39 CFR Part 20 

International Mail: New Postal Rates 

and Fees 

AGENCY: Postal Service. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Postal Service TM is 

adopting new international mail postage 

rates and fees. The total international 

rate increase is 5.9 percent. To the 

extent possible, the targeted increase is 

5.4 percent, consistent with our 

domestic rate filing with the Postal Rate 

Commission. We are implementing this 

international pricing change at the same 

time as our domestic pricing change. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: 12:01 a.m., Sunday, 

January 8, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Obataiye B. Akinwole at 202–268–7262, 

or Thomas P. Philson at 202–268–7355. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 15, 2005, the Postal Service 

published in the Federal Register (70 

FR 54493) a notice of proposed changes 

in international postage rates. We 

requested comments by October 17, 

2005, and received one comment from 

a private individual. 

The private individual asked why the 

1-ounce airmail letter-post rate is less 

than the rate for aerogrammes to Canada 

and Mexico. He envisions situations 

where customers might purchase 

aerogrammes at the full rate and alter 

them into airmail letter-post to secure 

the lower price. His solution is to print 

another aerogramme at the letter-post 

rate. 

We agree that aerogramme users could 

possibly alter their aerogrammes to 

receive the lower rate. Because of the 

relatively low volume of aerogrammes 

worldwide and the relatively low 

potential cost savings on each altered 

aerogramme, however, we do not 

believe this practice will be common or 

will result in serious revenue loss. In 

fact, the letter-post rate to Canada and 

Mexico is currently below the 

aerogramme rate, and this rate 

relationship has not caused the problem 

noted by the private individual. In 

addition, printing and stocking two 

aerogrammes with different postage 

rates would be costly. We note that 

enclosures are not permitted in 

aerogrammes. We have been advised by 

the private individual that mailers may 

try to send aerogrammes with 

enclosures, and we will monitor the 

situation and take action if necessary.
