REVISED RESPONSE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO
PRESIDING OFFICER’S INFORMATION REQUEST NO. 6,
QUESTION 1 [ERRATA]
(August 3, 2006)
The United States Postal Service hereby provides a revised response to
Presiding Officer’s Information Request (POIR) No. 6, Question 1, issued June 22,
2006. Witness Tang (USPS-T-35) is sponsoring the response.
Revisions are limited to the attachment to the response, pages 2, 3, and 4. For
examples b and c, postage calculations have been revised to include the preferred rate
discount for Nonprofit and Classroom publications. For example d, Science of
Agriculture rates are used, instead of regular Outside County rates.
The question is stated verbatim and is followed by the response.
Respectfully submitted,
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
By its attorneys:
Daniel J. Foucheaux, Jr.
Chief Counsel, Ratemaking

RESPONSE OF POSTAL SERVICE WITNESS TANG
TO PRESIDING OFFICER’S INFORMATION REQUEST NO. 6
1.
Please provide current and proposed per-piece postage (including piece
charge, pound charge, and container charge) for the following publications.
Please specify all assumptions made concerning containers used, presort levels,
dropshipping, and any other assumptions used.
a.
A weekly news magazine with circulation of over 300,000 pieces
per issue and 50 percent editorial content.
b.
A monthly Nonprofit publication with circulation between 15,000
and 100,000 pieces per issue.
c.
A Classroom publication.
d.
A Science of Agriculture publication.
e.
A monthly Regular publication with 70 percent editorial content.
f.
Any Outside County publication with circulation of less than 5,000
pieces per issue.
g.
A Within County publication.
RESPONSE:
For each of parts (a) – (g), there could be a wide range of publications
with diverse mail characteristics. Assumptions (such as piece weight, editorial
content, piece distribution to various zones and presort levels, etc) have been
adopted to come up with an example for each publication. These postage
examples are calculated solely for illustrative purposes. One can expect to see
these characteristics in the types of publications listed above, but they are not
guaranteed to be average, and do not represent a specific publication.
Within some of the categories defined in Question 1, there can be
significant variation in publication characteristics. For example, publications with
a mail circulation less than 5,000 pieces include both publications of local interest
that are likely to have most pieces presorted to the 5-Digit or Carrier Route level
and entered at the DSCF, and publications of national interest that can only
achieve a presort level of ADC or 3-Digit. Because of the variation within these
categories, it is not possible to construct a typical or average publication.
The seven worksheets have been tabbed “a” to “g”, corresponding to the
parts in this request. All the assumptions are shown in the attached spreadsheet,
and the current and proposed postage calculations have been broken down to
pound postage, piece postage, discounts, and the container charge, as
requested.
