Notice of establishment of new
system of records.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The United States Postal
Service® (Postal Service) is proposing to
establish a new Customer Privacy Act
System of Records (SOR) to support the
Informed DeliveryTM notification
service.
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:54 Aug 24, 2016
Jkt 238001
This system will become
effective without further notice on
September 26, 2016 unless, in response
to comments received on or before that
date, the Postal Service makes any
substantive change to the purpose or
routine uses set forth, or to expand the
availability of information in this
system, as described in this notice. If the
Postal Service determines that certain
portions of this SOR should not be
implemented, or that implementation of
certain portions should be postponed in
light of comments received, the Postal
Service may choose to implement the
remaining portions of the SOR on the
stated effective date, and will provide
notice of that action.
Comments may be mailed
or delivered to the Privacy and Records
Office, United States Postal Service, 475
L’Enfant Plaza SW., Room 1P830,
Washington, DC 20260–0004. 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.
ADDRESSES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
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 establishing a new
system of records to support an
expansion of its Informed DeliveryTM
notification service.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Informed DeliveryTM is a digital
service that allows enrolled users to
receive an email notification that
contains grayscale images of the outside
of their letter-sized mailpieces
processed by USPS automation
equipment prior to delivery. This
service is offered at no cost to the
consumer. Informed DeliveryTM is
currently available in areas of New
York, Connecticut, and Northern
Virginia (NoVa). The Postal Service
intends to expand this service to the
Capital Region (Washington, DC,
Baltimore, and Richmond) in September
2016, with national expansion planned
for 2017. The establishment of this new
USPS Privacy Act System of Records is
intended to support this expansion.

II. Rationale for Changes to USPS
Privacy Act Systems of Records
Expansion and User Acquisition
Strategy
Informed DeliveryTM is making mail a
more valuable and effective
communication channel for consumers,
increasing the relevancy of physical
mail in today’s highly digital
environment. Informed DeliveryTM
offers residential customers the
convenience of knowing what is in their
mailbox from anywhere, even while
traveling. Providing advance notice of
mail delivery also allows consumers to
take action before important pieces
reach their mailbox, revolutionizing the
customer experience with mail. In some
cases, email notifications with
mailpiece images will include
interactive content, such as ‘‘ride-along’’
images or related links from the
business mailer. Lastly, users will have
access to an online dashboard, which
will display their mailpiece images from
the previous six days.
Currently, there are over 75,000
Informed DeliveryTM users in areas of
Northern Virginia, New York, and
Connecticut. According to USPS data,
90 percent of users surveyed in
Northern Virginia have said they would
recommend Informed DeliveryTM to
friends or family, and 97 percent of
those surveyed in New York would
likely continue using the service. In
light of the positive feedback that the
Postal Service has received from
Informed DeliveryTM users, the Postal
Service intends to expand the Informed
DeliveryTM notification service to the
Washington, DC, Baltimore, and
Richmond metropolitan areas in
September 2016, with national
expansion planned for 2017. To achieve
this goal, the Postal Service has
developed a comprehensive user
acquisition strategy that includes a
direct mail referral campaign, email
campaigns sent to My USPS and
USPS.com users, and promotion at retail
locations. For the referral campaign,
USPS will send a mailpiece to current
Informed DeliveryTM users with the
request that they send the provided tearoff cards to friends and family who may
be interested in the service. As part of
the user acquisition strategy, the Postal
Service will be collecting personal
information from internal and external
sources, as identified below.
Informed DeliveryTM is currently
supported by two Privacy Act Systems
of Records, USPS 810.100,
www.usps.com Registration and USPS
820.200, Mail Management and
Tracking Activity. The Postal Service
has determined that a new system of
E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM
25AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 165 / Thursday, August 25, 2016 / Notices
records should be established to support
the planned expansion of the service
and to promote transparency with
regard to its collection and use of
customer information.
asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Purposes and Disclosures
USPS is using customer information
to link physical mail with digital
content in order to provide consumers
with a convenient, innovative, and
relevant way to access their mailpieces.
Specifically, customer information will
be used to support the Informed
DeliveryTM notification service,
providing users with a daily email
notification containing images of their
letter-sized mailpieces that will be
arriving in their mailbox soon.
Additionally, this information will help
USPS maintain up-to-date user records
and prevent fraudulent transactions,
resulting in an improved customer
experience. USPS will also collect data
analytics from mail campaigns sent
through Informed DeliveryTM in order to
determine the outcomes of each
campaign and help guide business
decisions.
