V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On March 21, 2022, the Postal Service 

filed a request for an advisory opinion 

from the Commission regarding planned 

changes to the service standards for 

Retail Ground (RG) and Parcel Select 

Ground (PSG).1 RG ‘‘is an economical 

ground shipping solution for retail 

(single-piece) customers for packages, 

thick envelopes, and tubes weighing 

less than 70 pounds and up to 130 

inches combined length and girth that 

are not required to be sent as First-Class 

Mail.’’ 2 PSG is similar to RG but 

targeted at large- and medium-sized 

commercial shippers. Request at 2; 

Notice at 1 n.2. The Postal Service 

proposes to upgrade the service 

standards for RG and PSG from the 

current 2- to 8-day standard to a 2- to 

5-day standard. Request at 2. 

The intended effective date of the 

Postal Service’s planned changes is no 

earlier than 90 days after the filing of 

the Request. Id. at 5. The Request was 

filed pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3661 and 39 

CFR part 3020. Before issuing its 

advisory opinion, the Commission shall 

accord an opportunity for a formal, onthe-record hearing pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

556 and 557. 39 U.S.C. 3661(c). This 

order provides information on the Postal 

Service’s planned changes, explains and 

establishes the process for the on-therecord hearing, and lays out the 

procedural schedule to be followed in 

this case. 

II. Pre-Filing Issues 

On March 23, 2021, the Postal Service 

published a 10-year strategic plan 

announcing potential changes intended 

to achieve financial stability and service 

excellence.3 In furtherance of this plan, 

on March 4, 2022, the Postal Service 

filed a notice of its intent to conduct a 

pre-filing conference regarding its 

proposed changes to the service 

standards for RG and PSG. Notice at 1. 

On March 8, 2022, the Commission 

issued Order No. 6115, which 

established Docket No. N2022–1 to 

consider the Postal Service’s proposed 

changes, notified the public concerning 

the Postal Service’s pre-filing 

conference, and appointed a Public 

Representative.4 Due to the COVID–19 

pandemic, the Postal Service held its 

pre-filing conference virtually on March 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 18045 

5 Id. at 4. The Postal Service states that the change 

to FCPS has not yet been implemented but would 

be implemented before or at the same time as the 

RG and PSG service standard changes proposed in 

this docket. Notice at 2 n.4. 

15, 2022, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). See 

Request at 8. The Postal Service certifies 

that it has made a good faith effort to 

address concerns of interested persons 

about the Postal Service’s proposal 

raised at the pre-filing conference. See 

id. 

III. The Request 

A. The Postal Service’s Planned 

Changes 

Currently, for end-to-end package 

service within the contiguous United 

States, RG and PSG have a service 

standard ranging from 2 to 8 days. Id. 

at 3. The Postal Service plans to upgrade 

that service standard to correspond with 

the 2- to 5-day service standard for FirstClass Package Service (FCPS) 

considered by the Commission in 

Docket No. N2021–2. Id. at 2, 3. The 

Postal Service asserts that the proposed 

change would simplify the operational 

scheme for processing and transporting 

RG and PSG package volume within the 

contiguous United States by combining 

it with FCPS volume. Id. at 3. Table 1 

below compares the current to the new 

service standards. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

proposed service standards ‘‘are 

predicated on the planned change to the 

FCPS service standards and the 

concomitant improvement and 

optimization of the Postal Service’s 

package processing and surface 

transportation network and depends on 

consolidation with FCPS domestic 

surface volumes.’’ 5

However, the Postal Service notes that 

certain packages are not included in the 

planned service standards, including RG 

and PSG packages sent to or from 

domestic locations outside the 

contiguous United States, packages 

containing hazardous materials, and live 

animals shipped by RG. Id. at 4–5. 

B. The Postal Service’s Position 

The Postal Service states that its 

fundamental rationale for the proposed 

changes is to enhance service to 

customers sending larger packages. Id. 

at 6. It asserts that by consolidating RG 

and PSG volume with FCPS volume, it 

can offer faster service for packages that 

exceed the weight and size limitations 

of FCPS. Id. The Postal Service submits 

that the proposed changes will result in 

further improvement and rationalization 

of its portfolio of package products. Id. 

