I. Introduction 

On June 17, 2015, the Postal Service 

filed a petition pursuant to 39 CFR 

3050.11 requesting that the Commission 

initiate an informal rulemaking 

proceeding to consider changes to 

analytical principles relating to periodic 

reports.1 Proposal Two is attached to the 

Petition and identifies the proposed 

analytical method change as a change 

for a unified International Cost and 

Revenue Analysis Report (ICRA). Id. 

Attachment at 1. The Postal Service 

concurrently filed a nonpublic library 

reference, along with an application for 

nonpublic treatment.2

II. Summary of Proposal 

The Postal Service proposes replacing 

the traditional imputed and booked 

versions of the ICRA report with a 

single, unified version. Petition, 

Attachment at 1. The booked version 

reflects the cost of settlement payments 

as reported in the Postal Service’s 

financial statements. Id. at 1–2. The 

imputed version reflects the costs of 

settlement payments estimated from the 

known settlement rate for each country 

multiplied by the known units (number 

of pieces or pounds of mail or both, 

depending on the formula application 

for each county). Id. at 1. Two versions 

of the ICRA were previously necessary 

because of the lag time between actual 

mail flows and settlement transactions 

between the Postal Service and foreign 

postal administrators. Id. 

The Postal Service, however, explains 

that the majority of the settlement 

payment timing delay was eliminated in 

fiscal year 2012 with the 

implementation of the Foreign Payment 

System for inbound revenue. Id. at 2. 

The Postal Service states that this 

proposal will allow it to report financial 

results for international mail in a 

unified ICRA, in a manner consistent 

with the Revenue, Pieces and Weight 

report and the Postal Service’s financial 

statements. Id. at 2. 

The Postal Service states that the 

impact of this proposal is very small. Id. 

at 3. By way of an example, the Postal 

Service states that for each of the last 

three fiscal years, the differences in both 

total cost and total revenue between the 

imputed and booked versions have been 

one percent or less. Id. In addition, the 

Postal Service states that producing a 

unified ICRA will streamline its 

production process and reduce the 

number of items the Commission must 

review. Id. Moreover, the Postal Service 

explains that a unified ICRA will 

eliminate the need to distinguish 

between versions under discussion, 

thereby avoiding confusion. Id. 

III. Initial Commission Action 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. RM2015–10 for consideration of 

matters raised by the Petition. 

Additional information concerning the 

Petition may be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site at http://

Proposal Two no later than July 30,

(Public Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in this 

proceeding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and public 

comments will be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. Please note 

that if EPA receives adverse comment 

on an amendment, paragraph, or section 

of this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. For additional 

information, see the direct final rule 

which is located in the Rules section of 

this Federal Register.
