V. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

The Postal Service seeks to add a new 

product, Canada Post-United States 

Postal Service Contractual Bilateral 

Agreement for Inbound Competitive 

Services, to the Competitive Product 

List. For the reasons discussed below, 

the Commission approves the Request. 

II. Background 

On November 25, 2009, the Postal 

Service filed a formal request pursuant 

to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 

et seq. to add the Canada Post-United 

States Postal Service Contractual 

Bilateral Agreement for Inbound 

Competitive Services (Bilateral 

Agreement or Agreement) to the 

Competitive Product List.1 The Postal 

Service asserts that the Bilateral 

Agreement is a competitive product ‘‘not 

of general applicability’’ within the 

meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This 

Request has been assigned Docket No. 

MC2010–14. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed notice, 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 

CFR 3015.5, that the Governors have 

established prices and classifications 

not of general applicability for inbound 

competitive services as reflected in the 

Bilateral Agreement. More specifically, 

the Bilateral Agreement, which has been 

assigned Docket No. CP2010–13, 

governs Inbound Parcel Post and 

Xpresspost-USA from Canada. 

The Postal Service acknowledges an 

existing bilateral agreement with 

Canada Post for inbound competitive 

services, which is set to expire at the 

end of calendar year 2009. Id. at 3. The 

Postal Service asserts that the proposed 

MCS language in Docket No. MC2010– 

14 ‘‘resembles the language’’ for the 

existing bilateral agreement and that the 

differences ‘‘reflect changes to certain 

operational details’’ including a 

reclassification of Canada Post’s 

‘‘Xpresspost-USA’’ product from a 

market dominant product to a 

competitive product. Id. The 

Commission reviewed and approved 

that bilateral agreement in Docket Nos. 

CP2009–9 and MC2009–8. The 

Commission had previously approved 

the ‘‘Xpresspost-USA’’ product as a 

market dominant product in Docket No. 

MC2009–7.2 Qualifying that approval, 

however, the Commission noted that 

‘‘Xpresspost exhibits characteristics of a 

competitive product.’’ Id. at 7. 

In support of its Request, the Postal 

Service filed the following materials: (1) 

A redacted version of the Governors’ 

Decision including proposed MCS 

language, a management analysis of the 

Bilateral Agreement, certification of 

compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a), and 

certification of the Governors’ vote;3 (2) 

a Statement of Supporting Justification 

as required by 39 CFR 3020.32;4 (3) a 

redacted version of the agreement;5 and 

(4) an application for non-public 

treatment of pricing and supporting 

documents filed under seal.6 Request at 

2. 

The Bilateral Agreement covers 

parcels arriving in the United States by 

surface transportation rather than air. 

Governors’ Decision No. 09–16.7 The 

Bilateral Agreement also covers 

Xpresspost, a Canadian service for 

documents, packets, and light-weight 

packages. Id. The Bilateral Agreement 

allows Canada Post to tender surface 

parcels and Xpresspost to the Postal 

Service at negotiated prices rather than 

the default prices set by the Universal 

Postal Union. Id. The Bilateral 

Agreement is effective January 1, 2010 

and continues until December 31, 2011. 

Id., Attachment 3, at 7. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Lea Emerson, Executive 

Director, International Postal Affairs, 

asserts that ‘‘[t]he addition of the 

[Bilateral] Agreement as a competitive 

product will enable the Commission to 

verify that the agreement covers its 

attributable costs and enables 

competitive products, as a whole, to 

make a positive contribution to coverage 

of institutional costs.’’ Id., Attachment 2, 

at 2. Joseph Moeller, Manager, 

Regulatory Reporting and Cost Analysis, 

Finance Department, certifies that the 

contract complies with 39 U.S.C. 

3633(a). Id., Attachment 1, Attachment 

C. He observes that the Bilateral 

Agreement ‘‘should not impair the 

ability of competitive products on the 

whole to cover an appropriate share of 

institutional costs.’’ Id. 

