Notice of modification to
existing systems of records.
ACTION:
The United States Postal
Service® (Postal Service) is proposing to
modify a General Privacy Act System of
Records. These updates will account for
an additional data element that the
Postal Service uses to identify
applicants, as well as how employee
and applicant information is retrieved
after a complaint or inquiry is received
by the Postal Service from an employee
or applicant who is deaf or hard of
hearing.
DATES: These revisions will become
effective without further notice on
January 27, 2014 unless comments
received on or before that date result in
a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to the Records Office,
United States Postal Service, 475
L’Enfant Plaza SW., Room 9431,
Washington, DC 20260–1101. Copies of
all written comments will be available
at this address for public inspection and
photocopying between 8 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Matthew J. Connolly, Chief Privacy
Officer, Privacy and Records Office,
202–268–8582.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is in accordance with the Privacy
Act requirement that agencies publish
their amended systems of records in the
Federal Register when there is a
revision, change, or addition. The Postal
ServiceTM has reviewed this system of
records and has determined that this
General Privacy Act System of Records
should be revised to modify categories
of records in the system and
retrievability.
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The Postal Service has entered into a
settlement to resolve all claims in a
national employment discrimination
class action lawsuit regarding deaf or
hard of hearing employees and
applicants. Among other things, the
settlement requires the Postal Service to
competitively select and enter into a
contract with an independent
ombudsperson. The ombudsperson will
serve for a period of three (3) years,
beginning October 29, 2013. In
cooperation with the Postal Service
Headquarters Disability Program
Manager, the ombudsperson will
monitor the Postal Service’s compliance
with the injunctive relief provisions of
the settlement through the
establishment of a call center and
designed email address. Deaf and hard
of hearing Postal Service employees will
E:\FR\FM\27DEN1.SGM
27DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 249 / Friday, December 27, 2013 / Notices
be advised that they can register a
comment or concern about
communication accommodation issues
via a designated email address and/or
through a toll-free number or other
device provided by the call center. Deaf
and hard of hearing Postal Service
employees will further be advised that
use of the email address and toll-free
number or device to register a comment
or concern does not affect their rights to
file a grievance or complaint in any
other process, nor does it serve as initial
contact for any other process such as a
grievance or EEO pre-complaint
processing pursuant to 29 CFR
1614.105. The Disability Program
Manager will provide qualifying deaf
and hard of hearing employees and
applicants with information regarding
how to contact the ombudsperson. Such
individuals may register a comment or
concern about communication and
accommodation issues they have
experienced in the workplace or during
their employment application process
with the Postal Service. To be able to
identify and address specific comments
and/or concerns, individuals will be
asked to supply information specific to
them, such as their name, residential
addresses, and identification numbers
such as their Employee Identification
Number (EIN) or Applicant
Identification Number (AIN). If
necessary, the Ombudsperson will
investigate the comments and/or
concerns in order to make an
independent assessment.

II. Rationale for Changes to USPS
Privacy Act Systems of Records
Currently, Postal Service system of
records 100.900 Employee Inquiry,
Complaint, and Investigative Records
does not explicitly permit the Postal
Service to collect AINs or retrieve
records by AINs or EINs. The system of
records 100.900 is being modified to
account for the collection of applicant
identification numbers from applicants
who file an inquiry or complaint with
the ombudsperson via the call center or
designated email address. Additionally,
to facilitate the record location process,
retrievability is being updated to
include Employee Identification
Numbers and Applicant Identification
Numbers.
III. Description of Changes to Systems
of Records
The Postal Service is modifying one
system of records listed below. 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
modifications has been sent to Congress
VerDate Mar<15>2010
23:48 Dec 26, 2013
Jkt 232001
and to the Office of Management and
Budget for their evaluation. The Postal
Service does not expect this amended
notice to have any adverse effect on
individual privacy rights. The affected
systems are as follows:
USPS

SYSTEM NAME:
Employee Inquiry, Complaint, and
Investigative Record.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated,
the Postal Service proposes changes in
the existing system of records as
