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).
A forever stamp is a stamp that is valued (sold and cancelled) at the current local letter rate of postage. For example, if the current cost of local postage is 50 cent â¦ s, the forever stamp is valued at 50 cents. If the price of postage rises (or miraculously, falls) the value of the forever stamp would be the new value. The forever stamp is forever valued at that rate. So, before the price goes up, buy a lot of forever stamps and you will save money. Forever stamps also save having to use 1 or 2 cent stamps to cover the postage increase. Saves you and the post office time and money.