In Order No. 351, the Commission 

gave notice of the two dockets, 

appointed a public representative, and 

provided the public with an opportunity 

to comment.8

Representative filed an accompanying Motion of the 

Public Representative for Late Acceptance of 

Comments in Response to United States Postal 

Service Request to Add Canada Post-United States

person submitted comments. The Public 

Representative states the Postal 

Service’s Request comports with the 

applicable provisions of title 39. Id. at 

1. He also states that the Postal Service’s 

Request comports with the requirements 

of 39 U.S.C. 3632 and 39 CFR 3015. Id. 

at 1–2. 

The Public Representative states that 

the Bilateral Agreement is in 

compliance with the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a). He asserts that the Postal 

Service has provided adequate 

justification for maintaining 

confidentiality in this case. Id. at 2–3. 

Additionally, the Public Representative 

states that the Bilateral Agreement 

satisfies the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 

3633 in that it will not allow market 

dominant products to subsidize 

competitive products, ensures each 

competitive product covers its 

attributable costs, and enables 

competitive products as a whole to 

cover their costs and contribute a 

minimum of 5.5 percent to the Postal 

Service’s total institutional costs. Id. at 

2. He also indicates that the Postal 

Service has complied with 39 U.S.C. 

3642 and 39 CFR 3020. Id. The Public 

Representative relates that he has 

reviewed the supporting documentation 

filed under seal, and the Bilateral 

Agreement offers provisions favorable 

both to the Postal Service and the 

general public. Id. at 3. 

IV. Commission Analysis 

The Commission has reviewed the 

Request, the Agreement, the financial 

analysis filed under seal, and the 

comments filed by all parties. 

Statutory requirements. The 

Commission’s statutory responsibilities 

in this instance entail assigning the 

Bilateral Agreement to either the Market 

Dominant Product List or to the 

Competitive Product List. 39 U.S.C. 

3642. As part of this responsibility, the 

Commission also reviews the proposal 

for compliance with the Postal 

Accountability and Enhancement Act 

(PAEA) requirements. This includes, for 

proposed competitive products, a 

review of the provisions applicable to 

rates for competitive products. 39 U.S.C. 

3633. 

Product list assignment. In 

determining whether to assign the 

Bilateral Agreement to the Market 

Dominant Product List or the 

Competitive Product List, the 

Commission must consider whether ‘‘the 

Postal Service exercises sufficient 

market power that it can effectively set 

the price of such product substantially 

above costs, raise prices significantly, 

decrease quality, or decrease output, 

without risk of losing a significant level 

of business to other firms offering 

similar products.’’ 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). 

If so, the product will be categorized as 

market dominant. The competitive 

category of products shall consist of all 

other products. 

The Commission is further required to 

consider the availability and nature of 

enterprises in the private sector engaged 

in the delivery of the product, the views 

of those who use the product, and the 

likely impact on small business 

concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3). 

In Docket No. RM2007–1, Order No. 

43, the Commission determined that 

Inbound Surface Parcel Post shipments 

tendered at negotiated rates are 

appropriately classified as 

competitive.10 The Bilateral Agreement 

falls within this category. 

The Postal Service asserts that its 

bargaining position is constrained by 

the existence of other shippers who can 

provide similar services, thus 

precluding it from taking unilateral 

action to increase prices or decrease 

service without the risk of losing 

volume to private companies. Request, 

Attachment 2, at 2–3. It also contends 

that the Agreement relates to the 

exchange between the Postal Service 

and Canada Post of Inbound Surface 

Parcel Post at negotiated prices which it 

has determined to be a competitive 

product because of its exclusion from 

the letter monopoly and the level of 

competition in the market for these 

services. Id. The Bilateral Agreement 

also includes Xpresspost, which the 

Postal Service asserts should be a 

competitive product for essentially the 

same reasons. Id. at 3. The Postal 

Service states that for both products, the 

Agreement provides adequate incentive 

for Canada Post and its shipping 

customers to tender volume to it rather 

than a competitor. It contends that it 

may not increase prices without the risk 

of losing inbound Canada-origin volume 

to a private competitor in the 

international shipping industry. Id. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

