to 39 CFR 3040.190(b).\1\ The Postal Service seeks to remove certain 
countries from the list of countries in MCS subsection 2625.2

    \1\ Notice of United States Postal Service of Filing Minor 
Corrections to the Product Description of International Money 
Transfer Service--Inbound, May 6, 2022 (Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Summary of Changes

    The Postal Service proposes two corrections to MCS section 2625.2, 
which lists the countries where IMTS-Inbound is offered. First, it 
requests that the Commission remove Japan from the list of countries 
when this docket is concluded because the Postal Service terminated the 
exchange of international postal money orders with Japan Post. Id. 
Second, the Postal Service proposes to remove the Bahamas, Barbados, 
British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Montserrat, St. Kitts, and St. 
Vincent from the list of countries effective October 1, 2022, because 
it will stop cashing international postal money orders issued by the 
postal operators of those countries. Id. The Postal Service asserts 
that the Notice satisfies the requirements of 39 CFR 3040.190(c) 
because the proposed corrections are consistent with applicable 
authorities and do not constitute material changes to the IMTS-Inbound 
product description. Id. The Notice includes a copy of the affected 
sections of the MCS with the proposed changes in legislative format, 
which the Postal Service contends satisfies 39 CFR 3040.190(c)(3). Id. 
Attachment--Mail Classification Schedule.
