                    On August 13, 2018, the Postal Service filed notice announcing its intention to change prices not of general applicability for a certain portion of its Inbound Parcel Post (at Universal Postal Union (UPU) Rates) product effective January 1, 2019.[1] 

## II. Contents of Filing

                    In its Notice, the Postal Service proposes new prices for the UPU e-commerce delivery option (ECOMPRO). Notice at 2. ECOMPRO allows designated postal operators of UPU member countries, including the Postal Service, to mutually consent to certain delivery options pursuant to UPU regulations for air parcel exchanges.[2]                                          To support its proposed ECOMPRO prices, the Postal Service filed a redacted version of the proposed prices; a copy of the certification required under 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); and redacted copies of Governors' Decisions 14-04 and 11-6. Notice at 4;                     *see id.*                     Attachments 2-5. The Postal Service also filed redacted financial workpapers. Notice at 4.                

                    Additionally, the Postal Service filed unredacted copies of Governors' Decisions 14-04 and 11-6, an unredacted copy of the new prices, and related financial information under seal.                     *See id.*                     at 4. The Postal Service filed an application for non-public treatment of materials filed under seal. Notice, Attachment 1.
