POSTAL SERVICE
SUMMARY: The Postal Service TM is
proposing a major redesign of its
international products including
changes in prices and mail
classifications. There are two main
features of this redesign.
First, we propose to more closely
align our international products with

their domestic counterparts for ease of
use and added value to customers. This
will be accomplished by merging eight
current options into four alternatives by
combining products with overlapping
service standards and prices. We
propose to rename the international
products to mirror comparable domestic
product names.
Proposed enhancements to our
international products would include
increasing customer convenience
through the use of domestic packaging
supplies, offering the popular flat-rate
envelope option in Express Mail
International and adding the flat-rate
box option to Priority Mail
E:\FR\FM\20DEP1.SGM
20DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 2006 / Proposed Rules
International. We would also offer more
specific delivery time and tracking
information to major destinations.
The second main feature of the
redesign includes a proposal to increase
international product prices an average
of 13 percent necessitated by cost
increases that occurred during a price
freeze from January 2001 through
January 2006. The price increase also
addresses changes in market dynamics
while remaining below the cumulative
change in the Consumer Price Index.
If adopted, the product redesign and
prices that we propose in this notice
would become effective when we
change our domestic prices (that
proposal is currently before the Postal
Rate Commission in Docket No.
R2006–1).
Submit comments on or before
January 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to
the Manager, Mailing Standards, U.S.
Postal Service, 475 L’Enfant Plaza, SW.,
RM 3436, Washington, DC 20260–3436.
You may also fax written comments to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal
Service is proposing a major redesign of
its international products including
DATES:

changes in prices and mail
classifications. The proposed changes
are the first since January 2001 to
include structural changes and a
realignment of our services.
Currently, customers can send letters
and packages using one of eight
different mailing options. Our proposal
will simplify the international product
offering from eight products to four
products which closely mirror the
domestic products that so many
individual and small business
customers are familiar with. This will be
accomplished by combining existing air
services and surface products. In
addition to simplifying the product line,
we will provide more specific service
standards for each of our products.
Table 1 outlines our product
restructuring and proposed features.

*Some restrictions apply—Refer to terms and conditions on the back of mailing label for details.
Customers will be able to use the
familiar expedited domestic supplies for
their expedited international shipping.
We are also proposing adding the
popular flat-rate envelope as an option
in Express Mail International, and
maintaining the flat-rate envelope
option and adding the flat-rate box
option to Priority Mail International
using the existing domestic supplies.
Customers can continue to use existing
international packaging while supplies
are available.
We propose to increase prices of
international products by an average of
13 percent. International prices were
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:12 Dec 19, 2006
Jkt 211001
essentially frozen from January 2001 to
January 2006. This freeze was followed
by a 5.9 percent increase on January 7,
2006. Since 2001, our costs have been
increasing and alternative carriers have
been making yearly increases to their
prices. This has resulted in international
prices lagging behind both the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the
prices offered by alternative carriers on
comparable products. Even with the
proposed changes, our comparable
services will still be priced lower than
those of other international carriers.
Customers who purchase postage

