I'm wondering if Notepad++ can create/ save in this encoding format? Thanks!
For sure. It is an old name for ISO88591 aka "Latin 1" encoding. Also known as CP367.

Thanks for helping out Chris,
Just to confirm, do we set it using Encoding -> Character Sets --> Western European -> ISO 8859-1 ?
Precisely so.
I found the explaination of that US20167 format on www.georgehernandez.com, so please report if this was inaccurate.

As I understand, 20127 is simple US-ASCII http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII, which defines only the first 128 characters. Using "Encode in ANSI" (or ISO 8859-1 as you told, or most other encodings) should do, but you must not use any character above 127. I don't think Notepad++ can strip the high bit of characters, or verify that it's not used. Do you need to convert documents from another encoding to US-ASCII or just write something in that encoding? If you need to convert a document with accented characters to plain US-ASCII, you will have to find a program that does the conversion, e.g. é->e, æ->ae.
