SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USTR is
providing notice that consultations have
been requested pursuant to the WTO
Understanding on Rules and Procedures
Governing the Settlement of Disputes
(‘‘DSU’’). If such consultations should
fail to resolve the matter and a dispute
settlement panel is established pursuant
to the DSU, such panel, which would
hold its meetings in Geneva,
Switzerland, would be expected to issue
a report on its findings and
recommendations within nine months
after it is established.
Major Issues Raised by Mexico
On October 24, 2008, Mexico
requested consultations regarding U.S.
limitations on the use of a dolphin-safe
label for tuna and tuna products.
Mexico challenges three U.S. measures:
(1) The Dolphin Protection Consumer
Information Act (19 U.S.C. 1385); (2)
certain dolphin-safe labeling regulations
(50 CFR 216.91–92); and (3) the Ninth
Circuit decision in Earth Island v.
Hogarth, 494 F.3d. 757 (9th Cir. 2007),
and alleges that these measures have the
effect of prohibiting Mexican tuna and
tuna products from being labeled
dolphin-safe. Specifically, Mexico
alleges that its tuna and tuna products
are accorded less favorable treatment
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:26 Nov 19, 2008
Jkt 217001
than like products of national origin and
like products originating in other
countries and are not immediately and
unconditionally accorded any
advantage, favor, privilege, or immunity
granted to like products in other
countries. Mexico further alleges that
the U.S. measures create unnecessary
obstacles to trade and are not based on
an existing international standard.
Finally, Mexico alleges that the U.S.
procedures for assessing conformity
with the dolphin-safe labeling
requirement create unnecessary
obstacles to trade and do not grant
access to Mexican suppliers under
conditions that are no less favorable
than those accorded to suppliers of like
products of national origin or
originating in any other country under
comparable circumstances. Mexico
alleges that the U.S. measures appear to
be inconsistent with the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994,
Articles I and III, and the Agreement on
Technical Barriers to Trade, Articles 2,
5, 6, and 8.

ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Commission is noticing a
recently filed Postal Service notice of
changes to rates of general applicability
for competitive products and related
classification changes. The price
changes are scheduled to become
effective January 18, 2009.
DATES: Comments are due December 1,

On
November 13, 2008, the Postal Service
filed notice with the Commission
concerning changes in rates of general
applicability for competitive products.1
The Filing also includes related mail
classification changes. As required by
the Commission’s rules, 39 CFR
3015.2(b), the Filing includes an
explanation and justification for the
changes, the effective date, and a
schedule of the changed rates. The price
changes are scheduled to become
effective January 18, 2009.
Attached to the Filing is the
Governors’ Decision evaluating the new
prices and classification changes in
accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632–33 and
39 CFR 3015.2.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1 See Notice of the United States Postal Service
of Changes in Rates of General Applicability for
Competitive Products Established in Governors’
Decision No. 08–19, November 13, 2008 (Filing).
The Filing is available on the Commission’s Web
site, https://www.prc.gov, under Daily Listings for
November 13, 2008. Pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
3632(b)(2), the Postal Service is obligated to publish
the Governors’ Decision and record of proceedings
in the Federal Register at least 30 days before the
effective date of the new rates or classes.

The Governors’ Decision includes two
Attachments. Attachment A provides an
analysis of the competitive products’
price and classification changes
intended to demonstrate that the
changes comply with section 3633(a) of
title 39 and the Commission’s rules.2 39
CFR 3015.7(c).
Attachment B to the Governors’
Decision sets forth the price changes
and related product description changes
to be incorporated into the draft Mail
Classification Schedule. Selected
highlights of the price and classification
changes follow.
Express Mail. Overall, Express Mail
prices increase by approximately 5.7
percent, with average retail prices
increasing by approximately 6 percent.
Changes to the price structure include
supplanting the current Commercial
Volume Incentives category with a
Commercial Plus category that provides
lower prices, rather than rebates, for
customers meeting specified volume
levels. Customers paying through the
use of qualifying metered systems will
be eligible for the lower prices currently
available to customers paying postage
online and through authorized payment
methods.
Priority Mail. Priority Mail prices
increase by 3.9 percent overall, with
average retail prices increasing by about
4.7 percent. Changes to the price
structure include the creation of a
Commercial Plus category, similar to the
one for Express Mail, to provide lower
prices for customers mailing specified
volumes. A small flat-rate box is also
added as a new Priority Mail option.
Pricing incentives currently available to
customers paying postage online or
through authorized payment methods
are extended to customers paying
through the use of qualifying metered
systems.
Parcel Select. Parcel Select service
increases, on average, by 5.9 percent.
Prices are designed to encourage
dropshipping at destination delivery
units (DDUs), and accordingly, increase
more for destination bulk mail center
(BMC) entry than for destination
sectional center facility entry and DDU
entry.
Parcel Return. Parcel Return service
increases, on average, by 5.3 percent.
Return BMC prices will increase by 7.1
percent with no increase for return
delivery unit prices.
Global Express Guaranteed. Global
Express Guaranteed service increases,
on average, by 11.2 percent. Price
