Introduction
The Postal Service seeks to add a new product, Canada Post-United
States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound
Competitive Services, to the Competitive Product List. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission approves the Request.
-
Background
On November 25, 2009, the Postal Service filed a formal request pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq. to add the Canada
Post-United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for
Inbound Competitive Services (Bilateral Agreement or Agreement) to the
Competitive Product List.\1\ The Postal Service asserts that the
Bilateral Agreement is a competitive product ``not of general applicability'' within the meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). This
Request has been assigned Docket No. MC2010-14.
\1\ Request of United States Postal Service to Add Canada Post-
United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for
Inbound Competitive Services to the Competitive Product List and
Notice of Filing (Under Seal) the Enabling Governors' Decision and
Agreement, November 25, 2009 (Request).
The Postal Service contemporaneously filed notice, pursuant to 39
U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR 3015.5, that the Governors have established prices and classifications not of general applicability for inbound competitive services as reflected in the Bilateral Agreement.
More specifically, the Bilateral Agreement, which has been assigned
Docket No. CP2010-13, governs Inbound Parcel Post and Xpresspost-USA from Canada.
The Postal Service acknowledges an existing bilateral agreement with Canada Post for inbound competitive services, which is set to expire at the end of calendar year 2009. Id. at 3. The Postal Service asserts that the proposed MCS language in Docket No. MC2010-14
``resembles the language'' for the existing bilateral agreement and that the differences ``reflect changes to certain operational details'' including a reclassification of Canada Post's ``Xpresspost-USA'' product from a market dominant product to a competitive product. Id.
The Commission reviewed and approved that bilateral agreement in Docket
Nos. CP2009-9 and MC2009-8. The Commission had previously approved the
``Xpresspost-USA'' product as a market dominant product in Docket No.
MC2009-7.\2\ Qualifying that approval, however, the Commission noted that ``Xpresspost exhibits characteristics of a competitive product.''
Id. at 7.
\2\ Docket No. MC2009-7, Order Concerning Bilateral Agreement with Canada Post for Inbound Market Dominant Services, December 31, 2008 (Order No. 163).
In support of its Request, the Postal Service filed the following materials: (1) A redacted version of the Governors' Decision including proposed MCS language, a management analysis of the Bilateral
Agreement, certification of compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a), and certification of the Governors' vote;\3\ (2) a Statement of Supporting
Justification as required by 39 CFR 3020.32;\4\ (3) a redacted version of the agreement;\5\ and (4) an application for non-public treatment of pricing and supporting documents filed under seal.\6\ Request at 2.
\3\ Attachment 1 to the Request.
\4\ Attachment 2 to the Request.
\5\ Attachment 3 to the Request.
\6\ Attachment 4 to the Request. The Postal Service erroneously noted in its Request that an Attachment 5 which contained the application for non-public treatment was filed. The application for non-public treatment is Attachment 4; there is no Attachment 5.
The Bilateral Agreement covers parcels arriving in the United
States by surface transportation rather than air. Governors' Decision
No. 09-16.\7\ The Bilateral Agreement also covers Xpresspost, a
Canadian service for documents, packets, and light-weight packages. Id.
The Bilateral Agreement allows Canada Post to tender surface parcels and Xpresspost to the Postal Service at negotiated prices rather than the default prices set by the Universal Postal Union. Id. The Bilateral
Agreement is effective January 1, 2010 and continues until December 31, 2011. Id., Attachment 3, at 7.
\7\ See Attachment 1 to the Request.
In the Statement of Supporting Justification, Lea Emerson,
Executive Director, International Postal Affairs, asserts that ``[t]he addition of the [Bilateral] Agreement as a competitive product will enable the Commission to verify that the agreement covers its attributable costs and enables competitive products, as a whole, to make a positive contribution to coverage of institutional costs.'' Id.,
Attachment 2, at 2. Joseph Moeller, Manager, Regulatory Reporting and
Cost Analysis, Finance Department, certifies that the contract complies with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). Id., Attachment 1, Attachment C. He observes that the Bilateral Agreement ``should not impair the ability of competitive products on the whole to cover an appropriate share of institutional costs.'' Id.
In Order No. 351, the Commission gave notice of the two dockets, appointed a public representative, and provided the public with an opportunity to comment.\8\

Agreement with Canada Post for Inbound Competitive Services,

person submitted comments. The Public Representative states the Postal
Service's Request comports with the applicable provisions of title 39.
Id. at 1. He also states that the Postal Service's Request comports with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3632 and 39 CFR 3015. Id. at 1-2.
\9\ Public Representative Comments in Response to United States
Postal Service Request to Add Canada Post-United States Postal
Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Competitive Services to the Competitive Products List, and Notice of Filing Agreement and
Enabling Governors' Decision (Under Seal), December 15, 2009 (Public
Representative Comments). The Public Representative filed an accompanying Motion of the Public Representative for Late Acceptance of Comments in Response to United States Postal Service Request to
Add Canada Post-United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral
Agreement for Competitive Services to the Competitive Product List,
December 15, 2009. The motion is granted.
