II. Summary of Changes
39 CFR 3040.212 requires the Postal Service to "notify the Commission of updates to size and weight limitations for [C]ompetitive mail matter" pursuant to 39 CFR 3040, subpart E. The Postal Service maintains that the Notice satisfies the requirements of 39 CFR 3040, subpart E because "the changes described should result in the MCS more accurately representing the Postal Service's current offerings." Id.; see 39 CFR 3040.190(a). The Postal Service states that the Notice is filed at least 15 days before the intended effective date, and the changes merely revise size limits for international small packets as they appear in the MCS without otherwise changing product offerings or the prices or price groups applicable to such products and countries. Notice at 2-3; 39 CFR 3040.190(b) and (c). The Postal Service concludes that "these minor classification changes do not constitute material changes, to the product descriptions of the products that might be affected." Notice at 3. The Notice includes a copy of the affected sections of the MCS with the proposed changes in legislative format as required by 39 CFR 3040.190(c)(3). Id. Attachment 1.
