Mires, Attorney, Federal Compliance. Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on Mail Classification Schedule Changes for Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes and Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Boxes (Governors’ Decision No. 16–1) March 30, 2016 Statement of Explanation and Justification Pursuant to our authority under section 404(b) and Chapter 36 of title 39, United States Code, the Governors establish classification changes to Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes (PMI FREs) and PMI Small Flat Rate Boxes (PMI SFRBs). PMI FREs and PMI SFRBs are Postal Service-branded mailing containers available at no additional cost and used by customers to send documents and small merchandise items abroad. Currently, the Postal Service dispatches PMI FREs and PMI SFRBs in the letter post stream, while all other PMI items are dispatched in the parcel post stream. This results in PMI FREs and PMI SFRBs being subject to different market and operational characteristics. The Postal Service intends to change the dispatch stream for PMI FREs and PMI SFRBs to the international parcel post stream. This change would allow PMI FREs and PMI SFRBs to receive expanded access to tracking services and insurance, which are not routinely E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1
