POSTAL SERVICE
Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:
The United States Postal
Service® (Postal Service) is proposing to
revise a Customer Privacy Act Systems
of Records (SOR). These changes are
being made to support the Targeted
Offers Powered by Informed Address
service.
SUMMARY:
These revisions will become
effective without further notice on
March 11, 2019, 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
DATES:

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 26 / Thursday, February 7, 2019 / Notices
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.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed
or delivered to the Privacy and Records
Management Office, United States
Postal Service, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW,
Room 1P830, 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:
Janine Castorina, Chief Privacy and
Records Management Officer, Privacy
and Records Management Office, 202–

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 has determined that
Customer Privacy Act Systems of
Records, USPS 820.300 Informed
Delivery, should be revised to support
the Targeted Offers application.
Targeted Offers Powered by Informed
Address (‘‘Targeted Offers’’) is an
application that will enable consumers
to securely share their preferences
related to marketing content with
mailers, and mailers to target and
prospect consumers based on this data.
Targeted Offers will be incorporated
into the Informed Delivery platform,
allowing the Postal Service to capitalize
on Informed Delivery’s success and
existing user base. Launched nationwide in FY 2018, Informed Delivery
enables consumers to view a gray-scale
image of upcoming mail within a daily
email, app, or online dashboard. Below
these images, mailers have the option to
post an additional call to action that
links to a digital version of the
mailpiece, connecting physical to digital
interactions and providing a doubleimpression for consumers. As a new
feature of Informed Delivery, Targeted
Offers will encourage new user adoption
and provide additional benefits for
current users.
Targeted Offers combines two
applications that will assist mailers in
better reaching their target customers:
Digital Offers and IA-Enabled Mail.
Digital Offers allows consumers to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:23 Feb 06, 2019
Jkt 247001
2591
express mail content preferences via a
survey in their Informed Delivery Daily
Digest email in order to receive targeted
digital offers. In turn, Postal Service will
offer Informed Delivery mailers
additional digital impressions based on
consumer-expressed mail preferences.
IA-Enabled Mail allows consumers to
opt-into receiving targeted physical mail
when expressing mail content
preferences. Mailers will then be able to
reach these consumers with targeted
direct mail campaigns using Informed
Address technology.
Informed Address technology replaces
a traditional delivery point address with
a temporary, alphanumeric IA code that
only Postal Service can decode. To
enable successful delivery of an IAenabled mailpiece, the IA code is linked
to a consumer’s profile and delivery
point in an internal Postal Service
database. The Postal Service is then able
to provide mailers with temporary IA
codes for consumers, allowing mailers
to send the consumer mail without
knowing the consumer’s physical
address and the Postal Service to protect
the consumer’s identity. Once the
mailpiece enters the mail stream, the IA
code is processed on mail processing
equipment and delivered accordingly.
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 has been sent to Congress and
to the Office of Management and Budget
for their evaluations. The Postal Service
does not expect this amended systems
of records to have any adverse effect on
individual privacy rights. The notice for
USPS 820.300, Informed Delivery,
provided below in its entirety, is as
follows:
physical mail that is intended for
delivery at the customer’s address.
2. To provide daily email
communication to consumers with
images of the letter-size mailpieces that
they can expect to be delivered to their
mailbox each day.
3. To provide an enhanced customer
experience and convenience for mail
delivery services by linking physical
mail to electronic content.
4. To obtain and maintain current and
up-to-date address and other contact
information to assure accurate and
reliable delivery and fulfillment of
postal products, services, and other
material.
5. To determine the outcomes of
marketing or advertising campaigns and
to guide policy and business decisions
through the use of analytics.
6. To identify, prevent, or mitigate the
effects of fraudulent transactions.
7. To demonstrate the value of
Informed Delivery in enhancing the
responsiveness to physical mail and to
promote use of the mail by commercial
mailers and other postal customers.
8. To enhance the customer
experience by improving the security of
Change of Address (COA) and Hold
Mail processes.
9. To protect USPS customers from
becoming potential victims of mail
fraud and identity theft.
10. To identify and mitigate potential
fraud in the COA and Hold Mail
processes.
11. To verify a customer’s identity
when applying for COA and Hold Mail
services.
12. To support the Targeted Offers
application which enables customers to
securely share their preferences related
to marketing content with mailers.

Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget

extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h), (17 CFR

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15

Rule 17Ad–2(c), (d) and (h)
enumerates the requirements with
which transfer agents must comply to
inform the Commission or the
appropriate regulator of a transfer
agent’s failure to meet the minimum
performance standards set by the
Commission rule by filing a notice.
The Commission receives
approximately 3 notices a year pursuant
to Rule 17Ad–2(c), (d), and (h). The
estimated annual time burden of these
filings on respondents is minimal in
view of: (a) The readily available nature
of most of the information required to be
included in the notice (since that
information must be compiled and
retained pursuant to other Commission
rules); and (b) the summary fashion in
which such information must be
presented in the notice (most notices are
one page or less in length). In light of
the above, and based on the experience
of the staff regarding the notices, the
Commission staff estimates that, on
average, most notices require
approximately one-half hour to prepare.
Thus, the Commission staff estimates
