Title: Postal Inspection Service Mail Covers Program

Summary: In fiscal year 2013, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service processed about 49,000 mail covers.

Our objective was to determine whether the Postal Service and Postal Inspection Service are effectively and efficiently handling mail covers according to Postal Service and federal requirements
