SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On September 25, 2009, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

has entered into an additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2) 

contract.1 GEPS 2 provides volumebased incentives for mailers that send 

large volumes of Express Mail 

International (EMI) and/or Priority Mail 

International (PMI). The Postal Service 

believes the instant contract is 

functionally equivalent to the 

previously submitted GEPS 2 contracts 

and is supported by the Governors’ 

Decision filed in Docket No. CP2008– 

4.2 Id. at 1. 

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. 

290.3 The term of the instant contract is 

one year beginning October 1, 2009.4

Notice at 2. 

In support of its Notice, the Postal 

Service filed four attachments as 

follows: 

1. Attachment 1—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain the contract and supporting 

documents under seal; 

2. Attachment 2—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7 which 

establishes prices and classifications for 

GEPS contracts, a description of 

applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for 

prices, an analysis and certification of 

the formulas and certification of the 

Governors’ vote; 

3. Attachment 3—a redacted copy of 

the contract, applicable annexes, and a 

provision to modify the mailer’s tender 

requirements; and 

4. Attachment 4—a certified 

statement required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2). 

Functional equivalency. The Postal 

Service asserts that the instant contract 

is functionally equivalent to the contract 

in Docket No. CP2009–50 and prior 

GEPS 2 contracts. Id. at 3–4. It also 

contends that the instant contract meets 

the requirements of Governors’ Decision 

No. 08–7 for rates for GEPS contracts. 

Id. at 3. The Postal Service states that 

the basic difference between the 

contract in Docket No. CP2009–50 and 

the instant contract is customer-specific 

information including the customer’s 

name, address, representative to receive 

notices, identity of the signatory, and 

provisions clarifying tender locations, 

minimum revenue and/or volume 

requirements, and liquidated damages. 

Id. at 3–4. The Postal Service contends 

that the instant contract satisfies the 

pricing formula and classification 

system established in Governors’ 

Decision No. 08–7. Id. at 3. It asserts 

that the instant contract and all GEPS 2 

contracts have similar cost and market 

characteristics and is functionally 

equivalent in all relevant aspects. Id. at 

4. The Postal Service concludes that this 

contract is in compliance with 39 U.S.C. 

3633, and requests that this contract be 

included within the GEPS 2 product. Id. 

II. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. CP2009–66 for consideration of 

matters related to the contract identified

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, Washington, 

DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 15c3–1, OMB Control No. 3235–0200, 

SEC File No. 270–197. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

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

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 15c3–1 (17 CFR 240.15c3–1) 

under the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) requires 

brokers and dealers to have at all times 

sufficient liquid assets to meet their 

current liabilities, particularly the 

claims of customers. The rule facilitates 

monitoring the financial condition of 

brokers and dealers by the Commission 

and the various self-regulatory 

organizations. It is estimated that the 

active broker-dealer respondents 

registered with the Commission incur 

an aggregate burden of 73,300 hours per 

year to comply with this rule. 

Please note that an agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. 

Comments should be directed to: (i) 

Desk Officer for the Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Room 10102, New Executive Office 

Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by 

sending an e-mail to: 

Shagufta_Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) 

Charles Boucher, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send an 

e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted within 30 

days of this notice. 

Dated: September 30, 2009.

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 17f–1(b), OMB Control No. 3235– 

0032; SEC File No. 270–28. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

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

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for approval of extension of the 

existing collection of information 

provided for in the following rule: Rule 

17f–1(b) (17 CFR 240.17f–1(b)) under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Rule 17f–1(b) under the Exchange Act 

requires approximately 26,000 entities 

in the securities industry to register in 

the Lost and Stolen Securities Program 

(‘‘Program’’). Registration fulfills a 

statutory requirement that entities 

report and inquire about missing, lost, 

counterfeit, or stolen securities. 

Registration also allows entities in the 

securities industry to gain access to a 

confidential database that stores 

information for the Program. 

We estimate that 1,000 new entities 

will register in the Program each year. 

The staff estimates that the average 

number of hours necessary to comply 

with the Rule 17f–1(b) is one-half hour. 

The total burden is therefore 500 hours 

(1,000 times one-half) annually for all 

participants.
