applicability for IITDS. Request at 1. To support its Request, the
Postal Service filed a copy of the Governors' Decision authorizing the
product, proposed changes to the Mail Classification Schedule, a
Statement of Supporting Justification, a certification of compliance
with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a), and an application for non-public treatment of

Delivery Service to the Competitive Product List, Notice of
Establishment of Classifications and Rates Not of General

The Postal Service seeks to add IITDS to the competitive product
list as part of the International Ancillary Services product. Id. at 3,

Union (UPU) and will be set at 0.4 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) per

an additional 0.75 SDR per item on the basis of performance of
electronic transmission of tracking information. Id. at 3. The Postal
Service states that IITDS provides foreign postal operators UPU default
rates for the tracked service and that IITDS' inclusion on the
competitive product list would not preclude the Postal Service from
exchanging tracked items with foreign postal operators pursuant to
negotiated rates set forth in multilateral or bilateral agreements. Id.
at 3-4.
