BILLING CODE 7710–FW-P

POSTAL SERVICE

Privacy Act of 1974; System of

Records

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Notice of amendment and

addition of new routine use for an

existing system of records.

SUMMARY: This document publishes

notice of modifications to Privacy Act

system of records USPS 050.005,

Finance Records—Accounts Receivable

Files. The proposed modifications add a

new routine use and restore an earlier

removal from the description of the

categories of individuals covered by the

system.

The routine use allows disclosure of

limited information to a Postal Service

permit holder or presenter of a bulk

mailing when the customer on whose

behalf the mailing was made has

submitted a nonsufficient funds check

for payment of postage. The categories

of individuals segment is amended to

restore the previously removed category

of customers whose checks are returned

by the bank.

This notice complies with subsection

(e)(11) of the Privacy Act, which

requires agencies to publish advance

notice of any new use of information in

a system of records.

DATES: Any interested party may submit

written comments on the proposed

amendments and addition. This

proposal will become effective without

further notice on January 16, 1996,

unless comments received on or before

that date result in a contrary

determination.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

proposal should be mailed or delivered

to Payroll Accounting/Records, United

States Postal Service, 475 L’Enfant Plaza

SW, Room 8650, Washington, DC

20260–5242. Copies of all written

comments will be available at the above

address for public inspection and

photocopying between 8 a.m. and 4:45

p.m., Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Betty E. Sheriff, (202) 268–2608.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Privacy

Act system of records USPS 050.005,

Finance Records—Accounts Receivable

Files, contains records used to facilitate

the collection of debts owed to the

Postal Service. It is proposed that the

system be amended to add routine use

No. 8 and to replace in the categories of

individuals segment the category of

customers whose checks are returned by

the bank.

Proposed routine use No. 8 permits

the Postal Service to disclose to a permit

holder or presenter of a mailing

information concerning a nonsufficient

funds check used by the permit holder

or presenter to pay postage for a

customer on whose behalf a mailing was

made. When a permit holder or

presenter of a mailing submits a mailing

to the Postal Service, the mailing may

have been prepared for an individual or

organization other than the permit

holder or presenter. In such cases, the

permit holder or presenter of the

mailing may, for payment of postage,

submit the check of the individual or

organization for which the mailing is

prepared. Currently, the Postal Service

pursues collection for nonsufficient

funds checks directly from the permit

holder or presenter of the mailing.

Under a new policy, the Postal Service

will pursue collection for nonsufficient

funds check directly from the check

writer. Post offices may then refuse to

accept further check payment of postage

and fees by that check writer. For that

transaction and future transactions, it

might be necessary to disclose to the

permit holder or presenter of the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 1995 / Notices 62901

mailing that the individual or

organization for whom the mailing was

made has submitted a check for

nonsufficient funds. New routine use

No. 8 permits such disclosure.

The proposed routine use is

compatible with the purpose for

collecting the information, that is,

facilitating debt collection and

preventing the future acceptance of bad

checks from repeat offenders. Because

the disclosures allowed by this routine

use will enable the Postal Service to

protect itself from bad-check writers, the

routine use is clearly compatible with

the purpose of USPS Privacy Act system

050.005.

The categories of individuals segment

of the system notice formerly included

the language ‘‘customers whose checks

are returned by the bank.’’ That

language, intended to cover records that

include existing local lists of such

customers, was removed in an

administrative error. This notice

restores the language.

All records within USPS Privacy Act

system 050.005 continue to be kept in

a secured environment, with automated

data processing (ADP) physical and

administrative security and technical

software applied to data on computer

media. Paper records are kept in a

secured area of the post office and are

made available internally on an official

need-to-know basis. Contractors who

maintain data collected by USPS

Privacy Act system 050.005 are subject

to subsection (m) of the Privacy Act and

are required to apply appropriate

protections subject to the audit and

inspection of the Postal Inspection

Service.

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

system has been sent to Congress and to

the Office of Management and Budget

for their evaluation.

USPS Privacy Act system 050.005 was

last published in its entirety in the

Federal Register on October 26, 1989

(54 FR 43666–43667) and was amended

in the Federal Register on December 22,

1994 (59 FR 66061–66062). The Postal

Service proposes amending USPS

Privacy Act system 050.005 as shown

below.
