1Notice of United States Postal Service Filing of 

Seven Functionally Equivalent Global Expedited 

Package Services 2 Negotiated Service Agreements 

and Application for Non-Public Treatment of 

Materials Filed Under Seal, April 29, 2010 (Notice). 

2 Docket No. CP2009–50, Order Granting 

Clarification and Adding Global Expedited Package 

Services 2 to the Competitive Product List, August 

28, 2009 (Order No. 290). 

Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2) 

contracts.1 The Postal Service believes 

the instant contracts are functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

GEPS 2 contracts, and are supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1, 

Attachment 3. The Notice also explains 

that Order No. 86, which established 

GEPS 1 as a product, also authorized 

functionally equivalent agreements to be 

included within the product, provided 

that they meet the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1. In Order No. 290, 

the Commission approved the GEPS 2 

product.2

The instant contracts. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contracts 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that each 

contract is in accordance with Order No. 

86. The term of each contract is 1 year 

from the date the Postal Service notifies 

the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. Notice at 2–3. 

In support of its Notice, the Postal 

Service filed four attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachments 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F 

and 1G—redacted copies of the seven 

contracts and applicable annexes; 

• Attachments 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F 

and 2G—a certified statement required 

by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each of the 

seven contracts; 

• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7 which 

establishes prices and classifications for 

GEPS contracts, a description of 

applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for 

prices, an analysis and certification of 

the formulas and certification of the 

Governors’ vote; and 

• Attachment 4—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain redacted portions of the 

contracts and supporting documents 

under seal. 

The Notice advances reasons why the 

instant GEPS 2 contracts fit within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS 2. The Postal Service identifies 

customer-specific information, general 

contract terms and other differences that 

distinguish the instant contracts from 

the baseline GEPS 2 agreement, all of 

which are highlighted in the Notice. Id. 

at 3–6. These modifications as described 

in the Postal Service’s Notice apply to 

each of the instant contracts. 

The Postal Service contends that the 

instant contracts are functionally 

equivalent to the GEPS 2 contracts filed 

previously notwithstanding these 

differences. Id. at 6–7. 

The Postal Service asserts that several 

factors demonstrate the contracts’ 

functional equivalence with previous 

GEPS 2 contracts, including the product 

being offered, the market in which it is 

offered, and its cost characteristics. Id. 

at 3. The Postal Service concludes that 

because the GEPS agreements 

‘‘incorporate the same cost attributes 

and methodology, the relevant cost and 

market characteristics are similar, if not 

the same...’’ despite any incidental 

differences. Id. at 6. 

The Postal Service contends that its 

filings demonstrate that each of the new 

GEPS 2 contracts complies with the 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is 

functionally equivalent to previous 

GEPS 2 contracts. It also requests that 

the contracts be included within the 

GEPS 2 product. Id. at 7. 

II. Notice of Filing

Nos. CP2010–40, CP2010–41, CP2010–
