SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2019, the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) published OMB memorandum M-19-16, ``Centralized 
Mission Support Capabilities for the Federal Government'' (available at 
https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/M-19-16.pdf). 
Mission support business standards, established and agreed to by the 
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act agencies, using the Federal 
Integrated Business Framework website at https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf/, 
enable the Federal Government to better coordinate on the decision-
making needed to determine what mission support services can be adopted 
and commonly shared. These business standards are an essential first 
step towards agreement on outcomes, data, and cross-functional end-to-
end processes that will drive economies of scale and leverage the 
government's buying power. The business standards will be used as the 
foundation for common mission support services shared by the CFO Act 
agencies.
    GSA serves as the mail operations management business standards 
lead on the Business Standards Council. The goal of the mail operations 
management business standards is to develop an agreed upon set of 
business processes and capabilities for mail operations management that 
affects Federal agencies and serves as the foundation for future 
acquisition and modernization efforts.
    GSA is seeking public feedback on the business standards, including 
comments on the understandability of the standards, suggested changes 
and usefulness of the draft standards to industry and agencies.
    Guiding questions in the standards development include:
     Do the draft business standards appropriately document the 
business processes covered?
     Are the draft business standards easy to understand?
     Will your organization be able to show how your solutions 
or services, or both, can meet these draft business standards?
     What would you change about the draft business standards? 
Is there anything missing?

    Comments will be used in the formulation of the final mail 
operations management business standards.

Mehul Parekh,
Acting Associate Administrator, Office of Government-wide Policy, U.S. 
General Services Administration.
