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.
