"We welcome the General Accounting Office's recent review of the challenges facing the Postal Service," said
Chief Financial Officer Richard Strasser in response to the
GAO's "high-risk" update released today.
• "The report helps to keep the focus on finding solutions to those challenges," he said.
• "Since GAO's initial report in 2001, the Postal Service
drafted a Transformation Plan to outline a strategy to
meet the challenges reported by GAO. We welcome
GAO's recognition that we have made substantial
progress implementing that plan, within the boundaries of what is possible under current law, as
outlined below:"
• Operational Efficiency: During fiscal year 2002,
our output per workhour grew by 2.2% and Total Factor Productivity improved by 1.1%. The Total Factor
Productivity increase is equivalent to $700 million in
expense reductions and marks our third straight year
of positive Total Factor Productivity growth. During
the same period, we reduced career employment by
23,000 positions, for a total reduction of 45,000 positions over three years.
• Cost Control: By better aligning resources against
workload, we were able to reduce a projected net
loss of $1.35 billion by half - to $676 million -
during fiscal year 2002, despite the fact that the addresses we serve grew by 1.8 million. And, for the
first time in 31 years, operating expenses were reduced below the previous year's. We are well on our
way to taking $5 billion in costs out of our system by
the end of 2006.
• Debt Reduction: In fiscal year 2002, we decreased
our outstanding debt by $200 million, reversing a
five-year trend of increasing debt each year. Our plan
calls for additional debt reduction of at least $800 million this year.
• Maintaining Service: Despite the financial challenges we are facing, driven primarily by declining
mail volume growth and expansion of the number of
s and businesses we serve, overall service performance was at record levels in fiscal year 2002. So
far this year, service is even exceeding last year's
levels.
• "Each of these achievements represents progress
against specific elements of our Transformation Plan.
We will continue our focused efforts to implement the
Plan, both today and over the coming years.
• "We are also working closely with the President's
Commission on the U.S. Postal Service as it
identifies the operational, structural, and financial
challenges facing the Postal Service; examines potential solutions; and recommends legislative and
administrative steps to ensure the long-term viability
of postal service in the United States."
They agree. The General Accounting Office, in a report
issued today, came to a conclusion similar to that of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). As OPM said,
based on the current level of contributions, the Postal Service would significantly overfund the amount needed in the
future to cover Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)
obligations.
• But GAO took it one step further, "We found that the
amount of overfunding is considerably greater than
OPM initially calculated."
• GAO said that USPS has actually overfunded its
CSRS obligation by $4 billion. OPM had earlier calculated that without a legislative change in the funding
schedule, USPS's potential overfunding could reach
$71 billion. GAO's analysis says overfunding could
reach $103 billion.
• Why the difference? OPM included costs for military
service for CSRS Postal Service employees who are
not required to be paid by USPS under current law. In
doing this, OPM commented that it used the funding
methodology modeled after the Federal Employees
Retirement System (FERS) that replaces CSRS for
employees hired after 1983.
• Bottom line? If legislation is enacted changing how
the Postal Service funds CSRS, based on either
analysis, postage rates can be held steady until at
least 2006.
• While the news from GAO was generally positive,
Strasser expressed his disappointment that GAO
called on Congress to decide if potential CSRS overfunding should be used for other purposes, such as
debt reduction or retiree health benefit payments.

• "This is the type of financial decision that we believe
properly belongs to postal management and the
Board of Governors, consistent with the law that
created the Postal Service," he said.
The President's Commission on the U.S. Postal Service
has named the members of four subcommittees that will
collect stakeholder input to help develop the commission's
final report to the president, due July 31.
• The Business Model Subcommittee, chaired by Richard Levin, includes Don Cogman, Carolyn Gallagher,
Norman Seabrook and Robert Walker. The group will
assess the current Postal Service business model,
universal service, infrastructure, rate regulation and
pricing flexibility.
• The Private Sector Partnership Subcommittee consists of Chairman Joseph Wright, Cogman and Seabrook. It will analyze the private sector's role in mail
delivery.
• The Technology Challenges and Opportunities Subcommittee, with Chairman Walker, Dionel Aviles and
Wright, will assess the effect of online bill payment
and presentment, e-mail, electronic funds transfer
and other technology to determine whether they will
continue to erode Postal Service market share.
