SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 3, 2009, the Postal Service filed a 
formal notice with the Commission concerning two changes in 
classification for Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) service pursuant to 
39 CFR 3020.90 et seq.\1\ The Postal Service's notice states that it is 
changing the minimum dimensional requirements for GXG service in Mail 
Classification Schedule (MCS) section 2205.2 which will allow mail 
pieces that are smaller than the current dimensions to be accepted as 
long as the shipping label fits on the face of the mail piece, and it 
is adding Libya as a new service country destination. Libya is being 
assigned to country group 4.

    39 CFR 3020.91 requires the Postal Service to file notice of 
proposed changes with the Commission no less than 15 days prior to the 
effective date of the proposed change. The Notice indicates that these 
changes are effective no sooner than 15 days after April 3, 2009, the 
date of the Notice.

Service Notice referred to in the body of this Order.