It notes that the market for faster, 

economical ground shipping products 

has seen significant growth recently and 

is expected to continue to grow. Id. at 

7. 

Additionally, the Postal Service 

contends that shifting RG and PSG 

volume to follow FCPS volume would

enable the further optimization of its 

package processing and surface 

transportation networks in three ways. 

Id. First, it asserts that the added 

volume would fill existing unused 

capacity, maximizing surface 

transportation utility and value. Id. 

Second, the Postal Service states that, by 

eliminating the current interim 

processing stops, it can reduce the 

overall processing burden while 

improving speed and reliability by 

reducing touch points. Id. Third, it 

asserts that by combining multiple sorts, 

the proposed change would improve 

volume and capacity in surface lanes. 

Id. 

Moreover, the Postal Service asserts 

that the proposed changes will continue 

to achieve the broader policies of title 

39, United States Code. See id. at 7–8. 

The Postal Service discusses how the 

proposed changes would continue to 

satisfy the universal service provisions 

appearing in 39 U.S.C. 101, 403, and 

3661(a) under the proposed service 

standards. See id. The Postal Service 

also asserts that the proposed changes 

would not impair compliance with the 

policies of 39 U.S.C. 3633, which govern 

the financial performance of 

competitive products. See id. at 8. The 

Postal Service further asserts that the 

proposed changes will not cause any 

undue or unreasonable discrimination 

against any users of the mail. See id. 

C. The Postal Service’s Direct Case 

The Postal Service is required to file 

its direct case along with the Request. 

See 39 CFR 3020.114. The Postal 

Service’s direct case includes all of the 

prepared evidence and testimony upon 

which the Postal Service proposes to 

rely on in order to establish that its 

proposal accords with and conforms to 

the policies of title 39, United States 

Code. See id. The Postal Service 

provides the direct testimony of three 

witnesses and identifies a fourth 

individual to serve as its institutional 

witness and provide information 

relevant to the Postal Service’s proposal 

that is not provided by other Postal 

Service witnesses. 

Additionally, the Postal Service filed 

five library references, one of which is 

available to the public and four of 

which are designated as non-public 

material.

Amended Rules of Procedure for Nature of Service 

Proceedings Under 39 U.S.C. 3661, May 20, 2014, 

at 18 (Order No. 2080). 

IV. Initial Administrative Actions 

A. General Procedures 

The procedural rules in 39 CFR part 

3020 apply to Docket No. N2022–1. 

Before issuing its advisory opinion, the 

Commission shall accord an 

opportunity for a formal, on-the-record 

hearing pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556 and 

557. 39 U.S.C. 3661(c). The Commission 

will sit en banc for Docket No. N2022– 

1. See 39 CFR 3020.122(b). Due to the 

COVID–19 pandemic, the Commission 

is conducting all business, including 

any hearing or public meeting for 

Docket No. N2022–1 virtually and not in 

person. 

B. Scope 

Docket No. N2022–1 is limited in 

scope to the specific changes proposed 

by the Postal Service in its Request. See 

39 CFR 3020.102(b). To the extent that 

participants raise alternative proposals 

and present reasons why those 

alternatives may be superior to the 

Postal Service’s proposal, the 

Commission would interpret such 

discussion as critiquing the specific 

changes proposed by the Postal Service 

in its Request.6 However, the 

Commission would not evaluate or 

opine on the merits of such alternative 

proposals in its advisory opinion. See 

Order No. 2080 at 18. Pursuant to its 

discretion, the Commission may 

undertake evaluation of alternatives or 

other issues raised by participants in 

separate proceedings (such as special 

studies or public inquires). See 39 CFR 

3020.102(b). Moreover, any interested 

person may petition the Commission to 

initiate a separate proceeding (such as a 

rulemaking or public inquiry) at any 

time. See 39 CFR 3010.201(b) (initiation 

of notice and comment proceedings). 

C. Designation of Presiding Officer 

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.106 and 

3020.122(b), the Commission appoints 

Chairman Michael Kubayanda to serve 

as presiding officer in Docket No. 

