THE FINAL RULE EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1
TITLE 39 CHANGES
As predicted on October 26, 2011, the Postal Service filed the final rule with the Federal Register amending regulations with regard to Post Office closings. These changes are regarding the staffing of post offices and the definition of “consolidation." Their proposed changes became effective December 1, 2011.
This final rule is very confusing to read, but here is the bottom line -there are the two main issues that will impact Postmasters and post offices.
First, a post office can be changed to a station without going through any closing process. The new discontinuance process is required only when a post office, station or branch is changed to a contracted facility. This would allow the Postal Service to change the hours of operation to whatever hours they choose, and for EAS-11 and above, they would no longer be required to staff the post office for 8 hours because it is now a station.
Second, a post office can be staffed by any post office personnel; it does not have to be a Postmaster. So we change the post office to a station, open it for 4 hours and staff it with a PSE.
Dollars saved-easy to calculate…. impact to service, brand and long term revenue - impossible to measure.

IMPORTANT REMINDER
It has come to the NAPUS Headquarters office attention that some members are using the postal email system to send out information. The Postal Headquarters policy is that employee organizations and management organizations are NOT allowed to use the postal email system to send out information regarding their meetings and events. The Postal Service stated this policy is due to concerns about multiple addresses and computer security issues which means this type of email usage is not considered under MI EL-660-2000-05.
