SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 

section 4041 of the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 

as amended (ERISA), a single-employer 

pension plan may terminate voluntarily 

only if it satisfies the requirements for 

either a standard or a distress 

termination. Pursuant to ERISA section 

4041(b), for standard terminations, and 

section 4041(c), for distress 

terminations, and PBGC’s termination 

regulation (29 CFR part 4041), a plan 

administrator wishing to terminate a 

plan is required to submit specified 

information to PBGC in support of the 

proposed termination and to provide 

specified information regarding the 

proposed termination to third parties 

(participants, beneficiaries, alternate 

payees, and employee organizations). In 

the case of a plan with participants or 

beneficiaries who cannot be located 

when their benefits are to be distributed, 

the plan administrator is subject to the 

requirements of ERISA section 4050 and 

PBGC’s missing participants regulation 

(29 CFR part 4050). As noted above, 

these regulations may be accessed on 

PBGC’s Web site at http:// 

www.pbgc.gov. PBGC is making 

clarifying, simplifying, editorial, and 

other changes to the existing forms and 

instructions (including changes 

prompted by changes in ERISA and the 

Internal Revenue Code). The collection 

of information under these regulations 

and the implementing forms and 

instructions has been approved by OMB 

under control number 1212–0036 

(expires September 30, 2010). PBGC is 

requesting that OMB extend its approval 

for three years. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

PBGC estimates that 1,381 plan 

administrators will be subject to the 

collection of information requirements 

in PBGC’s termination and missing 

participants regulations and 

implementing forms and instructions 

each year, and that the total annual 

burden of complying with these 

requirements is 2,325 hours and 

$3,327,341. Much of the work 

associated with terminating a plan is 

performed for purposes other than 

meeting these requirements. 

Issued in Washington, DC, this 24th day of 

August, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Table of Contents 

I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On August 18, 2010, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

has entered into six additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 3 (GEPS 3) 

contracts.1 The Postal Service believes 

the instant contracts are functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

GEPS contracts, and are supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1–2, 

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 2. In Order No. 290, 

the Commission approved the GEPS 2 

product.2 In Order No. 503, the 

Commission approved the GEPS 3 

product. Additionally, the Postal 

Service requested to have the contract in 

Docket No. CP2010–71 serve as the 

baseline contract for future functional 

equivalence analyses of the GEPS 3 

product. 

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 one year 

from the date the Postal Service notifies 

the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. Notice at 3. 

In support of its Notice, the Postal 

Service filed four attachments as 

follows: 

1. Attachments 1A, 1B, 1C ,1D, 1E and 

1F—redacted copies of the six contracts 

and applicable annexes; 

2. Attachments 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E and 

2F—certified statements required by 39 

CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each of the six 

contracts; 

3. 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 of the formulas, and 

certification of the Governors’ vote; and 

4. 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 3 contracts fit within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS. The Postal Service identifies 

customer–specific information and 

general contract terms that distinguish 

the instant contracts from the baseline 

GEPS 3 agreement all of which are 

highlighted in the Notice. Id. at 4–5. 

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 baseline contract for 

GEPS 3 and share the same cost and 

market characteristics as the previously 

filed GEPS contracts. Id. at 4. It states 

that the differences including updates 

and volume or postage commitments of 

customers, do not alter the contracts’ 

functional equivalency. Id. The Postal 

Service asserts that ‘‘[b]ecause the 

agreements incorporate the same cost 

attributes and methodology, the relevant 

characteristics of these six GEPS 

contracts are similar, if not the same, as 

the relevant characteristics of previously 

filed contracts.’’ Id. 

The Postal Service concludes that its 

filings demonstrate that each of the new 

GEPS 3 contracts complies with the 

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

functionally equivalent to the baseline 

GEPS 3 contract. Therefore, it requests 

that the instant contracts be included 

within the GEPS 3 product. Id. at 5. 

II. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. CP2010–96 through CP2010–101 

for consideration of matters related to 

the contracts identified in the Postal 

Service’s Notice. 

These dockets are addressed on a 

consolidated basis for purposes of this 

order. Filings with respect to a 

particular contract should be filed in 

that docket. 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Postal 

Service’s contracts are consistent with 

the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 

3642. Comments are due no later than 

August 27, 2010. The public portions of 

these filings can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov.) 

The Commission appoints Paul L. 

Harrington to serve as Public 

Representative in the captioned 

proceedings. 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. CP2010–96 through CP2010–101 

for consideration of matters raised by 

the Postal Service’s Notice. 

2. Comments by interested persons in 

these proceedings are due no later than 

August 27, 2010. 

3. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, Paul L. 

Harrington is appointed to serve as the

Representative) to represent the 

interests of the general public in these 

proceedings.
