USPWNDMS-m-15.
Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 18, footnote 20, where you state that the
“Commission subsequentlyrecommendedrates that imposed widely varying
percentageincreasesbetween rate cells.” Pleaseprovide the threshold of rate
differences beyond which percentageincreasesin rates are to be considered
“widely varying.”
The question you cite occurs in my discussionabout the procedure which the Postal
Service usesto project the volume in each rate cell, along with my proposed alternate
procedure. At the time I prepared my testimony, somepoints may have been left
implicit. The reason for my alternate procedure is to avoid the anomaloussituation
where higher rates in certain cells and lower rates in other cells result in higher volume
for the cells with disproportional increasesin rates. What I perhapsfailed to point out
explicitly is that the elasticity of demand also plays a role. To seetl’lis, consider the
extreme casewhere demand is totally inelastic. In that case, the projected volume
would be the same, regardlessof how the rate design allocated increasesto individual
cells. Thus, when I wrote about a “widely varying percentageincreasebetween rate
cells,” it would have been better to note that the rather different pementagechanges
recommendedby the Commission, coupled with the relatively high elasticity of demand
fir Priority Mail, were capable of resulting in widely varying outcomes.
Responseof Dr. John Haldi to USPSNDMS-T2-15
Page 2 of 3
Comparisonsof percentagechangesin different rate cells can be ma.dein at least two
ways. To illustrate, assumethat the rate in the “first” cell increasesby 15 percent, and
the rate in the “second” cell increasesby 3 percent. One way to view thesechangesin
rates is to say that the difference between the first and secondcells iis 12 percent (i.e.,
15 percent - 3 percent). Another way to view thesechangesin rate:; is to say that the
increasein the first cell is 5 times the increasein the secondcell. Etachof the above
comparisonshas merit, and helps put the percentagechangesin context. Call the
preceding example Scenario A.
Continuing, consider two other scenarios,with percentagerate changesas follows:
First rate cell
13%
36%
Second rate cell
1%
24%
In each of these two scenarios,the difference between the first rate cell and the second
rate cell is 12 percent. In scenario B, the increasein the first rate cell is 13 times the
increasein the secondrate cell, whereasin scenarioC the increase in the first rate cell
is only 1.5 times the increasein the secondrate cell.
Now let me endeavor a direct answer to the question posed. In view of the relatively
high elasticity of demand for Priority Mail, if pressedfor a definition of the term I
used, the threshold of rate differences beyond which percentageincreasesin rates could
reasonablybe considered widely varying are when (i) the difference in the percentage
Responseof Dr. John Haldi to USPYNDMS-T2-15
Page 3 of 3
increasesexceeds5 percent, AND (ii) the higher percentageincreaseexceeds1.5 times
the lower percentageincrease. Note that both of these threshold conditions need to be
exceededi.n order for percentagechangesto be consideredas “widely varying.”
Wholly irrespective of whether these rate increasesare “widely varying,” in the current
docket I urge that my alternative volume projection approach be adopted as the better
and more accurateapproach overall.

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 22, line 1, where you refer to the
Commission’s rates as increasing “considerably more” than the rates proposed
by the Postal Service in Docket No. R94- 1. Pleaseprovide the threshold of
difference in rate increasebeyond which such changesare to be considered
“considerably more.”
Actually, I said that in “some instances”(i.e., rate cells) the Commission recommended
rate increasesfor 5- to 70-pound Priority Mail which were “considerably more” than
the 10.4 percent averageincreaseproposed by the Postal Service in Docket No. R94-1.
SeeNDMS-T-2, p. 21, 1. 18 to p. 22 1. 1. For example, for 1.5~poundPriority Mail
sent to Zone 4, the Commission recommendeda 31 percent increase. This increaseis
not only “considerably more;” it is also “significantly higher” than the 10.4 percent
across-the-boardincreaseproposed by the Postal Service. Yet, due to the lower
average increaserecommendedby the Commission, using the standardprocedure for
projecting After Ratesvolumes, the Commission’s recommendedrate increaseresulted
in a higher volume estimate for 15-pound Priority Mail sent to Zone 4 than did the
Postal Service’s proposed increase. As I discussin the section of my testimony to
which you refer, such estimatesdefy logic.

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 22, line 3, where you refer to
“significantly” higher rates proposed by the Commission than proposed by the
Postal Service. Pleaseprovide the threshold of difference in rate increase
beyond which such changesare to be consideredto be “significantly” higher.

