[Date] 11/16/2012 [Title] Whether the United States Department of Labor Has the Authority to Control the Disclosure of Federal Employee Compensation Act Records Held by the United States Postal Service [Headnotes] 
The Federal Employee Compensation Act gives the Department of Labor the authority to control and limit the disclosure of FECA records held by the United States Postal Service, and DOL’s FECA regulations prohibit USPS from disclosing FECA records in a manner inconsistent with DOL’s Privacy Act routine uses. The Labor Department’s regulatory regime for FECA records is consistent with and furthers the purposes of the Privacy Act. Neither the Postal Reorganization Act nor the National Labor Relations Act authorizes USPS to control the disclosure of FECA records.
