DECISION OF THE GOVERNORS OF THE UNITED S TATES POSTAL SERVICE ON CHANGES
IN RATES OF G ENERAL APPLICABILITY FOR C OMPETITIVE PRODUCTS (GOVERNORS'
DECISION No. 16-7)
October 11, 2016
STATEMENT OF EXPLANATION AND JUSTIFICATION
Pursuant to authority under section 3632 of title 39, as amended by the Postal
Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 ("PAEA"), I 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
classification changes in legislative format, and new prices displayed in the price charts.
As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith, the changes I establish
should enable each competitive product to cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C.
§ 3633(a)(2)) and should resu lt in competitive products as a whole complying with
39 U.S.C. § 3633(a)(3), which, as implemented by 39 C.F.R. § 3015.7(c), requires
competitive products collectively 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 )). I therefore
find that the new prices are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. §§ 3632-3633 and 39 C.F.R. §
3015.2.
Governors' Decision No. 16-7 Page 2
I. Domestic Products
A. Priority Mail Express
Overall, the Priority Mail Express price change represents a 3.4 percent increase. The
existing structure of zoned Retail, Commercial Base, and Commercial Plus price
categories is maintained, with Commercial Base and Commercial Plus prices continuing
to be set equal to each other.
Retail prices will increase an average of 3.7 percent. The price for the Retail Flat Rate
Envelope, a significant portion of all Priority Mail Express volume, is increasing to
$23.75. The prices for the Retail Flat Rate Envelope, Padded Flat Rate Envelope, and
Legal Flat Rate Envelope will have differentiated prices for 2017.
The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers who use online
and other authorized postage payment methods. The Commercial Base prices will
increase 2.4 percent on average. Commercial Base prices will be set at a f lat 11.2
percent discount off of Retail prices.
The Commercial Plus price category has traditionally offered even lower prices to large
volume customers. However, recognizing that the Postal Service is at a competitive
disadvantage in the marketplace by publishing these highly discounted prices that are
viewable by all customers, Commercial Plus prices were matched to the Commercial
Base prices in 2016 and will continue to be in 2017. For January, Commercial Plus
prices as a whole wi ll receive a 2.3 percent increase on average.
B. Priority Mail
On average, the Priority Mail prices will be increased by 3.9 percent. The existing
structure of Priority Mail Retail, Commercial Base, and Commercial Plus price categories
is maintained.
Retail prices will increase an average of 3.3 percent. Retail Flat Rate Box prices will be:
Small, $7.15; Medium, $13.60; Large, $18.85 and Large APO/FPO/DPO, $17.35. Thus,
the Large APO/FPO/DPO Flat Rate Box will be $1.50 less than the Large Flat Rate Box.
The regular Flat Rate Envelope will be priced at $6.65, with the Legal Size and Padded
Flat Rate Envelopes priced at $6.95 and $7.20, respectively.
Governors' Decision No. 16·7 Page3
The Commercial Base price category offers lower prices to customers using authorized
postage payment methods. The Commercial Base prices will increase 4.1 percent on
average. Commercial Base prices will, on average, reflect a 13.6 percent discount off of
Retail prices.
The Commercial Plus price category has traditionally offered even lower prices to large
volume customers. For January, Commercial Plus prices as a whole will receive a 4.5
percent increase and will average 16.8 percent off Retail prices.
C. Parcel Select
On average, prices for destination-entered non-Lightweight Parcel Select, the Postal
Service's bulk ground shipping product, will increase 4.9 percent. For destination
delivery unit (DDU) entered parcels, the average price incre.ase is 4.9 percent. For
destination sectional center facility (OSCF) destination entered parcels, the average
price increase is 4.8 percent. For destination network distribution center (DNDC)
parcels, the average price increase is 5.0 percent. Prices for Parcel Select Lightweight
will increase by 8.0 percent. Parcel Select Ground will see a 2.7 percent price increase.
D. Parcel Return Service
Parcel Return Service prices will have an overall price increase of 5.5 percent. Prices
for parcels retrieved at a return Sectional Center Facility (RSCF) will increase by 5.8
percent, and prices for parcels picked up at a return delivery unit (RDU) will increase 5.2
percent.
E. First-Class Package Service
First-Class Package Service continues to be positioned as a lightweight (less than one
pound) offering used by businesses for fulfillment purposes. Overall, First-Class
Package Service prices will increase 4.1 percent.
F. Retail Ground
Retail Ground prices will increase 3.8 percent. Customers shipping in Zones 1-4 wi ll
continue to receive Priority Mail service and will only default to Retail Ground if the item
contains hazardous material or is otherwise not permitted to travel by air transportation.
