1Request of the United States Postal Service to 

Add Postal Products to the Mail Classification 

Schedule in Response to Order No. 154, March 10, 

2009 (Request). 

2 Docket No. MC2008–1, Review of Nonpostal 

Services, December 19, 2008, at 27–38 (Order No. 

154). The six services discussed in Order No. 154 

were Address Management Services; Customized 

Postage; Stamp Fulfillment Services; Greeting 

Cards, Stationery, and Related Items; Shipping and 

Mailing Supplies; and International Money Transfer 

Service (IMTS). One of the services, Stamp 

Fulfillment Services, has been modified and, in the 

view of the Postal Service, is no longer a postal 

service. Request at 10. Accordingly, the Request 

does not include Stamp Fulfillment Services among 

the services to be added to the MCS. Commenters 

may wish to address this change. Of the remaining 

five services discussed in Order No. 154, the market 

dominant address management services product has 

retained the name ‘‘Address Management Services’’ 

and has been included on the Market Dominant 

Product List. The competitive address management 

services product has been named ‘‘Address 

Enhancement Service’’ and has been included on 

the Competitive Product List. Finally, IMTS has 

been separated into an inbound product (IMTSInbound) and an outbound product (IMTSOutbound). As a result, the Postal Service has 

proposed the addition to the MCS of seven products 

in place of the six discussed by Order No. 154.

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission.

Classification Schedule. This notice

with this filing.

stephen.sharfman@prc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

10, 2009, the Postal Service filed a 

request to add several products to the 

Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) 

product lists.1 The Request is in 

response to the Commission’s ruling in 

Order No. 154 that six products were 

properly classified as postal services, 

but could not be authorized for 

inclusion in the MCS product lists until 

formal requirements of the 

Commission’s regulations are met.2

The Request is filed pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et. seq. 

and includes proposed MCS language,3

statements of supporting justification, 

and attachments containing cost and 

revenue data.4 Section 3020.30 allows 

the Postal Service to request the 

modification of the product lists to add 

new postal services to either the Market 

Dominant Product List or the 

Competitive Product List. The Postal 

Service must provide detailed support 

and justification for the request. 39 CFR 

3020.31 and 3020.32. The Commission 

will review the Request and the 

comments of interested parties and may 

approve the request, institute further 

proceedings, permit the Postal Service 

to modify the request, or take other 

appropriate action under section 

3020.34. 

The products requested to be added to 

the Market Dominant Product List are 

Address Management Services and 

Customized Postage. The Postal Service 

proposes to add these products as 

Special Services. Request at 2. The 

products requested to be added to the 

Competitive Product List are Address 

Enhancement Service; Greeting Cards, 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 7, 2009 / Notices 15785 

5The Postal Service has filed by separate notice 

in this docket material identified as USPS– 

MC2009–19/1, Public Supporting Materials Relating 

to International Products. With redactions, the 

material includes public portions of eight bilateral 

agreements for International Money Order service. 

Five of the bilateral agreements that make up the 

IMTS-Inbound product also have been filed under 

seal as they include information of a commercial 

nature relating to commissions and fees. See USPS– 

MC2009–19/NP1, Nonpublic Supporting Materials 

Relating to Competitive and International Products. 

Id. at 4. 

6See Docket No. CP2009–8, Notice of the United 

States Postal Service of Changes in Rates of General 

Applicability for Competitive Products Established 

in Governors’ Decision No. 08–19, Attachment B at 

102–04, November 13, 2008 (referring to IMTS); 

Docket No. MC2008–1, United States Postal Service 

Notice of Filing of Proposed Mail Classification 

Schedule Language for Four Products It Requests 

Should Be Added to the Product Lists as Postal 

Services, October 17, 2008 (referring to Address 

Management Services; Customized Postage; 

Shipping and Mailing Supplies; and Greeting Cards, 

Stationery and Related Items). 

Stationery, and Related Items; Shipping 

and Mailing Supplies; International 

Money Transfer Service-Outbound 

(IMTS-Outbound); and International 

Money Transfer Service-Inbound (IMTSInbound). Id. 

The Postal Service explains that no 

Governors’ decision was required in this 

case since this request is simply for the 

placement on the MCS product lists of 

already-existing products, at alreadyexisting prices. Id. 

In accordance with section 

3020.31(d), the Postal Service states that 

none of these products constitutes a 

special classification within the 

meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3622(c)(10) for 

market dominant products, or 

constitutes a nonpostal product. None of 

these products constitutes a product not 

of general applicability within the 

meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3), with 

the exception of IMTS-Inbound. The 

terms governing IMTS-Inbound are 

documented in 10 agreements with 

foreign postal administrations. Id. 

The Postal Service states that the 10 

negotiated agreements under 

consideration as the IMTS-Inbound 

product are functionally equivalent and 

may be considered price categories 

within that product. The Postal Service 

therefore requests the Commission to 

treat them as functionally equivalent 

and to classify them collectively as 

IMTS-Inbound agreements within the 

MCS. Id. at 9–10.5

The proposed MCS language in 

Attachment A of the Request is identical 

to the MCS language that has previously 

been filed by the Postal Service with 

respect to these services,6 with the four 

following exceptions. Language for 

International Money Transfer Service 

has been revised. The price range for 

Greeting Cards, Stationery, and Related 

Items has been revised to take into 

account an existing stationery set whose 

price falls outside of the price range as 

originally proposed. The Customized 

Postage product has been changed to 

read ‘‘customer-selected images’’ to 

recognize that customers can order 

customized postage using library images 

provided by the vendor or a third party. 

As the last exception, the name of the 

competitive address management 

services has been changed to ‘‘Address 

Enhancement Service’’ to distinguish it 

from its market dominant counterpart. 

Id. at 3. 

The MCS language in Attachment A 

modifies the language previously filed 

with the Commission in Docket No. 

CP2009–8 and creates separate IMTS 

services to distinguish the inbound 

exchanges from the outbound 

exchanges. Id. at 7. New language is 

added to reflect the expectation of the 

Universal Postal Union (UPU) that 

member countries will, as of January 1, 

2010, designate operators, which may or 

may not be posts, to fulfill on their 

behalf the obligations of the UPU’s 

Postal Payment Services Agreement. 

New language is also proposed for the 

IMTS-Inbound product and price 

category. Id. 

Pursuant to section 3020.33, the 

Commission provides interested persons 

an opportunity to express views and 

offer comments on whether the planned 

modifications are consistent with the 

policies of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and 3642 and 

to indicate whether a hearing is desired. 

Comments are due no later than April 

30, 2009. 

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Robert 

Sidman is appointed to serve as officer 

of the Commission (Public 

Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in the 

above-captioned docket. 

It is Ordered: 

1. Docket No. MC2009–19 is 

established to consider the Postal 

Service Request referred to in the body 

of this order. 

2. Comments are due no later than 

April 30, 2009. 

3. The Commission appoints Robert 

Sidman as Public Representative to 

represent the interests of the general 

public in this proceeding. 

4. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this Order in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission.

Secretary.