underlying parcel services are excluded 

from the Private Express Statutes’ 

prohibition on private carriage of letters 

over post routes. Id., para. (e). It also 

contends that Xpresspost is excluded 

from the Private Express Statutes’ 

prohibition. Id. The Postal Service states 

that the rates payable under the 

Agreement are more than six times 

higher than the current price of a oneounce, First Class letter, and it presumes 

that a competitor could also offer prices 

exceeding this comparison rate. Id. The 

Postal Service also mentions that the 

determination that Xpresspost is 

competitive is consistent with its study 

and deliberations on the appropriate 

classification of the service as a result of 

the Commission’s comments in Order 

No. 163. Id. at 2. 

Finally, the Postal Service states that 

the market for international parcel 

delivery services is highly competitive, 

and the Bilateral Agreement provides a 

benefit to Canada Post’s and the Postal 

Service’s small business customers by 

providing an additional option for 

shipping articles between the United 

States and Canada. It concludes that 

there should be little, if any, negative 

impact on small business. Id. at 4–5. 

In the instant Agreement, Xpresspost 

is classified as a competitive product for 

the first time. This reflects a change 

from the 2009 bilateral agreement with 

Canada Post. For purposes of the 2009 

agreement, Xpresspost was subsumed 

within the market dominant product 

inbound Air Letter Post i.e., Air Letters 

and Cards (Air LC)).11 In reviewing that 

agreement, the Commission determined 

that Xpresspost, a Canada Post service 

for documents and merchandise, 

‘‘exhibits characteristics of a competitive 

product...[that] appears to parallel 

domestic Priority Mail.’’12 See Order No. 

163 at 7. The Commission concluded 

that Xpresspost should be classified as 

a competitive product. Id. 

The Commission concurs with the 

Postal Service’s decision to classify 

Xpresspost as a competitive product. 

Request, Attachment 2, at 6. 

No commenter opposes the proposed 

classification of the Bilateral Agreement 

as competitive. Having considered the 

statutory requirements and the support 

offered by the Postal Service, the 

Commission finds that the Bilateral 

Agreement is appropriately classified as 

a competitive product and should be 

added to the Competitive Product List.

13Chairman’s Information Request No. 1, 

December 10, 2009 (CHIR No. 1). 

14Notice of the United States Postal Service of 

Filing Responses to Chairman’s Information 

Request No. 1 and Revised Financial 

Documentation, December 16, 2009, Questions 7 

and 8. In addition, the Postal Service filed Notice 

of the United States Postal Service of Filing 

Response to Chairman’s Information Request No. 1, 

Question 8, on December 11, 2009. An 

accompanying Motion for Late Acceptance of 

Response to Chairman’s Information Request No. 1, 

Question 8 was filed December 11, 2009. The 

motion is granted. 

The Postal Service’s filing seeks to 

establish a new product for Inbound 

competitive services. The Postal Service 

notes that the Commission observed in 

the FY 2007 and FY 2008 Annual 

Compliance Determination that 

revenues for inbound Surface Parcel 

Post at non-UPU rates did not cover its 

attributable cost during those fiscal 

years. Id., Attachment 2, at 5. It asserts 

that the negotiated rates in the instant 

Bilateral Agreement are an improvement 

over the 2009 rates and include an 

adjustment in the second year of the 

Bilateral Agreement to maintain cost 

coverage. Id. 

