I. Introduction
On July 21, 2015, the Commission
issued proposed rules describing
general procedures related to the
development of the Commission’s views
on certain international mail matters
pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 407(c)(1).1 For the
reasons discussed below, the
Commission adopts final rules on this
topic. The final rules reflect several
minor revisions to the proposed rules.
II. Rulemaking Context
In addition to revising the
longstanding approach to establishing
domestic mail rates and classifications,
the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006
amended several statutory provisions
concerning international mail matters.2
One of these amendments directs the
Secretary of State, prior to concluding a
treaty, convention, or amendment
establishing a market dominant rate or
classification, to request the
Commission’s views on the consistency
of such rate or classification with the
standards and criteria established by the
Commission under 39 U.S.C. 3622. 39
U.S.C. 407(c)(1). Section 3622 concerns
the establishment of a modern system
for regulating rates and classes for
market dominant products.
A companion provision requires the
Secretary of State to ensure that each
treaty, convention, or amendment
concluded under section 407(b) is
consistent with the Commission’s views
unless the Secretary makes a written
determination that ensuring such
consistency is not in the Nation’s
foreign policy or national security
interest. 39 U.S.C. 407(c)(2). Such a
written determination must be provided
to the Commission, along with a full
explanation of the reasons, but portions

(Order No. 2602).
2 See Postal Accountability and Enhancement
Act, Public Law 109–435, 120 Stat. 3198 (2006),
section 405(a) (PAEA).

of the determination may be designated
confidential for reasons of foreign policy
or national security. Id.
The introduction of a formal advisory
role for the Commission in this area was
a significant change from previous law,
as previous law did not require the
Secretary of State to request the
Commission’s views in carrying out the
Secretary’s responsibilities.3
Notwithstanding a degree of shared
responsibility, the PAEA makes clear
that the Secretary of State exercises
primary authority for the conduct of
foreign policy with respect to
international postal services and other
international delivery services,
including the determination of U.S.
positions and the conduct of U.S.
participation in negotiations with
foreign governments and international
bodies. See 39 U.S.C. 407(b)(2).
Pursuant to the directive in section
407(c)(1), the Secretary of State
requested—and the Commission
provided—views on certain proposals
submitted for consideration at the
quadrennial Universal Postal Union
(UPU) Congresses 4 held in 2008 and
2012, which occurred after enactment of
the PAEA. In anticipation of preparing
views in connection with the 2012
Congress, the Commission established
Docket No. PI2012–1 to receive written
comments from the public on the
principles that should guide the
development of its views.5 The
Commission closed Docket No. PI2012–
1 on January 29, 2015.6
III. Summary of Proposed Rules
The proposed rules describe general
procedures associated with the
development of the Commission’s views
on certain proposals submitted for
consideration at UPU Congresses and
related meetings. They are patterned on
the approach followed in Docket No.
3 See 39 U.S.C. 407(d) (1998), amended by the
PAEA.
4 The UPU Congress is the plenipotentiary body
of this international organization that has the
authority to amend the UPU Acts. These Acts
include the UPU Constitution, General Regulations,
Rules of Procedure, and Postal Payment Services
Agreement.
5 Docket No. PI2012–1, Order No. 1420, Notice
Providing Opportunity to Comment on
Development of Commission Views pursuant to 39
U.S.C. 407(c)(1), July 31, 2012. The next UPU
Congress is tentatively scheduled to convene in
mid-September 2016 in Istanbul, Turkey.
6 Docket No. PI2012–1, Order No. 2335, Order
Closing Docket, January 29, 2015, at 1.
