**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

The Postal Service hereby gives notice that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3622, on January 15, 2015, it filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission a *Notice of Market-Dominant Price Adjustment.* Proposed prices and other documents relevant to this filing are available under Docket No. R2015-4 on the PRC's Web site at *www.prc.gov.*

This proposed rule includes price changes for First-Class Mail International® and certain international extra services. All of the proposed price change percentages are based on CPI prices approved by the PRC in Docket No. 2103-10, plus the Exigent Surcharge approved by the PRC in Docket No. R2013-11.

**First-Class Mail International**

We propose to increase prices for single-piece First-Class Mail International letters, postcards, and flats by approximately 4.2 percent. (Under this proposal, the 2-ounce letter-size price to Canada will continue at the same price as the 1-ounce letter-size price to Canada.)

**International Extra Services and Fees**

The Postal Service proposes to increase prices for certain international market dominant extra services including:

• Certificate of Mailing (0.35%)

• Registered Mail <sub>TM</sub> (2.2%)

• Return Receipt (2.7%).

Following the completion of Docket No. R2015-4, the Postal Service will adjust the prices for products and services covered by the International Mail Manual. These prices will be on *Postal Explorer®* at *pe.usps.com.*
