Mail Protection Act: Limits on Closing Postal Processing Centers.
This bill imposes strict limits on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) regarding the closure or consolidation of mail processing centers if local delivery performance is poor. It grants citizens the right to appeal closure decisions to the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The goal is to ensure that essential services, like timely mail delivery, are not negatively impacted by USPS restructuring efforts.
Key points
USPS cannot close a processing center if the State failed to meet specific on-time delivery targets (e.g., 93% for 2-day mail) in the preceding year.
Affected customers gain the right to appeal any closure or consolidation decision directly to the Postal Regulatory Commission.
Closures are prohibited if they would leave the State without a processing center or if the nearest center would be over 125 miles away.