Governors' Decision No. 16-7 Page4
G. Domestic Extra Services
Premium Forwarding Service (PFS) prices will increase 3.8 percent in 2017. The retail
counter enrollment fee will increase to $19.35. The online enrollment option, introduced
in 2014, will now be available for $17.75. The weekly reshipment fee wil l increase to
$19.35. New for 2017, for PFS Commercial , Priority Mail Express or Priority Mail
shipments can be dispatched in bulk at a flat rate for full and half trays. Prices for Adult
Signature service will increase to $5.90 for the basic service and $6.15 for the person
specific service. Address Enhancement Service prices will be increasing between 1.9
and 7.9 percent depending on the particular rate element, to ensure adequate cost
coverage. Additionally, the TIGER/ZIP+4 price category will be retired because of low
usage. Competitive Post Office Box prices will be increasing 6.5 percent on average,
which is within the existing price ranges. Package Intercept Service will increase 3.2
percent, to $12.95. The Pickup On Demand fee , which has not increased since 2013,
will increase to $22.00 for 2017.
II. International Products
A. Expedited Services
International expedited services include Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) and Priority
Mail Express International (PMEI). Overall , GXG prices will rise by 4.9 percent, and
there will be no changes in prices for PMEI. Commercial Plus prices will be equivalent
to Commercial Base; however, deeper discounting may still be made available to
customers through negotiated service agreements.
Customers would also benefit from a new classification change. Weight-rated items
tendered at retail counters may be offered at prices equivalent to Priority Mail
International (PM!) for certain destinations and weight steps, if all PMEI eligibility
requirements are met and the Postal Service determines that service can be improved
and/or the PMEI destination country delivery costs are lower than PMI destination
country delivery costs.
Governors' Decision No. 16-7 Page 5
8. Priority Mail International
There will be no changes in prices for Priority Mail International (PMI). Commercial Plus
prices will be equivalent to Commercial Base; however, deeper discounting may still be

Retail Balloon Price
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.

2600 Special Services * * * 2605 Address Enhancement Services 2605.1 Description
Address Enhancement Services ensures that address elements and address lists are correct and up-to-date. In addition to providing software or information about ZIP Code lists, addresses, or moves, the services also include certifying systems to ensure that the proper address information is used. Some services allow the purchaser or licensee to make unlimited copies or to make additional copies for a fee. AEC (Address Element Correction)
AEC service identifies and corrects bad or incomplete addresses
using enhanced computer logic.
AMS API (Address Matching System Application Program Interface)
AMS API is a core set of compiled address-matching software instructions that developers incorporate into their software so that address lists can be updated with address data from the following databases, which are integrated into the AMS-API: City State, ZIP + 4, Five-Digit ZIP, eLOT, DPV, and LACSLink.
For an additional fee, a developer may install the AMS-API on multiple
computers for its own use. Additional fees are charged if the developer wants to resell its address-matching software. Developers, for an additional fee, may obtain computer software instructions that permit the API to access the RDI data when licensed separately. Additional fees are charged if the developer wants to resell RDI-API (Residential Delivery Indicator Application Program Interface).
TIGER/ZIP + 4 (Topological Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing)
The Topological Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing
(TIGER/ZIP + 4) service is a bridge file that allows mailers to access other information using the ZIP + 4 codes they already have associated with their addresses. This file offers demographers and market researchers a method to relate ZIP + 4 coded address lists to Census Bureau demographic data.

COMPETITIVE PRODUCT CONTRIBUTION & COST COVERAGE ANALYSIS
Competitive Product Contribution Calculation
APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE FOR NON-PUBLIC TREATMENT OF MATERIALS
In accordance with 39 C.F.R. § 3007.21, the Postal Service hereby applies for
non-public treatment of the attributable cost, contribution, and cost coverage data in the
unredacted version of the annex to Governors’ Decision No. 16-7, as well as the
supporting materials for those data, which include disaggregated product volume,
weight, and revenue distribution information by price cell. The materials consist of
spreadsheets that contain calculations to determine the weighted average price
increase and cost coverage for each competitive product within the scope of this docket.
The Postal Service hereby furnishes the justification required for this application by
each subsection of 39 C.F.R. § 3007.21(c), as enumerated below. For the reasons
discussed, the Postal Service asks that the Commission grant its application for non-
public treatment of the identified materials. The Postal Service is concurrently filing
redacted versions of these files, where it has determined redactions to be practicable.
