POSTAL SERVICE
Change in Rates and Classes of General Applicability for
Competitive Products
AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Notice of a change in rates of general applicability for
competitive products.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice sets forth changes in rates of general
applicability for competitive products for the USPS Loyalty Program.
DATES: Applicable date: August 1, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Reed, 202-268-3179.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 28, 2020, pursuant to their authority
under 39 U.S.C. 3632, the Governors of the Postal Service established
prices and classification changes for Priority Mail Express and
Priority Mail to implement a new USPS Loyalty Program. The Governors'
Decision and the record of proceedings in connection with such decision
are reprinted below in accordance with section 3632(b)(2).
Elizabeth Reed,
Attorney, Corporate and Postal Business Law.
Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on
Changes in Rates of General Applicability for Competitive Products
(Governors' Decision No. 20-2)
May 28, 2020
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''), we
establish new prices of general applicability for certain competitive
products, specifically Priority Mail Express and Priority Mail, and
such changes in classifications as are necessary to implement the new
prices. The changes are described generally below, with a detailed
description of the changes in the attachment hereto. The attachment
includes the draft Mail Classification Schedule sections with
classification changes in legislative format.
As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith,
the changes we establish should enable each affected 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 collectively to contribute a minimum of 9.1
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 are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632-3633 and 39 CFR
3015.2.
These price and classification changes implement a new Loyalty
Program for postal customers that ship Priority Mail Express and
Priority Mail packages via Click-N-Ship. Incentives are established for
both new and existing Click-N-Ship customers. The Loyalty Program is
designed to encourage small and micro businesses to use Click-N-Ship
and increase their shipping spend over the coming year. A portion of
the program is also designed to provide a credit to these customers who
experienced a volume decline as a result of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. The various incentives and tiers for the Loyalty Program are
set forth in the Mail Classification Schedule attachment.
Order
The changes in prices and classes set forth herein shall be
effective on August 1, 2020, or as soon as practicable thereafter. We
direct the Secretary to have this decision published in the Federal
Register in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2), and direct management
to file with the Postal Regulatory Commission appropriate notice of
these changes.
By The Governors:

Retail Dimensional Weight
In Zones 1-9 (including local), 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 166.
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 166, and
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.
Loyalty Program
Upon the initiation of the Loyalty Program, all USPS business
customers who use Click-N-Ship will be automatically enrolled in the

Commercial Base Dimensional Weight
In Zones 1-9 (including local), 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 166.
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 166, and
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Retail Dimensional Weight
In Zones 1-9 (including local), 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 166.
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 166, and
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Commercial Base Dimensional Weight
In Zones 1-9 (including local), 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 166.
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 166, and
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.

Commercial Plus Dimensional Weight
In Zones 1-9 (including local), 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 166.
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 166, and
multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0.785.
