-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Postal Service[supreg] (Postal Service) is

Relations Board (NLRB) in response to its request for investigative 
purposes, to the extent that the requested information is relevant and 
necessary.

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 
ServiceTM has determined that three Customer Privacy Act 
Systems of Records should be revised to modify routine uses of records 
maintained in the system, including categories of users and the 
purposes of such uses.

I. Background

    The Postal Service will provide the NLRB with necessary information 
so that it can effectively carry out its statutory duty to investigate 
and police alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act.

II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records

    The following USPS Privacy Act System of Records are being revised 
to permit disclosure of records to the NLRB in response to its request 
for investigative purposes, to the extent that the requested 
information is relevant and necessary:
    a. USPS 100.000 System Name: General Personnel Records.
    b. USPS 100.900 System Name: Employee Inquiry, Complaint, and 
Investigative Records.
    c. USPS 200.000 System Name: Labor Relations Records.

III. Description of Changes to Systems 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 proposed revisions has been sent to Congress and to the Office of 
Management and Budget for their evaluations. The Postal Service does 
not expect these amended systems of records to have any adverse effect 
on individual privacy rights. The affected systems are as follows:
