BACKGROUND: The Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) was created by Public Law 104-208, which was passed by Congress in the fall of 1996. In 2022, Congress enacted the Postal Service Reform Act (Public Law 117-108), which placed the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) under the oversight jurisdiction of the OIG. The Inspector General reports to the Postal Service's nine Presidentially appointed Governors and the five PRC Commissioners and serves for a renewable term of seven years. The 2022 act also states the IG will be appointed by a majority of both the Governors and PRC commissioners and may be removed only for cause and by the written concurrence of at least seven Governors and three of the five PRC commissioners. To ensure accountability, the Inspector General keeps Congress, the Governors, the PRC Commissioners, and Postal Service management informed of the office’s work and alerted to potential areas where the Postal Service could be more economical and efficient.
