SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Postal Service is constantly seeking methods to improve employee productivity and efficiency. To that end, the Postal Service will implement a suite of cloud-based workplace productivity applications. These applications will expand employee access to various programs, allowing more employees to utilize resources to increase productivity and team collaboration.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records
The Postal Service is proposing to modify USPS System of Records (SOR) 550.100 Commercial Information Technology Resources- Applications to support the implementation of a suite of cloud-based workplace productivity software. This system will be modified in conjunction with USPS 550.000 Commercial Information Technology Resources- Infrastructure and USPS 550.200 Commercial Information Technology Resources- Administrative to reflect the full scope of application implementation. Revisions to these SORs will be submitted independent of this notice. More information on accompanying changes can be found within those SORs.
This system specifically reflects data elements created through normal use and interactions in a software application. Revisions to the existing SOR to support this implementation are documented as additions to existing categories of records Collaboration application records beginning with " Total Number Of Video Conferences," Communication Application Records beginning with "Chat User Action," and Limited Use Application records beginning with " Users Allowed To Access Application ", as well as the creation of three new categories of records: Cloud-based storage records, Email Application records, and Web Browser Records. Accompanying the addition of these new categories of records are policies and practices for the retrieval of these records and policies and practices for retention and disposal of these records.
III. Description of the Modified System of Records
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(11), interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, or arguments on this proposal. A report of the proposed revisions has been sent to Congress and to the Office of Management and Budget for their evaluations.
