This bill requires the United States Postal Service to build and run a public website with an interactive tool that lists post offices that have had emergency suspensions. A "covered post office" means a post office temporarily suspended under subchapter 61 of Postal Service Handbook PO-101 (or any successor). For each covered post office the site must show the street address, the date the emergency suspension took effect, the reason for the suspension, alternative services available (including how to request curbside delivery), the location and hours of the nearest facility that provides retail postal services, and, to the extent practicable, an estimated date when operations will resume.
The website must let users search by street address, ZIP Code, or post office box. The information must appear on an interactive dashboard that is searchable, sortable, and filterable by the listed elements. The site should allow bulk download of data and use open and, to the extent practicable, structured formats so people and organizations can reuse and analyze the information. The bill says that posting information on the website does not count as legal notice that a post office has been temporarily suspended. The Postal Service must establish the website within one year after the bill becomes law.
The bill requires the Postal Service to develop and maintain the website and interactive tool, and to provide searchable, downloadable, and open-format data. No publicly available information on estimated costs, funding sources, or budget impacts is included in the bill text or provided metadata.
