(2) ZIP Code assignment. The ZIP Code for each address formerly
served from the discontinued USPS-operated retail facility should be
kept, wherever practical. In some cases, the ZIP Code originally
assigned to the discontinued USPS-operated retail facility may be
changed if the responsible District Manager receives approval from his
or her Vice President of Area Delivery and Retail Operations before any
proposal to discontinue the USPS-operated retail facility is posted.
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(3) Other steps. In addition to providing notice and inviting
comment, the District Manager must take any other steps necessary to
ensure that the persons served by affected USPS-operated retail
facilities understand the nature and implications of the proposed
action. A community meeting must be held to provide outreach and gain
public input after the proposal is posted, unless otherwise instructed
by the responsible Headquarters Vice President or the applicable Vice
President of Area Delivery and Retail Operations. Authorization to
forgo a community meeting should issue only where exceptional
circumstances make a community meeting infeasible, such as where the
community no longer exists because of a natural disaster or because
residents have moved elsewhere.