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 22, line 21, where you refer to growth
rates that “were strikingly different.” Pleaseprovide the threshold of difference
in growth rates beyond which such differences in growth are to be considered
“strikingly” different.
I have not developed any fixed threshold beyond which differences in growth rates
become “striking.” However, I was struck by the fact that 5-pound-and-under Priority
Mail grew at three times the rate of 6- to 70-pound Priority Mail, a mailer responseto
higher than average rates which is completely missedby the standardprocedure of
projecting after rates volumes basedon averageproposed increases.
It is perhaps worth noting that should this trend in growth of the twls weight groups of
Priority Mail continue at the samerate, by 2006 the share of 6- to 70-pound pieces in
total Priority Mail volume would decline by more than half, from 4.11 percent in FY
1996 to less than 2.00 percent, a striking reduction.
My dictionary defines “striking” as, inter alia, “noticeable or conspicuous,” and this is
the meaning I intended

USPSINDMS-T2-20
Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 38, line 8, where you refer to “extremely
wide averaging acrossall eight zones.” Pleaseprovide the threshold beyond
which you would consider averaging to be “extremely wide.”
Reswnse:
My discussionrefers to the fact that costs for unzoned Priority Mail are averagedover
every zone, from local through zone 8. There are alternative appro:aches.For
example, the Postal Service might have collapsed the existing six zones into three
different rates (e.g., up to 600 miles, 601 to 1,400 miles, and more than 1,400 miles).
Alternatively, the Postal Service might have averagedcosts and rates over only two
zones (e.g., up to 1,000 miles, and more than 1,000 miles). Instead, it averagedcosts
and rates over every possible zone; i.e., the maximum. Since there are no other zones
over which costs and rates could be averaged, I consider such averaging to be extremely
wide.
The word “extremely” is an adverb, derived from “extreme,” which is defined in the
Random House College Dictionary as
of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary; utmost
or exceedinglygreat in degree; farthest from the center or middle;
outermost; endmost.
Averaging costs and rates over any number of zonesless than the utmost, or maximum,
would be below the threshold of “extremely wide.”

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 22, lines 10 through 12, where you ask:
“Does elasticity apply to individual rate cells? That is, will higher-than-average
rate increasesin certain cells causea higher-than-averagereduction in volume in
thesecells?”
a.
Pleaseconfirm that the elasticity to which you refer is the ownprice elasticity. If you do not confirm, pleaseIexplainfully.

line 3.
a.
Pleaseprovide any and all analysesperformed by you of the total
market for servicessimilar to those provided by Priority Mail,
specifically noting the growth rates for the segmentof the market
serving items weighting more than five pounds and for the
segmentof the market serving items weighing less that five
pounds.
b.
If you are unable to provide information responsiveto part a,
pleaseexplain how you may confidently associatethe difference
in growth rates you have observed between the Priority Mail
volume over five pounds and the volume under five pounds to be
tied to the rate changesresulting from DocketsNo. R94-1.
C.
Have you performed any historical review to determine the
growth rates of Priority Mail volume above and below five
pounds separately? If so, pleaseprovide the results of such
analysis.
Reswnse:
(a)
I have performed no such analyses.
@)
Growth in different segmentsof the expedited delivery market (e.g., above and
below 5 pounds) is obviously the result of a number of different forces. It
would be desirable to have more data than have been made available by the
Postal Service in its interrogatory responses,as well as an analysis of those
data.
(c)
No.

a.
If your proposal increasesthe proportion of heavy weight Priority
Mail piecesand, therefore, the proportion of parcel shapeand
outside items, will this changein mail mix alter Priority Mail costs?
Pleaseexplain fully.
b.
If your responseto part a. was in the atlirmative, did you make any
attempt to adjustPriority Mail costs to reflect t:hischangedmail

costs elementsprovided in responseto UPS/USPS-T33-45. If you
did not make such adjustments,pleaseexplain fully why not.
Reswnse:
(a) and@)
In connection with its proposal to increasePriority Mail rates, the Postal
Service did not submit any data showing separatelythe cost of handling
Priority Mail parcels and outsides, vis-a-vis the cost of handling Priority
Mail “non-parcels” (i.e., letters, if any, and flats). However, testimony
of UPS witness Sellick (UPS-T-2) claims that Priority Mail parcels have
a unit cost that averages19.5 cents more than non-parcels. That
testimony was submitted on the sameday as my testimony.
UPS assertsthat within Priority Mail, costs should be redistributed with
the cost of non-parcels (most of which presumably weigh 2 pounds or
Responseof Dr. John Haldi to USPSINDMS-T2-23
Page 2 of 2
less) reduced, and the cost of parcels increased. The testimony of UPS
witness Luciani includes the following statement(UPS-T-4, page 44,
lines 9-16):
The 2.0 cents per pound adder for nontransportation costs in the Priority Mail rate
designbecomes4.0 cents per pound with the
contingency allowance and the institutional
cost markup included. USPS-33N. This
adder yields an additional 9.3 cents per piece
in the rates charged for the averagePriority
Mail parcel in comparison to the average
Priority Mail flat (4.0 cents per pound
multiplied by the 2.32 pound weight
difference between parcels and flats). This
additional chargeis significantly less than the
19.5 cents per piece mail processing cost
difference between flats and parcels
For Priority Mail pieces weighing 6- to 70pounds, the Postal Service
and I project TYAR volumes of 46,140,703 and 46,757,467 pieces,
respectively, using my alternate projection methodology in each case.
The difference amounts to 616,764 pieces. At an adllitional cost of 19.5
cents per piece, total costswould increaseby $120,269, or $121,472
including contingency. This is an increaseof 0.0057 percent over my
projected total cost of $2,141,759,376, including contingency. My
testimony did not attempt to adjust Priority Mail costs to reflect this
changed mail mix.

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 22, lines 15 through 17, where you state
that the current rates “are heavily weighted against heavier-weight zoned
parcels, most especially in Zone L,1,2,3, Zone 4, and Zone 5.” [Emphasis
original.] Pleasealso refer to your testimony at page 19 where you note that the
Postal Service’s proposed rates demonstratethat “invariably the highest
percentage increases are reserved for weights above 20 pounds shipped to
Zones 6, 7 and 8.” [Emphasis original.] Pleaseconfirm that:the zones which
you indicate have been most “heavily” targeted for increasesby the Postal
Service in this docket are not the zones most “heavily” targeted by the
Commission’s rate design in Docket No. R94-1. If you cannot confirm, please
explain fully.
Confirmed. The Postal Service has requestedPriority Mail rates in this docket which
would disproportionately raise rates for mailpiecesabove 20 pounds sent to Zones 6, 7
and 8. At the sametime, however, theseproposed rates do not mit:igatethe effects of
the Docket No. R94-1 rate increasesto Zones L, 1,2,3, Zone 4, and Zone 5. Instead,
they would raise those rates even further. Under the Postal Service’s proposal,
heavyweight Priority Mail’s burden of enabling lower-than-indicated rates for 2-poundand-under Priority Mail will therefore be spread more evenly acrossall of the zoned
rate cells.

a.
Pleaseprovide any and all analysesthat you have performed of the
relative rate changesexperiencedby shipperssendingitems
weighing lessthan and more than five pounds via servicesother
than the Postal Service.
b.
If you are unableto provide information in responseto part a,
pleaseexplain how you were able to determinethat rate changesby
competitors of the Postal Servicedid not influencethe growth rate
differencesyou have observed.
I have not analyzed relative rate changesexperiencedby shippersover any time
period such as, for example, from the Base Year in Docket No. R94-1 (FY93)
to the Base Year in Docket No. R97-1 (FY96). I have, however, compared
proposed Priority Mail rates with the published rates of the Postal Service’s
principal competitors. That comparison is attached.’ It is commonly accepted
that published rates are discounted, sometimessignificantly, to regular shippers.
Following are some highlights of this comparison.
.
The unzoned 2 and 3 pound Priority Mail rate are lower, to all zones,
than all competitors, including the UPS 3-day select Irate.
’ The sourcesfor the attached tables are: (1) Fe&x Service Guide, Rev. 7/97, Federal
Express Corporation (effective July 1, 1997); UPS Rate Ghan, Rev. 2/97, United Parcel
Service (effective February 1, 1997); and ‘Airborne ExpressRate Sheet for U.S. and Canadian
Shipments,” Airborne Express, June 5, 1997.
Responseof Dr. John Haldi to USPS/NDMS-T2-25
Page 2 of 3
.
The unzoned 2, 3, 4 and 5 pound Priority Mail rates are substantially
lower, to all zones (including zone 2) than the 2-day rates of every
competitor listed.
.
For parcels in excessof 18 pounds, UPS 3-day selecltpublished rat,es
are less than Priority Mail rates to all zonesbeyond zone 3. The
heavier the weight, the greater the rate difference. F’or example, a 70pound packageto zone 8 costs $15.40 more via Priority Mail than via
UPS 3-day select.
.
In comparison with FedEx and UPS published 2-day service, Priority
Mail zoned rates are generally lower to all zones, but the competitive
rate advantagegenerally diminishes as weight increases. Discounting
may eliminate Priority Mail’s rate advantagealtogether. (See my
responseto USPSNDMS-T2-29 for further discussiaoon this point).
.
Airborne’s published 2-day rate is unzoned, hence Airborne is not
competitive for close-in zones, while for packagesin excessof 23
pounds to zone 8, Airborne’s published 2-day rate is actually less than
the Priority Mail rate.
@)
The comparison of existing published rates with proposed Priority Mail rates is
generally similar to that which I observedin Docket No. R9’4-1. With moderate
discounting, Priority Mail’s competitive advantagewith published rates easily
disappearsor is reduced to a comparatively small rate advantage. Since Priority
Responseof Dr. John Haldi to USPYNDMS-T2-25

