39 CFR Part 20


International Mail Manual; Incorporation by Reference

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Postal Service announces the issuance of the Mailing 
Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail 
Manual (IMM[supreg]) dated July 10, 2022, and its incorporation by 
reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 19, 2022. The 
incorporation by reference of the IMM is approved by the Director of 
the Federal Register as of October 19, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Kennedy, (202) 268-6592.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The International Mail Manual (IMM) provides 
our standards for all international mailing services and references for 
the applicable prices. It was issued on July 10, 2022, and was updated 
with Postal Bulletin revisions through June 2, 2022. It replaces all 
previous editions.
    The IMM continues to enable the Postal Service to fulfill its long-
standing mission of providing affordable, universal mail service. It 
continues to: (1) increase the user's ability to find information; (2) 
increase the user's confidence that he or she has found the information 
they need; and (3) reduce the need to consult multiple sources to 
locate necessary information. The provisions throughout this issue 
support the standards and mail preparation changes implemented since 
the version of July 1, 2022. The International Mail Manual is available 
to the public on the Postal Explorer[supreg] internet site at https://pe.usps.com.