N2022–1, effective immediately. In 

addition to the authority delegated to 

the presiding officer under 39 CFR 

3010.106(c), the Commission expands 

the presiding officer’s authority to allow 

him to propound formal discovery 

requests upon any party, at his 

discretion. The numerical limitation on 

interrogatories appearing in 39 CFR 

3020.117(a) shall not apply to the 

presiding officer. The Commission also 

authorizes Chairman Kubayanda to rule 

on procedural issues such as motions 

for late acceptance and discoveryrelated matters such as motions to be 

excused from answering discovery 

requests. Chairman Kubayanda shall 

have authority to issue any ruling in this 

docket not otherwise specifically 

reserved to the Commission by 39 CFR 

3020 and 3010.106. 

D. Procedural Schedule 

The Commission establishes a 

procedural schedule, which appears 

below the signature of this order. See 39 

CFR 3010.151, 3020.110; see also 39 

CFR part 3020 Appendix A. These dates 

may be changed only if good cause is 

shown, if the Commission later 

determines that the Request is 

incomplete, if the Commission 

determines that the Postal Service has 

significantly modified the Request, or 

for other reasons as determined by the 

Commission. See 39 CFR 3020.110(b) 

and (c). 

E. How To Access Material Filed in This 

Proceeding 

1. Using the Commission’s Website 

The public portions of the Postal 

Service’s filing are available for review 

on the Commission’s website (http://

www.prc.gov). The Postal Service’s 

electronic filing of the Request and 

prepared direct evidence effectively 

serves the persons who participated in 

the pre-filing conference. See 39 CFR 

3020.104. Other material filed in this 

proceeding will be available for review 

on the Commission’s website, unless the

from receiving some registration requests. Notice of 

Errata at 1–2. 

information contained therein is subject 

to an application for non-public 

treatment. 

2. Using Methods Other Than the 

Commission’s Website 

The Postal Service must serve hard 

copies of its Request and prepared 

direct evidence ‘‘only upon those 

persons who have notified the Postal 

Service, in writing, during the pre-filing 

conference(s), that they do not have 

access to the Commission’s website.’’ 39 

CFR 3020.104. If you demonstrate that 

you are unable to effectively use the 

Commission’s Filing Online system or 

are unable to access the internet, then 

the Secretary of the Commission will 

serve material filed in Docket No. 

N2022–1 upon you via First-Class Mail. 

See 39 CFR 3010.127(b) and (c). You 

may request physical service by mailing 

a document demonstrating your need to 

the Office of Secretary and 

Administration, Postal Regulatory 

Commission, 901 New York Avenue 

NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20268– 

0001. Service may be delayed due to the 

impact of the COVID–19 pandemic. 

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.127(c), the 

Secretary shall maintain a service list 

identifying no more than two 

individuals designated for physical 

service of documents for each party 

intervening in this proceeding. 

Accordingly, each party must ensure 

that its listing is accurate and should 

promptly notify the Secretary of any 

errors or changes. See 39 CFR 

3010.127(c). 

3. Non-Public Material 

The Commission’s rules on how to 

file and access non-public material 

appear in 39 CFR part 3011. Each 

individual seeking non-public access 

must familiarize themselves with these 

provisions, including the rules 

governing eligibility for access; nondissemination, use, and care of the nonpublic material; sanctions for violations 

of protective conditions; and how to 

terminate or amend access.7 Any person 

seeking access to non-public material 

must file a motion with the Commission 

containing the information required by 

39 CFR 3011.301(b)(1)–(4). Each motion 

must attach a description of the 

protective conditions and a certification 

to comply with protective conditions 

executed by each person or entity (and 

each individual working on behalf of 

the person or entity) seeking access. 39 

CFR 3011.301(b)(5)–(6). To facilitate 

compliance with 39 CFR 

3011.301(b)(5)–(6), a template Protective 

Conditions Statement and Certification 

to Comply with Protective Conditions 

appears below the signature of this 

order as Attachment 2, for completion 

and attachment to a motion for access. 

See 39 CFR part 3011 Subpart C, 

Appendix A. Persons seeking access to 

non-public material are advised that 

actual notice provided to the Postal 

Service pursuant to 39 CFR 

3011.301(b)(4) will expedite resolution 

of the motion, particularly if the motion 

for access is uncontested by the Postal 

Service. 

