In response to a congressional request, GAO assessed the automatic mail processing equipment which the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is buying and the nine-digit ZIP Code system (ZIP Plus-4) which USPS plans to implement. GAO reviewed the accuracy of USPS financial projections, the likelihood that the new equipment will perform as intended, and the potential impact of ZIP Plus-4 mailers. Because the cost-effectiveness of ZIP Plus-4 would hinge heavily on voluntary participation by business mailers and such participation is not certain, GAO could not without qualification advise USPS to move forward with ZIP Plus-4. However, GAO believes that the incremental gain in moving to ZIP Plus-4 will be so great that the move would be more than justified. Householders' use of ZIP Plus-4 would help reduce mail processing costs but would not be critical to the cost-effectiveness of ZIP Plus-4. However, GAO endorsed the acquisition of the new equipment and its use to automate the processing of five-digit ZIP Code mail, provided that it will perform adequately. Even if the equipment performs adequately, there will still be risks associated with its use. Performance assumptions which USPS used in its economic analysis to justify the automation program were based on assumed future improvements. Furthermore, testing and evaluation procedures used during the analysis were not adequate to measure the performance of the equipment or determine the need for design changes, and USPS may have initial problems maintaining its new equipment. However, given the USPS labor intensive operations and the opportunity that automation offers to reduce labor costs, GAO considered these risks acceptable.

GAO reported on the current status of Postal Service plans to implement automated mail processing and the nine-digit ZIP code. GAO found that the Postal Service will be in a position to implement the automated mail processing system as scheduled. Although there are several recommended program improvements and some uncertainties about equipment performance, GAO believes that none of these concerns warrants a delay in implementation. One concern is that the performance of the optical character reading equipment is uncertain. Results of recently completed tests of this equipment were not reviewed by GAO, but the Postal Service claimed that these tests indicated that the equipment will perform up to expectations. Performance of the bar code sorting equipment was also uncertain, but GAO found no catastrophic or uncorrectable problems with the design or performance of the sorters. GAO found that improvements are needed in Postal Service programs to improve the optical character readability of mail and administer the postage rate incentive proposed for large-volume mailings of ZIP-Plus-4 mail. GAO also believes that the Postal Service estimate of potential usage of ZIP-Plus-4 is questionable because of deficiencies in study methodology for a market study commissioned by the Postal Service. GAO further found that the National ZIP-Plus-4 Directory is substantially complete and reasonably correct, although some improvements are attainable.