(1) The rationale for claiming that the materials are non-public, including the specific statutory basis for the claim, and a statement justifying application of the provision(s);
The materials designated as non-public consist of information of a commercial
nature, which under good business practice would not be publicly disclosed. In the
Postal Service’s opinion, this information would be exempt from mandatory disclosure
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. § 410(c)(2) and 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(3) and (b)(4).1 Because the
1 In appropriate circumstances, the Commission may determine the appropriate level of confidentiality to be afforded to such information after weighing the nature and extent of the likely commercial injury to the Postal Service against the public interest in maintaining the financial transparency of a government establishment competing in commercial markets. 39 U.S.C. § 504(g)(3)(A). The Commission has indicated that “likely commercial injury” should be construed broadly to encompass other types of injury, such as harms to privacy, deliberative process, or law enforcement interests. PRC Order No. 194, Second Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Establish a Procedure for According Appropriate Confidentiality, Docket No. RM2008-1, Mar. 20, 2009, at 11.
2
portions of the materials which the Postal Service is applying to file only under seal fall
within the scope of information not required to be publicly disclosed, the Postal Service
asks the Commission to support its determination that these materials are exempt from
public disclosure and grant its application for their non-public treatment.
(2) Identification, including name, phone number, and email address for any third-party who is known to have a proprietary interest in the materials, or if such an identification is sensitive, contact information for a Postal Service employee who shall provide notice to that third party;
The Postal Service believes that Canada Post may have a proprietary interest in
information included in some of the materials submitted. The Postal Service has
already informed Canada Post through its bilateral with Canada Post, of the nature and
scope of this type of filing and Canada Post’s ability to address its confidentiality
concerns directly with the Commission. The Postal Service identifies Terry Dunn,
General Manager, International Relations, Canada Post Corporation, as the appropriate
contact on behalf of Canada Post. Mr. Dunn’s telephone number is (613) 734-8894, and
his email address is [email protected]. Canada Post requests that any
communications regarding confidential treatment of these data be sent with a courtesy
copy to Ewa Kowalski, Director, International Mail Settlement, Canada Post
Corporation. Ms. Kowalski’s telephone number is (613) 734-6201, and her email
address is [email protected]
2 In the event of a request for early termination of non-public treatment under 39 C.F.R. § 3007.31, a preliminary determination of non-public status under 39 C.F.R. § 3007.32, or a request for access to non-public materials under 39 C.F.R. § 3007.40, the Postal Service notes, on Canada Post’s behalf, that differences in the official observation of national holidays might adversely and unduly affect Canada Post’s ability to avail itself of the times allowed for response under the Commission’s rules. In such cases, Canada Post has requested that the Postal Service convey its preemptive request that the Commission account for such holidays when accepting submissions on matters that affect Canada Post’s interests. A listing of Canada’s official holidays can be found at
3
The Postal Service also believes that FedEx Express may have a proprietary
interest in some of the data concerning Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) in the
materials submitted.3 The Postal Service will undertake to inform FedEx Express, in
compliance with 39 C.F.R. § 3007.20(b), of the nature and scope of this filing and its
ability to address its confidentiality concerns directly with the Commission. The Postal
Service identifies James H. Ferguson, Corporate Vice President, Customer and
Business Transactions, FedEx Corporation & General Counsel, FedEx Corporate
Services, Inc., as the appropriate contact on behalf of FedEx Express. Mr. Ferguson’s
telephone number is (901) 434-8600, and his email address is [email protected].
(3) A description of the materials claimed to be non-public in a manner that, without revealing the materials at issue, would allow a person to thoroughly evaluate the basis for the claim that they are non-public;
The redacted information consists of the projected FY 2017 attributable cost,
contribution, and cost coverage for each competitive product that is the subject of this
docket. The Postal Service has filed information concerning the calculations used to
develop the weighted average price increase by product and cost coverage. Protected
information in the spreadsheets includes volume and revenue by price cell (weight
increment and zone or country group), as well as product-specific cost data and other
supporting data. Such information for competitive product categories is commercially
sensitive at the disaggregated, cell-specific level shown in the spreadsheets.
https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/kb/details.page?article=find_out_operating_h&cattype=kb&cat=sending&subcat=generalinformation. 3 Although FedEx Express might have a proprietary interest in data reflecting volume or weights for GXG, the Postal Service maintains that the Postal Service is the only party with a proprietary interest in revenue data reflecting GXG transactions between the Postal Service and its customers.

(4) Particular identification of the nature and extent of commercial harm alleged and the likelihood of such harm;
If competitors of the Postal Service were to have access to this information, they
would likely focus their marketing and price cutting efforts on the Postal Service’s most
profitable products. This will lead to erosion of contribution of these products through
lost sales and/or the need to lower prices to compete. Postal product cost and
contribution information would provide suppliers of postal transportation and other
services with information they could use to seek higher rates for services they provide.
