SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    On April 21, 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 Royal 
Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement (Agreement) to the Competitive 
Product List.\1\ The Postal Service asserts that the Governors have 
established a price and classification ``not of general applicability'' 
within the meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at 1. This Request has 
been assigned Docket No. MC2009-24.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Request of the United States Postal Service to Add Royal 
Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement to the Competitive Products 
List and Notice of Filing (Under Seal) Contract and Enabling 
Governors' Decision, April 21, 2009 (Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Postal Service contemporaneously filed the Agreement related to 
the proposed new product pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR 
3015.5. Id. The Agreement has been assigned Docket No. CP2009-28.
    In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following 
materials: (1) A statement of supporting justification as required by 
39 CFR 3020.32; \2\ (2) Governors' Decision No. 09-5 authorizing the 
new product which includes a certification of the vote, requested 
changes in the Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) product list, an 
analysis of the Agreement, a certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 
3633(a); \3\ and (3) a redacted version of the Agreement.\4\ An 
additional certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a) is 
included to reflect changes in the estimated amount of inward land rate 
payments in 2010 due to revisions to the payment structure under the 
Universal Postal Union's Parcel Post Regulations that will become 
effective on January 1, 2010.\5\ Substantively, the Request seeks to 
add the Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement to the Competitive 
Product List. Id. at 1-2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Attachment 1 to the Request.
    \3\ Attachment 2 to the Request.
    \4\ Attachment 3 to the Request.
    \5\ Attachment 4 to the Request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the statement of supporting justification, Giselle Valera, 
Executive Director, Global Finance and Business Analysis, asserts that 
the service to be provided under the Agreement will cover its 
attributable costs, make a positive contribution to institutional 
costs, and increase contribution toward the requisite 5.5 percent of 
the Postal Service's total institutional costs. Id., Attachment 1. 
Thus, Ms. Valera contends there will be no issue of subsidization of 
competitive products by market dominant products as a result of this 
Agreement. Id. W. Ashley Lyons, Manager, Corporate Financial Planning, 
Finance Department, certifies that the Agreement complies with 39 
U.S.C. 3633(a). See id., Attachment C.
    The Postal Service filed much of the supporting materials, 
including the unredacted Governors' Decision and the unredacted 
Agreement, under seal. In its Request, the Postal Service maintains 
that portions of the Agreement with prices, terms and conditions along 
with related financial information, and portions of the accompanying 
analyses that provide prices, or financial projections, should remain 
confidential. Id. at 2-3.
    In Order No. 207, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets, 
appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an 
opportunity to comment.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ PRC Order No. 207, Notice and Order Concerning Royal Mail 
Inbound Air Parcel Post Negotiated Service Agreement, April 27, 2009 
(Order No. 207).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 12, 2009, the Postal Service filed revised information 
relating to two changes that occurred subsequent to the filing of its 
Request.\7\ The first change corrects certain discrepancies in 
Transportation Cost Systems (TRACS) data filed by the Postal Service in 
Docket No. ACR2008. In the FY 2008 Annual Compliance Determination, the 
Commission found minor discrepancies in the TRACS data used to 
distribute FY 2008 highway transportation costs to a few international 
products. Revised Notice at 1-2. On April 30, 2009, the Postal Service 
filed corrected data in Library Reference USPS-FY08-NP37 in Docket No. 
ACR2008, explaining that the discrepancies were inadvertent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Notice of United States Postal Service of Filing Revised 
Information Under 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(1), May 12, 2009 (Revised 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The second change concerns a reduction in the inward land rates 
applicable for Universal Postal Union (UPU) air parcels tendered by 
foreign posts to the United States beginning on July 1, 2009.\8\ The 
reduction is due to the denial of a bonus payment to the Postal Service 
for the delivery of inbound UPU parcels starting July 1, 2009. The 
Postal Service believes that the denial is in error and is appealing 
it. In the interim, however, the Postal Service revised financial 
information showing effects of the reduced inward land rates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Inward land rates are charges posts pay each other for 
delivery of incoming parcels. The Postal Service indicates that 
inward land rates are based on a rate formula prescribed by the 
UPU's Postal Operations Council. Alternatively, countries may 
negotiate rates with other UPU members. Id. at 2, n.1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Postal Service concludes that the revised financial information 
does not adversely affect the cost coverage of the Royal Mail Agreement 
and the Agreement is still in compliance with all applicable statutory 
and regulatory requirements. Id. at 3.

