IV. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On October 10, 2024, pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3642 and 39 CFR 3040.130 et 

seq., the Postal Service filed a request to 

remove Mail Classification Schedule 

(MCS) section 2615.3 International 

Return Receipt from the Competitive 

product list in the MCS.1 In addition, 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632 and 39 CFR 

3040.180 et seq., the Postal Service 

requests to make accompanying 

materials changes to product 

descriptions for certain other 

Competitive products for which 

international return receipt is listed as 

an optional feature in MCS sections 

2310.5, 2315.5, 2335.5, 2510.3, 2510.6, 

2510.7, 2510.8, 2515.6, and 2515.8. Id. 

at 1, n.1. The Postal Service intends for 

these proposed changes to take effect on 

January 1, 2025. Id. at 3. 

II. Contents of Filing 

The Postal Service states that the 

removal of International Return Receipt 

from the relevant MCS sections will 

align the MCS to changes to the 

Universal Postal Union (UPU) 

Convention and Convention 

Regulations.2 Specifically, the UPU 

Extraordinary Congress decided last 

year that advice of delivery (which is 

referred to as ‘‘International Return 

Receipt’’ in the MCS) will no longer be 

an ancillary service with parcel post 

effective January 1, 2025, and it will no 

longer be an ancillary service with letter 

post packets that contain goods effective 

January 1, 2026. Request at 2. Therefore, 

the Postal Service proposes to eliminate 

International Return Receipt as an 

optional feature of Inbound Parcel Post 

(at UPU rates) in MCS section 2310.5 

and as an optional feature of Outbound 

Priority Mail International in MCS 

section 2315.5. Id.; see id. at 1, n.1. In 

addition, the Postal Service proposes to 

eliminate International Return Receipt 

at an optional feature of Outbound 

Single-Piece First-Class Package 

International Service in MCS section 

2335.5. Id. Although this latter change 

would be made 1 year sooner than the 

effective date of related changes to the 

UPU Convention that affects letter post 

packets that contain goods, the Postal 

Service states that having a single 

effective date for all proposed MCS 

changes is ‘‘desirable to streamline 

outbound product offerings.’’ Request at 

2. 

The Postal Service states that the 

combined effect of these proposed 

changes is the removal of MCS section 

2615.3, International Return Receipt. Id. 

at 3. In addition, the Postal Service 

proposes conforming material changes 

to product descriptions for all relevant 

Competitive products listed in the MCS 

to reflect that International Return 

Receipt is no longer available. Id. These 

proposed material changes to product 

descriptions are in MCS sections 2510.3, 

2510.6, 2510.7, 2510.8, 2515.6, and 

2515.8. Id. at 1, n.1. 

The Postal Service states that the 

proposed removal of MCS section 

2615.3, International Return Receipt, 

satisfies the requirements in 39 CFR 

3040.131(a) through (f) because: (a) it 

includes the name and class of the 

product that is the subject of the 

request; (b) it includes a copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 24–6 

supporting the request in Attachment 1; 

(c) it indicates that the product to be 

removed is from the Competitive 

product list; (d) it indicates that the 

product to be removed is not one of the 

three identified categories subject to 

unique regulatory treatment; (e) it 

includes a Statement of Supporting 

Justification in Attachment 3, which 

explains why the requested change is 

not inconsistent with the applicable 

statutory and regulatory requirements; 

and (f) it includes a copy of the 

applicable sections of the MCS and the 

proposed changes in legislative format 

in Attachment 2. Id. at 3–4, Attachments 

1–3.

Final Rules Relating to Non-Public Information, 

June 27, 2018, Attachment A at 19–22 (Order No. 

4679). 

Competitive products listed in MCS 

sections 2310.5, 2315.5, 2335.5, 2510.3, 

2510.6, 2510.7, 2510.8, 2515.6, and 

2515.8 satisfies the requirements in 39 

CFR 3040.180 and 3040.181 because: (1) 

the Request is submitted no later than 

30 days prior to implementing the 

proposed changes; (2) it includes a copy 

of the applicable sections of the MCS 

and the proposed changes in legislative 

format in Attachment 2; and (3) it 

provides supporting justification, which 

includes a description of, and rationale 

for, the proposed changes to product 

descriptions, explains why the changes 

will not result in the violation of 39 

U.S.C. 3633 and 39 CFR part 3035 for 

the Competitive products at issue, and 

describes the likely impact that the 

changes will have on users of the 

product and on competitors. Request at 

4–8, Attachment 2. 

III. Commission Action

No. MC2025–58 for consideration of