This would lead to higher postal costs and loss of contribution. Although the extent of
the commercial harm is difficult to quantify, given that Shipping Services is a multi-billion
dollar enterprise, even a small change in market share, prices, or costs could lead to
millions of dollars in lost revenue, higher costs, and lower contribution margins. It is
highly likely that if this information were made public, the Postal Service’s competitors
and suppliers would take advantage of it almost immediately.
Competitors could use the product-specific revenue, pieces, and weight
information to analyze the Postal Service’s possible market strengths and weaknesses
and to focus sales and marketing efforts on those areas, to the detriment of the Postal
Service. Disclosure of this information would also undermine the Postal Service’s
position in negotiating favorable terms with potential customers, who would be able to
ascertain critical information about relevant product trends (e.g., average revenue per
piece, average weight per piece).
Disclosure would also expose Canada Post, as well as other customers to the
same competitive harms to the extent that a category is associated with a single
customer or a small group of customers. The Postal Service considers these to be
5
highly probable outcomes that would result from public disclosure of the material filed
nonpublicly. Disclosure of statistical and cost information about GXG could limit the
ability of FedEx Express, a counterparty to a strategic alliance with the Postal Service,
to negotiate effectively and could allow competitors to analyze the traffic for a
competitive advantage against FedEx Express. The more disaggregated nature of the
product information in the international context, and the relatively small numbers
associated with information make the international data particularly vulnerable to
analysis and use by competitors.
(5) At least one specific hypothetical, illustrative example of each alleged harm;
Identified harm: Competitors could use product cost, contribution, or cost
coverage information to assess vulnerabilities and focus sales and marketing efforts to
the Postal Service’s detriment.
Hypothetical: Cost, contribution and/or cost coverage information is released to
the public and available to a competitor. The competitor assesses the profitability of
certain services based on the data released. The competitor then targets its advertising
and sales efforts at actual or potential customers in market segments where the Postal
Service has substantial contribution, thereby hindering the Postal Service’s ability to
maintain these customers.
Identified harm: Competitors could use disaggregated product volume, weight,
and revenue distribution information to assess vulnerabilities and focus sales and
marketing efforts to the Postal Service’s detriment, and also during negotiations with the
Postal Service.
Hypothetical: Disaggregated revenue, volume, and weights contained in the
6
Nonpublic Annex are disclosed to the public. Another delivery service’s employee
monitors the filing of this information and passes it along to the firm’s sales and
marketing functions. The competitor assesses the profitability of certain services on a
per-piece or per-pound basis or the Postal Service’s relative concentration in certain
service offerings. The competitor then targets its advertising and sales efforts at actual
or potential customers in market segments where the Postal Service appears to have
made headway, hindering the Postal Service’s ability to reach out effectively to these
customers. In addition, a foreign postal operator’s employee could monitor the filing of
this information and pass the information along to the international postal relations
functions of that foreign postal operator. The foreign postal operator assesses the
Postal Service’s average per-item revenue for categories about which it is negotiating
with the Postal Service. Accurately or not, the foreign postal operator uses the average
revenue information as a justification for pricing demands in negotiations. The Postal
Service’s ability to negotiate suffers as a result.
Identified harm: Public disclosure of information contained in the Nonpublic
Annex associated with international delivery services provided in arrangement with
specific third parties would be used by those parties’ competitors to their detriment.
Hypothetical: A competitor of Canada Post, such as a competing international
delivery service, obtains information contained in the Nonpublic Annex. The competitor
uses the information to assess the market potential and, as a baseline, to negotiate with
other parties to develop lower-cost alternatives and undermine the foreign postal
operator’s market offerings. The same scenario could apply with respect to comparable
information for FedEx Express concerning GXG.

(6) The extent of protection from public disclosure deemed to be necessary; The Postal Service maintains that the redacted portions of the materials filed
non-publicly should be withheld from persons involved in competitive decision-making in
the market for domestic parcel shipping products and in the market for international
delivery products (including both private sector integrators and foreign postal operators),
as well as their consultants and attorneys. Additionally, suppliers of transportation or
other services to the Postal Service that affect costs for competitive services should not
have access to these materials; this restriction should include their consultants and
attorneys. Also, the Postal Service believes that foreign postal operators, as well as
actual or potential customers of a postal operator for this or similar products should not
be provided access to the non-public Excel worksheets.
(7) The length of time deemed necessary for the non-public materials to be protected from public disclosure with justification thereof; and
The Commission’s regulations provide that non-public materials shall lose non-
public status ten years after the date of filing with the Commission, unless the
Commission or its authorized representative enters an order extending the duration of
that status. 39 C.F.R. § 3007.30.
(8) Any other factors or reasons relevant to support the application. None.
Conclusion For the reasons discussed, the Postal Service asks that the Commission grant its
application for non-public treatment of the identified materials.
