41336 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 157 / Monday, August 17, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

1Notice of the United States Postal Service of 

Filing Two Functionally Equivalent Global Plus 1 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions which do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction because the 

rule creates two safety zones around 

submerged buoys and their associated 

infrastructure. An environmental 

analysis checklist and a categorical 

exclusion determination will be 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.

[Docket No. CP2009–46; Order No. 265] 

Global Plus 1 Contracts 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is making 

changes to the Competitive Product List, 

including adding a Global Plus 1 

contract. This is consistent with changes 

in a recent law governing postal 

operations. Republication of the lists of 

market dominant and competitive 

products is also consistent with 

requirements in the new law. 

DATES: Effective August 17, 2009 and is 

applicable beginning July 31, 2009.

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

The Postal Service proposes to add a 

specific Global Plus 1 contract to the 

Global Plus Contracts product 

established in Docket No. CP2008–8. 

For the reasons discussed below, the 

Commission approves the Postal 

Service’s proposal. 

II. Background 

On July 13, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a notice, pursuant to 39 CFR 

3015.5, announcing that it has entered 

into two additional Global Plus 1 

contracts, which it states fit within the 

previously established Global Plus 

Contracts product.1 The Postal Service

Contracts Negotiated Service Agreements, July 13, 

2009 (Notice). While the Notice was filed jointly in 

Docket Nos. CP2009–46 and CP2009–47, the 

Commission will address the issues in these 

dockets in separate orders. The Postal Service 

requests that the two contracts be included in the 

Global Plus 1 product, and ‘‘that they be considered 

the new ‘baseline’ contracts for future functional 

equivalency analyses...’’ Id. at 2.

5Public Representative Comments in Response to 

Order No. 249, July 23, 2009 (Public Representative 

Comments). The Public Representative’s comments 

jointly address the Postal Service’s filings in Docket 

Nos. CP2009–46 and CP2009–47. 

states that each contract is functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

Global Plus 1 contracts, are filed in 

accordance with Order No. 85, and are 

supported by Governors’ Decision No. 

08–8 filed in Docket No. CP2008–8.2

Notice at 1. 

The Notice also states that in Docket 

No. CP2008–8, the Governors 

established prices and classifications for 

competitive products not of general 

applicability for Global Plus Contracts.3

The Postal Service states that the instant 

contract is the immediate successor 

contract to Docket No. CP2008–9 which 

is to expire soon, which the 

Commission found to be functionally 

equivalent in Order No. 85. Id. at 2. 

The Postal Service contends that the 

instant contract should be included 

within the Global Plus 1 product on the 

Competitive Product List. Id. at 1. 

In support, the Postal Service has also 

filed a redacted version of each contract 

and related materials as Attachment 1– 

A. A redacted version of the certified 

statement required by 39 CFR 3015.5 is 

included as Attachment 2–A. The Postal 

Service requests that the instant contract 

‘‘be considered the new ‘baseline’ 

contract[s] for future functional 

equivalency analyses concerning this 

product.’’ Id. at 2. 

The Postal Service filed the instant 

contract pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. The 

contract becomes effective August 1, 

2009, unless regulatory reviews affect 

that date, and has a one-year term. 

The Postal Service maintains that 

certain portions of this contract and 

certified statement required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2), containing names and 

identifying information of the Global 

Plus 1 customer, related financial 

information, as well as the 

accompanying analyses that provide 

prices, terms, conditions, and financial 

projections should remain under seal. 

Id. at 3. 

The Postal Service asserts the contract 

is functionally equivalent with the 

contract filed in Docket No. CP2009–47 

because they share similar cost and 

market characteristics. It contends that 

they should be classified as a single 

product. Id. It states that while the 

existing contracts filed in Docket Nos. 

CP2008–9 and CP2008–10 exhibited 

minor distinctions, the new contracts 

are virtually identical to one another. Id. 

at 4. 

The Postal Service maintains these 

differences only add detail or amplify 

processes included in prior Global Plus 

1 contracts. It contends because the 

instant contract has the same cost 

attributes and methodology as well as 

similar cost and market characteristics 

the differences do not affect the 

fundamental service being offered or the 

essential structure of the contract. Id. at 

7–8. It states the contract is substantially 

similar both to the existing contract in 

Docket No. CP2008–9 and to the 

existing Global Plus 1 contracts and 

should be added to the Global Plus 1 

product. Id. at 8. 

