ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Postal Service, after considering comments on its proposal to change international postal rates, fees, and mail classifications, is implementing the new published prices and mailing standards. The Postal Service may negotiate customized prices and mailing standards. DATES: Effective Date: 12:01 a.m. on May 14, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Obataiye B. Akinwole, 202-268-7262; Tom Philson, 202-268-7355; or Janet Mitchell, 202-268-7522. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 20, 2006, the Postal Service published in the Federal Register (71 FR 76230) a notice of proposed international product and pricing initiatives. That notice proposed a major redesign of international products, including changes in published prices and supporting mail classifications. The redesign included two main features: First, we proposed to more closely align international products with their domestic counterparts for ease of use and added value to our customers. We merged eight mailing options into four new alternatives by combining products with overlapping service standards and prices. We renamed the international products to mirror comparable domestic product names. Table 1 outlines our restructured products. The realignment merges all economy services including Publishers' Periodicals and Books and Sheet Music into categories with better service. Mailers who previously mailed their publication at Publishers' Periodicals rates may now apply meter postage to each copy, or for bulk mailings, use a permit imprint on the copies and submit a printed PS Form 3700, Postage Statement EM--International Mail.

See retail associate for money-back guarantee details. \2\ Average delivery times may vary based upon origin and destination. \3\ Insurance is not available for the Priority Mail International flat- rate envelope. Customers will be able to use the familiar expedited domestic packaging supplies for their expedited international shipments. We are also adding the popular flat-rate envelope option for Express Mail International, maintaining the flat-rate envelope option for Priority Mail International, and adding the flat-rate box option for Priority Mail International. In this final rule, we note the maximum weight limit for the Priority Mail International flat-rate box will be 20 pounds or the country specific maximum, whichever is less. In addition, we now offer more specific delivery time and tracking information to major destinations. The second main feature of the redesign is an increase in published international prices by an average of 13 percent. This increase is necessary due to cost increases that occurred during a price freeze from January 2001 through January 2006. We requested comments on our proposed rule and received 37 comments before the January 19, 2007, closing date. In response to requests from book mailers, we extended the comment period to February 2 and received an additional 28 comments. We included 5 comments received past the February 2 date. In total, we received comments from one industry association, two mailing agents, three equipment service providers, fifty-five mailers, and four individuals. We summarize the three major categories of comments and respond in items 1 through 3, below. 1. Price Changes for Bulk Letter Services We received 36 comments questioning the magnitude of the published pricing change for International Priority Airmail (IPA) and International Surface Airlift (ISAL). Customized prices can be negotiated for IPA and ISAL. Over the past five years, the cost coverage for these services has deteriorated. All international and domestic services must cover their attributable costs and make a reasonable contribution to our institutional costs. The published price increases will allow us to meet that requirement. The average published price increases for IPA and ISAL are 14.1 percent and 13.1 percent, respectively. Depending on the destination country group, price increases may be more or less than the average. After carefully reviewing and considering all comments, we decided not to modify the published price increases in our proposal because these [[Page 16605]] price increases are justified and necessary. 2. Restructuring Services Twenty-three commenters objected to our proposal to eliminate surface-transported economy services. We have experienced continuing volume decline for these economy services. Economy services that use surface transportation account for only 2.7 percent of total international volume. The declining volumes indicate that demand for faster services has increased at the expense of services that use surface transportation to foreign destinations. As a result, efficient international surface delivery networks have diminished and costs have dramatically increased. In addition, the lack of efficient surface delivery networks has led to lengthy and inconsistent delivery times for economy service to many destinations. We understand the concerns of mailers who use economy services, and customized agreements may be developed that involve different prices and standards from those presented in this rule. 3. Miscellaneous Three respondents commented on our online discounts. Customers who purchase postage using Click-N-Ship at http://www.usps.com, or through an authorized online provider, will receive discounts of 10 percent on Global Express Guaranteed, 8 percent on Express Mail International, and 5 percent on Priority Mail International. These commenters asked us to extend the discounts to postage meter customers. Postage meters cannot meet the specific requirements for the discounts; therefore, we cannot offer these discounts to postage meter customers. One commenter expressed concern about eliminating Recorded Delivery, Aerogrammes, and the small flat-rate envelope for Global Priority Mail. We are eliminating Recorded Delivery and Aerogrammes because of a lack of customer demand, and the availability of alternatives. Over the past five years volumes declined for these services and costs increased. In FY 2005, Aerogramme revenue was under $200,000, with fewer than 250,000 Aerogrammes sent. Recorded Delivery revenue was approximately $3,000 on slightly over 1,000 transactions. As an alternative, Aerogramme mailers can use either postcards or First-Class Mail International services. Previously purchased Aerogrammes will remain mailable at the applicable First-Class Mail International rate. Recorded Delivery mailers can use Registered Mail. Regarding the small flat-rate envelope for Global Priority Mail, as part of our product simplification and to more closely align domestic and international products, we will offer only one flat-rate envelope for Priority Mail International, using the same packaging as domestic Priority Mail. All items previously mailable in the Global Priority flat-rate envelope can be mailed in the new Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope. The maximum weight limit will remain 4 pounds. We received one comment questioning our decision to charge the same rate for postcards as we do for letters. In simplifying the pricing schedule, we made the decision to charge the same price for the base First-Class Mail International letter as we do for postcards. Postcards are a small percentage of the total letter-post volume, and we believe that it would be more convenient for customers to use the same postage and stamps for both of these services. First-Class Mail International letters and cards are processed, transported, and delivered in the same operational stream and have the same cost structure. We limited the price increase for the base one-ounce First-Class Mail International letter to under the system-wide average in part because of the rate increase to existing postcard users. After carefully reviewing and considering this comment, we have decided not to modify the price increases we proposed for postcards. One commenter questioned the proposed dimensional weight criteria for GXG. Dimensional weight determines the appropriate rate of postage based on the size of a shipment in relation to its weight. Our dimensional weight criteria are consistent with those used by the shipping industry. As the commenter noted, our rounding method needed clarification. We changed the rounding method to mirror that of the domestic rounding method used for Priority Mail. We received two comments from mailers concerning the overall published price increase for international products and the effect this increase may have on their businesses. The average increase in international prices is 13 percent and is necessary because of cost increases that occurred during a price freeze from January 2001 through January 2006. Also, the GXG rates in the December 20, 2006, proposal were misaligned and have been corrected in this final rule. When designing our published international prices, we are cognizant of the intense competitive environment in which we and our customers compete. For that reason, we moderated our increases in our pricing design. After carefully reviewing and considering these comments, we decided not to modify the price increases that we proposed because the price increases are justified and are necessary to cover our costs. One commenter asked us to provide a list of country-specific extra services and weight options. We included the weight options for Express Mail International and Priority Mail International in this final rule. We provide the updated IMM standards for our published prices, and how they are applied for each type of mail, below. After reviewing and considering the comments, we adopt the following changes to the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 20.1. List of Subjects in 39 CFR Part 20 Foreign relations, International postal services. PART 20--[AMENDED] 0 1. The authority citation for 39 CFR part 20 continues to read as follows: Authority: 5 U.S.C. 552(a); 39 U.S.C. 401, 404, 407, 408. 0 2. Revise the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM) to incorporate the following postage rates, fees, and rate groups.
