I. Introduction
On August 10, 2021, the Postal Service filed notice pursuant to 39
CFR 3035.105, announcing its intention to change prices not of general
applicability for Inbound EMS 2 effective January 1, 2022.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Notice of the United States Postal Service of Filing Changes
in Rates Not of General Applicability for Inbound EMS 2, and
Application for Non-Public Treatment, August 10, 2021, at 1
(Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Contents of Filing
To support its proposed Inbound EMS 2 prices, the Postal Service
filed a redacted version of the proposed new rates, a copy of the
certification required under 39 CFR 3035.105(c)(2), a redacted copy of
Governors' Decision No. 19-1, a redacted copy of the most recent annual
EMS Pay-for-Performance (PfP) Plan (for 2022), a redacted copy of the
most recent available EMS Cooperative Report Cards for Calendar Year
(CY) 2020, and a redacted list of countries expected to participate in
PfP in CY 2022.\2\ The Postal Service states that the financial
workpapers that accompany the Notice include penalties incurred, if
any, from the most recent (pre-pandemic) year and that all PfP
penalties are applied in the financial workpapers and all lost revenue
is deducted accordingly, as directed by Order No. 5660.\3\

Changes in Prices Not of General Applicability for Inbound EMS 2,

because penalties were waived in CY 2020 and for CY 2021 in light of
