SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On July 21, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a notice announcing that it has 

entered into an additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 1 (GEPS 1) 

contract.1 GEPS 1 provides volumebased incentives for mailers that send 

large volumes of Express Mail 

International (EMI) and/or Priority Mail 

International (PMI). The Postal Service 

believes the instant contract is 

functionally equivalent to previously 

submitted GEPS 1 contracts, and is 

supported by the Governors’ Decision 

filed in Docket No. CP2008–4.2 Notice at 

1. It further notes that in Order No. 86, 

which established GEPS 1 as a product, 

the Commission held that additional 

contracts may be included as part of the 

GEPS 1 product if they meet the 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, and if 

they are functionally equivalent to the 

initial GEPS 1 contract filed in Docket 

No. CP2008–5.3 Notice at 1. 

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contract 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that the 

contract is in accordance with Order No. 

86. The Postal Service states that the 

instant contract replaces the contract for 

the customer in Docket No. CP2008–13, 

which will end on August 31, 2009. Id. 

at 2. It submitted the contract and 

supporting material under seal, and 

attached a redacted copy of the contract 

and certified statement required by 39 

CFR 3015.5(c)(2) to the Notice as 

Attachments 1 and 2, respectively. Id. at 

1–2. The term of the instant contract is 

1 year from the date the Postal Service 

notifies the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. 

The Notice advances reasons why the 

instant GEPS 1 contract fits within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS 1. The Postal Service asserts 

that the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to the GEPS 1 contracts filed 

previously. It states that in Governors’ 

Decision No. 08–7, a pricing formula 

and classification system were 

established to ensure that each contract 

meets the statutory and regulatory 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633. The 

Postal Service contends that the instant 

contract demonstrates its functional 

equivalence with the previous GEPS 1 

contracts because of several factors: The 

customers are small or medium-sized 

businesses that mail directly to foreign 

destinations using EMI and/or PMI, the 

contract term of 1 year applies to all 

GEPS 1 contracts, the contracts have 

similar cost and market characteristics, 

and each requires payment through 

permit imprint. Id. at 4. It asserts that 

even though prices may be different 

based on volume or postage 

commitments made by the customers, or 

updated costing information, these 

differences do not affect the contracts’ 

functional equivalency because the 

GEPS 1 contracts share similar cost 

attributes and methodology. Id. at 4–5. 

The Postal Service also identifies 

several other contractual differences 

including provisions that clarify the 

availability of other Postal Service 

products and services, exclude certain 

flat rate products from the mail 

qualifying for discounts, simplify 

mailing notice requirements, modify 

mail tender locations, clarify the 

mailer’s volume and revenue 

commitment in the event of early 

termination, and modify the original 

GEPS 1 agreement to reflect changes 

unrelated to the mailers or negotiations 

of either party’s obligations under the 

agreement. Id. at 5–6. 

The Postal Service states that these 

differences related to a particular mailer 

are ‘‘incidental differences’’ and do not 

change the conclusion that these 

agreements are functionally equivalent 

in all substantive aspects. Id. at 6. 

The Postal Service requests that this 

contract be included within the GEPS 1 

product. Id. at 7. 

The Postal Service maintains that 

certain portions of the contract and 

certified statement required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2), names of GEPS 1 

customers, related financial 

information, portions of the certified 

statement which contain costs and 

pricing as well as the accompanying 

analyses that provide prices, terms, 

conditions, and financial projections 

should remain under seal. Id. at 3.
