Maybe this question was raised before, but after some search I did not find any result.
How are Scott numbers assigned for US stamps? Who does it? Thanks.

Who does it? The catalog editors. How is it done? That information is contained in the introduction to the catalogs.

Years ago USPS used to publish "The Postal Service Guide to US Stamps", where Scott numbers were shown. Did Scott give USPS a license to do this? Are they still doing it? This would be a great "pocket" book for US stamps.