Non-public information must be 

redacted from filings submitted through 

the Commission’s website; instead, nonpublic information must be filed under 

seal as required by 39 CFR part 3011 

subpart B.

3. How To Participate in the Technical 

Conference 

To participate in this live technical 

conference and have the opportunity to 

ask questions of the Postal Service’s four 

witnesses, an individual need not 

formally intervene in this docket, but 

must register in advance as follows. 

Each individual seeking to participate in 

the live WebEx using an individual 

device (e.g., a desktop computer, laptop, 

tablet, or smart phone) must register by 

sending an email to N2022-

In order to facilitate orderly public 

participation, this email shall provide 

the following information: 

• Your first and last name; 

• your email address (to receive the 

WebEx link); 

• the name(s) of the Postal Service’s 

witness(es) you would like to question 

and/or the topic(s) of your question(s); 

and 

• your affiliation (if you are 

participating in your capacity as an 

employee, officer, or member of an 

entity such as a corporation, association, 

or government agency). 

The N2022-1registration@prc.gov

the exchange of information relating to 

the logistics of registering for, and 

participating in, the technical 

conference.9 No information related to 

the substance of the Postal Service’s

conference, and information regarding 

the schedule and procedures to be 

followed.

to be explored at the technical 

conference, the Postal Service shall, if 

necessary, file with the Commission any 

materials not already filed in Docket No. 

N2022–1 (such as PowerPoint 

presentations or Excel spreadsheets) 

that the Postal Service expects to 

present at the technical conference by 

March 29, 2022. Doing so will foster an 

orderly discussion of the matters under 

consideration and facilitate the ability of 

individuals to access these materials 

should technical issues arise for any 

participants during the live WebEx. If 

feasible, the recording will be available 

on the Commission’s YouTube Channel 

at https://www.youtube.com/channel/

H. How To Intervene (Become a Party to 

This Proceeding) 

To become a party to this proceeding, 

a person or entity must file a notice of 

intervention by April 4, 2022.10 This 

filing must clearly and concisely state: 

The nature and extent of the 

intervenor’s interest in the issues 

(including the postal services used), the 

intervenor’s position on the proposed 

changes in services (to the extent 

known), whether or not the intervenor 

requests a hearing, and whether or not 

the intervenor intends to actively 

participate in the hearing. See 39 CFR 

3010.142(b). Page one of this filing shall 

contain the name and full mailing 

address of no more than two persons 

who are to receive service, when 

necessary, of any documents relating to 

this proceeding. See id. A party may 

participate in discovery; file testimony 

and evidence; conduct written 

examination of witnesses; conduct 

limited oral cross-examination; file 

briefs, motions, and objections; and 

present argument before the 

Commission or the presiding officer. See 

id. sections 3010.142(a); 3020.122(e). An 

opposition to a notice of intervention is 

due within 3 days after the notice of 

intervention is filed. See id. section 

3010.142(d)(2). 

I. Discovery 

1. Generally Applicable Discovery 

Procedures 

Discovery requests may be 

propounded upon filing a notice of 

intervention. Discovery that is 

reasonably calculated to lead to the 

admissible evidence is allowed. See 39 

CFR 3020.116(a). Each party must 

familiarize themselves with the 

Commission’s rules appearing in 39 CFR 

part 3020, including the rules for 

discovery in N-dockets generally and 

specific to interrogatories, requests for 

the production of documents, and 

requests for admissions.11 No party may 

propound more than a total of 25 

interrogatories (including both initial 

and follow-up interrogatories) without 

prior approval by the Commission or 

presiding officer.12

Each answer to a discovery request is 

due within 7 days after the discovery 

request is filed.13 Any motion seeking to 

be excused from answering any 

discovery request is due within 3 days 

after the discovery request is filed. See 

39 CFR 3020.105(b)(1). Any response to 

such motion is due within 2 days after 

the motion is filed. See id. section 

3020.105(b)(2). The Commission expects 

parties to make judicious use of 

discovery, objections, and motions 

practice, and encourages parties to make 

every effort to confer to resolve disputes 

informally before bringing disputes to 

the Commission to resolve. 

