Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act
This rule is not a major rule under 5
U.S.C. 804(2) of the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.
This rule:
a. Does not have an annual effect on
the economy of $100 million.
b. Will not cause a major increase in
costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions.
c. Does not have significant adverse
effects on competition, employment,
investment, productivity, innovation, or
the ability of U.S.-based enterprises to
compete with foreign-based enterprises.
This determination is based upon the
fact that the State submittal which is the
subject of this rule is based upon
counterpart Federal regulations for
which an analysis was prepared and a
determination made that the Federal
regulation was not considered a major
rule.
Unfunded Mandates
This rule will not impose an
unfunded mandate on State, local, or
tribal governments or the private sector
of $100 million or more in any given
year. This determination is based upon
the fact that the State submittal, which
is the subject of this rule, is based upon
counterpart Federal regulations for
which an analysis was prepared and a
determination made that the Federal
regulation did not impose an unfunded
mandate.

International Mail: Proposed Changes
in Postal Rates and Fees
Postal Service.
Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Postal Service, under its
authority in Title 39 U.S.C. 407, is
proposing changes to international mail
postage rates and fees. As provided
under the Postal Reorganization Act, the
proposed changes will result in
VerDate Aug<18>2005

Jkt 205001
international postage rates that retain
the overall value of service to
customers, are fair and reasonable, and
are not unduly or unreasonably
discriminatory or preferential.
The total international rate increase is
5.9 percent. To the extent possible, the
targeted increase is 5.4 percent acrossthe-board, consistent with our domestic
rate filing with the Postal Rate
Commission. We are proposing to
implement this international pricing
change at the same time as the domestic
pricing change.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
October 17, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to
the Manager, Mailing Standards, Attn:

Washington, DC 20260–3436. You may
also fax written comments to 202–268–

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 Postal
Service is proposing to change
international postage rates and fees
concurrent with the implementation of
new domestic postage rates and fees. We
also plan to realign certain Express Mail
and Air Parcel Post rate groups based on
operational changes that have taken
place since the last rate change in 2001.
This realignment will enhance service
to some European and Asian countries.
The total international rate increase is
5.9 percent. To the extent possible, we
targeted the same 5.4 percent across-theboard increase we requested in our
domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate
Commission. However, for some
services and country groups, our
proposed increase is more than 5.4
percent. There are two reasons for this
difference. First, unlike domestic rates,
international rates have not changed
since January 2001. During that time,
costs have increased. To cover those
increases, we need to raise some rates
more than 5.4 percent. Second, rates
were rounded, in some cases to the
nearest $0.05. This rounding resulted in
increases for services such as postcards
and aerogrammes of more than 5.4
percent. Postcards and aerogrammes are
predominantly retail services, and we
rounded those rates for customer
convenience.
There are five principal categories of
international mail service, primarily
differentiated by speed of service. They
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702