Security and Privacy
The Postal Service takes the privacy
of customers’ mail very seriously and
takes measures to ensure that all
personal information is protected. To
obtain the mail images, the Postal
Service relies on existing automated
mail processing equipment that is used
every day to sort mail so that it can be
delivered to the proper address. The
scanned images that the Postal Service
sends to enrolled users show only the
exterior, front-side of letter-sized mail;
the daily notification does not contain
any information about the contents of
the scanned mailpieces. The sanctity of
the mail is also protected by the U.S.
Postal Inspection Service.
To enroll in Informed DeliveryTM,
consumers must live in a ZIP Code
where the service is active and have an
eligible address, which can be
confirmed through the Informed
DeliveryTM Web site. Eligible consumers
must then successfully complete one of
several available verification processes.
Once these steps are complete, a
consumer will be able to access the
Informed DeliveryTM notification
service. During the sign-up and
verification process, a consumer’s
household address is only collected and
maintained to ensure that he or she only
receives images of mail intended for
delivery at the verified address. Other
methods to ensure the security of the
data are described below in the
Safeguards section of the new Informed
DeliveryTM SOR.

Modifications to the Disability
Determination Procedures; Extension
of Testing of Some Disability Redesign
Features
Social Security Administration.
Notice of the extension of tests
involving modifications to the disability
determination procedures.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
We are announcing the
extension of tests involving
modifications to disability
determination procedures authorized by
20 CFR 404.906 and 416.1406. These
rules authorize us to test several
modifications to the disability
determination procedures for
adjudicating claims for disability
insurance benefits under title II of the
Social Security Act (Act) and for
supplemental security income payments
based on disability under title XVI of
the Act. This notice is our last extension
of the ‘‘single decisionmaker’’ test, as
we will phase out the test until
elimination in 2018. This notice also
extends the separate ‘‘prototype’’ test.
DATES: We are extending our selection
of cases to be included in these tests
from September 23, 2016 until no later
than December 28, 2018. At that time,
we will publish another notice in the
Federal Register to confirm our
elimination of the ‘‘single
decisionmaker’’ test.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kenneth Williams, Office of Disability
Policy, Social Security Administration,
6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD
21235–6401, (410) 965–0608, for
information about this notice. For
information on eligibility or filing for

1–800–325–0778, or visit our Internet
site, Social Security Online, at https://
www.socialsecurity.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Our
current rules authorize us to test,
individually or in any combination,
certain modifications to the disability
determination procedures. 20 CFR
404.906 and 416.1406. We conducted
several tests under the authority of these
rules. In the ‘‘single decisionmaker’’
test, a disability examiner may make the
initial disability determination in most
cases without obtaining the signature of
a medical or psychological consultant.
Currently, 19 states and the territory of
Guam use the single decisionmaker test.
There are 9 states and the territory of
Guam that use single decisionmaker as
a stand-alone test. The remaining 10
states use single decisionmaker in
combination with a separate test that we
refer to as ‘‘prototype.’’ Under section
832 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
(BBA),1 we are required to end the
single decisionmaker test. Therefore,
this extension of the single
decisionmaker test will provide us the
time necessary to take all of the
administrative actions needed to
reinstate uniform use of medical and
psychological consultants.
Prototype is a separate test, which we
conduct in 10 States. 64 FR 47218.
Currently, the prototype combines the
single decisionmaker approach
described above with the elimination of
the reconsideration level of our
administrative review process. We will
continue to make decisions in these 10
States by maintaining the elimination of
the reconsideration level, except that we
will comply with the requirements of
the BBA by reinstating the use of
medical consultants over the course of
this extension in those States with the
prototype tests. We will notify the
public of the progression of our plan
through additional notices in the
Federal Register.
We extended the period for selecting
claims for these tests several times. Most
recently, we extended the period from
September 25, 2015 to September 23,
2016. 80 FR 47553. We are extending
case selection for prototype and single
decision maker tests until December 28,
2018. After this date, we will publish
another notice in the Federal Register to
confirm our elimination of the single
decisionmaker test.

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 establishing a new system of records to support an expansion
of its Informed DeliveryTM notification service.
