Each interrogatory 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 Susan M. Duchek 475 L’Enfant Plaza West, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20260-I 137 (202) 266-2990 Fax -6402 February 22,200O ‘RESPONSE OF UNITER STATES POSTAL SERVICE WITNESS VAN-TY-SMITH TO “‘?%I INiERROGATORlES TWIUSPS-Tl7-1 Please provide electronic spreadsheet (e.g., Excel) formats for all the tables presented in LR-I-106. tf an electronic spreadsheet format has already been provided for some or all of these tables, please identify all relevant files. RESPONSE TO TWIUSPS-T17-1. The excel spreadsheets of all the tables presented in LR-I-106 are contained in the diskette filed in USPS-LR-I-169. Note that Tables II-1 (A through C) in USPS-LR-I-106 correspond to Table 3 in my testimony, which can be obtained from the PRC website. RESPONSE OF UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE WITNESS VAN-TYSBllTH TO TW INTERROGATORIES TWIUSPS-Tl7-2 Please refer to the breakdown of Non-MODS clerk/mailhandler costs in Tables I4A and I-48 in LR-I-106. a. Please confirm that this breakdown was produced using IOCS tally information. If not confirmed, please identify all data and explain how they were used. b. Please name the SAS program(s) which produced the above mentioned tables and explain exactly where and under what file name(s) it (they) can be found. C. Please name the IOCS file used to produce these tables and explain under what file name and in what library reference it can be found. d. Besides uniform operatkmcodes, please explain precisely what IOCS data items were used to associate each non-MODS mail processing tally with individual pools. ,Please identify the fields of IOCS tally records that were used, the specific IOCS questions that those fields contain the answer to, and the logic applied to select the pool for each tally. 8. Precisely what characteristics of an IOCS tally causes it to be included in the MANF pool? What causes it to be included in the allied pool? f. For each mail processing Non-MODS cost pool specified in Tables 14A and l4B, please provide a further breakdown by mail processing uniform operation code. RESPONSE TO TWIUSPS-Tl7-2. a. Confirmed for Table I4A. For Table I-48, the breakdown of the costs is based on IOCS tally dollars. But the total costs which are applied to this breakdown are those described in formula (i) and (ii), page l-3, Part I of LR-I-196. b. The immediate SAS program which produced the above mentioned tables is NONMODI, lines 00070093-00935098, with Table I4A and Table I-48 identified as titles of SAS outputs at lines 00830098 and 00931098. The IOCS Non-MODS RESPONSE OF UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE WITNESS VAN-TY-SMITH TO fw INtERROGATORlES RESPONSE TO TWIUSPS-Tl7-2. (Cont’d) tally file used as input into the SAS program NONMODI is created by the SAS program MBC which partitions the SAS IOCS file into three temporary tally files, BMCSl, MODS1 and NONMODSl (see page 11-36,Part 2, USPS LR-I-106). The NONMODSI temporary tally file then serves as the NMOD input into the SAS program NONMODI (see line 00080093). Both SAS programs, NONMODI and MBC, are contained in the diskette filed in USPS LR-I-108. The JCL document, (which is also contained in the diskette filed in USPS LR-I-106) provides the set up and sequence for running the SAS programs. C. The IOCS SAS file used in Program MBC is the mainframe IOCS SAS file ‘ALB.HQTAL98.BYITEM.PRCALL’ listed in the JCL document contained in the diskette filed in USPS LR-I-106 (at line number 00120099). The PC SAS version of the IOCS mainframe SAS file is filed in USPS-LR-I-12 under the name ‘PRC98.SD2’. USPS-LR-I-12 also includes a flat file version of this data under the name ‘PRCFtAT.DAT.’ Both PC SAS and flat file versions of the IOCS are documented in Appendix H of USPS-LR-I-12. Please note that some minor modifications may be required for a mainframe SAS program to execute properly in a PC environment. RESPONSE OF UNITED STATE? POSTAL SERVICE WITNESS VAN-M-SMITH TW INTERROGATORIES TO RESPONSE TO TWIUSPS-Tl7-2. (Cont’d) d. The IOCS data items used to associate each non-MODS mail processing tally with individual pools and the logic applied to select the pool for each tally.are contained in the SAS program NONMODI (see the answer to b. above). They are also described on page 1147, Part II of USPS LR-I-198. The ‘PRC98.SD2 PC SAS file already contains the names of the fields of IOCS tally records that were used, as listed in NONMODI. To identify the same fields in the ‘PRCFLAT.DAT’ flat file, please see Appendix H of USPS-LR-I-12, which contains the program that writes the SAS file into a flat file and gives the field positions for the flat file. The specific IOCS questions that those fields contain the answer to and the value assignments for those fields are contained in Appendix A of USPS-LR-I-12. e. The responses to IOCS Question 19 are the basis for including the tallies in the MANF. The responses to IOCS Questions 19 and 16 are the basis for including the tallies in the ALLIED cost pool (see the answers to b. and d. above). For further details on these IOCS questions, please see Chapter 11 of Handbook F45, In-Office Cost System, Field Operating Instructions filed in USPS LR-I-14,. f. A further breakdown by mail processing uniform operation code of each mail processing Non-MODS cost pool specified in Tables I4A and I-48 is provided in the two tables attached to this response. . 1 Response to TW/USPS-T-17-29 TABLE I - IA TOTALNONMODS IOCS TALLY DOLLAR WEIGHTS BP MAIL PROCESSING POOLS AND BY IOCS OPBRATION CODKS MAIL PROC.

The breakdown of the LD41, LD43, LD44, LD48, LD49 and LD79 MODS cost pools into categories similar to the Non-MODS pools shown in Tables l4A and I4B is provided in the two tables attached to this response. The LD48 group includes the LD48 EXP, LD48- SSV and the lSUPP_F4 cost pools. b. This does not seem to be the case.
