39 CFR Part 3


Amendment to Bylaws of the Board of Governors

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 15, 2004, the Board of Governors of the United States 
Postal Service adopted a revision to its bylaws. The purpose of this 
revision was to reserve the selection of the independent external 
auditor to the Presidentially-appointed Governors rather than the full 
Board of Governors. Consequently, the Postal Service hereby publishes 
this final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 15, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William T. Johnstone, Secretary of the 
Board, U.S. Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Washington, DC 
20260-1000, (202) 268-4800.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document publishes a revision to 39 CFR 
3.3 and 3.4 of the Bylaws of the Board of Governors of the United 
States Postal Service. The Board removed and reserved Sec.  3.3(o) 
which reserved for the full Board the selection of the independent 
outside auditor. The Board added a new paragraph (k) to Sec.  3.4 to 
reserve for the Governors the selection of the independent outside 
auditor. The changes were adopted by the Board on June 15, 2004. The 
purpose of the changes was to reserve the selection of the independent 
external auditor to the Presidentially-appointed Governors rather than 
the full Board of Governors.
