Effective September 6, 2012, Handbook AS-353, Guide to Privacy and the Freedom of Information Act, is revised to include modifications published in the Federal Register on July 11, 2012 (77 FR 40921–40922).
In July 2011, the Postal Service™ introduced a re-designed USPS.com® website with the first launch of multilingual functionality in October 2011 and added translated content in January 2012. This Customer Experience Improvement Project enables a broader audience to successfully interact with the Postal Service in the customer’s preferred language. As a result, the updates to the system of records will allow customers to permanently select which language they want to use when receiving emails from the Postal Service and when visiting USPS.com.
Also, in regards to the system manager title update, there is a continuing need to reflect changes in the identity or title of responsible officials.
