1Pub. L. 109–435, 120 Stat. 3198 (2006) (PAEA). 

SUMMARY: This notice establishes a 

docket to solicit comments on the 

analyses, arguments, and proposals 

concerning technical issues related to 

workshare discount design. The 

proceeding will allow certain issues 

raised in an earlier proceeding to be 

fully addressed. 

DATES: Comments are due: November 

15, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at http:// 

www.prc.gov. Commenters who cannot 

submit their views electronically should 

contact the person identified in FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by 

telephone for advice on alternatives to 

electronic filing. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel, 

stephen.sharfman@prc.gov or 202–789– 

6820. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Order No. 

536 resolves several important threshold 

legal and policy issues underlying the 

design of workshare discounts. The 

Commission concluded that the pricing 

constraint on workshare discounts 

established in 39 U.S.C. 3622(e) may 

apply within or across products, as that 

term is defined and employed in the 

Postal Accountability and Enhancement 

Act.1 It concludes that subsection 

3622(e) implements a substantial 

portion of the policies that underlay the 

Efficient Component Pricing rule as that 

principle has been articulated in prior 

regulatory practice. It also concludes 

that identifying the groups of mail 

between which worksharing 

relationships should be recognized for 

purposes of subsection 3622(e) requires 

identification of mail that serves the 

same market and is distinguished from 

other mail serving that market 

predominantly by the costs that 

worksharing activity avoids. The 

selection of an appropriate base or 

reference group from which the costs 

avoided by worksharing are to be 

calculated depends on what 

components of the base group are likely 

to shift to the workshared group in 

response to changes in their relative 

prices. 

Applying these principles to mail 

classes, Order No. 536 concludes that 

there is a worksharing relationship 

between presort First-Class Mail and 

single-piece First-Class Mail that is 

metered or bears Information Based 

Indicia (IBI). In this docket, the 

Commission solicits comments on the 

appropriate base group for measuring 

First-Class Mail workshare discounts. 

Commenters should feel free to discuss 

the merits of the current Bulk Metered 

Mail (BMM) base category as well as a 

number of already suggested 

alternatives, including IBI mail, a 

weighted average of BMM and IBI mail, 

‘‘Qualified PC Postage’’ mail, or some 

other group of single-piece First-Class 

Mail. It also solicits comments on the 

specific cost characteristics that the base 

category selected should have. 

Order No. 536 also concludes that 

Saturation Mail is not in a worksharing 

relationship with other groups of 

Standard Mail. Accordingly, there is no 

need to further examine the issue of 

identifying an appropriate reference 

category for pricing Saturation Mail in 

a follow-on proceeding. 

Order No. 536 contemplates that this 

follow-on proceeding will also consider 

technical proposals to revise or refine 

the manner in which avoided costs are 

modeled. The Postal Service’s 

comments in Docket No. RM2009–3, for 

example, mention its intention to 

propose changes to the way some cost 

pools are classified for purposes of cost 

avoidance analysis (whether they 

should be treated as proportional, fixed, 

or non-worksharing related). The 

comments of the American Postal 

Workers Union, AFL-CIO in that docket 

express a more general desire to reevaluate and modify the current method 

of classifying avoided cost pools. 

In Docket No. RM2009–3, various 

parties expressed an intent to propose 

changes to the way delivery and other 

costs are estimated in calculating the 

costs avoided by presort First-Class 

Mail. Comments suggested de-averaging 

rates for First-Class Mail by indicia, the 

use of two Cost and Revenue Analysis 

adjustment factors to develop workshare 

discounts, and a form of pre-barcoding 

discount that would recognize the 

savings generated by single-piece FirstClass Mail that is CASS-certified and 

bears an Intelligent Mail barcode. All of 

these issues are eligible for 

consideration in this docket. 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission establishes Docket 

No.RM2010–13 to consider analyses, 

arguments, and proposals concerning 

technical issues that relate to the design 

of workshare discounts, as described in 

the body of this order. 

2. Comments are due on or before 

November 15, 2010. 

3. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 505, the 

Commission appoints Emmett Rand 

Costich to represent the interests of the 

general public in this proceeding. 

4. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

By the Commission. 

Shoshana M. Grove, 

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 7710–FW–S 

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Proposed Data Collection(s) Available 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

which provides opportunity for public 

comment on new or revised data 

collections, the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed data collections. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collections are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s 

estimate of the burden for the collection 

of the information; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden related to 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

1. Title and purpose of information 

collection: 

Placement Service; OMB 3220–0057: 

Section 12(i) of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

authorizes the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) to establish, maintain, and 

operate free employment offices to 

provide claimants for unemployment 

benefits with job placement 

opportunities. Section 704(d) of the 

Regional Railroad Reorganization Act of 

1973, as amended, and as extended by 

the consolidated Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1985, required the 

RRB to maintain and distribute a list of 

railroad job vacancies, by class and 

craft, based on information furnished by 

rail carriers to the RRB. Although the 

requirement under the law expired 

effective August 13, 1987, the RRB has 

continued to obtain this information in 

keeping with its employment service 

responsibilities under Section 12(k) of 

the RUIA. Application procedures for 

the job placement program are 

prescribed in 20 CFR 325. The 

procedures pertaining to the RRB’s 

obtaining and distributing job vacancy 

reports furnished by rail carriers are 

described in 20 CFR 346.1. 

The RRB currently utilizes four forms 

to obtain information needed to carry
