Who may perform readdressals under the policy?

• A. Designated officers
• B. Any communications clerk
• C. The original sender
• D. The recipient

Answer: (A)

The ability to perform readdressals rests with someone who has official authority to approve changes in recipients and to maintain proper records. Designated officers carry that authority and responsibility, ensuring any redirection is properly verified, logged, and aligned with policy. A communications clerk may handle routine tasks but typically lacks the authority to alter recipient information and bypasses required checks. The original sender already issued the instruction, so changing it after the fact would misrepresent the sender’s intent and undermine the documented process. The recipient does not have authority to readdress, as that would bypass the formal approval and recordkeeping safeguards. For these reasons, designated officers are the correct choice.
