This section amends Title 39 of the United States Code to limit the Postal Service's use of centralized delivery for residential housing.

For new housing developments, the Postal Service requires prior approval from the local legislative body (or state legislature if no local body exists) before requiring centralized delivery. If approval is granted, the local postmaster must provide written notice to local governments and planning commissions and allow a 60-day public comment period. The Postal Regulatory Commission must ensure the Postal Service does not implement policies negatively impacting rural, lower income, elderly, disabled, or predominately minority communities.