• Workforce Subcommittee chairwoman Gallagher,
along with Aviles and Levin, will examine the USPS
collective bargaining and dispute resolution process
and review alternative models.
• And, commission co-chairs James Johnson and
Harry Pearce will serve as ex-officio members of
each subcommittee. The commission is collecting
comments through Feb. 12.
• The commission will hold its next open meeting Feb.
20 in Washington, DC. USPS-TV will be there.
Life in the information age isn't without problems. Many
of today's most common transactions, such as charging a
gas purchase or accessing your bank account, require a
wealth of personal information. The Postal Inspection
Service (USPIS) says it's that level of disclosure that leaves
many of us vulnerable.
• "Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America," says Chief Postal Inspector Lee Heath. How you
use your personal information is a major factor in
whether or not you become a victim. "Make sure that
when providing financial and personal information,
you know how it will be used," Heath said.
• Other ways to protect yourself: Avoid giving out your
Social Security Number. Like the key to your front
door, this single piece of information can allow identity snatchers access to your personal finances, health
records and more, costing you time and money to repair the damage.
• Vice President and Consumer Advocate Francia
Smith says the impact of identity theft can go beyond
ruining credit to more serious damage. "There is an
emotional factor of dealing with a credit history that
isn't yours, but that you have to reconstruct in order
to clear your own," Smith said.
• Both recommend annual credit report checks. Report
any inconsistencies, newly opened accounts you
didn't authorize and unfamiliar transactions to a credit bureau such as Equifax, Experian or TransUnion.
• Other tips on prevention and contact information are
available on the Postal Inspection Service Web site
at www.usps.com/postalinspectors. And while you're
there check out Publication 280, Identity Theft; from
the Web site, click on Publications.
Click-N-ShipTM on www.usps.com allows customers to
print shipping labels with or without postage from the convenience of their or office computer. It increases access to our services - that's a growth driver - while
moving simple transactions out of retail lobbies.
• The product brought in over $1 million in revenue
during December. Santa Ana Performance Cluster
led the charge with $45,205 in online revenue, followed by the Portland, San Diego, Arizona and
Central Florida Performance Clusters.
• "Click-N-Ship is a perfect example of using technology to enhance our core products," said Nick
Barranca, vice president, Product Development. "It
combines the convenience of the Web with the value
of shipping with the Postal Service."
USPSNEWS@WORK
• Customers like Click-N-Ship. Volumes for early
January came close to matching those in the first
week of December. Also, the percentage of labels
with PC PostageTM is growing - from 30% in
September to 41% in December.
The Postal Service and the APWU agreed to petition the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for the purpose of
implementing a Voluntary Early Retirement by Feb. 1,
2003.
• The Postal Service has submitted a petition to OPM.
When OPM responds to our petition for Voluntary
Early Retirement, we will be able to provide further
information.
• The request for Voluntary Early Retirement covers
only APWU-represented employees.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is looking for a few
good men and women to join their ranks.
• Qualified applicants must be U.S. citizens between
the ages of 21 and 36, possess a four-year college
degree, be in good physical condition and meet other
specialized requirements.

Misdelivery. Put yourself in our customers' shoes. How
would you feel if you mailed a personal card or letter and it
was delivered to the wrong person?
• Would you keep coming back for more of the same?
Not likely. Misdelivery costs the Postal Service big
time in terms of unnecessary cost, public relations
and customer satisfaction.
• Identify theft. That's part of the picture, too. It's the
fastest growing crime in the United States.
Misdelivery places mail that may contain personal
information into the wrong hands. And who knows -
that misdelivered piece could be yours.
• During National Consumer Protection Week, Feb.
3-8, the Office of Consumer Advocate and the Postal
Inspection Service will be offering tips to help consumers avoid being victimized by identify theft.
Delivering mail accurately means we're part of the
solution - and not the other way around.
• Now, let's say the recipient - the wrong recipient -
cares enough to put the misdelivered envelope back
into the mailstream. The customer may receive the
mail, but it's late. And the cumulative costs of handling mailpieces a second or third time add up.
Around here, it's already financial crunch-time. We
have to deliver to the right address the first time,
every time.
• The Postal Service handles more than 46% of the
world's card and letter mail. We operate a transport
and delivery fleet of 215,530 vehicles that drive a
combined total of 1.15 billion miles a year.
