presorted pieces as non-parcel First-Class 

Mail. See, for example, Id. at 4. 

2This threshold is determined by computing the 

ratio of the October 1–December 31, 2008 nonparcel First-Class Mail presorted volume to the 

October 1–December 31, 2007 non-parcel FirstClass Mail presorted volume. The result is then 

multiplied by the company’s October 1–December 

31, 2008 non-parcel First-Class Mail presorted 

volume. Id. 

NRC staff guidance for reviewing and 

evaluating the safety, health, and 

environmental protection aspects of 

applications for licenses to possess and 

use SNM to produce nuclear reactor 

fuel. The licensing guidance revision is 

also intended to provide information 

needed to better risk-inform the 

preoperational readiness reviews. 

Specifically, items or features or aspects 

of the design identified during the 

licensing review as important, will be 

highlighted to verify compliance with 

specific commitments during the 

preoperational readiness reviews. 

The SRP has been updated to improve 

and enhance the guidance by providing 

increased clarity and definition in 

specific areas of the licensing program 

and adding additional guidance in areas 

where information was lacking or not 

suitably addressed. This effort was 

focused on improving both the clarity, 

and also consistency, of the SRP, with 

the Agency positions that support 

compliance with current regulations. In 

addition, this revision has been 

reformatted and reorganized to improve 

the consistency within the document.

Postal Service Price Changes 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document discusses the 

Commission’s establishment of a docket 

to a Postal Service request to adjust 

prices for a temporary First-Class Mail 

Incentive Program. 

DATES: Comments are due August 31, 

2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview 

II. Postal Service Filing 

III. Commission Action 

IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Overview 

On August 11, 2009, the Postal 

Service filed with the Commission a 

notice announcing its intention, 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3622 and 39 CFR 

part 3010, to adjust prices for certain 

First-Class Mail presorted letters, flats 

and cards sent by qualifying mailers.1

The Postal Service characterizes the 

planned adjustment as a temporary 

First-Class Mail Incentive Program 

(Program) to spur volume growth during 

the current recession. Key elements of 

the Program include a 20 percent rebate 

on qualifying incremental volume; 

certain volume thresholds; and a 3- 

month duration, extending from October 

1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Id. 

at 2–3. 

The Notice addresses plans for public 

notice; program description and 

administration; price cap compliance; 

statutory objectives and factors; 

workshare discounts; and impact on 

preferred rates. A schedule of the new 

temporary prices and conforming 

revisions to Mail Classification 

Schedule language appear in Appendix 

A to the Notice in compliance with 

Commission rules 3010.14(a)(1) and 

3010.14(b)(9). 

II. Postal Service Filing 

Program description. The Postal 

Service asserts that the proposed 

Program will give eligible companies a 

20 percent postage rebate on qualifying 

presort letter, flat and card volumes 

mailed between October 1, 2009 and 

December 31, 2009. Id. Qualifying 

volume is defined as a single company’s 

First-Class Mail volume over and above 

a predetermined threshold. Id. at 3. 

Eligibility; rebate threshold. To be 

eligible to participate in the Program, a 

company must have mailed 500,000 or 

more non-parcel First-Class Mail pieces 

between October 1 and December 31 in 

both 2007 and 2008 through companyowned permit accounts or through 

permits set up on the company’s behalf 

by a Mail Service Provider. Id. 

Participants must then exceed a 

company-specific threshold during 

October 1, 2009 through December 31, 

2009 to qualify for the incentive rebate.2

Incremental volume mailed by an 

eligible, participating company above 

the calculated threshold will earn a 20 

percent rebate. 

Rebate calculation; credit. The rebate 

will be calculated as the average 

revenue per piece for all eligible mail 

volume during the program period 

multiplied by the incremental volume 

above the threshold during the program 

period. It will be credited to the 

company’s permit trust account. Id. 

Program intent. The stated intent of 

the Program is to provide an incentive 

for customers to increase non-parcel 

First-Class Mail presorted volume above 

the volume they otherwise would have 

sent. To protect this core element of the 

Program, the Postal Service includes 

provisions to address the possibility of 

strategic shifting or withholding of 

volume. Id. at 4. 

Program administration. The Notice 

addresses several aspects of program 

administration, including methods for 

contacting eligible mailers; procedures 

for establishing company thresholds and 

crediting rebates to permit trust 

accounts; data collection and reporting 

(including filing some data under seal); 

financial impact; and risk. See generally 

id. at 4–8. 

Under the data collection plan, the 

Postal Service will submit Programrelated data to the Commission 90 days 

after the payment of incentive rebates. 

The Notice describes specific 

components of the plan, notes that some 

participant data will be filed under seal, 

and states that actual administrative 

costs will be identified. Id. at 6. 

With respect to the financial aspects 

of the Program, the Postal Service 

expects, based on the 20 percent rebate 

and the expressed interest of customers, 

a contribution increase of around $24 

million and a revenue increase, net of 

the 20 percent rebate, of $43 million. It 

anticipates new volume of about 103 

million pieces, which it says will 

generate about $31 million in additional 

revenue and $16 million in 

contribution. It also expects about 103 

million pieces to ‘‘buy up’’ from 

Standard Mail, providing an additional 

$12 million in revenue and $8 million 

in contribution. Id. at 7. Administrative 

costs are expected to total $809,000, and 

to be easily covered by the contribution 

generated from additional volume. Id. 

The Postal Service’s primary measure 

of success will be incremental revenue 

and volume growth over the threshold 

for participating customers, but 

qualitative aspects, such as the Postal