Mail provides lackluster, inconsistentperformance and a distinctly inferior
quality of service (see my testimony at pages69-70), shippers seeking reliable
expedited delivery have little reasonto use Priority Mail, except for
dropshipments to SCFs.

Pleaserefer to your footnote 25 on page 25 where you state: “No basisexistsfor
estimatingdifferent elasticitiesfor individual cells, nor is it necessaryto do so in
order to utilize the alternativeprocedureproposedhere.”
a.
Pleaseconfirm your understandingthat the own-price elasticity
estimatedby Dr. Musgrave for Priority Mail is basedon average
changesin rates and volumes, If you cannot confirm, pleaseexplain
flllly.
b.
Pleasecon6rm that such an estimatemay not hold for any particular
rate and volume changein any particular cell. If you cannot
confirm, pleaseexplainfully.

that estimateas if it holds for individual cells. If you cannot

Confirmed.
@)
Confirmed. If a better estimatewere to becomeavailable for any particular
cell, or for any particular subsetof cells, such better information should of
course be used. Until such better information is available, I recommend using
the own-price elasticity basedon averagechangesin rates and volumes, as
estimated by Dr. Musgrave. I would also note that the estimatesfor individual
cells developed under the existing procedure may not hold either, especially for
Responseof Dr. John HaIdi to USPSINDMS-T2-26

cells that experience somewhathigher-than-averagerate increases.
Confirmed. When rates changeby a uniform percentageamount (i.e., when
there is an across-the-boardpercentagerate increase)the existing procedure is
essentially no different than my proposed alternate procedure; i.e., the results
are the same. When rates do not changeby a uniform percentageamount, one
must either (i) use the existing procedure, which ignores totally rate design and
all differences in proposed percentagechangesin rates, no matter how great or
small such differences may be, or (ii) develop a better procedure which
recognizesdifferent percentagechangesand the effect which such changesmay
have on demand. Either procedure projects volumes cell-by-cell, and
multiplying the projected volumes in each cell times the proposed rates for each
cell results in a revenue projection. Revenuesprojected with my alternate
procedure are, in my opinion, more conservativeand more realistic.
Confirmed. The existing procedure for projecting volumes likewise assumes
that the volume in each cell is totally unaffected by rate changesin any other
cell, as well as the rate changefor the cell itself: My alternate procedure at
least is an improvement over this practice.

Pleaserefer to your footnote 27 on page 26 where you indicate that “it is a
straightforward exerciseto compute revisedcostsby multiplying TYAR volumes
in each cell by the cost in each cell.” Pleaseconfirm that such an exerciseassumes
that the costs are ILIly (100%) volume variable. If you cannot confirm, please
explain how you have taken into account the changesin unit costs which would
result as volume changes.
Reswnse:
Confirmed. The costs for each rate cell were computed on the basis of volume variable
costs. I am not aware that the estimatesof volume variable unit cos1.sfor Priority Mail
reflect either diseconomies,on the one hand, or economiesof scaleand scope, on the
other hand.

