Effective October 15, 2015, the Postal Service™ is revising the Administrative Support Manual (ASM) to reflect changes in policy for personnel security clearances.
Administrative Support Manual (ASM)
* * * * *
2 Audits and Investigations
27 Security
272 Personnel Security Clearances
272.1 General
272.12 Responsibility
[Revise the text of 272.12 to read as follows:]
The Chief Postal Inspector or designee is responsible for the adjudication of all security clearances and suitability background investigations for Postal Service personnel. For personnel of the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG), the Chief Postal Inspector or designee will consult with the OIG security office before denying or revoking a clearance or suitability determination.
We will incorporate this revision into the next online update of the Administrative Support Manual, which is available on the Postal Service PolicyNet website:
