Sec.  223.2  Channels of communication, headquarters with area offices.

    (a) General. Headquarters organizational units formulate the 
directives to provide guidance to area officials.
    (b) Policies. Policies are issued over the signatures of the vice 
presidents of the functional organizations (unless the postmaster 
general or deputy postmaster general issues these directives 
personally). Whether published on paper or online, such policies must be 
coordinated with other appropriate organizations before issuance, and 
reviewed, published, and managed by Public Affairs and Communications. 
If within the authority of the issuer, these policies have the same 
effect as though sent by the postmaster general or deputy postmaster 
general.
    (c) Procedures. Regulations, instructions, and implementation 
guidelines are issued over the signatures of vice presidents of 
functional organizations or their accountable functional unit managers 
and used to implement programs and business activities. Whether 
published on paper or online, such procedures must be coordinated with 
other appropriate organizations before issuance and reviewed, published, 
and managed by Public Affairs and Communications.
