39 CFR Part 20


International Mail: Proposed Changes in Postal Rates and Fees

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Postal Service, under its authority in Title 39 U.S.C. 
407, is proposing changes to international mail postage rates and fees. 
As provided under the Postal Reorganization Act, the proposed changes 
will result in international postage rates that retain the overall 
value of service to customers, are fair and reasonable, and are not 
unduly or unreasonably discriminatory or preferential.
    The total international rate increase is 5.9 percent. To the extent 
possible, the targeted increase is 5.4 percent across-the-board, 
consistent with our domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate 
Commission. We are proposing to implement this international pricing 
change at the same time as the domestic pricing change.

DATES: Submit comments on or before October 17, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver comments to the Manager, Mailing Standards, 
Attn: Obataiye Akinwole, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., 
RM 3436, Washington, DC 20260-3436. You may also fax written comments 
to 202-268-4955. You may inspect and photocopy all written comments 
between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, at USPS Headquarters 
Library, 11th Floor North, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Obataiye B. Akinwole at 202-268-7262, 
or Thomas P. Philson at 202-268-7355.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Postal Service is proposing to change 
international postage rates and fees concurrent with the implementation 
of new domestic postage rates and fees. We also plan to realign certain 
Express Mail and Air Parcel Post rate groups based on operational 
changes that have taken place since the last rate change in 2001. This 
realignment will enhance service to some European and Asian countries.
    The total international rate increase is 5.9 percent. To the extent 
possible, we targeted the same 5.4 percent across-the-board increase we 
requested in our domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate Commission. 
However, for some services and country groups, our proposed increase is 
more than 5.4 percent. There are two reasons for this difference. 
First, unlike domestic rates, international rates have not changed 
since January 2001. During that time, costs have increased. To cover 
those increases, we need to raise some rates more than 5.4 percent. 
Second, rates were rounded, in some cases to the nearest $0.05. This 
rounding resulted in increases for services such as postcards and 
aerogrammes of more than 5.4 percent. Postcards and aerogrammes are 
predominantly retail services, and we rounded those rates for customer 
convenience.
    There are five principal categories of international mail service, 
primarily differentiated by speed of service. They are Global Express 
Guaranteed (GXG), Global Express Mail (EMS), Global Priority Mail 
(GPM), Airmail, and Economy Mail. Following is a summary of our 
proposed changes.

Global Express Guaranteed[reg] (GXGTM)

    Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is an international expedited 
delivery service providing high-speed, guaranteed, and time-definite 
service from selected post offices to many international destinations. 
GXG is available for documents (correspondence) and merchandise. Our 
proposal would increase rates approximately 5.3 percent.

Global Express MailTM (EMS[reg])

    Global Express Mail (EMS) is an international expedited delivery 
service provided to approximately 180 countries. Our proposal would 
increase rates 5.7 percent. For most country groups, the increase is an 
across-the-board 5.4 percent, rounded to the nearest $0.05. However, 
with enhanced service and operational changes, rates to certain Asian 
destinations increased more than 5.4 percent to cover costs.

Global Priority Mail[reg] (GPM)

    Global Priority Mail (GPM) is an expedited airmail letter service 
for documents, printed matter, and uninsured merchandise up to 4 pounds 
to approximately 50 countries. Our proposal would increase rates 5.6 
percent. The proposed change represents an across-the-board 5.4 percent 
increase, rounded to the nearest $0.25. Because of this rounding, the 
rate increase is more than 5.4 percent.

Air Letters

    Air letters includes personal correspondence, statements of 
account, printed matter, and uninsured merchandise weighing up to 4 
pounds. Our proposal would increase rates 5.2 percent.

Postcards and Postal Cards

    Postcards and postal cards are unsealed personal and business 
correspondence similar to First-Class Mail domestic postcards. Our 
proposal would increase rates 7.8 percent. The proposed change 
represents a 5.4 percent increase rounded to the nearest $0.05. Because 
of this rounding, the rate increase is more than 5.4 percent. Postcards 
are predominantly a retail service, and we rounded rates for customer 
convenience.

Aerogrammes

    Aerogrammes are designed for personal correspondence and consist of

[[Page 54494]]

a single page that folds into a self-sealing envelope. There is no 
domestic equivalent to this service. Our proposal would increase rates 
7.1 percent. The proposed change represents a 5.4 percent increase, 
rounded to the nearest $0.05. Because of this rounding, the rate 
increase is more than 5.4 percent. Aerogrammes are predominantly a 
retail service, and we rounded rates for customer convenience.

Air Parcels

    Air parcels resemble and are treated similar to heavier-weight 
domestic Priority Mail. Our proposal would increase rates 5.4 percent.

International Priority Airmail (IPA)

    International Priority Airmail (IPA) is a bulk air letter service 
for letter-post mail weighing up to 4 pounds. Presorted mail and drop 
ship discounts are available. Volume discounts are available through 
the International Customized Mail (ICM) program for customers who 
tender at least 1 million pounds of international letter-post mail 
(excluding Global Priority Mail) to the Postal Service, or pay at least 
$2 million in international letter-post postage to the Postal Service. 
Our proposal would increase rates 7.4 percent. For most country groups, 
the increase is an across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of 
cost increases to country group 3, rates increased more than 5.4 
percent to cover costs.

Economy Letters

    Economy letters consists of personal correspondence and business 
correspondence similar to air letters, except that economy letters 
travel by surface transportation. Our proposal would increase rates 9.7 
percent. For country groups 1 and 4 the increase is an across-the-board 
5.4 percent. However, because of cost increases to country groups 2, 3, 
and 5, rates increased more than 5.4 percent to cover costs.

Economy Parcels

    Economy parcels resemble and are treated similar to domestic Parcel 
Post. Our proposal would increase rates 5.4 percent.

International Surface Air Lift (ISAL)

    International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) is a bulk advertising and 
publications mail service for mail weighing up to 4 pounds. There is a 
50-pound minimum per mailing. Presorted mail and drop ship discounts 
are available. Volume discounts are available through the ICM program 
for customers who tender at least 1 million pounds of international 
letter-post mail (excluding Global Priority Mail) to the Postal 
Service, or pay at least $2 million in international letter-post 
postage to the Postal Service. Our proposal would increase rates 5.3 
percent.

Publishers' Periodicals

    Publishers' Periodicals, like domestic periodicals, include 
magazines, newspapers, journals, and other publications. Our proposal 
would increase rates 28.4 percent. Because this mail does not cover 
costs, we increased rates more than 5.4 percent.

Books and Sheet Music

    Books and Sheet Music include printed sheet music or books with no 
advertising and consisting wholly of reading matter or scholarly 
bibliography. This mail is similar to domestic Media Mail and is 
transported by surface transportation. Our proposal would increase 
rates 15.1 percent. For country groups 2, 3, and 4, the increase is an 
across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of cost increases to 
rate groups 1 and 5, rates increased more than 5.4 percent.

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (M-Bags)

    M-Bags include printed matter and uninsured merchandise weighing up 
to 4 pounds and accompanying printed matter destined to a single 
address. M-Bags can be sent by airmail, economy mail, or ISAL. Our 
proposal would increase rates 7.8 percent. For most country groups, the 
increase is an across-the-board 5.4 percent. However, because of cost 
increases for airmail M-Bags, we increased country group 2 and economy 
M-Bag country group rates more than 5.4 percent.
