SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On April 19, 1999, the Postal Service announced in the Federal Register (62 FR 19039-19042) the introduction of Priority Mail Global Guaranteed on an interim basis.

The Postal Service, through an alliance with DHL Worldwide Express Inc., is offering an enhanced expedited service, Priority Mail Global Guaranteed, from selected locations in the United States to most countries. This service offers day-certain delivery with postage refund guarantee and document reconstruction coverage of $100 for allowable contents.

On November 4, 1999, the Postal Service announced in the Federal Register (64 FR 60106-60109) an amendment to the interim rule to add more U.S. acceptance locations and to extend the service to more destination countries. On May 26, 2000, the Postal Service again amended the interim rule in the Federal Register (65 FR 34096-34101) to change rates for Priority Mail Global Guaranteed service and to provide service to most countries. Public comments were requested by June 26, 2000, and by that date one comment was received. The comment related to the way in which the Postal Service categorized the U.S. acceptance offices and how the acceptance offices were selected.

The acceptance offices are selected on their ability to meet the stringent service standards for this service based on local considerations such as timely transportation, mail processing capabilities, and access to national transportation. Most decisions are made by local postal officials and are based on local conditions and the ability to have reasonable acceptance times. The Postal Service will continue to evaluate the acceptance network and expand it when service can be reasonably provided.

The Postal Service is amending the interim rule on Priority Mail Global Guaranteed service to change rates for this service, add additional acceptance offices, introduce optional document reconstruction insurance coverage up to $2,499, and provide service to China.

The rates have been refined to have separate rates for all rates groups. In addition, a number of destinations are assigned to different rates groups. The redesigned rate schedule better reflects the cost of providing the service.

Service is also being added to China. It should be noted that due to circumstances beyond the control of the Postal Service, service to Brazil has been temporarily suspended. Service will be available to all country destinations listed in the International Mail Manual (IMM) except Afghanistan, Ascension, Brazil, Iraq, Japan, Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North), Libya, Pitcairn Island, Saint Helena, Sudan, and Tristan de Cunha.

The applicable rates and the destination countries that are associated with each rate group are as follows:

Currently, Priority Mail Global Guaranteed service includes document reconstruction insurance up to $100 per shipment at no additional charge. The Postal Service is introducing optional document reconstruction insurance up to a maximum of $2,499. The fee for this coverage is $0.70 per $100 of additional insurance over the initial reconstruction insurance coverage for $100 that is provided. Optional insurance may be purchased only for the declared value of the shipment or a lesser amount as limited by the country of destination, content, or value.

Although the Postal Service is exempted by 39 U.S.C. 410(a) from the advance notice requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act regarding proposed rulemaking (5 U.S.C. 553), the Postal Service invites public comment on the amendment to the interim rule at the above address.

The Postal Service is amending International Mail Manual chapter 2, Conditions for Mailing, which is incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 20.1.

A transmittal letter changing the relevant pages in the International Mail Manual will be published and automatically transmitted to all subscribers. Notice of issuance of the transmittal will be published in the Federal Register as provided by 39 CFR 20.3.
