AGENCY:

Postal Service ^TM

ACTION:

Final rule; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Postal Service published in the Federal Register of February 25, 2009, a document concerning international product and price changes for implementation in May 2009. Inadvertently, Exhibit 292.452 included in that document, did not include all destination countries and price groups. This document corrects the table.

DATES:

This correction is effective and is applicable on May 11, 2009. We will implement this international price change concurrent with our domestic Mailing Services price change on May 11, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Rick Klutts at 813-877-0372.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Postal Service published a document in the Federal Register on February 25, 2009, (74 FR 8473) amending sub-section 292 of the International Mail Manual (IMM®). In FR doc. 36-8473, published in the Federal Register of February 25, 2009, (74 FR 8473) sub-section 292.452 was inadvertently published without a complete list of IPA destination countries. This amendment corrects Exhibit 292.452 published on February 25, 2009.

In rule FR Doc. E9-3962 published on February 25, 2009, (74 FR 8473) make the following correction. On pages 8477-8480, remove the current Exhibit 292.452 and insert the following exhibit.
