International Mail: Republic of the
Marshall Islands and Federated States
of Micronesia
Postal Service.
Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: Under an agreement
negotiated by the United States
government with the Republic of the
Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia, mail destined to
those two countries will now use the
international rate schedules. This
proposal would amend the International
Mail Manual (IMM) to include the
Republic of the Marshall Islands and the
Federated States of Micronesia in all
international products and services and
add them to the individual country
listings.
Submit comments on or before
October 17, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to
the Manager, Mailing Standards, Attn:
Obataiye Akinwole, U.S. Postal Service,
475 L’Enfant Plaza SW., RM 3436,
Washington DC 20260–3436. You may
also fax written comments to 202–268–
4955. You may inspect and photocopy
all written comments between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at
DATES:
USPS Headquarters Library, 11th Floor
North, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW.,
Washington DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Obataiye B. Akinwole at 202–268–7262,
or Thomas P. Philson at 202–268–7355.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
United States government negotiated an
agreement with two former United
States Trust Territories, the Republic of
the Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia. As a part of that
agreement, mail destined to those two
countries will now use the international
rate schedules. As provided in the
agreement, international rates will be
phased in over a period of not less than
five years, beginning no sooner than
2006.
For all international services with
domestic equivalents, rates will be
phased in using the difference between
the domestic rates and the international
rates. These services include Express
Mail, Air Letters, Postcards, Publishers’
Periodicals, Air Parcel Post, Economy
Parcel Post, and Books and Sheet Music.
For international services without
domestic equivalents, phased rates were
derived by selecting a lower rate
country group. After the phasing period,
the Republic of the Marshall Islands and
the Federated States of Micronesia will
be in country group 5 for Economy
Letter Post, Airmail M-Bags, and
Economy M-Bags and country group 7
for International Priority Airmail (IPA).
To phase in these rates over at least five
years the Republic of the Marshall
Islands and the Federated States of
Micronesia have been assigned to
country group 3 for those services
during the first phase. Aerogramme
service does not have a domestic
equivalent; however, there is only one
worldwide rate available.
Initially, three international services
will not be offered for mail destined to
the Republic of the Marshall Islands and
the Federated States of Micronesia:
Global Express Guaranteed (GXGTM),
Global Priority Mail (GPM), and
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL).
These services require special
transportation arrangements and may be
offered in the future.
The rates, fees, and conditions of
mailing proposed in this notice, if
adopted, would become effective
concurrent with any domestic rates
adopted as a result of the current
proceedings before the Postal Rate
Commission (Docket No. R2005–1). All
regulatory changes necessary to
implement this proposal are given
below.
Although exempt from the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act [5 U.S.C.
553 (b), (c)] regarding proposed
rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the
Postal Service invites public comment
on the following proposed revisions to
the 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]

Availability of fishery
management plan amendment; request
for comments.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces the
availability of Generic Amendment 3 to
the Fishery Management Plans (FMP) of
the Gulf of Mexico (EFH Amendment 3)
prepared by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery
Management Council (Council). EFH
Amendment 3 would amend each of the
seven Council FMPs -coral and coral
reef resources, coastal migratory
pelagics, red drum, reef fish, shrimp,
spiny lobster, and stone crab- to
describe and identify essential fish
habitat (EFH); minimize to the extent
practicable the adverse effects of fishing
on EFH; and encourage conservation
and management of EFH. This
amendment would establish additional
habitat areas of particular concern
(HAPC), restrict fishing activities within
HAPCs to protect EFH, and require a
weak link in bottom trawl gear to
protect EFH. The intended effect of EFH
Amendment 3 is to facilitate long-term
protection of EFH, and, thus, better
conserve and manage fishery resources
in the Gulf of Mexico.
Written comments must be

39 CFR Part 20
International Mail: Republic of the Marshall Islands and
Federated States of Micronesia
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Under an agreement negotiated by the United States government
with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of
Micronesia, mail destined to those two countries will now use the
international rate schedules. This proposal would amend the
International Mail Manual (IMM) to include the Republic of the Marshall
Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia in all international
products and services and add them to the individual country listings.
DATES: Submit comments on or before October 17, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to the Manager, Mailing Standards,
Attn: Obataiye Akinwole, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW.,
RM 3436, Washington DC 20260-3436. You may also fax written comments to
202-268-4955. You may inspect and photocopy all written comments
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at USPS Headquarters
Library, 11th Floor North, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Obataiye B. Akinwole at 202-268-7262,
or Thomas P. Philson at 202-268-7355.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States government negotiated an
agreement with two former United States Trust Territories, the Republic
of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia. As a
part of that agreement, mail destined to those two countries will now
use the international rate schedules. As provided in the agreement,
international rates will be phased in over a period of not less than
five years, beginning no sooner than 2006.
For all international services with domestic equivalents, rates
will be phased in using the difference between the domestic rates and
the international rates. These services include Express Mail, Air
Letters, Postcards, Publishers' Periodicals, Air Parcel Post, Economy
Parcel Post, and Books and Sheet Music.
For international services without domestic equivalents, phased
rates were derived by selecting a lower rate country group. After the
phasing period, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia will be in country group 5 for Economy Letter
Post, Airmail M-Bags, and Economy M-Bags and country group 7 for
International Priority Airmail (IPA). To phase in these rates over at
least five years the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia have been assigned to country group 3 for those
services during the first phase. Aerogramme service does not have a
domestic equivalent; however, there is only one worldwide rate
available.
Initially, three international services will not be offered for
mail destined to the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated
States of Micronesia: Global Express Guaranteed[supreg]
(GXGTM), Global Priority Mail[supreg] (GPM), and
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL). These services require special
transportation arrangements and may be offered in the future.
The rates, fees, and conditions of mailing proposed in this notice,
if adopted, would become effective concurrent with any domestic rates
adopted as a result of the current proceedings before the Postal Rate
Commission (Docket No. R2005-1). All regulatory changes necessary to
implement this proposal are given below.
Although exempt from the notice and comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act [5 U.S.C. 553 (b), (c)] regarding proposed
rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the Postal Service invites public
comment on the following proposed revisions to the International Mail
Manual (IMM), incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal
Regulations. See 39 CFR 20.1.
