End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
As part of the creation of the Office of Inspector General in 1996, certain functions were transferred from the Postal Inspection Service to the Postal Service Office of Inspector General. Part 962 is being revised to reflect that investigations under this part are now conducted by the Office of Inspector General. In addition, these rules of practice as well as the rules of practice in other proceedings before the Judicial Officer are being amended to correct typographical errors and omissions and make other technical changes.
These revisions are changes in agency rules of practice before the Judicial Officer and do not substantially affect any rights or obligations of private parties. Therefore, it is appropriate for their adoption by the Postal Service to become effective immediately.