Data issues. The Postal Service’s 

filing is responsive to the Commission’s 

concerns representing an improvement 

over the existing rates. The Postal 

Service uses FY 2008 costs rather than 

FY 2009 costs to forecast unit costs for 

Inbound Surface Parcel Post and 

Xpresspost during the contract period, 

CY 2010 and CY 2011. When forecasting 

unit costs, the use of more recent data 

is preferable. In response to Chairman’s 

Information Request No. 1,13 the Postal 

Service states that it was unable to 

provide FY 2009 processing, delivery, 

and ‘‘other’’ unit costs, or FY 2009 

domestic air and surface transportation 

costs per kilogram, notwithstanding that 

its Request was filed in FY 2010.14 The 

use of FY 2008 rather than the more 

recent FY 2009 costs necessitates 

relying on Global Insight indices to 

inflate FY 2008 costs for 3 years i.e., CY 

2009, CY 2010, and CY 2011) instead of 

2 years i.e., CY 2010 and CY 2011), and 

may produce less accurate forecasts 

than desirable. In subsequent filings, the 

Commission requests the Postal Service 

to submit the most recent supporting 

data available even if it is unaudited, in 

addition to the most recent ACD data. 

The Postal Service’s financial model 

also reveals that for CY 2010, 

Xpresspost merchandise will incur the 

cost of scans for Signature Confirmation. 

For CY 2011, however, the Postal 

Service does not include the cost of 

Signature Confirmation scans in its 

model. Rather, it uses the cost of 

Delivery Confirmation scans. The effect 

on costs of using Delivery rather than 

Signature Confirmation scans in CY 

2011 is dramatic. The cost associated 

with Xpresspost merchandise scans 

decrease more than 84 percent between 

CY 2010 and CY 2011, resulting in a 

slight reduction in CY 2011 total costs 

for Inbound Surface Parcel Post and 

Xpresspost, as compared to CY 2010. 

The Postal Service explains that the 

use of Delivery Confirmation scan costs 

reflects a planned change in its process 

of capturing signatures. 

Postal Service revenues can be 

adversely affected if certain ‘‘targets’’ for 

delivery service and scanning are not 

met. During each year of the Bilateral 

Agreement, the Postal Service is not 

expected to receive the maximum 

revenues available because it fails to 

meet such ‘‘Pay for Performance’’ targets. 

Request at 2. See WP-Canada BilateralComp-IB–06, WP-Canada BilateralComp-IB–07, WP-Canada BilateralComp-IB–08, and WP-Canada BilateralComp-IB–09. This occurs because of an 

increase in the targets for delivery, and 

the absence of any improvement in the 

Postal Service’s delivery service and 

scan performance during the contract. 

The Commission encourages the Postal 

Service to improve its performance in 

order to generate additional revenue and 

improve cost coverage. 

Based on the data submitted and the 

comments received, the Commission 

finds that the Bilateral Agreement 

should cover its attributable costs (39 

U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not lead to 

the subsidization of competitive 

products by market dominant products 

(39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have 

a positive effect on competitive 

products’ contribution to institutional 

costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)). Thus, an 

initial review of the proposed Bilateral 

Agreement indicates that it comports 

with the provisions applicable to rates 

for competitive products. 

Other considerations. The Postal 

Service shall, no later than 30 days after 

the effective date of the new contract, 

provide cost, revenue, and volume data 

associated with the current contract. 

The Postal Service submitted the 

Bilateral Agreement which has not been 

executed by the parties. The Postal 

Service is directed to file the executed 

Bilateral Agreement with the 

Commission within 30 days of 

execution. 

The Postal Service shall promptly 

notify the Commission if the Bilateral 

Agreement terminates earlier than its 

proposed term, but no later than the 

actual termination date. The 

Commission will then remove the 

Bilateral Agreement from the Mail 

Classification Schedule at the earliest 

possible opportunity. 

In conclusion, the Commission 

approves the Canada Post-United States 

Postal Service Contractual Bilateral 

Agreement for Inbound Competitive 

Services as a new product. The existing 

contract will be removed from the 

Competitive Product List. The revision 

to the Competitive Product List is 

shown below the signature of this order 

and will be effective January 1, 2010.