www.usps.com, or through an
authorized online provider, will receive
discounts of 10 percent on Global
Express Guaranteed shipments, 8
percent on Express Mail International
shipments, and 5 percent on Priority
Mail International shipments.
As with our domestic price change
proposal (https://www.usps.com/
ratecase), the proposal for international
mail reflects changes in operations and
in the marketplace. Both our domestic
and international proposals will
enhance efficiency, offer attractive
choices, and ensure that all types of
mail cover their costs.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 2006 / Proposed Rules
The following sections describe the
realignment of international products.
Global Express Guaranteed
Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)
service is an international expedited
delivery service provided through an
alliance with FedEx Express. GXG
provides reliable, high-speed, datecertain service with money-back
delivery guarantee to over 190
countries. We propose to simplify the
pricing structure of Global Express
Guaranteed by combining the existing
document and non-document price
structure into one. We are proposing an
average price increase of 10.1 percent
for GXG.
Express Mail International
The Postal Service is proposing
Global Express Mail be renamed Express
Mail International. The renamed
Express Mail International would
continue to provide reliable, high speed
service to over 190 countries with
money back delivery guarantee to select
destinations. Document reconstruction
insurance and merchandise insurance
up to $100 are provided at no additional
cost. Optional additional merchandise
insurance is available for a fee.
We are proposing to regroup Express
Mail International’s destination country
rate groups based on geography and
market factors. This will consolidate 13
country groups into 10. An additional
customer convenience includes offering
two flat-rate envelope prices, one for
Canada and Mexico, and one for all
other countries.
We will offer more specific service
standards for Express Mail International
to help customers decide if this is the
right option for them. Average-days-fordelivery information to major
destinations will be available via our
online postage rate calculator as well as
at Post Offices. We are proposing an
average price increase of 18.6 percent
for Express Mail International.
Priority Mail International
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with PROPOSAL
The Postal Service proposes to
combine three overlapping services—air
parcel post, Global Priority Mail, and
economy parcel post—into a single new
service—‘‘Priority Mail International.’’
Service will be available to over 190
countries. Priority Mail International
service will offer the same flat rate
packaging as domestic Priority Mail
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:15 Dec 19, 2006
Jkt 211001
including a flat-rate envelope and two
flat-rate box options. Two flat-rate box
prices will be offered, one for Canada
and Mexico, and one for all other
countries. We will offer one flat-rate
envelope with two prices, one for
Canada and Mexico, and one for all
other countries. Letters are not mailable
in the flat-rate box but will be allowed
in the flat-rate envelope.
We propose to regroup countries
based on geography and market factors.
This will consolidate 14 country groups
into the same 10 country groups
proposed for Express Mail International.
We will provide more specific service
standards for Priority Mail International
to help customers decide if this is the
right option for them. Average-days-fordelivery information to all major
destinations will be available via our
online postage rate calculator as well as
at Post Offices. Additional tracking
information and extra services will be
available for Priority Mail International.
We are proposing an average price
increase of 16.7 percent for Priority Mail
International.
First-Class Mail International
The Postal Service proposes to
combine three overlapping services—
airmail letters, economy letters, and
aerogrammes—into a new single
service—‘‘First-Class Mail
International.’’ The new service is for
letters, postcards, and other items
weighing up to 4 pounds.
The service standard for First-Class
Mail International will be a range of
days for delivery and would be priced
lower than GXG, Express Mail
International, and Priority Mail
International. We are proposing an
average price increase of 8.6 percent for
First-Class Mail International letters and
21.0 percent for postcards.
M-bags
M-bags, which are direct sacks of
printed matter to one addressee. They
are priced based on the weight of the
bag. We are proposing to combine two
overlapping services, Airmail M-bags
and Economy M-bags. Under the new
service, M-bags will travel by air
transportation. We are proposing an
average price increase for M-bags of 7.7
percent.
International Priority Airmail (IPA)
International Priority Airmail TM
(IPA ) is a bulk air letter service for
PO 00000
Frm 00009

