This bill amends title 39, United States Code, to restrict the awarding of bonuses to the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General. It prohibits them from receiving any bonus, award, or other monetary compensation beyond basic pay for any fiscal year in which the United States Postal Service (USPS) does not meet or exceed specific on-time mail delivery targets. Specifically, the USPS must achieve at least 95 percent on-time delivery performance for each on-time delivery target set for a market-dominant product category to allow for executive bonuses. This provision aims to link executive compensation directly to the agency's service quality and operational efficiency. Furthermore, the bill requires that performance reports detailing these delivery metrics be submitted to the Postal Regulatory Commission , ensuring greater accountability.
