The federal government declared a national day of observance for Thursday, January 9, to honor former President Jimmy Carter, who died December 29 at age 100.
Additionally, USPS facilities are required to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff through sunset Wednesday, January 29, to honor Carter.
The Postal Service will suspend regular mail delivery, retail services and office activity on Thursday. There will be limited package delivery service on that day, to ensure the organization does not experience any negative impacts to its package delivery operations.
The closure will include headquarters in Washington, DC, and area and district administrative offices. Local managers will advise employees on staffing levels to maintain limited package delivery operations and prepare for the resumption of regular activities Friday, January 10.
Pay and leave administration for the national day of observance is governed by section 519.4 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual and provisions of the applicable memorandums of understanding between the Postal Service and its unions.