Sfmt 4702
First-Class Mail International items.
Presort, nonpresort, and drop ship
discounts are available. Volume
discounts are available through the
International Customized Mail (ICM)
program for commercial customers who
meet minimum program requirements.
We are proposing an average price
increase of 14.1 percent.
International Surface Air Lift
The Postal Service is proposing to
combine three overlapping services;
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL ),
Publishers’ Periodicals, and Books and
Sheet Music.
ISAL is a bulk mailing service for
First-Class Mail International items.
There is a 50-pound minimum per
mailing. Presort and drop ship
discounts are available. Volume
discounts are available through the ICM
program for commercial customers who
meet minimum program requirements.
We are proposing an average price
increase of 13.1 percent for International
Surface Air Lift.
International Surface Air Lift M-bags
M-bags (direct sacks of printed matter
sent to one addressee) can be sent using
ISAL service. We are proposing an
average price increase of 2.8 percent for
International Surface Air Lift M-bags.
Extra Services
The structure of international extra
services, formerly special services,
would remain the same. However,
because of a lack of customer demand,
we are proposing to eliminate Recorded
Delivery, the international equivalent to
domestic Certified Mail TM. In fiscal year
2005, revenue was approximately
$3,000 on slightly over 1,000
transactions. The alternative for the few
customers who currently use Recorded
Delivery would be Registered Mail TM.
We are proposing to remove other
extra services associated with economy
mail: Economy Registered and Economy
Insured. Fees for international extra
services linked to domestic fees are
currently under review by the Postal
Rate Commission and are outside the
scope of this proposal. All other
international extra services fees are
included in this proposal.
Table 2 is a price comparison of
current and proposed international extra
services.

Express Mail International. Express Mail
International is an expedited mail
service that can be used to send
documents and merchandise to most of
the country locations that are
individually listed in this publication.
Express Mail International insurance
coverage against loss, damage, or rifling,
up to a maximum of $100, is provided
at no additional charge. Additional
merchandise insurance coverage up to
$5,000 may be purchased at the sender’s
option. However, document
reconstruction insurance coverage is
limited to a maximum of $100 per
shipment. Return receipt service is
available upon request, at no additional
charge, for Express Mail International
shipments that are sent to a limited
number of countries. See 221.4.
Country-specific maximum weight
limits range from 22 pounds to 70
pounds. See the Individual Country
Listings. Although Express Mail
International shipments are supposed to
receive the most expeditious handling
available in the destination country,
they are not subject to a postage refund
guarantee if a delivery delay occurs.
Express Mail International with
Guarantee service—which offers a datecertain, money-back guarantee—is
available to select destinations; see IMM
220 and the Individual Country Listings
to determine the availability of such
service.

Hazardous Waste Management
System; Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste Proposed Exclusion
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule and request for
comment.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The EPA (also, ‘‘the Agency’’
or ‘‘we’’ in this preamble) is proposing
to grant a petition to exclude or ‘‘delist’’
wastewater treatment sludge from
conversion coating on aluminum
generated by the Ford Motor Company
(Ford) Kansas City Assembly Plant
(KCAP) in Claycomo, Missouri from the
requirements of hazardous waste
regulations under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
This proposed exclusion, if finalized,
conditionally excludes the petitioned
waste from the requirements of
hazardous waste regulations under
RCRA.
This petition was evaluated in a
manner similar to the expedited process
developed as a special project in
conjunction with the Michigan
Department of Environmental Quality
(MDEQ) for delisting similar wastes
generated by a similar manufacturing
process. See 76 FR 10341, March 7,
2002. Based on an evaluation of wastespecific information provided by Ford,
we have tentatively concluded that the
petitioned waste from KCAP is
nonhazardous with respect to the
original listing criteria and that there are
no other factors which would cause the
waste to be hazardous. This exclusion,
if finalized, would be valid only when
the sludge is disposed of in a Subtitle
D landfill which is permitted, licensed,
or registered by a State to manage
industrial solid waste.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
POSTAL SERVICE
39 CFR Part 20
International Product and Pricing Initiatives
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service \TM\ is proposing a major redesign of its
international products including changes in prices and mail
classifications. There are two main features of this redesign.
First, we propose to more closely align our international products
with their domestic counterparts for ease of use and added value to
customers. This will be accomplished by merging eight current options
into four alternatives by combining products with overlapping service
standards and prices. We propose to rename the international products
to mirror comparable domestic product names.
Proposed enhancements to our international products would include
increasing customer convenience through the use of domestic packaging
supplies, offering the popular flat-rate envelope option in Express
Mail International and adding the flat-rate box option to Priority Mail
[[Page 76231]]
International. We would also offer more specific delivery time and
tracking information to major destinations.
The second main feature of the redesign includes a proposal to
increase international product prices an average of 13 percent
necessitated by cost increases that occurred during a price freeze from
January 2001 through January 2006. The price increase also addresses
changes in market dynamics while remaining below the cumulative change
in the Consumer Price Index.
If adopted, the product redesign and prices that we propose in this
notice would become effective when we change our domestic prices (that
proposal is currently before the Postal Rate Commission in Docket No.
R2006-1).
DATES: Submit comments on or before January 19, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to the Manager, Mailing Standards,
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 Postal Service Headquarters Library, 11th
Floor North, 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Washington DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Obataiye B. Akinwole, 202-268-7262;
Thomas P. Philson, 202-268-7355; or Janet Mitchell, 202-268-7522.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is proposing a major
redesign of its international products including changes in prices and
mail classifications. The proposed changes are the first since January
2001 to include structural changes and a realignment of our services.
Currently, customers can send letters and packages using one of
eight different mailing options. Our proposal will simplify the
international product offering from eight products to four products
which closely mirror the domestic products that so many individual and
small business customers are familiar with. This will be accomplished
by combining existing air services and surface products. In addition to
simplifying the product line, we will provide more specific service
standards for each of our products. Table 1 outlines our product
restructuring and proposed features.

