I. Introduction
On December 19, 2008, the Postal
Service filed a formal request pursuant
to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30
et seq. to add Express Mail & Priority
Mail Contract 3 to the Competitive
Product List.1 The Postal Service asserts
that the Express Mail & Priority Mail
Contract 3 product is a competitive
product "not of general applicability"
within the meaning of 39 U.S.C.
3632(b)(3). Request at 1. The Request
has been assigned Docket No. MC2009-
13. 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. CP2009-17.
Request. The Request incorporates (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

Establishment of Rates and Class Not of General
Applicability, December 19, 2008 (Request).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 Express Mail &
Priority Mail Contract 3 to the
Competitive Product List. Id. at 1-2.
In the statement of supporting
justification, Kim Parks, 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 D. Thus, Ms. Parks
contends there will be no issue of
subsidization of competitive products

redacted Decision of the Governors of the United
States Postal Service on Establishment of Rate and
Class Not of General Applicability for Express Mail
and Priority Mail Services (Governors' Decision No.
08-23). The Governors' Decision includes an
attachment which provides an analysis of the
proposed Express Mail and Priority Mail Contract
3 and certification of the Governors' vote.

contract. Attachment C shows the requested
changes to the Mail Classification Schedule product
