          Services).  UPS-General Services provides management services to            
          affiliates of UPS.  UPS-New York provides ground delivery

          region of the United States.  Within the United States,                     
          petitioner generally provided statewide intrastate service5 and             
          interstate service between all points in the States and the                 
          District of Columbia.6  Another subsidiary, UPS-Air, provided air           
          delivery service for packages traveling partially by air.                   
               Petitioner had 62 operating districts in the United States.            
          Each district had an operational and administrative staff and a

          district manager reported to 1 of 11 regional managers, who, in             
          turn, reported to the corporate headquarters.                               
               Generally, each package picked up by a UPS driver is                   
          delivered to a package operating center.  At each center,                   
          packages are unloaded from package cars and loaded onto trailers,           
          which haul the packages either directly to another center for
