55076 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 205 / Monday, October 26, 2009 / Notices 

not specifically address the case of a 

price decrease. No price change is 

proposed for Standard Mail. Thus, for 

Standard Mail the Postal Service argues 

that cap compliance calculations are 

even less appropriate. Id. at 5–7. 

Statutory objectives and factors. The 

Notice further provides, in compliance 

with rules 3010.14(b)(5) through 

3010.14(b)(8), the Postal Service’s 

assessment of how the planned program 

helps achieve the objectives of 39 U.S.C. 

3622(b) and properly takes into account 

the factors of 39 U.S.C. 3622(c). See 

generally id. at 8–12. 

With respect to statutory objectives, 

the Postal Service concludes that the 

price adjustment and classification 

changes do not substantially alter the 

degree to which First-Class Mail and 

Standard Mail prices already address 

the statutory objectives, or how they are 

addressed by the design of the system 

itself. It argues that by mitigating the 

assessments, the proposed changes 

reflect the Postal Service’s use of pricing 

flexibility (Objective 4) to address 

mailer concerns, and at most, only cause 

a slight decrease in revenue while still 

providing proper incentives (Objective 

5). The Postal Service argues that high 

quality service will improve by 

encouraging use of Move Update 

(Objective 3). Finally, parallel 

assessment of 7 cents per piece for both 

First-Class Mail and Standard Mail is 

transparent and keeps administration of 

the assessment simple (Objective 6). Id. 

at 9. 

In terms of statutory factors, the Postal 

Service asserts that, as with the 

objectives, the price and classification 

changes do not substantially alter the 

degree to which First-Class Mail and 

Standard Mail address the factors of 39 

U.S.C. 3622(c). The Postal Service 

asserts that the Move Update 

adjustments will encourage mailers to 

adopt Move Update while reasonably 

taking the impact of price changes into 

account (factors 3 and 7). The Postal 

Service uses the adjustments as an 

example of enhancing operational 

efficiency by reducing undeliverable-asaddressed mail through the use of 

customer supplied Change of Address 

orders (factors 7 and 12). Finally, the 

Postal Service contends that the 

adjustments should not materially affect 

the cost coverage of either First-Class 

Mail or Standard Mail (factor 2). Id. at 

12. 

Workshare discounts. The Postal 

Service asserts that the Move Update 

assessment revisions do not constitute a 

change to workshare discounts. The 

Postal Service states that all passthrough 

values should be similar to those 

reviewed in Docket No. R2009–2. Id. at 

12–13. 

Preferred rates. The Postal Service 

contends that the program will have no 

impact on preferred rates in Standard 

Mail, and is not expected to affect the 

60 percent ratio between nonprofit and 

commercial Standard Mail prices. Id. at 

13. 

III. Commission Action 

Establishment of docket; comments. 

The Commission establishes Docket No. 

R2010–1 to consider all matters related

Interested persons may express views

part 3010. Consistent with the 

Commission’s rules, 39 CFR 

3010.13(a)(5), comments are due no