In Order No. 249, the Commission 

gave notice of the docket, appointed a 

Public Representative, and provided the 

public with an opportunity to 

comment.4

On July 22, 2009, Chairman’s 

Information Request No. 1 (CHIR No. 1) 

was issued with responses due by July 

27, 2009. On July 24, 2009, the Postal 

Service provided its responses to CHIR 

No. 1. 

III. Comments 

Comments were filed by the Public 

Representative.5 No other interested 

parties submitted comments. The Public 

Representative states the individual 

contracts appear to satisfy the statutory 

criteria, but because of the timeframe to 

provide comments and information 

identified in CHIR No. 1, his response 

is not an unqualified recommendation 

in support of each contract’s approval. 

Id. at 2. He notes that relevant 

provisions of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633 and 

3642 appear to be met by these 

additional Global Plus 1 contracts. Id. 

The Public Representative states that he 

believes the contracts are functionally 

equivalent to the existing Global Plus 

Contracts product. He also determines 

that the Postal Service has provided 

greater transparency and accessibility in 

its filings. Id. at 3. 

The Public Representative notes that 

the general public benefits from the 

availability of these contracts in several 

ways: Well prepared international mail 

adds increased efficiency in the 

mailstream, enhanced volume results in 

timeliness in outbound shipments to all 

countries including those with small 

volume, and the addition of shipping 

options may result in expansion of mail 

volumes, particularly with the 

incentives for Postal Qualified Mailers 

(PQMs) and increased efficiency in 

existing postal capacity. Id. at 4–5. 

Finally, he discusses the need for selfcontained docket filings. In particular, 

he notes that the instant contract relies 

on data from the most recent 

International Cost and Revenue 

Analysis (ICRA), which was filed under 

seal in another docket. He suggests that 

the Postal Service should identify the 

location of the ICRA utilized and cited 

in that docket. Id. at 6. 

IV. Commission Analysis 

The Postal Service proposes to add an 

additional contract under the Global 

Plus Contracts product that was created 

in Docket No. CP2008–8. As filed, this 

docket presents two issues for the 

Commission to consider: (1) Whether 

the contract satisfies 39 U.S.C. 3633, 

and (2) whether the contract is 

functionally equivalent to previously 

reviewed Global Plus 1 contracts. In 

reaching its conclusions, the 

Commission has reviewed the Notice, 

the contract and the financial analyses 

provided under seal, supplemental 

information, and the Public 

Representative’s comments. 

Statutory requirements. The Postal 

Service contends that the instant 

contract and supporting documents 

filed in this docket establish compliance 

with the statutory provisions applicable 

to rates for competitive products (39 

U.S.C. 3633). Notice at 2. J. Ron Poland, 

Manager, Statistical Programs, Finance 

Department asserts Governors’ Decision 

No. 08–8 for Global Plus Contracts 

establishes price floor and ceiling 

formulas issued on May 28, 2008. He 

certifies that the pricing in the instant 

contract meets the Governors’ pricing 

formula and meets the criteria of 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a)(1), (2) and (3). He further 

states that the prices demonstrate that 

the contract and the included ancillary 

services should cover their attributable 

costs, preclude the subsidization of 

competitive products by market 

dominant products, and should not 

impair the ability of competitive 

products on the whole to cover an 

appropriate share of institutional costs. 

Id., Attachment 2–A. 

For his part, the Public Representative 

indicates that the contract appears to 

satisfy 39 U.S.C. 3633. Public 

Representative Comments at 1–3. 

Based on the review of the data 

submitted, including the supplemental 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
41338 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 157 / Monday, August 17, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

information, the Commission finds that 

the contract should cover its attributable 

costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not 

lead to the subsidization of competitive 

products by market dominant products 

(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have 

a positive effect on competitive 

products’ contribution to institutional 

costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an 

initial review of the contract indicates 

that it comports with the provisions 

applicable to rates for competitive 

products. 

Functional equivalence. The Postal 

Service asserts that the instant contract 

is functionally equivalent to the contract 

filed in the companion proceeding, 

Docket No. CP2009–47, as well as with 

Global Plus 1 contracts filed previously 

because they share similar cost and 

market characteristics. Notice at 4. The 

Postal Service states that the customers 

under the existing and proposed 

contracts are the same. In addition, it 

notes that existing contracts exhibited 

some differences, the contracts 

proposed in Docket No. CP2009–46 and 

CP2009–47 are virtually identical. Id. 

Having reviewed the contracts filed in 

the instant proceeding and in Docket 

No. CP2009–47, and the Postal Service’s 

justification, the Commission finds that 

the two contracts may be treated as 

functionally equivalent. 

