SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On September 22, 2008, the Postal 

Service filed a notice, which has been 

assigned to Docket No. CP2008–25.1

This Notice announces an individual 

negotiated service agreement, namely, a 

specific Global Expedited Package 

Service (GEPS) contract the Postal 

Service has entered into with an 

individual mailer. The Postal Service 

believes that it is functionally 

equivalent to the Global Expedited 

Package Services 1 (GEPS 1) product 

established in Docket No. CP2008–5. 

Docket No. CP2008–5. The Governor’s 

Decision supporting the GEPS 1 product 

was filed in consolidated Docket No. 

CP2008–5.2 In Order No. 86, the 

Commission established GEPS 1 as a 

product and held that additional 

contracts may be included as part of the 

GEPS 1 product if they meet the 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, and if 

they are substantially equivalent to the 

initial GEPS 1 contract filed in Docket 

No. CP2008–5.3 The GEPS 1 product 

provides volume-based incentives for 

mailers that send large volumes of 

Express Mail International (EMI) and/or 

Priority Mail International (PMI). 

Related contract. The Postal Service 

filed the proposed contract in this 

docket pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5, 

asserting that it is in accord with Order 

No. 86 and is substantially equivalent to 

the initial GEPS 1 contract filed with the 

Commission. Id. In support of its filing, 

the Postal Service also provides the 

contract and certain supporting material 

under seal. The Notice contains the 

Postal Service’s arguments that this 

contract is substantially equivalent and 

that it exhibits similar cost and market 

characteristics. Notice at 3–5. The Postal 

Service also maintains that the contract, 

by virtue of its terms, fits within the 

proposed Mail Classification Schedule 

language for GEPS 1. Id. at 2. 

While maintaining that the contract is 

substantially equivalent to the initial 

GEPS 1 contract, the Postal Service
