Notice of a change in rates and classifications of general applicability for competitive products. AGENCY: ACTION: This notice sets forth changes in rates and classifications of general applicability for competitive products. DATES: Applicability date: January 19, 2025. SUMMARY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Reed, 202–268–3179. On November 13, 2024, pursuant to their authority under 39 U.S.C. 3632, the Governors of the Postal Service established price and classification changes for competitive products. The Governors’ Decision and the record of proceedings in connection with such decision are reprinted below in accordance with section 3632(b)(2). Mail Classification Schedule language containing the new prices can be found at www.prc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Christopher Doyle, Attorney, Ethics & Legal Compliance. Decision of the Governors of the United States Postal Service on Changes in Rates and Classifications of General Applicability for Competitive Products (Governors’ Decision No. 24–7) November 13, 2024 Statement of Explanation and Justification Pursuant to authority under section 3632 of title 39, as amended by the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 (‘‘PAEA’’), we establish prices and classifications of general applicability for the Postal Service’s competitive products. The changes are described generally below, with a detailed description of the changes in the Postal Service’s associated draft Mail Classification Schedule change document. That document contains the draft Mail Classification Schedule sections with classification changes in legislative format, and new prices displayed in the price charts. PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 92201 As shown in the nonpublic annex being filed under seal herewith, the changes we establish should enable each competitive product to cover its attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)) and should result in competitive products as a whole complying with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(3), which, as implemented by 39 CFR 3035.107(c), requires competitive products collectively to contribute a minimum of 9.6 percent to the Postal Service’s institutional costs. Accordingly, no issue of subsidization of competitive products by market dominant products should arise (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). We therefore find that the new prices and classification changes are in accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632–3633 and 39 CFR 3035.102 and 104. I. Domestic Products A. Priority Mail Express Overall, the Priority Mail Express price change represents a 3.2 percent increase. In 2023, we consolidated the Commercial Base and Commercial Plus price categories into one Commercial price category and differentiated the ‘‘Local, 1, 2’’ Zone prices. For January 2025, this new structure will be maintained. Dimensional weighting, which was introduced for all zones in 2019, will also continue in 2025. Retail prices will increase an average of 3.2 percent. The price for the Retail Flat Rate Envelope, a significant portion of all Priority Mail Express volume, will increase to $31.40, with the Legal Size and Padded Flat Rate Envelopes priced at $31.65 and $32.25, respectively. The Commercial price category will increase 3.2 percent on average. Commercial prices will, on average, reflect a 12.4 percent discount off of Retail prices. New for 2025, a Live Animal and Perishable Handling Fee of $7.50 will be introduced under Priority Mail Express to cover the additional costs associated with handling and transporting these items. B. Priority Mail On average, the Priority Mail prices will be increased by 3.2 percent. Similar to Priority Mail Express, the Commercial Base and Commercial Plus price categories were consolidated into one Priority Mail Commercial price category and ‘‘Local, 1, 2’’ Zone prices were differentiated in 2023. For January 2025, this new structure will be maintained. Dimensional weighting, which was introduced for all zones in 2019, will also continue in 2025. Retail prices will increase by an average of 3.2 percent. Retail Flat Rate Box prices will be: Small, $10.65; E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM 21NON1
