Sec.  266.5  Notification.

    (a) Notification of Systems. Upon written request, the Postal 
Service will notify any individual whether a specific system named by 
the individual contains a record pertaining to him or her. See Sec.  
266.6 for suggested form of request.
    (b) Notification of Disclosure. The Postal Service shall make 
reasonable efforts to serve notice on an individual before any personal 
information on such individual is made available to any person under 
compulsory legal process when such process becomes a matter of public 
record.
    (c) Notification of Amendment. (See Sec.  266.6(c)(1) relating to 
amendment of records upon request.)
    (d) Notification of New Use. Any newly intended use of personal 
information maintained by the Postal Service will be published in the 
Federal Register thirty (30) days before such use becomes operational. 
Public views may then be submitted to the Records Office.
    (e) Notification of Exemptions. The Postal Service will publish 
within the Federal Register its intent to exempt any system of records 
and shall specify the nature and purpose of that system.
    (f) Notification of computer matching program. The Postal Service 
publishes in the Federal Register and forwards to Congress and the 
Office of Management and Budget advance notice of its intent to 
establish, substantially revise, or renew a matching program, unless 
such notice is published by another participant agency. In those 
instances in which the Postal Service is the ``recipient'' agency, as 
defined in the Act,

but another participant agency sponsors and derives the principal 
benefit from the matching program, the other agency is expected to 
publish the notice. The notice must be sent to Congress and OMB 40 days, 
and published at least thirty (30) days, prior to (1) initiation of any 
matching activity under a new or substantially revised program, or (2) 
expiration of the existing matching agreement in the case of a renewal 
of a continuing program.
