WSC changes. See id. at 11. In contrast, 

the Postal Service observes that its 

proposed MEDBPAC method averages 

the variabilities calculated at each Post 

Office used to estimate the logit models, 

and reflects the actual changes in cost 

associated with a given change in WSCs. 

See id. The Postal Service states that 

since most Post Offices have WSC levels 

that are unlikely to change EAS grades 

in response to a WSC change, the actual 

overall variability should be lower. See 

id. 

The Postal Service calculated the 

impact of new Postmaster variabilities 

on costs of domestic Market Dominant 

products in Table 2.4 The Postal Service 

asserts that lower new variabilities do 

not have a large impact on those costs, 

as unit Postmaster costs are low to begin 

with. See id. at 11.

III. Notice and Comment 

IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On July 8, 2022, the Postal Service 

filed a petition pursuant to 39 CFR 

3050.11 requesting that the Commission 

initiate a rulemaking proceeding to 

consider changes to analytical 

principles relating to periodic reports.1

The Petition identifies the proposed 

analytical changes filed in this docket as 

Proposal Three. 

II. Proposal Three 

Background. Proposal Three relates to 

the Revenue, Pieces, and Weight (RPW) 

reporting methodology for measuring 

the country-level totals of contract 

mailpieces in outbound international 

product categories bearing permitimprint indicia. See Petition; id. 

Proposal Three at 1. The international 

outbound products at issue include 

Priority Mail International (PMI), FirstClass Package International Service 

(FCPIS), Priority Mail Express 

International (PMEI), First-Class Mail 

International (FCMI), International 

Priority Airmail (IPA), International 

Surface Airlift (ISAL), and Commercial 

ePackets (CEPK). Proposal Three at 1. 

Currently, the Postal Service uses 

statistical sampling estimates from the 

System for International Revenue and 

Volume, Outbound, and International 

Origin Destination Information System 

(SIRVO–IODIS), along with estimates 

from Global Business System Dispatch 

(GBS Dispatch), to report the countrylevel totals. See id. The Postal Service 

also filed an assessment of the impact of 

the proposal on particular products in a 

non-public attachment accompanying 

this proposal.2

Proposal. The Postal Service’s 

proposal seeks to replace the SIRVO– 

IODIS sampling estimates and the GBS 

Dispatch estimates used in the existing 

RPW reporting methodology with 

granular census data. See id. at 5. The 

Postal Service would use two auxiliary 

data sources for permit-imprint contract 

pieces: manifest information for 

PostalOne! customers using the 

Electronic Verification System (eVS) 

and, for other PostalOne! customers, 

barcodes of mailer-prepared receptacles 

in the GBS Dispatch system. See id. For 

PC Postage contract pieces, the Postal 

Service would determine destinationcountry information from a 

disaggregated National Meter Account 

Tracking System (NMATS) report 

containing activity by individual 

contract and product. See id. 

Rationale and impact. The Postal 

Service states that, under the current 

methodology, certain country-level 

detail cannot be obtained directly and 

that approximations, which may contain 

sampling error or be imprecise, are used 

instead. See id. at 4. According to the 

Postal Service, such error and 

imprecision affect analyses of negotiated 

service agreements (NSAs), which 

analyses rely on country-level detail. 

See id. The Postal Service asserts that its 

proposed methodology could ‘‘be used 

for more precise analyses of individual 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
42670 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

NSAs’’ and would ‘‘eliminate the 

impact of sampling error and GBS 

approximations,’’ and would be 

expected ‘‘to have equal or improved 

country-level data quality.’’ Id. at 5–6. 

The Postal Service states that its 

proposal would not directly affect ‘‘the 

national totals of outbound international 

contract mail pieces reported in RPW.’’ 

Id. at 5. However, the Postal Service 

expects that the proposed methodology 

‘‘would change the level of census 

weight for individual countries . . . .’’ 

Id. at 6. As a result, the Postal Service 

states that the national totals for 

products that contain non-census 

weight (primarily FCMI and FCPIS 

Retail) would be indirectly affected 

‘‘because all census and sample data are 

controlled to GBS Dispatch weight for 

each expansion stratum.’’ Id. 

The Postal Service details these 

indirect effects in a version of the 

international outbound portion of the 

FY 2022 Q2 YTD RPW report showing 

data resulting from use of the proposed 

methodology compared to data resulting 

from use of the current methodology. 

See Petition, Attachment A at 1; 

Proposal Three at 6–7. According to the 

Postal Service, ‘‘[t]he indirect effects of 

the proposal would cause small changes 

to Outbound First-Class Mail 

International (1.6 percent decrease in 

revenue and 2.2 percent decrease in 

volume) and First-Class Package 

International Service Retail (0.5 percent 

increase in revenue and 0.6 percent 

increase in volume).’’ Proposal Three at 

7 (emphasis in original). The Postal 

Service also states that ‘‘[o]ther 

international categories would have 

smaller indirect effects: US. [sic] Postal 

Service Mail, Free Mail, and 

International Ancillary Services.’’ Id. 

(emphasis in original). Finally, the 

Postal Service states that ‘‘[o]verall, 

outbound international revenue and 

volume for Quarters 1 and 2 of FY 2022 

would be reduced by 0.2 percent and 

1.3 percent, respectively.’’ Id. (footnote 

omitted).
