POSTAL SERVICE

39 CFR Part 20


International Mail: New Postal Rates and Fees

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal Service \TM\ is adopting new international mail 
postage rates and fees. The total international rate increase is 5.9 
percent. To the extent possible, the targeted increase is 5.4 percent, 
consistent with our domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate 
Commission. We are implementing this international pricing change at 
the same time as our domestic pricing change.

EFFECTIVE DATE: 12:01 a.m., Sunday, January 8, 2006.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 15, 2005, the Postal Service 
published in the Federal Register (70 FR 54493) a notice of proposed 
changes in international postage rates. We requested comments by 
October 17, 2005, and received one comment from a private individual.
    The private individual asked why the 1-ounce airmail letter-post 
rate is less than the rate for aerogrammes to Canada and Mexico. He 
envisions situations where customers might purchase aerogrammes at the 
full rate and alter them into airmail letter-post to secure the lower 
price. His solution is to print another aerogramme at the letter-post 
rate.
    We agree that aerogramme users could possibly alter their 
aerogrammes to receive the lower rate. Because of the relatively low 
volume of aerogrammes worldwide and the relatively low potential cost 
savings on each altered aerogramme, however, we do not believe this 
practice will be common or will result in serious revenue loss. In 
fact, the letter-post rate to Canada and Mexico is currently below the 
aerogramme rate, and this rate relationship has not caused the problem 
noted by the private individual. In addition, printing and stocking two 
aerogrammes with different postage rates would be costly. We note that 
enclosures are not permitted in aerogrammes. We have been advised by 
the private individual that mailers may try to send aerogrammes with 
enclosures, and we will monitor the situation and take action if 
necessary.
