IIII. Ordering Paragraphs

## I. Introduction

                    In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3040.130 through 39 CFR 3040.135, the Postal Service filed a request and associated supporting information to add Inbound International Tracked Delivery Service (IITDS) to the competitive product list.[1]                                          The Postal Service also gave notice pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR 3035.105 that the Governors established classifications and rates not of general applicability for IITDS. Request at 1. To support its Request, the Postal Service filed a copy of the Governors' Decision authorizing the product, proposed changes to the Mail Classification Schedule, a Statement of Supporting Justification, a certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a), and an application for non-public treatment of certain materials.                     *Id.*                     at 1-2. It also filed supporting financial workpapers.                     *Id.*                     The Postal Service intends for the new service and rates to take effect on April 1, 2022.                     *Id.*                     at 4.                

                    The Postal Service seeks to add IITDS to the competitive product list as part of the International Ancillary Services product.                     *Id.*                     at 3, Attachment 4. The prices for IITDS are fixed by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and will be set at 0.4 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) per item for the provision of inbound tracked delivery services with up to an additional 0.75 SDR per item on the basis of performance of electronic transmission of tracking information.                     *Id.*                     at 3. The Postal Service states that IITDS provides foreign postal operators UPU default rates for the tracked service and that IITDS' inclusion on the competitive product list would not preclude the Postal Service from exchanging tracked items with foreign postal operators pursuant to negotiated rates set forth in multilateral or bilateral agreements.                     *Id.*                     at 3-4.                

## II. Notice of Commission Action
