NOAAâs Fisheries Service will require commercial fishermen who fish for yellowfin tuna, swordfish and other species with longlines in the Gulf of Mexico to use a new type of hook, called a weak hook, designed to reduce the incidental catch of Atlantic bluefin tuna. The hooks will be required starting May 5, 2011.
Forever Stamps are always sold at the same price as a regular First-Class Mail stamp. The Postal Service developed the Forever Stamp for consumers ease of use during price changes. Forever Stamps are available for purchase at post offices nationwide, online at usps.com, and by phone at 1-800-STAMP-24 (1-800-782-6724).
Re: Using stamps - getting the amount correct with new stamps? The Forever stamp is always going to be worth whatever the current postage rate for 1 ounce is. So even you bought it for 46 cents it is now worth 49 cents of postage. I always have a small supply of add on stamps that I can attach for oversize, overweight, second ounce, etc. letters.
