A computer matching program is any computerized comparison of a Postal Service automated system of records with an automated system of another agency or an internal system. When using computer matching programs, the Postal Service must comply with Privacy Act requirements. The Postal Service Data Integrity Board is responsible for the review and approval of all Postal Service computer matching activities. The records office manages the process. All proposals, whether from Postal Service organizations or other government agencies, must be submitted to the Records Office at the address in section 1-4.2.5. Submit proposals at least 3 months in advance of the anticipated starting date to allow time for review and publication requirements. See MI AS350–2007–1, Computer Matching Programs.
