FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Grayson M. Poats, (202) 268-2981.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 8, 1994, the Postal Service filed, 
pursuant to chapter 36, title 39, United States Code, a request with 
the Postal Rate Commission for a recommended decision on changes in 
rates of postage and fees for domestic postal services. An explanation 
of the Postal Service proposal with an invitation to participate in 
Commission Docket No. R94-1 was published in the Federal Register by 
the Postal Rate Commission on March 18, 1994 (59 FR 12996-13016).
    On November 30, 1994, the Postal Rate Commission issued an Opinion 
and Recommended Decision in Docket No. R94-1. In its Recommended 
Decision, the Commission recommended changes in the rates of postage 
and fees for domestic postal services.
    In a decision adopted on December 12, 1994, the Governors of the 
Postal Service allowed the Commission's recommended changes in rates 
and fees to take effect under protest. The Governors ordered these 
changes into effect on a permanent basis, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3625. 
Also on December 12, 1994, the Board of Governors determined that these 
changes would become effective at 12:01 a.m. on January 1, 1995. (The 
Governors' decision, the record of the Commission's hearings, and the 
Commission's Opinion and Recommended Decision may be purchased from the 
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, 
Washington, DC 20402. The Governors' decision and the Commission's 
Opinion and Recommended Decision are available for inspection in the 
Library at Headquarters, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW, 
Washington, DC 20260-1641.)
    In accordance with these actions by the Governors and the Board of 
Governors, the Postal Service hereby gives notice that the domestic 
rate and fee changes listed below become effective at 12:01 a.m. on 
January 1, 1995.

    Authority: 39 U.S.C. 101(d), 401, 403, 404, 3621, 3625, 3626.
