Bill > HR6811

This bill, known as the Postal Suspension Transparency Act, requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to create and maintain a publicly accessible website that provides detailed information about any post office that has temporarily suspended operations due to an emergency. This website will feature an interactive tool listing "covered post offices" (those with suspended operations) and for each, will display its street address, the date the suspension began, the reason for it, information on alternative services like curbside delivery, the location and hours of the nearest facility offering retail postal services, and an estimated date for resuming operations, if possible. The website will also allow users to search for post offices by street address, ZIP Code, or post office box, and the information will be presented in a searchable, sortable, and filterable format, with the ability to download data in bulk and in an open, structured format for reuse and analysis. An "emergency suspension" is defined as a temporary halt in operations at a post office under specific USPS policies. The USPS has one year from the bill's enactment to establish this website.
