Global Package Link Rate Adjustments and Introduction of Service to Argentina

Global Package Link (GPL) is an international mail service designed for companies sending merchandise packages to other countries. To use GPL, a customer is required to mail at least 10,000 packages per year using the service and agree to link its information systems with the Postal Service so that certain information about the contents of the customer's packages can be extracted for customs clearance and other purposes. The Postal Service is announcing new rates and a new discount structure for GPL. The increased rates are the result of declining economic conditions in Japan and other countries and rising costs, including implementation of harmonization for all items to Japan. Overall, the base rates are increased approximately 9 percent. See Appendix 1 for specific rates to each GPL country. Currently, GPL provides a volume discount within each country beginning at 100,000 packages. The new discount structure is based on a mailer's worldwide volume and discounts are available when volume reaches more than 25,000 packages per postal fiscal year. Discounts will increase with volume based on the following schedule:

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Discount Number of packages (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 25,001 to 50,000........................................... 1 50,001 to 75,000........................................... 2 75,001 to 100,000.......................................... 3 100,001 and over........................................... 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each year's discounts will be calculated on the previous postal fiscal year's volume and will apply to mailings made during the next calendar year. For example, a mailer who mails 55,000 packages during postal fiscal year 1998 (September 13, 1997 through September 11, 1998) will receive a discount from the base rate for all GPL mailings made during calendar year 1999 (January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999). Postal fiscal year 1998 will be used for discounts applied in calendar year 1999. The Postal Service is also introducing GPL service to Argentina. Two levels of service, Premium and Standard, will be offered. The maximum weight of parcels to Argentina is 44 pounds with a maximum size of 42 inches in length and a maximum length and girth combined of 79 inches. Rates are shown in Appendix 1. Packages sent in Premium service are insured at no additional charge subject to the provisions of Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) S010 and S500. No insurance is available for packages sent to Argentina as Standard service. 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 at the above address. The Postal Service is amending Subchapter 620, Global Package Link, and the appropriate Individual Country Listings, International Mail Manual, which are incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 20.1.

The Postal Service will notify the mailer electronically of the amount of duty and fees paid, and the mailer will reimburse the Postal Service in a manner and within a time agreed between the mailer and the Postal Service. Because of the need to have funds available for customers at the time of clearance in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, mailers must make an advance deposit prior to the first mailing to cover anticipated duties and taxes in addition to postage. * * *
