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. 08-19)

November 12, 2008.

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 in the analysis provided by management in Attachment A and the prices and classification are shown in full in Attachment B. We have reviewed management's analysis and have evaluated the new prices and classification changes in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632-3633 and 39 CFR 3015.2. We approve the changes set forth in Attachment B, finding that they are appropriate, and are consistent with the regulatory criteria.

For Express Mail service, the overall increase is approximately 5.7 percent. In addition, the current Commercial Volume Incentives category, which provides quarterly rebates for commercial customers who mail specified volumes, is replaced by a Commercial Plus category that provides lower prices, rather than rebates, for customers meeting specified volume levels. Lower prices for customers paying postage online and through authorized payment methods are continued, and the classification is extended to allow customers paying through use of qualifying metered systems to be eligible for these lower prices.

For Priority Mail service, the overall price increase is 3.9 percent. A Commercial Plus category, similar to the one for Express Mail service, is added to Priority Mail service to provide lower prices for customers who mail specified volumes. A small flat-rate box is also added as a new Priority Mail option, in addition to the current regular and large flat-rate boxes. Incentives for customers paying postage online and through authorized payment methods are maintained and are being extended to customers paying through qualifying metered systems.

For Parcel Select service, the overall average price increase is 5.9 percent. Prices are designed to encourage dropshipping at destination delivery units, which are the facilities closest to the delivery point of the parcels.

For Parcel Return Service, prices have an overall increase of 5.3 percent. Prices are designed to encourage pickup at return delivery units, which are the facilities closest to entry of the returned parcels.

For Global Express Guaranteed service, the average price increase is 11.2 percent. Price increases vary by country group and weight increment. A lower online price remains available as does a lower price for customers paying through an authorized PC postage vendor. This lower price is now extended to qualifying customers paying postage through information-based indicia postage meters. Even with the overall price increase, this service should remain competitive.

For Express Mail International service, prices will increase, on average, by 8.5 percent. Price increases vary by country group and weight increment. A lower online price remains available, as does a lower price for customers paying through an authorized PC postage vendor. This incentive will now be made available to qualifying customers paying through information-based indicia postage meters. Also, incentives will continue for customers who pay their postage through either permit imprint or an Express Mail Corporate Account and who use authorized mail preparation software. The country group structure for this service is expanded from nine to ten country groups.

For Priority Mail International service, price increases, on average, are 8.5 percent. Different increases apply depending on the weight and country group. Prices are set to fit logically between Express Mail International and First-Class Mail International. Incentives to pay postage online or through an authorized PC postage vendor remain and will be extended to qualifying customers paying through information-based indicia postage meters. A lower price is maintained for customers who pay postage by permit imprint coupled with use of authorized mail preparation software. A small-size flat-rate box is also added as a new Priority Mail International shipping option. As with Express Mail International, the country group structure is expanded from nine to ten country groups.

For International Direct Sacks-M-Bags (Airmail M-Bags), prices rise about 8.0 percent. Prices remain weight-based and the country group structure is unchanged.

As described in Attachment A, these changes satisfy the statutory requirements. They should not result in the subsidization of competitive products by market dominant products (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). Each competitive product should cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)). They should allow competitive products as a whole to comply 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 total institutional costs.

Order

The changes in prices and classes set forth herein shall be effective at 12:01 a.m. on January 18, 2009. 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.

Alan C. Kessler,

Chairman.

Analysis of Competitive Products' Price and Classification Change

I. Express Mail

Overall the Express Mail price change represents a 5.7 percent increase. This balances the need to increase profitability while positioning Express Mail for growth. Customers embraced last year's shift to industry-standard, zone-based Express Mail pricing and the Postal Service benefited from its ability to charge a more market-driven price for Express Mail traveling more than 750 miles. The zoned Retail prices will be maintained this year with an average increase of 5.9 percent. The price for the Retail flat-rate envelope, almost half of all Express Mail volume, will increase by 6 percent to $17.50.

The existing Commercial Base price category is maintained for customers who use online and other authorized postage payment methods. The methods were previously specified, but the classification language is generalized to allow the price category to be extended to customers who use qualifying metered postage payment methods. The Commercial Base prices discount off retail prices increases from 3 to 5 percent, resulting in an average price increase of 3.7 percent.

