ANNOUNCEMENT

Handbook F-66C, Field Investment Policies and Procedures, Revision

We have revised Handbook F-66C, Field Investment Policies and Procedures. The March 2006 edition, which replaces the March 1999 edition, focuses on strengthened performance, a clearly defined risk analysis process, and program compliance status reporting for investments requiring a decision analysis report.

Handbook F-66C 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 Service PolicyNet Web site is http://blue.usps.gov/cpim.) We will not distribute printed copies.

The F-66C is the last in the series to be updated. We have recently revised other modules in the F-66 series - F-66, F-66A, F-66B, F-66D, and F-66E. Look for them on the Postal Service PolicyNet Web site.