• And, 138 million s and businesses are counting
on us to deliver their mail. Everyone, everywhere, every day doesn't work when we don't deliver it right.
NEW WEB SITE
Next time you visit www.usps.com you will see some
major improvements. On January 23, 2003, we launched a
newly enhanced Web site to make it easier for our
customers to find information and complete transactions,
like buying stamps. The Web site has a new fresh look, the
content is organized around basic customer needs, and it is
much easier to move around the site. We based these improvements on direct customer feedback, and, so far, the
initial results are good.
Today our customers can do more than ever on www.usps.com. Customers can buy stamps, print shipping
labels with postage, pay bills online, and create mail from
their computer that gets delivered by our carriers. Some of
the most popular time-saving features of www.usps.com are:
• Get ZIP Codes.

HANDBOOK AS-802 REVISION
Effective February 6, 2003, Handbook AS-802, Postal
Computing Operations Standards, is revised to add part
3-5, Standard Sources for Time.
This revision establishes the requirements for standard
time sources to enable all Netware, NT, Windows 2000,
VAX, and UNIX server time clocks to be synchronized to
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
We will incorporate this revision into the next printed
edition of Handbook AS-802 and into the online version
available on the Postal Service PolicyNet Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim; click on HBKs.
Handbook AS-802, Postal Computing Operations
Standards
* * * * *
3 Enterprise-wide Mandatory Standards and
Procedures
* * * * *
[Add new part 3-5 as follows:]
3-5 Standard Sources for Time
3-5.1 For Netware, NT, Windows 2000, VAX, UNIX
Many business applications require an accurate source of
time for use in time-stamping transactions and log entries.
The Postal Service has established standard time sources
to enable all Netware, NT, Windows 2000, VAX, and UNIX
server time clocks to be synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). A standard time source will ensure that
all Postal Service distributed business applications share a
single time reference, obviate the need for development of
alternative approaches to acquire and synchronize time
clocks, and lower operating costs by reducing the complexity of the infrastructure.
3-5.2 Applicability
This requirement applies immediately to the following
applications:
• All Netware, NT, Windows 2000, VAX, and UNIX
server time clocks in the current infrastructure.
• All new applications.
• Legacy applications, which must be upgraded to use
these standard time sources if there is an opportunity
to do it at low cost in conjunction with another functional upgrade or maintenance release.
Over time, it will apply to all applications.
3-5.3 Requirements
3-5.31 Application design
• Server-based applications must be designed to use
the local system time clock via host operating system
API calls as a time reference, because this clock is
already synchronized with UTC.
• Applications or stored procedures running within
Oracle must use the SYSDATE function to obtain accurate time. Oracle uses the local host system time
clock as a time reference for these functions, which
will be synchronized to UTC via established time synchronization networks.
• Client-based applications must be designed to use
the local system time clock via Windows time API
calls as a time reference. Client-side applications
must neither access the hardware time clock directly
nor include internal code to replicate the function of
the local system clock or clock synchronization with
upstream time servers.
3-5.32 Infrastructure
• Time reference servers for all network operating system types (NetWare, Windows NT/2000, VAX, and
UNIX) must be synchronized to UTC.
• Time reference servers must be monitored to ensure
that their clocks are synchronized with UTC and with
each other within an acceptable margin or error.
• Distributed or midrange servers that host applications requiring accurate time must be configured to
synchronize their local system time clocks to UTC via
the time synchronization network appropriate to the
server's operating system. Ultimately, all application
server time clocks must be synchronized to UTC
through the established hierarchy of network time
servers. The frequency of server time clock updates
must be carefully configured to achieve the best balance between clock accuracy and network overhead.
• Clients hosting local applications requiring accurate
time must be configured to synchronize their local
system time clocks via the nearest time reference
server when available. The frequency of time clock
updates must be carefully configured to achieve the
best balance between clock accuracy and network
overhead. For example, client time clocks need to be
updated only once per user login.
Note: Software components needed to use these
services are included as part of the off-the-shelf operating system client licenses. Application developers
and infrastructure service managers need only
ensure that their application servers are correctly
configured to synchronize with the appropriate standard time server. For technical information about the
time source network, see http://cste.usps.gov/lan/pub/time.htm or contact the manager, Client Server
Technology Engineering, Distributed Systems Service Center, Office of Vice President and Chief
Technology Officer.
