BILLING CODE 7710–FW–P 

POSTAL SERVICE 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The United States Postal 

Service® (Postal Service) is proposing to 

modify a General Privacy Act System of 

Records (SOR) to support an initiative 

that promotes innovation by issuing 

challenges and soliciting responses from 

participants through a crowd sourced 

solution. 

DATES: These revisions will become 

effective without further notice on 

September 16, 2021, unless, in response 

to comments received on or before that 

date result in a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted via email to the Privacy and 

Records Management Office, United 

States Postal Service Headquarters 

(privacy@usps.gov). To facilitate public 

inspection, arrangements to view copies 

of any written comments received will 

be made upon request. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Janine Castorina, Chief Privacy and 

Records Management Officer, Privacy 

and Records Management Office, 202– 

268–3069 or privacy@usps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is in accordance with the Privacy 

Act requirement that agencies publish 

their systems of records in the Federal 

Register when there is a revision, 

change, or addition, or when the agency 

establishes a new system of records. The 

Postal Service is proposing revisions to 

an existing system of records (SOR) to 

support innovation in its operations by 

way of crowd sourced solutions. 

I. Background 

The Postal Service is seeking to 

reduce the cost and enhance the value 

of proposed solutions to problems faced 

by the organization that promote 

efficient and effective operation. As part 

of this initiative, USPS is soliciting 

collaborative methods to develop 

models, infrastructure, and innovation 

platforms to enhance USPS’s 

capabilities. The objectives of this 

initiative will advance the mission of 

USPS by: 

• Supporting USPS Technology 

Development and Applications 

• Providing the ability to award prizes 

competitively to stimulate innovation 

II. Rationale for Changes to USPS 

Privacy Act Systems of Records 

The Postal Service is proposing to 

modify USPS SOR 400.000, Supplier 

and Tenant Records in support of an 

innovative approach for gathering 

feedback and ideas regarding challenges 

faced and topics of interest. USPS 

routinely encounters challenging 

science, technology, and engineering 

problems in the ordinary course of 

providing postal services. USPS is 

working with another federal agency 

with expertise in solving problems by 

way of crowd sourced solutions. 

USPS seeks to utilize that expertise to 

aid it in formulating and conducting 

challenges for crowd sourced solutions 

with the purpose of identifying problem 

sets that have objectives suitable for 

generating innovative solutions using a 

distributed innovation model. USPS 

will further this objective by sponsoring 

competitions and challenges to generate 

innovative solutions. 

Two new purposes have been added 

to USPS SOR 400.000, Supplier and 

Tenant Records, along with a new 

Category of Records and a record 

retention and disposal policy that 

pertain to records maintained by the 

crowd sourced initiative. The Postal 

Service will also change the name of the 

SOR from ‘‘USPS SOR 400.000, 

Supplier and Tenant Records’’ to ‘‘USPS 

SOR 400.000, Supplier Records, Tenant 

Records, and Records related to other 

Agreements’’ to reflect the scope of 

information that will be maintained by 

this system of records. 

III. Description of the Modified System 

of Records 

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 

revisions to this SOR has been sent to 

Congress and to the Office of 

Management and Budget for their 

evaluations. The Postal Service does not 

expect this modified system of records 

to have any adverse effect on individual 

privacy rights. Accordingly, for the 

reasons stated above, the Postal Service 

proposes revisions to this system of 

records as follows: 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

USPS 400.000 Supplier Records, 

Tenant Records, and Records related to 

other Agreements. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

USPS Headquarters; supply 

management offices; facilities service 

offices; area and district facilities, and 

contractor sites.

L’Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 

20260. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:

PURPOSE(S):

2. To determine supplier suitability 

for assignments requiring access to mail. 

3. To adjudicate claims by owners and 

tenants of real property acquired by

participation in innovative challenges 

sponsored by USPS. 

5. To provide an interactive forum 

that promotes innovation by challenging 

participants to gather ideas and relevant 

feedback about selected problems and 

topics using crowd sourced solutions. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

Suppliers; prospective suppliers; 

owners and tenants of real property 

purchased or leased by USPS; 

participants in challenges sponsored by 

USPS.
