SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On October 19, 2010, pursuant to their authority under 39 U.S.C. 3632, the Governors of the Postal Service established prices and classification changes for competitive products. The Governors' Decision and the record of proceedings in connection with such decision are reprinted below in accordance with section 3632(b)(2).

Neva R. Watson,

Attorney, Legislative.

Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on Changes in Rates and Classes of General Applicability for Competitive Products (Governors' Decision No. 10-4)

October 19, 2010

Statement of Explanation and Justification

Pursuant to our authority under section 3632 of title 39, as amended by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (“PAEA”), we establish new prices of general applicability for the Postal Service's shipping services (competitive products), and such changes in classifications as are necessary to define the new prices. The changes are described generally below, with a detailed description of the changes in the attachment. The attachment includes the draft Mail Classification Schedule sections with changes in classification language in legislative format, and new prices displayed in the price charts.

As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith, the changes we establish should enable each competitive product to cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)) and should result in competitive products as a whole complying with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3), which, as implemented by 39 CFR 3015.7(c), requires competitive products to contribute a minimum of 5.5 percent to the Postal Service's institutional costs. Accordingly, no issue of subsidization of competitive products by market dominant products should arise (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). We therefore find that the new prices and classification changes are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632-3633 and 39 CFR 3015.2.

I. Domestic Products

A. Express Mail

Overall, the Express Mail price change represents a 4.6 percent increase. The existing structure of zoned Retail, Commercial Base and Commercial Plus price categories is maintained.

Retail prices will increase an average of 5.0 percent. The price for the Retail Flat Rate Envelope, a significant portion of all Express Mail volume, will remain the same at $18.30.

The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers who use online and other authorized postage payment methods. The Commercial Base prices will remain the same.

The Commercial Plus price category offers even lower prices to large-volume customers. The threshold for Commercial Plus customers will be reduced from 6,000 to 5,000 Express Mail pieces in the previous four quarters. Commercial Plus prices will decrease on average by 5.0 percent.

B. Priority Mail

Overall, Priority Mail prices will increase by 3.5 percent. In addition to the existing Retail, Commercial Base, and Commercial Plus price categories, new price categories for the Regional Rate Box and Critical Mail are being introduced.

Retail prices will increase an average of 3.9 percent. Flat Rate Box prices will be: Small, $5.20; Medium, $10.95; Large, $14.95; and Large APO/FPO/DPO, $12.95. A new Legal Size Flat Rate Envelope and Padded Flat Rate Envelope will be offered, both priced at $4.95 at retail.

The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers using online and other authorized postage payment methods. The average price increase for Commercial Base will be 3.2 percent.

The Commercial Plus price category offers even lower prices to large-volume customers. The threshold for Commercial Plus customers will be reduced from 100,000 to 75,000 Priority Mail parcel pieces (cumulative letters, flats, parcels) in the previous calendar year. The threshold for Commercial Plus customers will be reduced from 100,000 to 5,000 Priority Mail letter-size and flat-size pieces in the previous calendar year. This includes all USPS-produced Priority Mail envelopes (letters and flats) and customer-supplied envelopes (Letters and Flats) with the exception of the Padded Flat Rate Envelope. Customers who ship more than 600 Priority Mail Open and Distribute containers annually will also qualify for Commercial Plus. The average price increase for Commercial Plus will be 2.0 percent.

C. Parcel Select

On average, prices for Parcel Select, the Postal Service's bulk ground shipping product, will increase 4.4 percent. For destination entered parcels, the average price increases are 8.0 percent for parcels entered at a destination delivery unit (DDU), 0.2 percent for parcels entered at a destination plant (DSCF) and 0.6 percent for parcels entered at a destination Network Distribution Center (DNDC). For nondestination-entered parcels, the average price increases are 9.8 percent for origin Network Distribution Center (ONDC) presort, 7.7 percent for Network Distribution Center (NDC) presort, and 7.6 percent for barcoded nonpresort.

D. Parcel Return Service

Parcel Return Service prices will have an overall price increase of 3.1 percent. Prices will increase 0.9 percent for parcels picked up at a return Network Distribution Center (RNDC) and 8.0 percent for parcels picked up at a return delivery unit (RDU).

E. Domestic Extra Services

Premium Forwarding Service prices will increase 5.0 percent. The weekly reshipment fee will increase to $14.75. On average, Address Enhancement Service prices will increase 5.0 percent. The 49 Post Office Box locations recently added to the competitive product list are designated under a new fee group, C1.

II. International Products

A. Expedited Services

International expedited services include Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) and Express Mail International (EMI). Overall, GXG prices will rise by 3.7 percent, and EMI will be subject to an overall 3.1 percent increase. Classification changes include the introduction of postage payment via permit indicia for GXG, the introduction of a legal-sized Express Mail International Flat Rate Envelope, seven new country groups for EMI, and the elimination of Express Mail Corporate Account published discounts, as well as published discounts for users of Information-based Indicia (IBI) devices for both EMI and GXG. The elimination of the latter two services are necessary to create incentives for the use of electronic customs transmission. Return receipt service will also be eliminated as an option for EMI, as it is only available to a limited number of destinations. Finally, prices for EMI Flat Rate Envelopes would combine Mexico with the “All Other Countries” price tier.

B. Priority Mail International

The overall increase for Priority Mail International (PMI) will be 3.8 percent. The existing structure of PMI will remain the same. Classification changes include the introduction of several new flat rate options, seven new country price groups, and the elimination of published discounts for users of Information-based Indicia (IBI) devices.

C. International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift

Published prices for the commercial international Shipping Services, which include International Priority Airmail (IPA) and International Surface Air Lift (ISAL), will have an overall increase of 4.4 percent, with IPA prices increasing by 3.3 percent, and ISAL prices increasing by 6.4 percent. Prices for IPA and ISAL M-Bags will remain the same.

D. Airmail M-Bags

The published prices for Airmail M-Bags will increase by 5.8 percent.

E. International Ancillary Services

Prices for paper money orders and EMI and PMI insurance will be increased. Classification changes include the elimination of the unique price tier for Canada when optional insurance is purchased for Priority Mail International parcels; previously, the fee for insurance to Canada was less. With this change, all insurance fees for Priority Mail International parcels will be the same.

Order

The changes in prices and classes set forth herein shall be effective at 12:01 a.m. on January 2, 2011. We direct the Secretary to have this decision published in the Federal Register in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2). We also direct management to file with the Postal Regulatory Commission appropriate notice of these changes.

By The Governors.

Louis J. Giuliano,

Chairman.

Retail Balloon Rate

In Zones 1-4 (including local), parcels weighing less than 20 pounds but measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth (but not more than 108 inches) are charged the applicable price for a 20-pound parcel.

Retail Dimensional Weight

In Zones 5-8, parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.

For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 194.

For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 194, and multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Commercial Plus Balloon Rate

In Zones 1-4 (including local), parcels weighing less than 20 pounds but measuring more than 84 inches in combined length and girth (but not more than 108 inches) are charged the applicable price for a 20-pound parcel.

Commercial Plus Dimensional Weight

In Zones 5-8, parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the actual weight or the dimensional weight, whichever is greater.

For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 194.

For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 194, and multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.
