range of alternatives to the proposed 

action, including alternative sites for an 

IIFP facility, alternative technologies, 

shipment of the U.S.-generated DUF6 to 

overseas facilities, and the four U.S.- 

based enrichment companies to 

construct and operate their own 

deconversion facilities. These 

alternatives were eliminated from 

further analysis due to economic, 

environmental, or other reasons. The 

proposed action and the no-action 

alternative were analyzed in detail. The 

no-action alternative serves as a baseline 

for comparison of the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction. The Postal Service has 

filed a request to add Global Plus 1C 

Contracts, consisting of two Global Plus 

1C agreements, to the competitive 

product list.1 The instant agreements are 

set to begin on January 22, 2012, at the 

expiration of customers’ current 

customized (Global Plus 1B) 

agreements.2 Id. at 4–5. 

Product history. Prices and 

classifications for Global Plus Contracts 

1 were added to the competitive product 

list in 2008; several groupings within 

this product, including Global Plus 1A 

and Global Plus 1B, were later added. 

Id. at 1–2. The Postal Service describes 

the instant contracts as the immediate 

successors to, and counterparts of, the 

instruments the Commission found 

eligible for inclusion in the Global Plus 

1B product in previous dockets.3 Id. at 

4. It also says the contracts are on behalf 

of the same customers. Id. 

Functional equivalence. The Postal 

Service addresses the functional 

equivalence of the two Global Plus 1C 

contracts, including a review of their 

similarities and differences. Id. at 5–6. 

It attributes any differences to the result 

of negotiations, and says they do not 

affect the Global Plus rate design or

4 Governors’ Decision No. 08–8 authorizes Global 

Plus 1 contracts. Governors’ Decision No. 11–6 

authorizes Postal Service management to prepare 

any necessary product description, including Mail 

Classification Schedule text, and to present such 

description to the Commission.

market characteristics. Id. at 6. It also 

notes that Global Plus 1C is distinct 

from Global Plus 1B due to the addition 

of Global Express Guaranteed and 

Commercial ePacket. Id. at 7. This 

distinction is reflected in a minor 

classification change and in the 

financial models. Id. 

Other supporting material. The Postal 

Service has filed the two Global Plus 1C 

contracts and certain other material 

under seal. Attachment 1 to the Notice 

is an application for non-public 

treatment of that material. Attachments 

2 through 4 include redacted versions of 

two pertinent Governors’ Decisions; 

revised Mail Classification Schedule 

language; certifications and a related 

statement required under Commission 

rules; and redacted versions of the 

contracts. 

Postal Service representations. The 

Postal Service asserts that its filing 

establishes that the new Global Plus 1C 

contracts are in compliance with the 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633; fit 

within the proposed MCS language for 

Global Plus Contracts based on the 

controlling Governors’ Decisions; and 

are functionally equivalent to each 

other.4 It therefore requests that Global 

Plus 1C be added to the competitive 

product list; that the contracts included 

in this filing be included within the 

Global Plus 1C product; and that these 

contracts be considered the baseline 

agreements for future functionally 

equivalency analyses for the Global Plus 

1C product. Id. at 9. 

Initial Commission action. The 

Commission establishes three related 

dockets, designated as Docket Nos. 

MC2012–6, CP2012–12, and CP2012–13, 

to consider matters raised in the Notice. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

those interested in the Postal Service’s 

proposal to review the filing in its 

entirety. Public portions of the Postal 

Service’s filing can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site, www.prc.gov. 

Commission rule 3007.40 (39 CFR 

3007.40) addresses procedures for 

obtaining access to non-public 

information. Interested persons may 

submit comments on whether addition 

of the new product is consistent with 

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

and 39 CFR part 3015. Comments are 

due no later than January 17, 2012. 

The Commission appoints James F. 

Callow to serve as Public Representative 

in the captioned filings. 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. MC2012–6, CP2012–12, and 

CP2012–13 to consider matters raised by 

the Postal Service’s Notice. 

2. Comments by interested persons in 

these proceedings are due no later than 

January 17, 2012. 

3. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, James F. 

Callow is appointed to serve as the 

officer of the Commission (Public 

Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in these 

proceedings. 

4. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this order in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.

Secretary.

(electronic filing assistance). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 

404(d), the Commission received two 

petitions for review of the Postal 

Service’s determination to close the 

Hope post office in Hope, Minnesota. 

The first petition for review received 

December 28, 2011, was filed by Ed 

Nelson. The second petition for review 

received December 28, 2011, was filed 

by Marcia Dahle. The earliest postmark 

date is December 16, 2011. The 

Commission hereby institutes a 

proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5) 

and establishes Docket No. A2012–105 

to consider Petitioners’ appeal. If 

Petitioners would like to further explain 

their position with supplemental 

information or facts, Petitioners may 

either file a Participant Statement on 

PRC Form 61 or file a brief with the 

Commission no later than February 1, 

2012. 

Notwithstanding the Postal Service’s 

determination to close this post office, 

on December 15, 2011, the Postal 

Service advised the Commission that it 

‘‘will delay the closing or consolidation 

of any Post Office until May 15, 2012.’’ 1

The Postal Service further indicated that 

it ‘‘will proceed with the 

discontinuance process for any Post 

Office in which a Final Determination 

was already posted as of December 12, 

2011, including all pending appeals.’’ 

Id. It stated that the only ‘‘Post Offices’’ 

subject to closing prior to May 16, 2012, 

are those that were not in operation on, 

and for which a Final Determination 

was posted as of, December 12, 2011. It 

affirmed that it ‘‘will not close or 

consolidate any other Post Office prior 

to May 16, 2012.’’ Id. at 2. Lastly, the 

Postal Service requested the 

Commission ‘‘to continue adjudicating 

appeals as provided in the 120-day 

decisional schedule for each 

proceeding.’’ Id. 

The Postal Service’s Notice outlines 

the parameters of its newly announced 

discontinuance policy. Pursuant to the 

Postal Service’s request, the 

Commission will fulfill its appellate 

responsibilities under 39 U.S.C. 

404(d)(5). 

Categories of issues apparently raised. 

Petitioners contend that the Postal 

Service failed to consider the effect of 

the closing on the community (see 39 

U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(i)). 

After the Postal Service files the 

administrative record and the 

Commission reviews it, the Commission 

may find that there are more legal issues 

than those set forth above, or that the
