POSTAL SERVICE 

Change in Rates and Classes of 

General Applicability for Competitive 

Products 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Notice of a change in rates and 

classifications of general applicability 

for competitive products. 

SUMMARY: This notice sets forth changes 

in rates and classifications of general 

applicability for competitive products. 

DATES: Effective date: July 10, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Elizabeth Reed, 202–268–3179. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 

2022, pursuant to their authority under 

39 U.S.C. 3632, the Governors of the 

Postal Service established prices and 

classification changes for competitive 

products. The Governors’ Decision and 

the record of proceedings in connection 

with such decision are reprinted below 

in accordance with section 3632(b)(2). 

Sarah Sullivan, 

Attorney, Ethics and Legal Compliance. 

Decision of the Governors of the United 

States Postal Service on Changes in 

Rates and Classifications of General 

Applicability for Competitive Products 

(Governors’ Decision No. 22–1) 

May 5, 2022 

Statement of Explanation and 

Justification 

Pursuant to authority under section 

3632 of title 39, as amended by the 

Postal Accountability and Enhancement 

Act of 2006 (‘‘PAEA’’), we establish 

prices and classifications of general 

applicability for certain of the Postal 

Service’s competitive products. The 

changes are described generally below, 

with a detailed description of the 

changes in the attachment. The 

attachment includes the draft Mail 

Classification Schedule sections with 

classification changes in legislative 

format, and new prices displayed in the 

price charts. 

As shown in the nonpublic annex 

being filed under seal herewith, the 

changes we establish should enable 

each competitive product to cover its 

attributable costs (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(2)) 

and should result in competitive 

products as a whole complying with 39 

U.S.C. 3633(a)(3), which, as 

implemented by 39 CFR 3035.107(c), 

requires competitive products 

collectively to contribute a minimum of 

10.0 percent to the Postal Service’s 

institutional costs. Accordingly, no 

issue of subsidization of competitive 

products by market dominant products 

should arise (39 U.S.C. 3633(a)(1)). We 

therefore find that the new prices are in 

accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632–3633 

and 39 CFR 3035.102. 

I. Domestic Products 

A. Priority Mail 

The existing structure of the Priority 

Mail Retail, Commercial Base, and 

Commercial Plus price categories is 

maintained. No price changes are 

proposed, but classification changes are 

made to increase insurance to $100 for 

Priority Mail and to extend the 

inclusion of $100 in insurance to 

Priority Mail Returns. Eligibility 

requirements for Commercial Plus Cubic 

pricing are being removed, so that all 

commercial customers can utilize 

Priority Mail cubic pricing. 

B. Parcel Select 

Cubic pricing will be introduced for 

the Parcel Select Ground price category. 

No other price or classification changes 

are proposed for the Parcel Select 

product, and the existing structure is 

maintained. 

No other price or classification 

changes for Domestic Products are being 

made. 

I. International Products 

A. International Ancillary Services and 

Special Services 

Prices for Outbound International 

Insurance will be increased about 55 

percent on average to ensure adequate 

cost coverage, in response to recent 

directives from the Postal Regulatory 

Commission (PRC) in its FY 2021 

Annual Compliance Determination 

(ACD) to take corrective action in this 

regard in relation to Outbound 

International Insurance’s failure to cover 

its costs in FY 2021. Prices for 

International Money Transfer Service 

(IMTS)—Outbound, which includes 

international Postal Money Orders and 

Electronic Money Transfer Service, will 

increase by about 305 percent, in 

response to a PRC directive in the FY 

2021 ACD after a finding that IMTS— 

Outbound did not cover its costs. 

No other price or classification 

changes for International Products are 

being made. 

Order 

The changes in prices and classes set 

forth herein shall be effective at 12:01 

a.m. on July 10, 2022. We direct the 

Secretary to have this decision 

published in the Federal Register in 

accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2) 

and direct management to file with the 

Postal Regulatory Commission 

appropriate notice of these changes. 

By The Governors:

Parcels exceeding one cubic foot are priced at the actual weight or the 

dimensional weight, whichever is greater. 

For box-shaped parcels, the dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by 

multiplying the length (inches) times the width (inches) times the height 

(inches) of the parcel, and dividing by 166. 

For irregular-shaped parcels (parcels not appearing box-shaped), the 

dimensional weight (pounds) is calculated by multiplying the length 

(inches) times the width (inches) times the height (inches) at the 

associated maximum cross-sections of the parcel, dividing by 166, and 

multiplying by an adjustment factor of 0. 785.

GQ. Oversized Pieces 

Regardless of weight, any piece that measures more than 108 inches (but 

not more than 130 inches) in length plus girth must pay the oversized 

price. As stated in the Domestic Mail Manual, any piece that is found to 

be over the 70 pound maximum weight limitation is nonmailable, will not 

be delivered, and may be subject to the $100.00 overweight item charge. 

~- Forwarding and Returns 

Parcel Select pieces that are forwarded on request of the addressee or 

forwarded or returned on request of the mailer will be subject to the 

applicable Parcel Select Ground price, plus $3.00, when forwarded or

Extension: 

Rule 2a–7 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Rule 2a–7 (17 CFR 270.2a–7) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(15 U.S.C. 80a) (the ‘‘Act’’) governs 

money market funds. Money market 

funds are open-end management 

investment companies that differ from 

other open-end management investment 

companies in that they seek to maintain 

a stable price per share, usually $1.00. 

The rule exempts money market funds 

from the valuation requirements of the 

Act, and, subject to certain risk-limiting 

conditions, permits money market funds 

to use the ‘‘amortized cost method’’ of 

asset valuation or the ‘‘penny-rounding 

method’’ of share pricing. 

Rule 2a–7 also imposes certain 

recordkeeping and reporting obligations 

on money market funds. The board of 

directors of a money market fund, in 

supervising the fund’s operations, must 

establish written procedures designed to 

stabilize the fund’s net asset value 

(‘‘NAV’’); establish written procedures 

to test periodically the ability of the 

fund to maintain a stable NAV based on 

certain hypothetical events (‘‘stress 

testing’’); review, revise, and approve 

written procedures to stress test a fund’s 

portfolio; and create a report to the fund 

board documenting the results of stress
