International Priority Mail
This document announces the Postal Service's filing of a notice to expand the availability of Priority Mail International to three additional destination countries. It also discusses related considerations, including additional procedural steps, and invites public comment.
Postal Service Price Changes
The Commission is conducting a review of the Postal Service's planned rate adjustments for essentially all products in the market dominant category, which includes the First-Class stamp, and limited classification changes. The adjustments are generally based on a method that relies on a price cap tied to annual changes in the consumer price index and, in some instances, also draws on unused or ``banked'' pricing authority. This document invites public comment and discusses other matters related to the Commission's review and the Postal Service's anticipated implementation of new rates.
Competitive Products Price Changes
This document announces the Postal Service's filing of a notice of price changes for certain competitive (shipping) products and invites public comment. In general, the price changes under consideration are for products that were not included in a more comprehensive set of changes implemented in January 2009. The reason for their exclusion is that the associated price changes are calculated, for the most part, with reference to certain market dominant products, and the timetable for implementation of pricing for these products is May of each year. Thus, deferral allows this relationship to be maintained. Changes for the competitive products identified in the Postal Service's notice are scheduled to occur on May 11, 2009, which coincides with anticipated changes for market dominant products.
New International Mail Contract
The Commission is adding a new product identified as International Business Reply Service Contract 1 to the Competitive Product List. This action is consistent with changes in a recent law governing postal operations and a recent Postal Service request. Republication of the lists of market dominant and competitive products is also consistent with new requirements in the law.
New Domestic Mail Product
The Commission is adding Express Mail Contract 3 to the Competitive Product List. This action is consistent with changes in a recent law governing postal operations and a recent Postal Service request. Republication of the lists of market dominant and competitive products is also consistent with new requirements in the law.
Domestic Mail Product
The Commission is adding Express Mail & Priority Mail Contract 3 to the Competitive Product List. This action is consistent with changes in a recent law governing postal operations and a recent Postal Service request. Republication of the lists of market dominant and competitive products is also consistent with new requirements in the law.
