Bill > HR1249

This bill requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to provide more transparent and detailed notifications when planning nationwide or substantially nationwide changes to postal services. Specifically, when the USPS determines a significant service change is needed, they must submit a proposed change to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) and request an advisory opinion. Simultaneously, the USPS must post physical notices in postal facilities for at least 30 days after the change goes into effect. These notices must include comprehensive details such as the specifics of the change, implementation timelines, anticipated nationwide impacts, information about public meetings and comment opportunities, contact information for public feedback, and any additional helpful resources. The bill amends an existing section of federal postal service law (Section 3661 of Title 39) to formalize these notification requirements, aiming to increase transparency and provide stakeholders with more advance information about potential postal service modifications that could affect customers across the country.
