Summary
H.R. 7527 would require the Postal Service (USPS) to collect and analyze data on injuries and deaths that result from traffic crashes involving vehicles carrying mail. Any USPS employee or contractor involved in a traffic crash would be required to report to the Postal Service within three days of the incident.
Cash flows for the Postal Service are recorded in the federal budget in the Postal Service Fund and are classified as off-budget direct spending. USPS already collects and reports the required data for employees but under the bill would need to collect that information from contractors. The process for collecting data and reporting on it is already in place; thus, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 7527 would increase off-budget direct spending for USPS by less than $500,000.
