Protect Postal Performance Act

This bill changes the rules the U.S. Postal Service must follow before closing or consolidating post offices and mail processing centers. It requires a public hearing, a published summary of comments, and a 180-day wait before a post office closes, and it bars closing a post office that is more than 15 miles from any other post office or is the closest one for 15,000 or more people. It requires an advisory opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission before changes to mail processing facilities, ends the Mail Processing Facility Review program, and blocks processing center closures in districts that missed set on-time delivery rates. It also bars transportation changes that would reduce how often mail is picked up or dropped off at any post office.
