POSTAL SERVICE


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Postal Service[supreg].

ACTION: Notice of establishment of new system of records; suspension of 
implementation date.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Postal Service[supreg] (Postal Service) is 
temporarily delaying the implementation date for establishing a new 
Customer Privacy Act System of Records (SOR) to support the Informed 
DeliveryTM service. This delay will enable the Postal 
Service to review and evaluate public comments, and determine if 
substantive changes to the proposed system are advisable or necessary.

DATES: This system was previously scheduled to become effective on 
September 26, 2016. In view of comments received in advance of that 
date, the Postal Service has determined that it would be appropriate to 
delay the implementation of the SOR in its entirety while we consider 
what, if any, substantive changes may be required. If the Postal 
Service determines that certain portions of this SOR should be changed 
or eliminated, we will provide notice of that action, and publish a 
description of the revised SOR for further comment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janine Castorina, Chief Privacy 
Officer, Privacy and Records Office, United States Postal Service, 475 
L'Enfant Plaza SW., Room 1P830, Washington, DC 20260-0004, telephone 
202-268-3069, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 25, 2016, the Postal Service 
published notice of its intent to establish a new system of records to 
support an expansion of its Informed DeliveryTM service (81 
FR 58542). (Informed DeliveryTM is a digital service that 
allows enrolled users to receive an email notification that contains 
grayscale images of the outside of their letter-sized mailpieces 
processed by USPS automation equipment prior to delivery. This service 
is offered at no cost to the consumer.) In response to this notice, we 
received comments that generally supported the concept of the new SOR, 
but expressed desire for more specific information regarding the types 
of data to be collected by the system, and the potential uses (or 
abuses) of that information.

Attorney, Federal Compliance.