are Global Express Guaranteed (GXG),
Global Express Mail (EMS), Global
Priority Mail (GPM), Airmail, and
Economy Mail. Following is a summary
of our proposed changes.
Global Express Guaranteed (GXGTM)
Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is
an international expedited delivery
service providing high-speed,
guaranteed, and time-definite service
from selected post offices to many
international destinations. GXG is
available for documents
(correspondence) and merchandise. Our
proposal would increase rates
approximately 5.3 percent.
Global Express MailTM (EMS)
Global Express Mail (EMS) is an
international expedited delivery service
provided to approximately 180
countries. Our proposal would increase
rates 5.7 percent. For most country
groups, the increase is an across-theboard 5.4 percent, rounded to the
nearest $0.05. However, with enhanced
service and operational changes, rates to
certain Asian destinations increased
more than 5.4 percent to cover costs.
Global Priority Mail (GPM)
Global Priority Mail (GPM) is an
expedited airmail letter service for
documents, printed matter, and
uninsured merchandise up to 4 pounds
to approximately 50 countries. Our
proposal would increase rates 5.6
percent. The proposed change
represents an across-the-board 5.4
percent increase, rounded to the nearest
$0.25. Because of this rounding, the rate
increase is more than 5.4 percent.
Air Letters
Air letters includes personal
correspondence, statements of account,
printed matter, and uninsured
merchandise weighing up to 4 pounds.
Our proposal would increase rates 5.2
percent.
Postcards and Postal Cards
Postcards and postal cards are
unsealed personal and business
correspondence similar to First-Class
Mail domestic postcards. Our proposal
would increase rates 7.8 percent. The
proposed change represents a 5.4
percent increase rounded to the nearest
$0.05. Because of this rounding, the rate
increase is more than 5.4 percent.
Postcards are predominantly a retail
service, and we rounded rates for
customer convenience.
Aerogrammes
Aerogrammes are designed for
personal correspondence and consist of
E:\FR\FM\15SEP1.SGM
15SEP1
54494
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 178 / Thursday, September 15, 2005 / Proposed Rules
a single page that folds into a selfsealing envelope. There is no domestic
equivalent to this service. Our proposal
would increase rates 7.1 percent. The
proposed change represents a 5.4
percent increase, rounded to the nearest
$0.05. Because of this rounding, the rate
increase is more than 5.4 percent.
Aerogrammes are predominantly a retail
service, and we rounded rates for
customer convenience.
Air Parcels
Air parcels resemble and are treated
similar to heavier-weight domestic
Priority Mail. Our proposal would
increase rates 5.4 percent.
International Priority Airmail (IPA)
International Priority Airmail (IPA) is
a bulk air letter service for letter-post
mail weighing up to 4 pounds. Presorted
mail and drop ship discounts are
available. Volume discounts are
available through the International
Customized Mail (ICM) program for
customers who tender at least 1 million
pounds of international letter-post mail
(excluding Global Priority Mail) to the
Postal Service, or pay at least $2 million
in international letter-post postage to
the Postal Service. Our proposal would
increase rates 7.4 percent. For most
country groups, the increase is an
across-the-board 5.4 percent. However,
because of cost increases to country
group 3, rates increased more than 5.4
percent to cover costs.
Economy Letters
Economy letters consists of personal
correspondence and business
correspondence similar to air letters,
except that economy letters travel by
surface transportation. Our proposal
would increase rates 9.7 percent. For
country groups 1 and 4 the increase is
an across-the-board 5.4 percent.
However, because of cost increases to
country groups 2, 3, and 5, rates
increased more than 5.4 percent to cover
costs.
Economy Parcels
Economy parcels resemble and are
treated similar to domestic Parcel Post.
Our proposal would increase rates 5.4
percent.
Books and Sheet Music include
printed sheet music or books with no
advertising and consisting wholly of
reading matter or scholarly
bibliography. This mail is similar to
domestic Media Mail and is transported
by surface transportation. Our proposal
would increase rates 15.1 percent. For
country groups 2, 3, and 4, the increase
is an across-the-board 5.4 percent.
However, because of cost increases to
rate groups 1 and 5, rates increased
more than 5.4 percent.
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL)
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) is
a bulk advertising and publications mail
service for mail weighing up to 4
pounds. There is a 50-pound minimum
per mailing. Presorted mail and drop
ship discounts are available. Volume
discounts are available through the ICM
program for customers who tender at
least 1 million pounds of international
letter-post mail (excluding Global
Priority Mail) to the Postal Service, or
pay at least $2 million in international
letter-post postage to the Postal Service.
Our proposal would increase rates 5.3
percent.
Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One
Addressee (M-Bags)
Publishers’ Periodicals
Publishers’ Periodicals, like domestic
periodicals, include magazines,
newspapers, journals, and other
publications. Our proposal would
increase rates 28.4 percent. Because this
mail does not cover costs, we increased
rates more than 5.4 percent.
Special Services
Linked to domestic fees
M-Bags include printed matter and
uninsured merchandise weighing up to
4 pounds and accompanying printed
matter destined to a single address. MBags can be sent by airmail, economy
mail, or ISAL. Our proposal would
increase rates 7.8 percent. For most
country groups, the increase is an
across-the-board 5.4 percent. However,
because of cost increases for airmail MBags, we increased country group 2 and
economy M-Bag country group rates
more than 5.4 percent.
International Special Services fees
linked to domestic fees are currently
under review by the Postal Rate
Commission in Docket No. R2005–1. All
other international Special Services fees
are included in this document.

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.

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.

