Introduction On December 9, 2013, the Postal Service filed notice that it has agreed to an amendment to the existing Priority Mail Contract 29 subject to this docket. 1 The Postal Service includes one attachment in support of its Notice: 1 Notice of United States Postal Service of Amendment to Priority Mail Contract 29, With Portions Filed Under Seal, December 9, 2013 (Notice). • Attachment A—a redacted copy of the amendment to the existing Priority Mail Contract 29.
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 makes three changes.
First, it changes the duration of the contract from three to five years after the effective date. *Id.* Attachment A at 2. Second, the amendment allows two 90-day extensions of the contract if the preparation of a successor agreement is active and the Commission is notified within at least seven days of the contract's expiration date. *Id.* at 3. Finally, it provides pricing for the fourth year of the contract as well as an annual adjustment provision which calculates prices during the fifth year of the contract. *Id.* at 2.
II.
