(1) The United States Postal Service shall be 
operated as a basic and fundamental service pro-
vided to the people by the Government of the United 
States, authorized by the Constitution, created by 
Act of Congress, and supported by the people. The 
Postal Service shall have as its basic function the 
obligation to provide postal services to bind the Na-
tion together through the personal, educational, lit-
erary, and business correspondence of the people. It 
shall provide prompt, reliable, and efficient services 
to patrons in all areas and shall render postal serv-
ices to all communities. The costs of establishing 
and maintaining the Postal Service shall not be ap-
portioned to impair the overall value of such service 
to the people (39 U.S.C. 101). 
(2) On March 23, 2021, the Postal Service an-
nounced its ten-year Delivering for America plan ‘‘to 
provide prompt, reliable, and efficient mail and 
package shipping services to all Americans— regard-
less of where they live—and at affordable rates’’. 
One of the ways the Postal Service intends to 
achieve this objective is through Mail Processing Fa-
cility Reviews. These reviews have the potential to 
impact delivery standards and ballot collection proc-
esses across the Nation.

(3) Thousands of concerned American citizens 
have voiced their opinions against these reviewal 
processes, and numerous Members and Senators 
have written letters to the Postmaster General de-
manding answers to these legitimate concerns. 
(4) The Postal Regulatory Commission, in con-
sultation with the United States Postal Service Of-
fice of Inspector General, possesses the statutory au-
thority to evaluate and issue an advisory opinion on 
the impact of the Postal Service’s reforms including 
but not limited to costs, revenue, volume, products, 
and service standards (39 U.S.C. 501, 3622, 3652, 
3662, and 3691). 
(5) On March 28, 2024, the Office of Inspector 
General released a comprehensive audit, Report 
Number 23–161–R24, which outlined how the re-
forms led to worse service, an inadequately informed 
public, decreased employee availability, and an in-
crease in late and canceled mail transportation trips. 
(6) On April 26, 2024, the Postal Regulatory 
Commission issued Order No. 7061 to the Postal 
Service, which focuses on these reforms and requires 
that the Postal Service either submit to an advisory 
opinion of the Commission or justify why said opin-
ion is not warranted.
