HANDBOOK F-66 REVISION

General Investment Policies and Procedures

We have revised Handbook F-66, General Investment Policies and Procedures, with improved performance metrics, a more clearly defined risk analysis process, and a new program compliance status reporting procedure. This procedure incorporates specific data elements associated with the following:

• Status of costs.

• Benefits.

• Shedules.

• Risk for investments that require a Decision Analysis Report (DAR).

The November 2005 edition replaces the February 2002 version. We will not distribute printed copies.

Handbook F-66 is available on the Postal ServiceTM PolicyNet Web site:

 

 

• Go to http://blue.usps.gov.

• Under "Essential Links" in the left-hand column, click on References.

• Under "References" in the right-hand column, under "Policies," click on PolicyNet.

• Then click on HBKs.

(The direct URL for the Postal ServiceTM PolicyNet Web site is http://blue.usps.gov/cpim.)

We are in the process of revising the other modules in the F-66 series - F-66A, F-66B, F-66C, and F-66D. We will also publish a new module, F-66E, which establishes the investment policies and procedures for postal support and information systems projects. We will announce the availability of these additional modules on the Postal Service Intranet in future Postal Bulletin articles.