II. Comments

    Comments were filed by the Public Representative,\9\ and Express 
Delivery and Logistics Association (XLA).\10\ The Postal Service filed 
a reply to the comments of XLA,\11\ and XLA filed reply comments to the 
Postal Service comments.\12\ The Public Representative filed reply 
comments to the revised Notice filed by the Postal Service.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Public Representative Comments in Response to United States 
Postal Service Request To Add Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post 
Agreement to the Competitive Product List, May 5, 2009 (Public 
Representative Comments).
    \10\ Comments of Express Delivery and Logistics Association 
Pursuant to PRC Order 207, May 5, 2009 (XLA Comments).
    \11\ Reply of the United States Postal Service to Comments by 
the Express Delivery and Logistics Association in Response to Order 
No. 207, May 6, 2009 (Postal Service Reply Comments).
    \12\ Final Reply of XLA to Reply by the United States Postal 
Service Pursuant to XLA's Comments Pursuant to PRC Order 207, May 7, 
2009 (XLA Reply Comments). XLA also filed an accompanying Motion of 
Express Delivery and Logistics Association for Late Acceptance of 
Comments on United States Postal Service Reply to XLA Comments on 
Order 207, May 7, 2009. The motion is granted.
    \13\ Public Representative Comments in Reply to the United 
States Postal Service Notice of Filing Revised Information Under 39 
CFR 3015.5(c)(1), May 20, 2009 (Public Representative Reply 
Comments). The Public Representative filed an accompanying Motion of 
the Public Representative for Late Acceptance of Reply to the United 
States Postal Service's Notice of Filing Revised Information Under 
39 CFR 3015.5(c)(1), May 20, 2009. The motion is granted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Public Representative states that the Postal Service's filing 
complies with applicable Commission rules of practice and procedure, 
and concludes that the Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement 
comports with the requirements of title 39. Public Representative 
Comments at 1 and 4. The Public Representative determines that the 
Postal Service has provided adequate justification for maintaining 
confidentiality in this case. Id. at 3. He also states that the 
Agreement appears beneficial to the general public. Id. at 1.
    The Public Representative also commented on the Postal Service's 
revised information, concluding that the instant Agreement appears to 
have more than adequate cost coverage. Public Representative Reply 
Comments at 2. As

[[Page 26791]]

a result, he maintains that the Agreement appears to be in compliance 
with 39 U.S.C. 3633.
    XLA's comments focus on section 407(e)(2) of title 39 regarding 
application of customs laws to shipments of competitive products by the 
Postal Service and similar shipments by private companies. XLA Comments 
at 1. XLA contends that the Postal Service has singular customs 
advantages for all international mail. It objects to adding the Royal 
Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement to the Competitive Products 
List. Id. XLA requests that the Commission reject the Postal Service 
request until a single customs clearance process has been adopted or, 
alternatively, condition approval of the request on Postal Service 
using the commercial custom clearance process applicable to competing 
inbound international parcel delivery services. Id. at 2.
    In its reply, the Postal Service contends that XLA raises similar 
claims to those filed by International Transit Solutions, Inc. to Order 
No. 141 regarding Docket No. MC2009-10. Postal Service Reply Comments 
at 1. It argues that the Commission has previously ruled that such 
comments (relative to customs issues) are outside the scope of the rate 
and classification proceedings. Id. at 1-2. Further, the Postal Service 
incorporates by reference its previous responses to the comments made 
by International Transit Solutions and, in addition, argues that this 
proceeding does not implicate customs procedures. Id. at 3.
    In its reply to the Postal Service, XLA contends that its comments 
are distinguishable from its earlier comments since it has not cited 
any regulatory advantages attributed to the Postal Service in the 
instant case. XLA Reply Comments at 1. XLA takes issue with Postal 
Service comments that section 407(e)(2) is being implemented and offers 
its view that the PAEA ``has interconnected parts [which] must be 
applied evenly and simultaneously as written''. Id. at 2.