New baseline. The Postal Service 

requests that the contracts filed in 

Docket Nos. CP2009–46 and 2009–47 be 

included in the Global Plus 1 product 

and ‘‘considered the new ‘baseline’ 

contracts for purposes of future 

functional equivalency analyses 

concerning this product.’’ Notice at 2. 

Currently, the Global Plus 1 product 

consists of two existing contracts that 

will be superseded by the contracts in 

Docket Nos. CP2009–46 and CP2009–47. 

Under those circumstances, the new 

contracts need not be designated as a 

new product. Accordingly, the new 

contracts in Docket Nos. CP2009–46 and 

CP2009–47 will be included in the 

Global Plus 1 product and become the 

‘‘baseline’’ for future functional 

equivalency analyses regarding that 

product. 

Self-contained docket filings. The 

Public Representative reiterates a point 

made in Order No. 247 regarding the 

need for self-contained docket filings. In 

particular, he points to the difficulty in 

obtaining IRCA data relied on to support 

the instant contract but filed under seal 

in another docket. He suggests that 

‘‘filings that reference the ICRA should 

include a pointer to the location of the 

ICRA utilized and cited in that docket.’’ 

Public Representative Comments at 6. 

The Public Representative point is 

well taken. The Commission does not 

wish to burden the Postal Service with 

extraneous filing requirements, nor does 

it intend for the process of reviewing 

Postal Service filings to become 

labyrinthine. Recognizing that Postal 

Service filings are electronic, the 

Commission will adopt the following 

policy: 1. The redacted Governors’ 

Decision on which the contract is based 

should be included with the filing; 2. an 

html link should be provided to the 

document filed by the Postal Service 

that notices that the unredacted 

Governors’ Decision is being filed under 

seal; and 3. all other confidential data 

relied on to support the specific contract 

should be filed in the docket in which 

that specific contract is filed. 

Other considerations. If the agreement 

terminates earlier than anticipated, the 

Postal Service shall promptly inform the 

Commission of the new termination 

date. 

In conclusion, the Commission finds 

that the negotiated service agreement 

submitted in Docket No. CP2009–46 is 

appropriately included within the 

Global Plus Contracts product. 

V. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. The contract filed in Docket No. 

CP2009–46 is included within the 

Global Plus 1 product (CP2008–8 and 

CP2009–46). 

2. The existing Global Plus 1 product 

(CP2008–9 and CP2008–10) is removed 

from the product list. 

3. As discussed in the body of this 

order, future contract filings which rely 

on materials filed under seal in other 

dockets should be self-contained. 

4. The Postal Service shall notify the 

Commission if the termination date 

changes as discussed in this order.

I. Background 

On August 1, 2007 (see 72 FR 48196), 

we published a limited approval and 

limited disapproval of Pinal County 

Rules 4–2–020, 4–2–030, 4–2–040, and 

4–2–050 as adopted locally on June 29, 

1993 and submitted by the State on 

November 27, 1995. We based our 

limited disapproval action on certain 

deficiencies in the submittal. This 

disapproval action started a sanctions 

clock for imposition of offset sanctions 

18 months after August 31, 2007 and 

highway sanctions 6 months later, 

pursuant to section 179 of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) and our regulations at 40 

CFR 52.31. 

To correct the deficiencies identified 

in our August 1, 2007 final rule, Pinal 

County made the following changes to 

their regulations: On December 4, 2002, 

Pinal County amended Rules 4–2–020 

and 4–2–030 and codified these changes 

on January 7, 2009; on January 7, 2009, 

Pinal County adopted Rule 2–8–320; 

and, on June 3, 2009, Pinal County 

adopted Rules 4–4, 4–7, 4–9 and 

amendments to Rule 4–5. On June 12, 

2009, the State submitted these 

revisions to EPA. In the Proposed Rules 

section of today’s Federal Register, we 

have proposed approval of this 

submittal because we believe it corrects 

the deficiencies identified in our August 

1, 2007 disapproval action. Based on 

today’s proposed approval, we are 

taking this final rulemaking action, 

effective on publication, to stay and 

defer imposition of sanctions that were 

triggered by our August 1, 2007 limited 

disapproval. 

EPA is providing the public with an 

opportunity to comment on this stay 

and deferral of sanctions. If comments 

are submitted that change our 

assessment described in this final 

determination and the proposed full 

approval of new and revised Pinal 

County rules, we intend to take 

subsequent final action to reimpose
