POSTAL SERVICE


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.

ACTION: Notice of modification to existing systems of records.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Postal Service[supreg] is proposing to 
modify two Customer Privacy Act Systems of Records. These updates are 
being made to account for additional communication methods that the 
Postal Service will use to contact customers with regard to the 
delivery of their mail and packages.

DATES: These revisions will become effective without further notice on 
February 20, 2014 unless comments received on or before that date 
result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed or delivered to the Records Office, 
United States Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 9431, 
Washington, DC 20260-1101. Copies of all written comments will be 
available at this address for public inspection and photocopying 
between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew J. Connolly, Chief Privacy 
Officer, Privacy and Records Office, 202-268-8582.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is in accordance with the 
Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their amended systems of 
records in the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or 
addition. The Postal ServiceTM has reviewed these systems of 
records and has determined that this General Privacy Act System of 
Records should be revised to modify categories of records in the 
system, purpose(s), and system manager(s) and address.

I. Background

    To improve mail delivery and customer service, the Postal Service 
is enhancing current services to allow for customer notification upon 
delivery, and introducing new services and options that will enable 
customers to designate a specific location for the delivery of their 
mail and packages.

II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records

    The systems of records 820.200, Mail Management and Tracking 
Activity, and 880.000, Post Office and Retail Services, are being 
modified to account for the collection of a customer's text message 
number. The Postal Service will use the text message number to notify 
Collect On Delivery customers that their mail is ready to be delivered, 
to communicate with Package InterceptTM customers to re-
route mail deliveries as requested, and to confirm that a package has 
been delivered to the specific locations requested by customers who use 
the forthcoming Electronically Authorize Shipment Release feature. The 
Postal Service also proposes to amend the purposes of each SOR to 
include providing customers with mail or package delivery options.
    The Postal Service is also updating and deleting system manager 
titles to reflect the current structure of the organization.

III. Description of Changes to Systems of Records

    The Postal Service is modifying two systems of records listed 
below. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(11), interested persons are 
invited to submit written data, views, or arguments on this proposal. A 
report of the proposed modifications has been sent to Congress and to 
the Office of Management and Budget for their evaluation. The Postal 
Service does not expect this amended notice to have any adverse effect 
on individual privacy rights. The affected systems are as follows:

USPS 820.200
SYSTEM NAME: Mail Management and Tracking Activity
USPS 880.000
SYSTEM NAME: Post Office and Retail Services

    Accordingly, for the reasons stated, the Postal Service proposes 
changes in the existing systems of records as follows:

USPS 820.200

SYSTEM NAME:

    Mail Management and Tracking Activity
