The United States Postal Service (USPS) is proposing to create a new system of records under the Privacy Act to enhance the scanning process at the Mail Recovery Center (MRC). This new system aims to improve how the USPS handles undeliverable mail by consolidating related functions and using updated scanner technology to manage lost and undeliverable items more efficiently. The proposed changes are intended to provide better customer service by making it easier for USPS to notify customers about their lost mail, including sending images of lost checks, while ensuring privacy and security standards are maintained. The revisions will automatically take effect on February 12, 2021, unless any objections are raised before that date.
Simple Explanation
The USPS wants to make it easier to find lost mail by using better tools to scan packages, so they can help people get their mail back quickly and safely while keeping privacy rules in mind.
