The Postal Service presented its 10-year plan, Delivering for America, back in March 2021. The Office of Inspector General has done numerous audits of the plan, and it’s been reviewed by the Postal Regulatory Commission in two Advisory Opinions (N2021-1 and N2024-1), a Public Inquiry (PI2023-4), and other proceedings as well.
In September 2025, the PRC asked the Postal Service to provide an update on various elements of the plan, including the initiative to move letter carriers from post offices to Sorting & Delivery Centers (S&DCs) and the restructuring of the processing network into Regional Processing & Distribution Centers and Local Processing Centers (RPDCs and LPCs).
The Postal Service objected to the PRC’s information request — as it had done several times previously — arguing that the advisory opinion docket on DFA had ended in January of this year — “together with the Postal Service’s duty to furnish information in furtherance of its aims.”
