Mail Processing Facility Review
Notice of Public Input Meeting

Provo P&DC to Salt Lake City ASF

October 17, 2023 

As part of its 10-year strategic Delivering for America plan to modernize the nation’s aging postal network, the U.S. Postal Service initiated a Mail Processing Facility Review (MPFR) to evaluate moving some of the mail processing operations from the Provo Processing and Distribution Center to the Salt Lake City Auxiliary Service Facility (ASF). Results from the initial review support the business case. However, this MPFR, currently in review at Postal Service headquarters and its regional office, is subject to change.

A public meeting will be held to share the initial results of the study and to allow members of the community to provide additional oral feedback. The public’s input will be considered prior to a final decision. The meeting will be held on Thursday, November 2 at 1:00 PM at the Provo City Library at Academy Square, 550 N University Ave, Ballroom & Brimhall Room 302, Provo UT 84606. A summary of the MPFR will be posted on about.usps.com at least one week prior to the public input meeting. 

Below are some preliminary highlights from the study:

Business Case
The Postal Service is investing heavily in operations in Utah as it moves to modernize the nation’s aging and outmoded postal network and to achieve the organization’s goal of 95% on-time delivery across all mail products.

The initial results of the facility review support the business case for keeping the Provo Processing and Distribution Center open and modernizing the facility as a Local Processing Center (LPC) with simplified processes and standardized layouts. Additionally, the business case supports transferring some mail processing operations to the Salt Lake City ASF. 

Future of Facility
The Provo Processing and Distribution Center will remain open and will be modernized. It will be repositioned as a Local Processing Center for destinating mail processing.

Local Customers 
•	Retail and other services currently available at the Provo Processing and Distribution Center will not change. 
•	Business mail acceptance will remain the same. 
•	A local postmark will continue to be available at retail post offices.
•	Delivery times of mail to residences and businesses should not change because of this review.

Commercial Mailers
•	Mailers who presort mail will continue to receive appropriate postage discounts. 
•	Mailers who drop ship to Destination Sectional Center Facility (DSCF) can expect no changes if the MPFR is approved.
