39 C.F.R. § 501.3 Changes in ownership or control, bankruptcy, or insolvency.
Title 39 - Postal Service
(a) Any person or entity authorized under §501.1 must promptly notify the Postal Service when it has a reasonable expectation that there may be a change in its ownership or control including changes in the ownership of an affiliate which exercises control over its postage evidencing system operations in the United States. A change of ownership or control within the meaning of this section includes entry into a strategic alliance or other agreement whereby the third party has access to data related to the security of the system or the third party is a competitor to the Postal Service. Any person or entity seeking to acquire ownership or control of a person or entity authorized under §501.1 must provide the Postal Service satisfactory evidence that it satisfies the conditions for approval stated in §501.1. Early notification of a proposed change in ownership or control will facilitate expeditious review of an application to acquire ownership or control under this section. (b) Any person or entity authorized under §501.1 must promptly notify the Postal Service when it has a reasonable expectation that there may be a change in the status of its financial condition either through bankruptcy, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or other similar financial action. Any person or entity authorized under §501.1 who experiences a change in the status of its financial condition may, at the discretion of the Postal Service, have its authorization under §501.1 modified or terminated.