The Public Representative states that the Bilateral Agreement is in compliance with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). He asserts that the Postal Service has provided adequate justification for maintaining confidentiality in this case. Id. at 2-3. Additionally, the Public
Representative states that the Bilateral Agreement satisfies the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 in that it will not allow market dominant products to subsidize competitive products, ensures each competitive product covers its attributable costs, and enables competitive products as a whole to cover their costs and contribute a minimum of 5.5 percent to the Postal Service's total institutional costs. Id. at 2. He also indicates that the Postal Service has complied with 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3020. Id. The Public Representative relates that he has reviewed the supporting documentation filed under seal, and the Bilateral Agreement offers provisions favorable both to the Postal Service and the general public. Id. at 3.

Commission Analysis
The Commission has reviewed the Request, the Agreement, the financial analysis filed under seal, and the comments filed by all parties.
Statutory requirements. The Commission's statutory responsibilities in this instance entail assigning the Bilateral Agreement to either the
Market Dominant Product List or to the Competitive Product List. 39
U.S.C. 3642. As part of this responsibility, the Commission also reviews the proposal for compliance with the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act (PAEA) requirements. This includes, for proposed competitive products, a review of the provisions applicable to rates for competitive products. 39 U.S.C. 3633.
Product list assignment. In determining whether to assign the
Bilateral Agreement to the Market Dominant Product List or the
Competitive Product List, the Commission must consider whether ``the
Postal Service exercises sufficient market power that it can effectively set the price of such product substantially above costs, raise prices significantly, decrease quality, or decrease output, without risk of losing a significant level of business to other firms offering similar products.'' 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(1). If so, the product will be categorized as market dominant. The competitive category of products shall consist of all other products.
The Commission is further required to consider the availability and nature of enterprises in the private sector engaged in the delivery of the product, the views of those who use the product, and the likely impact on small business concerns. 39 U.S.C. 3642(b)(3).
In Docket No. RM2007-1, Order No. 43, the Commission determined that Inbound Surface Parcel Post shipments tendered at negotiated rates are appropriately classified as competitive.\10\ The Bilateral
Agreement falls within this category.
\10\ Docket No. RM2007-1, Order Establishing Ratemaking
Regulations for Market Dominant and Competitive Products, October 29, 2007 (Order No. 43).
The Postal Service asserts that its bargaining position is constrained by the existence of other shippers who can provide similar services, thus precluding it from taking unilateral action to increase prices or decrease service without the risk of losing volume to private companies. Request, Attachment 2, at 2-3. It also contends that the
Agreement relates to the exchange between the Postal Service and Canada
Post of Inbound Surface Parcel Post at negotiated prices which it has determined to be a competitive product because of its exclusion from the letter monopoly and the level of competition in the market for these services. Id. The Bilateral Agreement also includes Xpresspost, which the Postal Service asserts should be a competitive product for essentially the same reasons. Id. at 3. The Postal Service states that for both products, the Agreement provides adequate incentive for Canada
Post and its shipping customers to tender volume to it rather than a competitor. It contends that it may not increase prices without the risk of losing inbound Canada-origin volume to a private competitor in the international shipping industry. Id.
The Postal Service asserts that the underlying parcel services are excluded from the Private Express Statutes' prohibition on private carriage of letters over post routes. Id., para. (e). It also contends that Xpresspost is excluded from the Private Express Statutes' prohibition. Id. The Postal Service states that the rates payable under the Agreement are more than six times higher than the current price of a one-ounce, First Class letter, and it presumes that a competitor could also offer prices exceeding this comparison rate. Id. The Postal
Service also mentions that the determination that Xpresspost is competitive is consistent with its study and deliberations on the appropriate classification of the service as a result of the
Commission's comments in Order No. 163. Id. at 2.
Finally, the Postal Service states that the market for international parcel delivery services is highly competitive, and the
Bilateral Agreement provides a benefit to Canada Post's and the Postal
Service's small business customers by providing an additional option for shipping articles between the United States and Canada. It concludes that there should be little, if any, negative impact on small business. Id. at 4-5.
In the instant Agreement, Xpresspost is classified as a competitive product for the first time. This reflects a change from the 2009 bilateral agreement with Canada Post. For purposes of the 2009 agreement, Xpresspost was subsumed within the market dominant product inbound Air Letter Post i.e., Air Letters and Cards (Air LC)).\11\ In reviewing that agreement, the Commission determined that Xpresspost, a
Canada Post service for documents and merchandise, ``exhibits characteristics of a competitive product...[that] appears to parallel domestic Priority Mail.''\12\ See Order No. 163 at 7. The Commission concluded that Xpresspost should be classified as a competitive product. Id.
\11\ See Request of United States Postal Service to Add Canada
Post-United States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound Market-Dominant Services to the Market-Dominant Product
List, Notice of Type 2 rate Adjustment, and Notice of Filing
Agreement (Under Seal), November 13, 2008.
\12\ See Docket No. MC2009-7 R2009-1, PRC Order No. 163, Order
Concerning Bilateral Agreement with Canada Post for Inbound Market
Dominant Services, December 31, 2008, at 7.
