SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 3, 2009, the Governors of the Postal Service established prices and classification changes for competitive products, pursuant to their authority under 39 U.S.C. 3632. On February 24, 2009, the Governors' Decision and the record of proceedings in connection with the Decision were published in the Federal Register as required by 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(2). Following the adoption of the Governor's Decision, it was discovered that one of the rate tables, pertaining to International Surface Air Lift M-Bag ISC (ISC Drop Shipment), set out in section 2230.6 of the Mail Classification Schedule, included seven incorrect incremental rates for Rate Group 11. The Postal Service advised the Governors of the errors and provided them with a revised copy of the table incorporating the correct rates. The corrected rate table subsequently was filed by the Postal Service with the Postal Regulatory Commission on February 20, 2009.

Need for Correction

One of the rate tables contained in section 2230.6 of the Mail Classification Schedule, as adopted by Governors' Decision No. 09-01, did not incorporate the correct incremental rates for International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) M-Bag drop-shipment in Rate Group 11.

Correction
