SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On June 29, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a formal request pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. 

to add Priority Mail Contract 14 to the 

Competitive Product List.1 The Postal 

Service asserts that Priority Mail 

Contract 14 is a competitive product 

‘‘not of general applicability’’ within the 

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

1. The Request has been assigned 

Docket No. MC2009–30. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product 

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

CFR 3015.5. The contract has been 

assigned Docket No. CP2009–40. 

Request. The Request includes (1) A 

redacted version of the Governors’ 

Decision authorizing the new product; 

(2) a redacted version of the contract; (3) 

requested changes in the Mail 

Classification Schedule product list; (4) 

a statement of supporting justification as 

required by 39 CFR 3020.32; and (5) 

certification of compliance with 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a).2 Substantively, the 

Request seeks to add Priority Mail 

Contract 14 to the Competitive Product 

List. Id. at 1–2. 

In the statement of supporting 

justification, Mary Prince Anderson, 

Acting Manager, Sales and 

Communications, Expedited Shipping, 

asserts that the service to be provided 

under the contract 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 C. Thus, Ms. Anderson 

contends there will be no issue of 

subsidization of competitive products 

by market dominant products as a result 

of this contract. Id. 

Related contract. A redacted version 

of the specific Priority Mail Contract 14 

is included with the Request. The 

contract is for 3 years and is to be 

effective 1 day after the Commission 

provides all necessary regulatory 

approvals. The Postal Service represents 

that the contract is consistent with 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a) and 39 CFR 3015.7(c). 

See id., Attachment D. 

The Postal Service filed much of the 

supporting materials, including the 

specific Priority Mail Contract 14, under 

seal. In its Request, the Postal Service 

maintains that the contract and related 

financial information, including the 

customer’s name and the accompanying 

analyses that provide prices, terms, 

conditions, and financial projections 

should remain under seal. Id. at 2–3. 

II. Notice of Filings 

The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. MC2009–30 and CP2009–40 for

14 product and the related contract,
