POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION 

[Docket No. MC2007–2; Order No. 9] 

Repositionable Notes Minor 

Classification Change 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice and order. 

SUMMARY: This document establishes a 

formal docket to consider extending the 

provisional Repositionable Notes (RPN) 

service by one year. Shortly before the 

expiration date, the Postal Service filed 

a request seeking to maintain the status 

quo to allow time to determine how 

RPNs may be affected by the recent 

implementation of the Postal 

Accountability and Enhancement Act 

(PAEA). This document describes the 

requested change and identifies several 

initial procedural steps, including 

authorization of settlement negotiations. 

DATES: April 20, 2007: Deadline for 

intervention, responses to request for 

consideration under rule 69, comments 

on suspension of this docket, answers to 

Conditional Motion for Waiver, and 

comments on appropriateness of 

authorizing settlement procedures. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at http:// 

www.prc.gov.

Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory History 

71 FR 3894 (January 24, 2006). 

I. Background 

Under the terms of the Domestic Mail 

Classification Schedule (DMCS), 

provisional Repositionable Notes (RPN) 

service expires April 3, 2007, barring 

the Service’s filing of a request to 

continue to test the service or to make 

it a permanent offering. See DMCS 

221.336(a). Notice is hereby given that 

on April 2, 2007, the Postal Service filed 

with the Commission a Request, along 

with related pleadings, that tolls the 

scheduled expiration date by seeking 

establishment of a docket to consider a 

change which would extend expiration 

by one year, to April 2, 2008.1

The instant Request was filed 

pursuant to section 3623 of the Postal 

Reorganization Act, 39 U.S.C. 101 et 

seq. The Request identifies with 

specificity the requested change in the 

expiration date in affected DMCS 

classification provisions and in the 

associated rates specified in certain rate 

schedules. Related concurrent filings 

include the Direct Testimony of 

Broderick A. Parr (USPS–T–1); a 

separate Notice addressing, among other 

things, the Service’s interest in 

settlement; and a pleading including a 

Conditional Motion for Waiver.2

The Service also suggests, in the 

alternative, that suspension of the 

docket might be appropriate. Request at 

1–2. The rationale for this suggestion is 

the Service’s belief that it might be 

advisable to wait until PAEA 

implementation matures sufficiently to 

illuminate other options for moving 

forward or until the Service files 

another request involving RPNs. Id. at 2. 

The Service asserts that the requested 

change conforms with the criteria of 39 

U.S.C. 3623(c), and will further the 

general policies of efficient postal 

operations and reasonable rates and fees 

enunciated in the Postal Reorganization 

Act. Id. It states the requested change is 

intended to maintain status quo ante 

and avoid disruption for mailers 

currently using RPN service and those 

that may be considering such use. 

II. Application of Expedited Rules 

Rationale for filing under rules for 

expedited minor classification cases. 

The Postal Service denominates its 

request as a minor classification change,