2. Discovery Deadlines for the Postal 

Service’s Direct Case 

All discovery requests regarding the 

Postal Service’s direct case must be filed 

by April 18, 2022. All discovery 

answers by the Postal Service must be 

filed by April 25, 2022. The parties are 

urged to initiate discovery promptly, 

rather than to defer filing requests and 

answers to the end of the period 

established by the Commission. 

J. Rebuttal Case Deadlines 

A rebuttal case is any evidence and 

testimony offered to disprove or 

contradict the evidence and testimony 

submitted by the Postal Service. A 

rebuttal case does not include crossVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:01 Mar 28, 2022 Jkt 256001 PO 00000 Frm 00076 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\29MRN1.SGM 29MRN1

14The pro forma schedule set forth in appendix 

A of 39 CFR part 3020 contemplates this hearing 

scheduled for days 54–56, which would be 

Saturday May 14, 2022 through Monday May 16, 

2022. In accordance with 39 CFR 3020.103, these 

dates are adjusted to Monday May 16, 2022 through 

Wednesday May 18, 2022. 

15Consistent with the necessary adjustments 

made in Docket Nos. N2021–1 and N2021–2 to 

conduct a virtual hearing, the Commission adjusts 

the timeframe contemplated by 39 CFR 

3020.122(e)(3) and instead sets this deadline as 7 

days before the beginning of the virtual hearing 

(assuming that no rebuttal case is filed). 

examination of the Postal Service’s 

witnesses or argument submitted via a 

brief or statement of position. Any party 

that intends to file a rebuttal case must 

file a notice confirming its intent to do 

so by April 27, 2022. Any rebuttal case, 

consisting of any testimony and all 

materials in support of the case, must be 

filed by May 2, 2022. 

K. Surrebuttal Case Deadlines 

A surrebuttal case is any evidence and 

testimony offered to disprove or 

contradict the evidence and testimony 

submitted by the rebutting party. A 

surrebuttal case does not include crossexamination of the rebutting party’s 

witnesses or argument submitted via a 

brief or statement of position. Any party 

that intends to file a surrebuttal case 

must obtain the Commission’s prior 

approval and must bear the burden of 

demonstrating exceptional 

circumstances that would warrant 

granting the motion. See 39 CFR 

3020.121(b). Any motion for leave to file 

a surrebuttal case is due May 4, 2022. 

Any response to such motion is due 

May 6, 2022. Any surrebuttal case, 

consisting of any testimony and all 

materials in support of the case, must be 

filed by May 9, 2022. 

L. Hearing Dates 

The Commission expects that this 

case will require no more than one or 

two business days for hearing, but 

reserves three business days out of an 

abundance of caution and consistent 

with the pro forma schedule set forth in 

appendix A of 39 CFR part 3020. If no 

party files a notice of intent to file a 

rebuttal case by April 27, 2022, then the 

hearing of the Postal Service’s direct 

case shall begin May 2, 2022, with 

additional days reserved on May 3, 

2022, and May 4, 2022. If any party files 

a notice of intent to file a rebuttal case 

by April 27, 2022 but no surrebuttal 

testimony will be presented, then the 

hearing of the Postal Service’s direct 

case shall begin May 9, 2022, with 

additional days reserved on May 10, 

2022, and May 11, 2022. If any party 

files a notice of intent to file a rebuttal 

case by April 27, 2022, and the 

Commission approves the presentation 

of surrebuttal testimony, then the 

hearing of the Postal Service’s direct 

case shall begin May 16, 2022, and the 

hearing of the surrebuttal case shall end 

May 18, 2022.14

M. Presentation of Evidence and 

Testimony 

Evidence and testimony shall be in 

writing and may be accompanied by a 

trial brief or legal memoranda. Id. 

section 3020.122(e)(1). Whenever 

possible and particularly for factual or 

statistical evidence, written crossexamination will be used in lieu of oral 

cross-examination. Id. section 

3020.122(e)(2). 

Oral cross-examination will be 

allowed to clarify written crossexamination and/or to test assumptions, 

conclusions, or other opinion evidence. 