A new Commercial Plus price category will replace the current Volume Incentives category, under which customers mailing specified volumes were eligible for quarterly rebates. The Commercial Plus category will make it easier for merchants to pass their savings in shipping costs on to their customers, since they do not have to wait until the end of a quarter to receive the incentive. Providing this faster incentive should help increase Express Mail revenue. Commercial Plus pricing will be offered to customers who ship 6,000 Express Mail pieces annually. This should allow the Postal Service to provide attractive incentives to higher volume customers. The new Commercial Plus prices will reflect a roll-in of the rebate to the upfront price. All customers who qualify for the new Commercial Plus prices would have received the maximum rebate previously, so essentially these customers will have no price increase.

II. Priority Mail

Overall, Priority Mail prices will increase by 3.9 percent. There is no change to the basic structure of the published Retail prices or Commercial Base prices. A new small size flat-rate box will be added. Retail prices will increase 4.7 percent.

Commercial Base pricing will offer on average a 4.8 percent discount off retail prices for customers using online and other authorized postage payment methods; such methods will be extended to include qualifying metered postage payment methods.

A new price category, Commercial Plus, will be available to customers who ship more than 100,000 Priority Mail pieces or more than 600 Priority Mail Open and Distribute containers annually. As with the similar Express Mail category, this new category will provide incentives for volume and revenue growth from higher volume customers. Commercial Plus prices are discounted on average 7 percent off Retail prices; this represents an average price increase of 1 percent from current Commercial Base prices.

III. Parcel Select

On average, Parcel Select prices will increase 5.9 percent. The average price increase for DDU entry is 4.7 percent, for DSCF 6.8 percent and for DBMC 9.1 percent. The higher than average price increase for DBMC parcels will increase DBMC margins and further encourage customers to bring packages to the DDU.

IV. Parcel Return Service

Parcel Return Service prices will have an overall price increase of 5.3 percent. RBMC prices will increase 7.1 percent, with no increase for RDU prices, which already provide healthy margins.

V. International Mail

In International shipping services, prices increase approximately 8.5 percent. Prices increase for Global Express Guaranteed (GXG), Express Mail International (EMI), Priority Mail International (PMI) and International Direct Sacks (M-Bags). The published discount program introduced in May 2008 for commercial package mailers will not change.

A. Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)

Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) provides reliable, high speed, date-certain service with a money-back delivery guarantee to more than 190 countries and is provided through an alliance with FedEx. Published GXG prices will increase 11.2 percent. The published online discount of 10 percent will continue for customers paying postage online or though authorized PC postage vendors, and will be extended to qualifying customers paying through information-based indicia postage meters. Price increases vary by country group and weight increments.

B. Express Mail International (EMI)

Express Mail International (EMI) provides reliable, high speed service to over 190 countries with a money-back delivery guarantee for selected countries. The published EMI prices increase an average of 8.5 percent. Price increases vary by country group and weight increments. In addition, due to increased costs, a separate rate group for Australia and New Zealand is added. Express Mail International (EMI) customers using Click-N-Ship or other online applications as well as those paying through authorized PC postage vendors will continue to pay 8 percent less than retail prices and this incentive will be extended to qualifying customers paying through information-based indicia postage meters. Customers who pay postage by permit imprint and use authorized mail preparation software also will continue to pay 8 percent less than retail. Customers who pay postage through an Express Mail Corporate Account and who use authorized mail preparation software will continue to pay prices 8, 10 or 12 percent lower than retail, depending upon annual volume or postage.

C. Priority Mail International (PMI)

Priority Mail International (PMI) is a reliable, cost-effective way to send merchandise and documents to over 190 countries. PMI prices are lower than EMI and higher than First-Class Mail International (FCMI). The published price for PMI will increase 8.5 percent, on average. Price increases vary by country group and weight increments. In addition, due to increased costs, a separate rate group for Australia and New Zealand is added. Priority Mail International customers using Click-N-Ship or other online applications as well as those paying through authorized PC postage vendors will continue to get a discount of 5 percent and this incentive will be extended to qualifying customers paying through information-based Indicia postage meters. Also, customers who pay postage by permit imprint and use authorized mail preparation software will continue to pay prices 5 percent less than retail.

The new small flat-rate box also will be available for international shipping, and will be priced at the same rate and meet the same size and content requirements as the Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope.

D. International Direct Sacks-M-Bags

International Direct Sacks-M-Bags (Airmail M-Bags) are direct sacks of printed matter and non-dutiable merchandise sent to one addressee with weight-based prices. The Airmail M-Bag prices will increase, on average, by 8.0 percent.

VI. Summary

As shown in the nonpublic annex, the price changes 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)).

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.]