I. Background
Informed DeliveryTM is a digital service that allows
enrolled users to receive an email notification that contains grayscale
images of the outside of their letter-sized mailpieces processed by
USPS automation equipment prior to delivery. This service is offered at
no cost to the consumer. Informed DeliveryTM is currently
available in areas of New York, Connecticut, and Northern Virginia
(NoVa). The Postal Service intends to expand this service to the
Capital Region (Washington, DC, Baltimore, and Richmond) in September
2016, with national expansion planned for 2017. The establishment of
this new USPS Privacy Act System of Records is intended to support this
expansion.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records
Expansion and User Acquisition Strategy
Informed DeliveryTM is making mail a more valuable and
effective communication channel for consumers, increasing the relevancy
of physical mail in today's highly digital environment. Informed
DeliveryTM offers residential customers the convenience of
knowing what is in their mailbox from anywhere, even while traveling.
Providing advance notice of mail delivery also allows consumers to take
action before important pieces reach their mailbox, revolutionizing the
customer experience with mail. In some cases, email notifications with
mailpiece images will include interactive content, such as ``ride-
along'' images or related links from the business mailer. Lastly, users
will have access to an online dashboard, which will display their
mailpiece images from the previous six days.
Currently, there are over 75,000 Informed DeliveryTM
users in areas of Northern Virginia, New York, and Connecticut.
According to USPS data, 90 percent of users surveyed in Northern
Virginia have said they would recommend Informed DeliveryTM
to friends or family, and 97 percent of those surveyed in New York
would likely continue using the service. In light of the positive
feedback that the Postal Service has received from Informed
DeliveryTM users, the Postal Service intends to expand the
Informed DeliveryTM notification service to the Washington,
DC, Baltimore, and Richmond metropolitan areas in September 2016, with
national expansion planned for 2017. To achieve this goal, the Postal
Service has developed a comprehensive user acquisition strategy that
includes a direct mail referral campaign, email campaigns sent to My
USPS and USPS.com users, and promotion at retail locations. For the
referral campaign, USPS will send a mailpiece to current Informed
DeliveryTM users with the request that they send the
provided tear-off cards to friends and family who may be interested in
the service. As part of the user acquisition strategy, the Postal
Service will be collecting personal information from internal and
external sources, as identified below.
Informed DeliveryTM is currently supported by two
Privacy Act Systems of Records, USPS 810.100, www.usps.com Registration
and USPS 820.200, Mail Management and Tracking Activity. The Postal
Service has determined that a new system of
[[Page 58543]]
records should be established to support the planned expansion of the
service and to promote transparency with regard to its collection and
use of customer information.
Purposes and Disclosures
USPS is using customer information to link physical mail with
digital content in order to provide consumers with a convenient,
innovative, and relevant way to access their mailpieces. Specifically,
customer information will be used to support the Informed
DeliveryTM notification service, providing users with a
daily email notification containing images of their letter-sized
mailpieces that will be arriving in their mailbox soon. Additionally,
this information will help USPS maintain up-to-date user records and
prevent fraudulent transactions, resulting in an improved customer
experience. USPS will also collect data analytics from mail campaigns
sent through Informed DeliveryTM in order to determine the
outcomes of each campaign and help guide business decisions.
Security and Privacy
The Postal Service takes the privacy of customers' mail very
seriously and takes measures to ensure that all personal information is
protected. To obtain the mail images, the Postal Service relies on
existing automated mail processing equipment that is used every day to
sort mail so that it can be delivered to the proper address. The
scanned images that the Postal Service sends to enrolled users show
only the exterior, front-side of letter-sized mail; the daily
notification does not contain any information about the contents of the
scanned mailpieces. The sanctity of the mail is also protected by the
U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
To enroll in Informed DeliveryTM, consumers must live in
a ZIP Code where the service is active and have an eligible address,
which can be confirmed through the Informed DeliveryTM Web
site. Eligible consumers must then successfully complete one of several
available verification processes. Once these steps are complete, a
consumer will be able to access the Informed DeliveryTM
notification service. During the sign-up and verification process, a
consumer's household address is only collected and maintained to ensure
that he or she only receives images of mail intended for delivery at
the verified address. Other methods to ensure the security of the data
are described below in the Safeguards section of the new Informed
DeliveryTM SOR.
III. Description of the New 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 establishment of this SOR has been sent to Congress and to the
Office of Management and Budget for their evaluations. The Postal
Service does not expect the establishment of this SOR to have any
adverse effect on individual privacy rights. Accordingly, for the
reasons stated above, the Postal Service proposes a new system of
records as follows:
