III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On November 14, 2014, the Postal 

Service filed a notice with the 

Commission pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 

and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. requesting 

that the First-Class Mail Parcels product 

be removed from the market dominant 

list and that an identical service be 

added as a price category of the existing 

First-Class Package Service product, 

which appears on the competitive 

product list.1 In support of its Request, 

the Postal Service filed the following 

documents: 

• Attachment A—Resolution of the 

Governors of the United States Postal 

Service, November 13, 2014 (Resolution 

No. 14–10); 

• Attachment B—Statement of 

Supporting Justification; and 

• Attachment C—Draft Mail 

Classification Schedule (MCS) 

Language. 

The Postal Service asserts that the 

new First-Class Parcels category fulfills 

all of the criteria for competitive 

products under section 3642. Request at 

2. The Postal Service states that the new 

category will maintain the existing 

service standards and pricing structure 

of the First-Class Mail Parcels product.2

It also states that after transfer, the new 

category will maintain the sealed 

against inspection feature, and with a 

price adjustment (increase), avoid the 

application of the Private Express 

Statutes for packages that might contain 

letters. Request, Attachment B at 2. 

The Postal Service notes that the 

First-Class Package Service product 

currently has a cost coverage of 119 

percent. Id. It asserts that with the 

addition of the First-Class Parcels 

category to this product, the product 

will continue to cover costs and 

contribute at least 5.5 percent towards 

the competitive product’s share of total 

institutional costs. See 39 U.S.C. 

3633(a)(3), 39 CFR 3015.7. 

II. Commission Action