Id. section 3020.122(e)(3). Assuming 

that no rebuttal case is filed, any party 

that intends to conduct oral crossexamination shall file a notice of intent 

to do so by April 25, 2022.15 The notice 

must include an estimate of the amount 

of time requested for each witness. 

In lieu of submitting hard copy 

documents to the Commission as 

contemplated by 39 CFR 3020.122(e)(2), 

each party shall file a single document 

titled ‘‘Notice of Designations’’ 

containing a list for each witness that 

identifies the materials to be designated 

(without the responses). The filing party 

shall arrange its list for each witness in 

alphabetical order by the name of the 

party propounding the interrogatory 

followed by numerical order of the 

interrogatory. For example: 

Designations for Witness One 

ABC/USPS–T1–1 

ABC/USPS–T1–3 

DEF/USPS–T1–1 

GHI/USPS–T1–3 

JKL/USPS–T1–2 

Designations for Witness Two 

DEF/USPS–T2–4 

GHI/USPS–T2–2 

Assuming that no rebuttal case is 

filed, each party shall file its Notice of 

Designations by April 26, 2022. 

Assuming that no rebuttal case is 

filed, on April 29, 2022, the Postal 

Service shall file a ‘‘Notice of 

Designated Materials’’ identifying any 

corrections to the testimony or 

designated materials for each witness 

sponsored by the Postal Service. 

Attached to that notice shall be a single 

Adobe PDF file that contains, in order: 

The witness’s testimony (with any 

corrections highlighted); identification 

of any library references sponsored by 

the witness; and the witness’s 

designated written responses in 

alphabetical order by the name of the 

party propounding the interrogatory 

followed by numerical order of the 

interrogatory (with any corrections to 

the responses highlighted). 

N. Presentation of Argument 

1. General Procedures

Docket No. N2022–1 (and thereby 

formally became a party to this 

proceeding) may submit written

statement of position. See 39 CFR 

3020.123(g); see also 39 CFR 

3010.142(a). 

2. Presentation of Written Argument 

A brief is a written document that 

addresses relevant legal and evidentiary 

issues for the Commission to consider 

and must adhere to the requirements of 

39 CFR 3020.123(a)–(f). A statement of 

position is a less formal version of a 

brief that describes the filer’s position 

on the Request and the information on 

the existing record in support of that 

position. See 39 CFR 3020.123(g). 

a. Briefing Deadlines 

Assuming that no rebuttal case is

anyone that has not filed a notice of 

intervention and become a party to this 

proceeding, may file a statement of 

position. See 39 CFR 3020.123(g); see 

also 39 CFR 3010.142(a). A statement of 

position is limited to the existing record 

and may not include any new 

evidentiary material. See 39 CFR 

3020.123(g). Filings styled as a brief or 

comments, conforming with the content 

and timing requirements, shall be 

deemed statements of positions. Any 

statement of position is due May 11, 

2022. 

3. Request To Present Oral Argument 

Oral argument has not historically 

been part of N-cases; the Commission 

would only grant a request to present 

oral argument upon an appropriate 

showing of need by the presenting 

party. See Order No. 2080 at 53. 

Assuming that no rebuttal case is filed,

I. Introduction 

The Commission gives notice that the 

Postal Service filed request(s) for the 

Commission to consider matters related 

to negotiated service agreement(s). The 

request(s) may propose the addition or 

removal of a negotiated service 

agreement from the market dominant or 

the competitive product list, or the 

modification of an existing product 

currently appearing on the market 

dominant or the competitive product 

list. 

Section II identifies the docket 

number(s) associated with each Postal 

Service request, the title of each Postal 

Service request, the request’s acceptance 

date, and the authority cited by the 

Postal Service for each request. For each 

request, the Commission appoints an 

officer of the Commission to represent 

the interests of the general public in the 

proceeding, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505 

(Public Representative). Section II also 

establishes comment deadline(s) 

pertaining to each request. 

The public portions of the Postal 

Service’s request(s) can be accessed via 

the Commission’s website (http://

www.prc.gov). Non-public portions of 

the Postal Service’s request(s), if any, 

can be accessed through compliance 

with the requirements of 39 CFR

The Commission invites comments on
