39 CFR Part 20


International Mail: Product Rate and Fee Changes

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 11, 2012, the Postal Service filed a notice of 
international mailing services price adjustments with the Postal 
Regulatory Commission (PRC), effective on January 27, 2013. On October 
23, 2012, the USPSTM published a proposed rule in the 
Federal Register with changes to Mailing Standards of the United States 
Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM[supreg]). The proposed 
rule included changes that we would adopt to implement the changes 
coincident with the price adjustments and classification changes, 
including changes resulting from the Postal Regulatory Commission 
granting the Postal Service's request in Docket No. MC2012-44 to 
transfer First-Class Mail International[supreg] packages (small 
packets) and rolls from the market-dominant product list to the 
competitive product list. This final rule conveys the comments received 
on the proposal and the final mailing standards.

DATES: Effective January 27, 2013.

Subject: [Nodxa] IRC's

I still haven't heard for sure if the USPS will stop selling IRC's. My local
Post Office usually stocks them, but they were out today and the Clerk said
an order had been placed to restock them. Will they actually get more before
the rumored
1/27 end date? Time will tell.
 
In the meantime, I thought I'd try the USPS On-Line Ordering System to see
if I could still get them there. Well, they were still on their menu and I
decided to get a dozen just in case they became unavailable soon. I set up
an account and input my Credit Card and the Order went through OK.
 
If you want to get some just to be safe for the rest of this year, go to
this site and place your order:
 
https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?productId=S_3
30900&categoryId=subcatMSS_International
 
If nothing else, it may influence the USPS braintrust to at least continue
to offer them for sale on-line due to the volume of requests.
