SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Background 

On December 23, 2009, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

has entered into an additional Global 

Direct Contracts 1 agreement.1 Global 

Direct Contracts 1 provide a rate for 

mail acceptance within the United 

States and transportation to a receiving 

country, with the addition by the 

customer of appropriate foreign indicia, 

and payment by the Postal Service of 

the appropriate settlement charges to 

the receiving country. The Postal 

Service believes the instant agreement is 

functionally equivalent to previously 

submitted Global Direct Contracts 1 

agreements, and supported by the 

Governors’ Decision filed in Docket No. 

MC2008–7.2 The Postal Service 

contends that the instant agreement 

should be included within the Global 

Direct Contracts 1 product. Id. at 2. 

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed the instant agreement 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that the 

agreement is in accordance with PRC 

Order No. 153.3 Id. It submitted the 

contract and supporting material under 

seal, and attached the following: 

1. Attachment 1—a redacted copy of 

the contract; 

2. Attachment 2—a certified statement 

required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2); 

3. Attachment 3—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain the contract and supporting 

documents under seal; and 

4. Attachment 4—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–10, which 

establishes prices and classifications for 

Global Direct, Global Bulk Economy, 

and Global Plus Contracts. 

The Postal Service will notify the 

customer of the effective date of the 

contract, which is the immediate 

successor of the Global Direct contract 

at issue in Docket No. CP2009–18, 

within 30 days after receiving all 

regulatory approvals.4 Notice at 2–3. To 

that end, the Postal Service also 

explains that a redacted version of the 

supporting financial documentation is 

included with this filing as a separate 

Excel file. Id. at 2. 

The Notice identifies the instant 

agreement as fitting within the Mail 

Classification Schedule language for 

Global Direct Contracts, and indicates 

that this agreement is set to replace the 

one expiring soon.5 The Notice also 

provides the Postal Service’s rationale 

for concluding that the instant contract 

is functionally equivalent to the 

concurrently proposed new baseline 

contract filed in Docket Nos. CP2010–17 

and CP2010–18. Id. The Postal Service 

submits that the instant contract and the 

proposed new baseline contract share 

similar cost and market characteristics 

with only a minor difference while the 

‘‘core terms and conditions remain the 

same.’’ Id. Unlike the proposed new 

baseline contract, the present contract 

‘‘allows the customer to tender items 

that meet the requirements for Canada 

Post’s domestic Ad Mail service, in 

addition to the types of Canada Post 

items covered by the contract in Docket 

Nos. MC2010–17 and CP2010–18.’’ Id. 

This kind of distinction, it adds, has not 

precluded functionally equivalent 

treatment in the past. Id. at 3, n.6, citing 

PRC Order No. 166. Thus, it concludes 

that ‘‘this contract should be added to 

the existing Global Direct Contracts 1 

product.’’ Id. at 4. 

II. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. CP2010–19 for consideration of 

matters related to the agreement 

identified in the Postal Service’s Notice. 

Interested persons may submit

Service’s agreement is consistent with 

the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or

January 6, 2010. The public portions of 

these filings can be accessed via the
