- Requires the Postal Service, within 180 days of enactment, to publish an administrative process for requests to change existing ZIP code boundaries or create new ZIP codes.
- Requires written reasons for any denial, including whether cost was a factor and the estimated cost, and a designated point of contact for each request.
- Bars resubmitting an identical or substantially similar request for 5 years after a denial, but allows one appeal filed within 45 days of the denial.
- Creates a pilot program, ending 7 years after enactment, in which a government may pay the net costs of its request, and the Postal Service must grant a request when cost is the only reason for denial and the offered agreement covers it.
