To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 306 South Main Street in Waupaca, Wisconsin, as the "Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building".
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill gives one USPS facility a statutory commemorative name. It designates the United States Postal Service facility at 306 South Main Street in Waupaca, Wisconsin, as the Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building. It also provides that any reference in a federal law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other United States record to that facility is deemed to be a reference to the Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building.
The bill does not change postal rates, delivery routes, retail services, staffing levels, collective-bargaining rules, or broader USPS operations. Its legal effect is narrower: USPS and federal recordkeepers must use the new name for the Waupaca facility, and local implementation would usually involve signage, facility records, and future official references.
Who Benefits and How
Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich's family benefits from formal federal recognition tied to a public postal facility in Waupaca. Waupaca residents benefit from a local commemorative designation that connects a community building with a named honoree. Waupaca veterans organizations benefit from a visible memorial point if they use the designation in local remembrance or civic events. USPS facility managers benefit from clear statutory naming authority, which resolves how the facility should be identified in federal records.
Who Bears the Burden and How
USPS facility managers must update signage, facility records, local communications, and internal references to the renamed building. USPS administrative staff must ensure maps, documents, papers, and future official references use the new name. Federal recordkeepers must treat old and generic references to the facility as references to the Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building. Postal customers do not receive new legal duties, but they may need to use the new facility name in correspondence or local directions.
