SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2014, pursuant to their authority

Attorney, Legal Policy & Legislative Advice.

Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on 
Changes in Rates of General Applicability for Competitive Products 
(Governors' Decision No. 14-03)

June 18, 2014

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 price changes for the Postal Service's 
shipping services (competitive products), specifically for Priority 
Mail. 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 changes in 
classification language in legislative format, and new prices displayed 
in the price charts.
    The existing structure of Priority Mail Retail, Commercial Base, 
and Commercial Plus price categories is maintained. Prices in the 
ground zones (Zones 1-4) and heavier weights (6-20 pounds) will be 
adjusted to enhance Priority Mail's strategic position in the market. 
Retail prices will have an average prices increase of 1.7 percent. 
Commercial Base prices will have an average price decrease of 0.9 
percent, while Commercial Plus prices will have an average price 
decrease of 2.3 percent. Price decreases will be targeted to attract 
ground volume in the six- to twenty-pound weight cells.
    As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith, 
the changes we establish should enable each competitive product to 
cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. Sec.  3633(a)(2)) and should 
result in competitive products as a whole complying with 39 U.S.C. 
Sec.  3633(a)(3), which, as implemented by 39 C.F.R. Sec.  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. Sec.  3633(a)(1)). We therefore find that the 
new prices and classification changes are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 
Sec. Sec.  3632-3633 and 39 C.F.R. Sec.  3015.2.

Order

    The changes in prices set forth herein shall be effective at 12:01 
a.m. on September 7, 2014. We direct the Secretary to have this 
decision published in the Federal Register in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 
Sec.  3632(b)(2). We also direct management to file with the Postal 
Regulatory Commission appropriate notice of these changes.
    By The Governors:

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.

Commercial Base 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.

Commercial Base 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 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.

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.
