    \1\ Notice of United States Postal Service of Amendment to 
Parcel Select Contract 6, With Portions Filed Under Seal, December 
9, 2013 (Notice).

    The Postal Service includes on attachment in support of its Notice:
     Attachment A--a redacted copy of the amendment to the 
existing Parcel Select Contract 6.
    The Postal Service also filed the unredacted amendment under seal. 
It asserts that the ``supporting financial documentation and financial 
certification initially provided in this docket remain applicable.'' 
Id. at 1. It also contends that the amendment ``will not materially 
affect the cost coverage'' of the product. Id. The Postal Service seeks 
to incorporate by reference the Application for Non-Public Treatment 
originally filed in this docket for the protection of customer-
identifying information that it has filed under seal. Id.
    The amendment modifies both the mythology for pricing applicable to 
the second year of the contract and the annual price adjustment 
provision used to calculate prices for the third year of the contract. 
Id. Attachment A at 1. In addition, the amendment alters the date on 
which the Postal Service must provide an updated price chart to the 
customer. Id.
