The weight distribution of parcels sent in a certain manner is normal with a mean value of 17 lb and a standard deviation of 3.7 lb. The parcel service wishes to establish a weight value \(c\) beyond which there will be a surcharge.

**What value of \(c\) is such that 99% of all parcels are at least 1 lb under the surcharge weight?** (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

\[c = \boxed{\phantom{x}} \text{ lb}\]

You may need to use the appropriate table in the Appendix of Tables to answer this question.
