Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for 
Purchase of Next Generation Delivery Vehicles

AGENCY: U.S. Postal Service.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Postal Service announces its intention to prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the purchase over 10 years of 
50,000 to 165,000 purpose-built, right-hand-drive vehicles--the Next 
Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV)--to replace existing delivery 
vehicles nationwide that are approaching the end of their service life. 
While the Postal Service has not yet determined the precise mix of the 
powertrains in the new vehicles to be purchased, current plans are for 
the new vehicle purchases to consist of a mix of internal combustion 
engine and battery electric powertrains; the purchases will also be 
designed to be capable of retrofits to keep pace with advances in 
electric vehicle technologies. The EIS will evaluate the environmental 
impacts of the purchase and operation of the NGDV, as well as a 
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) vehicle alternative and a ``no action'' 
alternative.

DATES: Comments should be received no later than April 5, 2021. The 
Postal Service will also publish a Notice of Availability to announce 
the availability of the Draft EIS and solicit comments on the Draft EIS 
during a 45-day public comment period.

requests for additional information to: Mr. Davon Collins, 
Environmental Counsel, United States Postal Service, 475 L'Enfant Plaza 
SW, Washington, DC 20260-6201, or at [email protected]. Note that comments 
sent by mail may be subject to delay due to federal security screening.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice concerns the proposed purchase 
over 10 years of 50,000 to 165,000 new purpose-built delivery vehicles