*Some restrictions apply--Refer to terms and conditions on the back of

Customers will be able to use the familiar expedited domestic
supplies for their expedited international shipping. We are also
proposing adding the popular flat-rate envelope as an option in Express
Mail International, and maintaining the flat-rate envelope option and
adding the flat-rate box option to Priority Mail International using
the existing domestic supplies. Customers can continue to use existing
international packaging while supplies are available.
We propose to increase prices of international products by an
average of 13 percent. International prices were essentially frozen
from January 2001 to January 2006. This freeze was followed by a 5.9
percent increase on January 7, 2006. Since 2001, our costs have been
increasing and alternative carriers have been making yearly increases
to their prices. This has resulted in international prices lagging
behind both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the prices offered by
alternative carriers on comparable products. Even with the proposed
changes, our comparable services will still be priced lower than those
of other international carriers.
Customers who purchase postage using Click-N-Ship, at https://
www.usps.com, or through an authorized online provider, will receive
discounts of 10 percent on Global Express Guaranteed shipments, 8
percent on Express Mail International shipments, and 5 percent on
Priority Mail International shipments.
As with our domestic price change proposal (https://www.usps.com/
ratecase), the proposal for international mail reflects changes in
operations and in the marketplace. Both our domestic and international
proposals will enhance efficiency, offer attractive choices, and ensure
that all types of mail cover their costs.
[[Page 76232]]
The following sections describe the realignment of international
products.
Global Express Guaranteed [supreg]
Global Express Guaranteed [supreg] (GXG) [supreg] service is an
international expedited delivery service provided through an alliance
with FedEx Express. GXG provides reliable, high-speed, date-certain
service with money-back delivery guarantee to over 190 countries. We
propose to simplify the pricing structure of Global Express Guaranteed
by combining the existing document and non-document price structure
into one. We are proposing an average price increase of 10.1 percent
for GXG.
Express Mail International
The Postal Service is proposing Global Express Mail be renamed
Express Mail International. The renamed Express Mail International
would continue to provide reliable, high speed service to over 190
countries with money back delivery guarantee to select destinations.
Document reconstruction insurance and merchandise insurance up to $100
are provided at no additional cost. Optional additional merchandise
insurance is available for a fee.
We are proposing to regroup Express Mail International's
destination country rate groups based on geography and market factors.
This will consolidate 13 country groups into 10. An additional customer
convenience includes offering two flat-rate envelope prices, one for
Canada and Mexico, and one for all other countries.
We will offer more specific service standards for Express Mail
International to help customers decide if this is the right option for
them. Average-days-for-delivery information to major destinations will
be available via our online postage rate calculator as well as at Post
Offices. We are proposing an average price increase of 18.6 percent for
Express Mail International.
Priority Mail International
The Postal Service proposes to combine three overlapping services--
air parcel post, Global Priority Mail, and economy parcel post--into a
single new service--``Priority Mail International.'' Service will be
available to over 190 countries. Priority Mail International service
will offer the same flat rate packaging as domestic Priority Mail
including a flat-rate envelope and two flat-rate box options. Two flat-
