Unlike the previous Issa attempt, which replicated President Obama\u2019s postal plan, the latest Issa draft bill would simply phase-out door delivery and replace it with curbside, sidewalk, or centralized mail delivery. The bill, which has yet to be introduced, would establish a preference for centralized mail delivery, and would target 1.5 million delivery points for <a href=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1a-NAPUS-small.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6549\" src=\"https:\/\/postalemployeenetwork.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1a-NAPUS-small.gif\" alt=\"1a-NAPUS-small\" width=\"322\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a>conversion by the end of 2024. In addition, the bill would direct the USPS to establish a \u201cVoucher Program\u201d to defray postal customer expenses, attributed to moving their mail receptacles to the curb or sidewalk. In addition, the proposal would authorize the USPS to establish a Postal Regulatory Commission-approved fee that would be charged to mail customers who want to continue door-delivery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 13px\/19px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #464647; text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: #ffffff; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\">Also, Chairman Issa has scheduled a committee hearing for Thursday morning, May 22, on the topic of postal innovation.
