Section 404(d) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Postmaster General shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives and the Postal Regulatory Commission a report that details plans to close or suspend a Postal Service retail or processing facility during the period to which such report pertains. The first such report shall be submitted not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this paragraph. Reports shall be submitted semiannually thereafter. Each report submitted by the Postal Service under subparagraph
(A)shall address, at a minimum— the specific retail and processing facilities the Postal Service plans to suspend or close; the anticipated date of suspension or closure of each such facility; the cost of continued operations at the facilities for which closure is planned; the purpose of each such suspension or closure, as determined by paragraph (2)(A); plans for the establishment of alternative access points for retail facilities listed in clause (i), including the date on which each such alternative access point shall open for business and the planned location of each such alternative access point; how each facility closure conforms with previously filed actions for suspension or closure; the timeline for closure or suspension activities described in paragraphs
(1)and (3), and all other formal closure or suspension activities planned in connection with the retail facility closure; how work performed at mail processing facilities recommended for closure or consolidation will be transferred or absorbed by other facilities within the network; cost savings expected or achieved from consolidation of both retail and mail processing facilities; the impact of each planned closure on postal employees, including relocation or reassignment plans; and the status of ongoing suspensions or closures identified in previous reports. .