III. 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 Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel 
Post Agreement to either the Market Dominant Product List or 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 Royal 
Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement as a product 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).
    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. It indicates that if it increases prices, it risks losing 
inbound United Kingdom-origin volume to a private competitor in the 
international shipping industry. Request, Attachment 1, para. (d). The 
Postal Service also contends that it may not decrease quality or output 
without risking the loss of business to competitors that offer similar 
international parcel delivery services. Id. It further states that this 
Agreement has been classified as competitive because of its exclusion 
from the letter monopoly and the level of competition in the relevant 
market. Id.
    The Postal Service notes that even though some incoming parcels 
subject to this Agreement may contain letters, the prices paid under 
the Agreement are six times the rate for the first ounce of a First-
Class Mail letter and are expected to weigh more than 12.5 ounces. Id. 
at para. (e). It also remarks that the Royal Mail Group and its 
customers find the terms and conditions of the Agreement satisfactory 
since it is aware of competitors offering similar services. Id. at 
para. (g). The Postal Service states that the market for expedited 
delivery services is highly competitive and the addition of the 
Agreement should have minimal if any impact on small business concerns. 
It observes that Royal Mail's small business customers will have an 
additional option for shipping articles to the United States and small 
businesses in this country will benefit from being able to receive 
shipments from the United Kingdom. Therefore, the Postal Service 
concludes the net impact on small business should be positive. Id. at 
para. (h).
    The Public Representative supports the proposed classification of 
Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement as a competitive product. 
Public Representative Reply Comments at 1.
    As noted above, XLA opposes adding the instant Agreement to the 
Competitive Product List on the grounds that the Postal Service 
receives preferential customs clearance processing. XLA Comments at 1. 
The issue raised by XLA is beyond the scope of this proceeding. The 
issues presented by the Postal Service's filing are whether the 
proposed Agreement is consistent with the policies of sections 3632, 
3633, and 3642 of title 39.\14\ The issue raised by XLA does not 
implicate changes to the Mail Classification Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Public Representative Comments at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Having considered the statutory requirements, the support offered 
by the Postal Service, and all comments, the Commission finds that the 
Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement is appropriately 
classified as a competitive product and should be added to the 
Competitive Product List.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ In Docket No. RM2007-1, the Commission previously accepted 
and considered comments from multiple parties (XLA included) on the 
categorization of classes of products, including outbound 
international mail. See PRC Order No. 43, Order Establishing 
Ratemaking Regulations For Market Dominant and Competitive Products, 
October 29, 2007. In that docket, XLA argued that outbound and 
inbound international mail should be categorized as competitive. Id. 
at 85.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cost considerations. The Postal Service presents a financial 
analysis showing that Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post results in 
cost savings while ensuring that the Agreement covers its attributable 
costs, does not result in subsidization of competitive products by 
market dominant products, and increases contribution from competitive 
products.
    Based on the data submitted, the Commission finds that the Royal 
Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post 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

[[Page 26792]]

(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 Royal Mail Inbound 
Air Parcel Post Agreement indicates that it comports with the 
provisions applicable to rates for competitive products.
    Other considerations. The Postal Service shall promptly notify the 
Commission of the termination date of the Agreement. If the Agreement 
terminates earlier than anticipated, the Postal Service shall inform 
the Commission prior to the new termination date. The Commission will 
then remove the product from the Mail Classification Schedule at the 
earliest possible opportunity.
    In conclusion, the Commission approves the Royal Mail Inbound Air 
Parcel Post Agreement as a new product. The revision to the Competitive 
Product List is shown below the signature of this Order and is 
effective upon issuance of this Order.
    It is Ordered:
    1. Royal Mail Inbound Air Parcel Post Agreement (MC2009-24 and 
CP2009-28) is added to the Competitive Product List as a new product 
under Priority Mail, Inbound Air Parcel Post.
    2. The Postal Service shall notify the Commission of the scheduled 
termination date and update the Commission if the termination date 
occurs prior to that date, as discussed in this Order.
    3. The Secretary shall arrange for publication of this order in the 
Federal Register.