39 CFR Part 20
International Mail: Proposed Changes in Postal Rates and Fees
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service, under its authority in Title 39 U.S.C.
407, is proposing changes to international mail postage rates and fees.
As provided under the Postal Reorganization Act, the proposed changes
will result in international postage rates that retain the overall
value of service to customers, are fair and reasonable, and are not
unduly or unreasonably discriminatory or preferential.
The total international rate increase is 5.9 percent. To the extent
possible, the targeted increase is 5.4 percent across-the-board,
consistent with our domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate
Commission. We are proposing to implement this international pricing
change at the same time as the domestic pricing change.
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 Postal Service is proposing to change
international postage rates and fees concurrent with the implementation
of new domestic postage rates and fees. We also plan to realign certain
Express Mail and Air Parcel Post rate groups based on operational
changes that have taken place since the last rate change in 2001. This
realignment will enhance service to some European and Asian countries.
The total international rate increase is 5.9 percent. To the extent
possible, we targeted the same 5.4 percent across-the-board increase we
requested in our domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate Commission.
However, for some services and country groups, our proposed increase is
more than 5.4 percent. There are two reasons for this difference.
First, unlike domestic rates, international rates have not changed
since January 2001. During that time, costs have increased. To cover
those increases, we need to raise some rates more than 5.4 percent.
Second, rates were rounded, in some cases to the nearest $0.05. This
rounding resulted in increases for services such as postcards and
aerogrammes of more than 5.4 percent. Postcards and aerogrammes are
predominantly retail services, and we rounded those rates for customer
convenience.
There are five principal categories of international mail service,
primarily differentiated by speed of service. They are Global Express
Guaranteed (GXG), Global Express Mail (EMS), Global Priority Mail
(GPM), Airmail, and Economy Mail. Following is a summary of our
proposed changes.
Global Express Guaranteed[reg] (GXGTM)
Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is an international expedited
delivery service providing high-speed, guaranteed, and time-definite
service from selected post offices to many international destinations.
GXG is available for documents (correspondence) and merchandise. Our
proposal would increase rates approximately 5.3 percent.
Global Express MailTM (EMS[reg])
Global Express Mail (EMS) is an international expedited delivery
service provided to approximately 180 countries. Our proposal would
increase rates 5.7 percent. For most country groups, the increase is an
across-the-board 5.4 percent, rounded to the nearest $0.05. However,
with enhanced service and operational changes, rates to certain Asian
destinations increased more than 5.4 percent to cover costs.
Global Priority Mail[reg] (GPM)
Global Priority Mail (GPM) is an expedited airmail letter service
for documents, printed matter, and uninsured merchandise up to 4 pounds
to approximately 50 countries. Our proposal would increase rates 5.6
percent. The proposed change represents an across-the-board 5.4 percent
increase, rounded to the nearest $0.25. Because of this rounding, the
rate increase is more than 5.4 percent.
Air Letters
Air letters includes personal correspondence, statements of
account, printed matter, and uninsured merchandise weighing up to 4
pounds. Our proposal would increase rates 5.2 percent.
Postcards and Postal Cards
Postcards and postal cards are unsealed personal and business
correspondence similar to First-Class Mail domestic postcards. Our
proposal would increase rates 7.8 percent. The proposed change
represents a 5.4 percent increase rounded to the nearest $0.05. Because
of this rounding, the rate increase is more than 5.4 percent. Postcards
are predominantly a retail service, and we rounded rates for customer
convenience.
Aerogrammes
Aerogrammes are designed for personal correspondence and consist of
[[Page 54494]]
a single page that folds into a self-sealing envelope. There is no
domestic equivalent to this service. Our proposal would increase rates
7.1 percent. The proposed change represents a 5.4 percent increase,
rounded to the nearest $0.05. Because of this rounding, the rate
increase is more than 5.4 percent. Aerogrammes are predominantly a
retail service, and we rounded rates for customer convenience.
Air Parcels
Air parcels resemble and are treated similar to heavier-weight
domestic Priority Mail. Our proposal would increase rates 5.4 percent.
International Priority Airmail (IPA)
International Priority Airmail (IPA) is a bulk air letter service
for letter-post mail weighing up to 4 pounds. Presorted mail and drop
ship discounts are available. Volume discounts are available through
the International Customized Mail (ICM) program for customers who
tender at least 1 million pounds of international letter-post mail
(excluding Global Priority Mail) to the Postal Service, or pay at least
$2 million in international letter-post postage to the Postal Service.
Our proposal would increase rates 7.4 percent. For most country groups,
the increase is an across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of
cost increases to country group 3, rates increased more than 5.4
percent to cover costs.
Economy Letters
Economy letters consists of personal correspondence and business
correspondence similar to air letters, except that economy letters
travel by surface transportation. Our proposal would increase rates 9.7
percent. For country groups 1 and 4 the increase is an across-the-board
5.4 percent. However, because of cost increases to country groups 2, 3,
and 5, rates increased more than 5.4 percent to cover costs.
Economy Parcels
Economy parcels resemble and are treated similar to domestic Parcel
Post. Our proposal would increase rates 5.4 percent.
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL)
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) is a bulk advertising and
publications mail service for mail weighing up to 4 pounds. There is a
50-pound minimum per mailing. Presorted mail and drop ship discounts
are available. Volume discounts are available through the ICM program
for customers who tender at least 1 million pounds of international
letter-post mail (excluding Global Priority Mail) to the Postal
Service, or pay at least $2 million in international letter-post
postage to the Postal Service. Our proposal would increase rates 5.3
percent.
Publishers' Periodicals
Publishers' Periodicals, like domestic periodicals, include
magazines, newspapers, journals, and other publications. Our proposal
would increase rates 28.4 percent. Because this mail does not cover
costs, we increased rates more than 5.4 percent.
Books and Sheet Music
Books and Sheet Music include printed sheet music or books with no
advertising and consisting wholly of reading matter or scholarly
bibliography. This mail is similar to domestic Media Mail and is
transported by surface transportation. Our proposal would increase
rates 15.1 percent. For country groups 2, 3, and 4, the increase is an
across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of cost increases to
rate groups 1 and 5, rates increased more than 5.4 percent.
Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (M-Bags)
M-Bags include printed matter and uninsured merchandise weighing up
to 4 pounds and accompanying printed matter destined to a single
address. M-Bags can be sent by airmail, economy mail, or ISAL. Our
proposal would increase rates 7.8 percent. For most country groups, the
increase is an across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of cost
increases for airmail M-Bags, we increased country group 2 and economy
M-Bag country group rates more than 5.4 percent.
Special Services
International Special Services fees linked to domestic fees are
currently under review by the Postal Rate Commission in Docket No.
R2005-1. All other international Special Services fees are included in
