Audits of States, Local Governments,

A–133 Compliance Supplement

AGENCY: Office of Management and

ACTION: Notice of availability of the 1998

35278), the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) issued the final notice of

revision to Circular A–133, ‘‘Audits of

States, Local Governments, and NonProfit Organizations.’’ The notice also

offered interested parties an opportunity

to comment on Appendix B to Circular

A–133 which was entitled ‘‘Circular A–

133 Compliance Supplement

(provisional).’’ OMB received comments

from eight different respondents. In

general, commenters were very satisfied

with the approach and clarity of the

document. The 1998 Circular A–133

Compliance Supplement (1998

Supplement) has been updated to add

47 additional programs, update for

program changes, make technical

corrections, and make changes reflected

in the public comment letters. A list of

changes to the 1998 Supplement can be

found at Appendix 5 of the supplement.

Due to its length, the 1998 Supplement

is not included in this Notice. See

POSTAL SERVICE

Proposed Changes to Current Delivery

Record Filing System

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In the fall of 1998, the Postal

Service will begin testing a new

technological process that eliminates

hardcopy filing of delivery records. If

the test is successful, subsequent

changes are planned in the portions of

the Domestic Mail Manual and

Domestic Mail Classification Schedule

concerning delivery record information

to reflect that hardcopy records will no

longer be retained at the office of

address.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 10, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail or deliver written

comments to the Manager, Expedited

and Package Information Systems, USPS

Headquarters, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW,

Room 4200NB, Washington, DC 20260–

4299.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Carrie Bornitz, 202–268–6797.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope

A national Postal Service database for

maintaining delivery date, time, and

other information is already in place

and is being used for Express Mail

items. This database is also being

expanded to include electronic Delivery

Confirmation records. Additional testing

will include material handling,

operations, and systems tests for the

capturing, routing, optical scanning,

storage, and retrieval of electronic

records that include a signature. Testing

of this universal strategy for signature

capture is expected to begin in August,

1998, and will be completed by

November, 1998. The Postal Service

believes that the increased accessibility

of an electronic database will improve

customer service and response time, and

speed up processes involving the filing

of indemnity claims.

Current Internal Use

Delivery records are maintained for

Postal Service use to reply to delivery

inquiries and to substantiate indemnity

claims. Current delivery records include

article number, recipient signature,

printed name (optional), delivery

address, and delivery date. Records are

also made available to customers in the

form of a Return Receipt After Mailing

or Duplicate Return Receipt. The Postal

Service currently maintains delivery

records for Express Mail, COD,

Certified, Numbered Insured,

Registered, Restricted Delivery, and

Return Receipt for Merchandise items.

The majority of records are maintained

in hardcopy format at the office of

delivery. However, some large offices

use alternative methods where forms

from several delivery units or offices are

consolidated in a centralized location

for filing and retrieval. Electronic

records, without signature information,

are maintained for Express Mail and

Delivery Confirmation items in a

centralized database.

Future Internal Use

The use of delivery record

information will not change under this

program. The delivery record will

include the article number, date of

delivery, signature of recipient, name of

recipient, and addressee’s delivery

address if different from the address

shown on the mailpiece. All electronic

delivery records will be maintained at a

Postal Service central database.

Current Customer Use

When a customer/mailer requests a

Return Receipt, PS Form 3811, the

Postal Service provides the requester

with a return receipt showing to whom

and date delivered, and the addressee’s

delivery address if different from the

address shown on the mailpiece. (This

form also contains the customer/

recipient signature). When a customer/

mailer requests a Return Receipt After

Mailing, PS Form 3811–A, the Postal

Service provides the name and date of

delivery only. If a Duplicate Return

Receipt is requested because the original

service was not provided, the Postal

Service provides the recipient’s name,

date of delivery, and the addressee’s

delivery address if different from the

address shown on the mailpiece. If

delivery was not made, the customer/

mailer is provided this information as

well. No actual signatures are provided

with the latter two options. All

information is provided via the mails in

hardcopy format.

Future Customer Use

There would be no change in the

service provided by Return Receipt

options. Return Receipt (purchased at

the time of mailing) would remain the

same. Service would be improved for

Duplicate Return Receipt and Return

Receipt After Mailing by the inclusion

of an electronically produced image of

the customer/recipient’s signature.

Requesters would receive a Duplicate

Return Receipt or Return Receipt After

Mailing via fax or mail. The new form

design would closely mimic the current

form (PS Form 3811–A).

Chief Counsel, Legislative.
