§2902 Property Management

Summary

Requires the Postal Service to keep good inventory controls and clear records for its property. It must plan for current and future staffing so leaders can decide how property is used. The Postal Service may create a 5-year management plan that sets goals to cut excess or underused property, change workplace layouts and practices to need less space, review leased space, recommend how to handle extra capacity without hurting mail delivery, and recommend ways to protect mail processing. If the Postal Service makes that 5-year plan, it must regularly list all real property and publish a report like its facility reports. Each property report must show the date first used, size in square feet and acres, address and location, how much it is used, actual yearly operating costs, total capital costs to date, how many Postal and contractor employees and functions are there, how critical the property is to the Postal Service’s mission, and estimated capital costs for each of the next 5 years after the date of enactment. The Postal Service does not have to get property appraisals.
