Info on revision of USPS PS Form 991
Prior to the implementation of eCareer in 2007, PS Form 991, Application for Promotion and Assignment, was used primarily for nonbargaining vacancies. Now the PS Form 991 is revised for bargaining employees (only) to use when applying or bidding for a position for which they are required to describe their qualifications (for example, when the selection method is “best qualified”).
Changes to the PS Form 991 include:
- The first page containing instructions is edited.
- The Notes to Applicant page is edited for bargaining vacancies, the Privacy Act Statement has been updated, and the Computer Matching statement has been deleted.
- The Social Security number field has been changed to request the employee identification number.
- Page numbers have been edited.
- Two pages that specifically addressed nonbargaining vacancies have been deleted.

Humm wonder if this might be a sign that the APWU won the goldberg arbitration for post plan office staffing!