Pleaseprovide your estimateof the percent of Priority Mail weighing more than
five pounds that is dropshipmentPriority Mail, and indicate the source of your
figure.
I do not have a precise figure. However, in Docket No. R90-1, I aggregated
confidential data for my through-the-mail photofinisher clients and estimated that
perhaps one-quarter of al1 Priority Mail volume in excessof 25 pounds represented
dropshipment to SCFs. Since that time, I have becomeaware that other types of
businesses,such as Merck-M&o
and AARP, also use Priority Mail dropship for
products such as prescription drugs, but I am not privy to their volumes of Priority
Mail shipped nor have I updateddata on Priority Mail shipmentsfrommmy photofinisher

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 36, lines 15 through 17, where you state
the alleged failure to recognize worksharing in Priority Mail rates is “another
reason why heavier weight Priority Mail rates should be kept more competitive
with other providers of expedited delivery service.”

Pleaseprovide charts indicating the rates actually paid by
shippersof “heavier weight” items via competitors’ services
comparable to Priority Mail.
@)
Can such competitors’ servicesbe used for dropshipment?
For published rates of competitors servicescomparable to Priority Mail, see my
responseto USPS/NDMS-T2-25. Discounting from publishtedrates is generally
acknowledged to be widespread, and I do not have any data on “the rates
actually paid” by shippersof heavier weight items. I undersmndthat a discount
of at least 20 percent from published rates is common, with somelarge shippers
perhapsgetting even larger discounts. I have also seenadvertisementsstating
that use of the American Express Gold Card with FedEx will give the user a 20
percent discount from FedEx’s published rates. Also, membership in certain
associationsgets membersan automatic 10 percent reductionlin UPS Next Day
Air rates irrespective of volume.

It is my understanding that some firms can use and have used competitors’
servicesfor dropshipment, although this presentsextra administrative work for
the mailer.

a.
Pleaseindicate your belief asto the similarity or dissimiIarityof the
marketsfor servicesfor the three products listed above.
b.
Pleasereconcilethis statementwith your statementin your footnote
39 where you indicate that “Consolidation requirestime and results
in delaywhich is counter-productivefor shipperswho require
expedited service.”
The context of my comment was the Postal Service’s consistencyof the
treatment of transportation costs in rate design. I noted where the Postal
Service’s incorporation of transportation costs into its proposed third-class rates
in Docket No. R90-1 resulted in rates which were “only as high as is required to
cover the service provided.” (NDMS-T-2, p. 34, Il. l-9). Immediately above
the portion of testimony which you cite, I observe that this Gear and compelling
principle has never been applied by the Postal Service to Priority Mail.
As regards the market for thesepostal products, the market for delivery of
Periodicals (especially dailies and weeklies) and Priority Mail are similar in that
both groups of mailers want expedited, consistentand reliable delivery service
at an affordable price. At the sametime, affordability is probably more
important for Periodicals than it is for Priority Mail. The market for Standard
A differs insofar as mailers have more lead time, hence can plan ahead farther,
Responseof Dr. John HaIdi to USPSINDMS-T2-30
Page 2 of 2
and therefore place a higher premium on consistency,reliability and
affordability than they do on expedition.
The requirement for expedition gives a consolidator limited time to accumulate
the full loads that are necessaryto achieve low unit transportation cost through
full utilization of capacity. Thus while parcel consolidators have helped make
the Postal Service competitive with respect to parcel post, in the expedited
market, consolidator firms that might work cooperatively wi.th the Postal
Service simply do not exist.

Pleaserefer to your testimony at page 38 where you discussthe uniform increment
for eachadditional pound in the unzonedrates. Pleaseindicate your belief as to
whether the successof the unzoned rateswhich you have observedis due to the
fact that the differencebetweensuccessiverates is the sameamount, or the fact
that the rates are at even dollar amounts. Explain fully.
Reswnse:
In Docket No. R94- 1, I argued strongly in favor of uniform increments for Priority
Mail, which the Commission recommended. Although uniform rates (as we11as the
even dollar amounts) have doubflessbeen a factor in “the successof the unzoned rates,”
in all candor, most credit for the growth of the volume of unzoned Priority Mail must
go to the substantialrate advantageenjoyed by 2 to 5 pound Priority Mail packagesat
the expenseof zoned 6-70 pound Priority Mail (see my responseto USPSNDMS-T225). Looking only at the two factors which you mention, both the uniform increments
and even dollar amounts contribute to simplicity of rates. I do not know which was
more important. The combination of the two may also have been an important
contributory factor.