rate box prices will be offered, one for Canada and Mexico, and one for
all other countries. We will offer one flat-rate envelope with two
prices, one for Canada and Mexico, and one for all other countries.
Letters are not mailable in the flat-rate box but will be allowed in
the flat-rate envelope.
We propose to regroup countries based on geography and market
factors. This will consolidate 14 country groups into the same 10
country groups proposed for Express Mail International.
We will provide more specific service standards for Priority Mail
International to help customers decide if this is the right option for
them. Average-days-for-delivery information to all major destinations
will be available via our online postage rate calculator as well as at
Post Offices. Additional tracking information and extra services will
be available for Priority Mail International. We are proposing an
average price increase of 16.7 percent for Priority Mail International.
First-Class Mail International
The Postal Service proposes to combine three overlapping services--
airmail letters, economy letters, and aerogrammes--into a new single
service--``First-Class Mail International.'' The new service is for
letters, postcards, and other items weighing up to 4 pounds.
The service standard for First-Class Mail International will be a
range of days for delivery and would be priced lower than GXG, Express
Mail International, and Priority Mail International. We are proposing
an average price increase of 8.6 percent for First-Class Mail
International letters and 21.0 percent for postcards.
M-bags
M-bags, which are direct sacks of printed matter to one addressee.
They are priced based on the weight of the bag. We are proposing to
combine two overlapping services, Airmail M-bags and Economy M-bags.
Under the new service, M-bags will travel by air transportation. We are
proposing an average price increase for M-bags of 7.7 percent.
International Priority Airmail (IPA)
International Priority Airmail \TM\ (IPA [supreg]) is a bulk air
letter service for First-Class Mail International items. Presort,
nonpresort, and drop ship discounts are available. Volume discounts are
available through the International Customized Mail (ICM) program for
commercial customers who meet minimum program requirements. We are
proposing an average price increase of 14.1 percent.
International Surface Air Lift
The Postal Service is proposing to combine three overlapping
services; International Surface Air Lift [supreg] (ISAL [supreg]),
Publishers' Periodicals, and Books and Sheet Music.
ISAL is a bulk mailing service for First-Class Mail International
items. There is a 50-pound minimum per mailing. Presort and drop ship
discounts are available. Volume discounts are available through the ICM
program for commercial customers who meet minimum program requirements.
We are proposing an average price increase of 13.1 percent for
International Surface Air Lift.
International Surface Air Lift M-bags
M-bags (direct sacks of printed matter sent to one addressee) can
be sent using ISAL service. We are proposing an average price increase
of 2.8 percent for International Surface Air Lift M-bags.
Extra Services
The structure of international extra services, formerly special
services, would remain the same. However, because of a lack of customer
demand, we are proposing to eliminate Recorded Delivery, the
international equivalent to domestic Certified Mail \TM\. In fiscal
year 2005, revenue was approximately $3,000 on slightly over 1,000
transactions. The alternative for the few customers who currently use
Recorded Delivery would be Registered Mail \TM\.
We are proposing to remove other extra services associated with
economy mail: Economy Registered and Economy Insured. Fees for
international extra services linked to domestic fees are currently
under review by the Postal Rate Commission and are outside the scope of
this proposal. All other international extra services fees are included
in this proposal.
Table 2 is a price comparison of current and proposed international
extra services.
