I. Introduction II. Notice of Filing III. Ordering Paragraphs

I. Introduction

On December 28, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing that it intends to enter into an additional Global Reseller Expedited Package (GREP) contract. 1 The Postal Service noted that:

Although both parties have yet to sign the agreement filed in this docket, the course of negotiations and the timing of this filing in relation to other filings have led the Postal Service to submit the agreement in its present state. The agreement is expected to be executed soon. The Postal Service will supplement this filing once the agreement is executed, and will advise of any substantive changes to the text.

Notice at 1 n.2. The Postal Service filed the executed contract on December 29,
2010. 2 The Postal Service believes that the instant contract is functionally equivalent to the previously submitted GREP contract, and is supported by Governors’ Decision No. 10–1, attached to the Notice and originally filed in Docket No. CP2010–36. Id. at 1, Attachment 3. The Notice explains that Order No. 445, which established GREP Contracts 1 as a product, also authorized functionally equivalent agreements to be included within the product, provided that they meet the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1–2. Additionally, the Postal Service requested to have the contract in Docket No. CP2010–36 serve as the baseline contract for future functional equivalence analyses of the GREP Contracts 1 product.

The instant contract. The Postal Service filed a draft contract in this case
