SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Privacy Act System of Records USPS 120.151, 
Personnel Records--Recruiting, Examining, and Appointment Records, 
collects information for recruiting and recommending appointment of 
qualified individuals. Such information consists of personal and 
professional resumes, personal applications, test scores, medical 
assessments, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, 
employment certifications, medical records, and registers of eligibles. 
System locations include U.S. Postal Service personnel offices, the 
National Test Administration Center (NTAC), the Minneapolis Integrated 
Business Systems Solutions Center (MIBSSC), and/or other offices within 
Postal Service facilities authorized to engage in recruiting or 
examining activities or to make appointments to positions. This notice 
expands the system location to include contractor sites.

to perform services relative to assessment, such as scoring tests. For 
that reason, the system location is expanded to include contractor 
sites. Any contractor who maintains information collected by this 
system is made subject to the Privacy Act in accordance with subsection 
(m) and is required to apply appropriate protections subject to the 
audit and inspection of the Postal Inspection Service.
