Postal Service December 7, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On October 11, 2012, the Postal Service filed a notice of international mailing services price adjustments with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), effective on January 27, 2013. On October 23, 2012, the USPSTM published a proposed rule in the Federal Register with changes to Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM[supreg]). The proposed rule included changes that we would adopt to implement the changes coincident with the price adjustments and classification changes, including changes resulting from the Postal Regulatory Commission granting the Postal Service's request in Docket No. MC2012-44 to transfer First-Class Mail International[supreg] packages (small packets) and rolls from the market-dominant product list to the competitive product list. This final rule conveys the comments received on the proposal and the final mailing standards.
