Postal Management
Postal official mail policy and the use of Penalty mail for the USCG is directed by the Commandant through the CG's Official Mail Manager in the Office of Information Management (CG-61). To meet the postal program's objective of an efficient and effective mail management program, the Official Mail Manager interfaces with the Department of Homeland Security; U.S. Postal Service; General Services Administration; Department of Defense; Military Postal Service Agency (MPSA); and USCG Unit Official Mail Managers. The Official Mail Manager provides postal policy and guidance to ensure personal and official mail service in the most efficient and economical manner CG-wide.