The Commission concurs with the Postal Service's decision to classify Xpresspost as a competitive product. Request, Attachment 2, at 6.
No commenter opposes the proposed classification of the Bilateral
Agreement as competitive. Having considered the statutory requirements and the support offered by the Postal Service, the Commission finds that the Bilateral Agreement is appropriately classified as a competitive product and should be added to the Competitive Product
List.
Page 6110
The Postal Service's filing seeks to establish a new product for
Inbound competitive services. The Postal Service notes that the
Commission observed in the FY 2007 and FY 2008 Annual Compliance
Determination that revenues for inbound Surface Parcel Post at non-UPU rates did not cover its attributable cost during those fiscal years.
Id., Attachment 2, at 5. It asserts that the negotiated rates in the instant Bilateral Agreement are an improvement over the 2009 rates and include an adjustment in the second year of the Bilateral Agreement to maintain cost coverage. Id.
Data issues. The Postal Service's filing is responsive to the
Commission's concerns representing an improvement over the existing rates. The Postal Service uses FY 2008 costs rather than FY 2009 costs to forecast unit costs for Inbound Surface Parcel Post and Xpresspost during the contract period, CY 2010 and CY 2011. When forecasting unit costs, the use of more recent data is preferable. In response to
Chairman's Information Request No. 1,\13\ the Postal Service states that it was unable to provide FY 2009 processing, delivery, and
``other'' unit costs, or FY 2009 domestic air and surface transportation costs per kilogram, notwithstanding that its Request was filed in FY 2010.\14\ The use of FY 2008 rather than the more recent FY 2009 costs necessitates relying on Global Insight indices to inflate FY 2008 costs for 3 years i.e., CY 2009, CY 2010, and CY 2011) instead of 2 years i.e., CY 2010 and CY 2011), and may produce less accurate forecasts than desirable. In subsequent filings, the Commission requests the Postal Service to submit the most recent supporting data available even if it is unaudited, in addition to the most recent ACD data.
\13\ Chairman's Information Request No. 1, December 10, 2009
(CHIR No. 1).
\14\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing
Responses to Chairman's Information Request No. 1 and Revised
Financial Documentation, December 16, 2009, Questions 7 and 8. In addition, the Postal Service filed Notice of the United States
Postal Service of Filing Response to Chairman's Information Request
No. 1, Question 8, on December 11, 2009. An accompanying Motion for
Late Acceptance of Response to Chairman's Information Request No. 1,
Question 8 was filed December 11, 2009. The motion is granted.
The Postal Service's financial model also reveals that for CY 2010,
Xpresspost merchandise will incur the cost of scans for Signature
Confirmation. For CY 2011, however, the Postal Service does not include the cost of Signature Confirmation scans in its model. Rather, it uses the cost of Delivery Confirmation scans. The effect on costs of using
Delivery rather than Signature Confirmation scans in CY 2011 is dramatic. The cost associated with Xpresspost merchandise scans decrease more than 84 percent between CY 2010 and CY 2011, resulting in a slight reduction in CY 2011 total costs for Inbound Surface Parcel
Post and Xpresspost, as compared to CY 2010.
The Postal Service explains that the use of Delivery Confirmation scan costs reflects a planned change in its process of capturing signatures.
Postal Service revenues can be adversely affected if certain
``targets'' for delivery service and scanning are not met. During each year of the Bilateral Agreement, the Postal Service is not expected to receive the maximum revenues available because it fails to meet such
``Pay for Performance'' targets. Request at 2. See WP-Canada Bilateral-
Comp-IB-06, WP-Canada Bilateral-Comp-IB-07, WP-Canada Bilateral-Comp-
IB-08, and WP-Canada Bilateral-Comp-IB-09. This occurs because of an increase in the targets for delivery, and the absence of any improvement in the Postal Service's delivery service and scan performance during the contract. The Commission encourages the Postal
Service to improve its performance in order to generate additional revenue and improve cost coverage.
Based on the data submitted and the comments received, the
Commission finds that the Bilateral Agreement should cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)), should not lead to the subsidization of competitive products by market dominant products (39
U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)), and should have a positive effect on competitive products' contribution to institutional costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3)).
Thus, an initial review of the proposed Bilateral Agreement indicates that it comports with the provisions applicable to rates for competitive products.
Other considerations. The Postal Service shall, no later than 30 days after the effective date of the new contract, provide cost, revenue, and volume data associated with the current contract.
The Postal Service submitted the Bilateral Agreement which has not been executed by the parties. The Postal Service is directed to file the executed Bilateral Agreement with the Commission within 30 days of execution.
The Postal Service shall promptly notify the Commission if the
Bilateral Agreement terminates earlier than its proposed term, but no later than the actual termination date. The Commission will then remove the Bilateral Agreement from the Mail Classification Schedule at the earliest possible opportunity.
In conclusion, the Commission approves the Canada Post-United
States Postal Service Contractual Bilateral Agreement for Inbound
Competitive Services as a new product. The existing contract will be removed from the Competitive Product List. The revision to the
Competitive Product List is shown below the signature of this order and will be effective January 1, 2010.
