INCREASED RATES

An increase in international surface and airmail rates averaging 13 per-cent will go into effect May 1, 1967 to help offset a current operating deficit of about $16 million annually in international postal service.

The increase will not apply to mailings for members of the Armed Forces overseas. Domestic postage rates are applicable to mail addressed through APOs and FPOs.

The changes in rates were first proposed in January 14 Federal Register, giving interested parties thirty days to answer. The confirmed rates appeared in today’s Federal Register and will be put into effect by the Postmaster General under his administrative authority. No legislation is needed.

Comments dealing with the increased rates for magazines clarified mailing problems of publishers. Accordingly, as is shown in point No.8 below, the originally proposed increase in rates to Canada were modified by delaying the effective date. Highlights of the final action are:

1. Airmail letters to Central America and the Caribbean will be increased from 13c, per half ounce to 15c.

2. Airmail to the rest of the Western Hemisphere will remain at 15c per half ounce, except for Canada and Mexico.

3. Airmail to Europe and Mediterranean Africa will be increased from 15c per half ounce to 20c.

4. Airmail letter rates to the rest of the World will remain unchanged at 25c a half ounce.

5. Aerogrammes and air post cards will be increased 2c each from 11c to 13c.

6. Items sent by air, other than letters and parcels, such as small packages, periodicals, books and other printed matter will be increased 10c per piece to all countries except Canada.

7. Most letters going by surface transportation to all nations (excluding Canada and Mexico) will be increased from 11c to 13c. Post cards will be raised from 7c to 8c.

8. Most printed matter, including publications, will be increased one cent per piece. For 2^nd class publications, to Canada only, the one cent increase will be deferred for six months to become effective on November 1, 1967. Also, the present bundling rate which permits postage to be computed on the bulk weight of packages of publications addressed to Canadian post offices will remain in effect until November 1, 1968, at which time it will be discontinued.

9. Surface parcel post rates to all nations will be increased 20c per parcel, an average of 7 per cent.

Postage rates for surface 1^st class letters and air letters and surface 3^rd class type printed matter to Canada and Mexico correspond to U.S. domestic rates, which are set by the Congress, and are not being changed at this time.
