The Office of the Inspector General of the United States Postal Service is currently conducting an audit on the "Disposal of Historic Properties." Or, email the Office of the Inspector General directly at auditprojects@uspsoig.gov | Bronx Congressman José E. Serrano |
The Serrano amendment to the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill
The Committee is concerned by reports that the Postal Service is attempting to sell off many of its historic properties without regard for the preservation of these buildings. The Committee is particularly concerned that the Postal Service may not be following Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act in the relocation and sales process of these historic properties. The Committee notes that the Office of the Inspector General is currently conducting an investigation into whether the Postal Service is complying with its statutory and regulatory requirements in the relocation of services, closure, and sale of these types of properties. Until such an analysis is complete, the Committee believes the Postal Service should refrain from the relocation of services from historic post offices, and believes the Postal Service should suspend the sale of any historic post office.
