Global Express Guaranteed

    Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is an international expedited 
delivery service provided through an alliance with FedEx 
Express[supreg]
    The price increase for retail GXG service averages 3.7 percent. The 
commercial base price for customers who prepare and pay for shipments 
online at USPS.com[supreg] or by using an authorized PC Postage[supreg] 
vendor remains 10 percent below the retail price.
    In addition, we are making the following product features and 
classification changes:

Permit Imprint

    To provide additional payment options for customers we are 
authorizing permit imprint as a new postage payment option for GXG 
service. To use this payment option, customers must use USPS[supreg]-
produced Global Shipping Software (GSS) and pay for postage with a 
permit imprint through an advance deposit account. The commercial base 
price is automatically applied to each shipment

[[Page 69335]]

but does not apply to any other charges or fees.

IBI Payment Method

    We are eliminating the commercial base price for customers who pay 
for GXG shipments with information-based indicia (IBI) postage meters. 
The commercial base price will only apply for customers who pay with 
permit imprint (in conjunction with GSS or a functional equivalent), 
Click-N-Ship[supreg] service, or an authorized PC Postage vendor.

Express Mail International

    Express Mail International (EMI) service provides reliable, high-
speed service to over 190 countries with a money-back, date-certain 
delivery guarantee to select destinations.
    The price increase for retail Express Mail International service 
averages 3.1 percent. The commercial base price for customers that 
prepare and pay for shipments via permit imprint when used in 
conjunction with GSS, online at USPS.com, or by using an authorized PC 
Postage vendor remains 8 percent below the retail price.
    In addition, the following product features and classification 
changes are made:

Price Groups

    We are expanding our price groups from 10 to 17. With this change, 
9 of the 17 price groups will be assigned to a specific country. 
Previously, only two price groups were assigned to a specific country 
(Canada and Mexico). The other eight price groups will contain multiple 
countries. The seven new specific Express Mail International country 
price groups are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                  Price
                            Country                               group
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Britain & Northern Ireland...............................       11
Japan..........................................................       12
France.........................................................       13
China..........................................................       14
Brazil.........................................................       15
Germany........................................................       16
Netherlands....................................................       17
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flat Rate Envelope Pricing for Mexico

    For the Express Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes, the Postal 
Service is combining Mexico with the ``All Other Countries'' price 
tier. Previously, Mexico was combined with the Canada price tier. Only 
Canada will now have a unique price for Express Mail International Flat 
Rate Envelopes.

Legal-Size Flat Rate Envelope

    To provide additional mailing options for customers, we are 
introducing a new legal-size Express Mail International Flat Rate 
Envelope. The new larger envelope, which measures 15 inches by 9\1/2\ 
inches, enables customers to pay a flat rate to ship legal-size 
documents without folding them. The Express Mail Legal Flat Rate 
Envelope will be the same price as the regular Express Mail Flat Rate 
Envelope.

IBI Payment Method

    We are eliminating the commercial base price for customers who pay 
for Express Mail International shipments with IBI postage meters or 
with an Express Mail Corporate Account. With this change, the 
commercial base price will only apply for customers who pay with permit 
imprint (in conjunction with GSS or an approved functional equivalent), 
Click-N-Ship service, or an authorized PC Postage vendor.

Express Mail Corporate Account Payment Method

    We are also eliminating the Express Mail Corporate Account 
commercial base volume prices under current IMM 223.231. Customers who 
currently receive these discounts for outbound Express Mail 
International shipments may qualify for lower prices by using a permit 
imprint in conjunction with GSS under new IMM 223.222.

Return Receipt

    Due to minimal demand, we will no longer offer return receipt 
service with Express Mail International service.

Priority Mail International

    Priority Mail International (PMI) offers economical prices for 
reliable delivery of documents and merchandise, usually within 6 to 10 
business days to many major destinations.
    The price increase for retail Priority Mail International service 
averages 3.8 percent. The commercial base price for customers that 
prepare and pay for shipments via permit imprint when used in 
conjunction with GSS, online at http://www.usps.com, or by using an 
authorized PC Postage vendor remains 5 percent below the retail price.
    In addition, with this final rule, the following product features 
and classification changes:

Price Groups

    Priority Mail International price groups expand from 10 to 17 
groups. With this change, 9 of the 17 price groups will be assigned to 
a specific country. Previously, only two price groups were assigned to 
a specific country (Canada and Mexico). The other eight price groups 
will contain multiple countries. The seven new specific country price 
groups are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                  Price
                            Country                               group
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great Britain & Northern Ireland...............................       11

Brazil.........................................................       15
Germany........................................................       16
Netherlands....................................................       17
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flat Rate Envelope Additions

    We are introducing several new variations of the Priority Mail Flat 
Rate Envelope and expanding the items eligible for the Priority Mail 
Small Flat Rate Box Price. This includes a new legal-size Priority Mail 
International Flat Rate Envelope. The new larger envelope, which 
measures 15 inches by 9\1/2\ inches, enables customers to pay a flat 
rate to ship legal-size documents without folding them. The Priority 
Mail Legal Flat Rate Envelope will be the same price as the regular 
Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope. These new variations of the Priority 
Mail Flat Rate Envelope and the Priority Mail Small Flat Rate box may 
not be insured but may be registered based on eligibility for the 
country destination.

Padded Flat Rate Envelope

    A new padded Priority Mail International Flat Rate envelope is 
introduced which measures 12\1/2\ inches by 9\1/2\ inches and enables 
customers to ship lightweight merchandise at a flat rate. The Priority 
Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope will be the same price as the regular 
Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope. The Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope 
may not be insured but may be registered based on country destination.

Incorporating Canada Into Insurance Tier

    We are eliminating the separate price tier for Canada when optional 
insurance is purchased for Priority Mail International parcels. With 
this change, all insurance fees for Priority Mail International parcels 
will be the same. The current maximum insurance limit for Canada 
remains the same at $675.00.

IBI Payment Method

    We are eliminating the commercial base price for customers who pay 
for Priority Mail International shipments with IBI postage meters. With 
this change, the commercial base price will only apply for customers 
who pay with permit imprint (in conjunction with GSS or an approved 
functional equivalent), Click-N-Ship service, or an authorized PC 
Postage vendor.

[[Page 69336]]

International Priority Airmail (IPA)

    IPA service, including IPA M-bags, is a commercial service designed 
for business mailers for volume mailings of all First-Class Mail 
International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and packages 
(small packets) weighing up to 4 pounds. The price increase for IPA 
service averages 3.3 percent. There is no price change for IPA M-bags.

International Surface Air Lift (ISAL)

    ISAL service, including ISAL M-bags, is a commercial service, which 
provides expedited dispatch and transportation for mailers of volume 
mailings of all First-Class Mail International postcards, letters, 
large envelopes (flats), and packages (small packets) weighing up to 4 
pounds. The price increase for ISAL service averages 6.4 percent. There 
is no price change for ISAL M-bags.

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (M-Bags)

    Airmail M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter sent to a single 
foreign addressee at a single address. The price increase for Airmail 
M-bags averages 5.8 percent.

International Extra Services

    Depending on destination and mail type, customers may continue to 
add a variety of extra services to their outbound shipments.
    For our competitive offerings, we revised the prices for the 
following international extra services: Express Mail International 
insurance, Priority Mail International insurance, and international 
postal money orders. The price increase for extra services averages 7.9 
percent.
