Notice of Availability of Final Supplemental Environmental Impact 
Statement for Next Generation Delivery Vehicles Acquisitions

    Pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy 
Act (NEPA) of 1969, its implementing regulations at 39 CFR part 775, 
and the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations (40 CFR parts 
1500-1508), the U.S. Postal Service announces availability of the Final 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) which analyzes the 
environmental impacts of a range of alternatives for a modification to 
the Postal Service's February 23, 2022, Record of Decision (ROD) to 
purchase, over ten years, 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 beyond the end of their 
service life. A minimum of 10 percent of those vehicles would be 
battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
    The Postal Service has identified Alternative 1 as its Preferred 
Alternative, which is the purchase and deployment of a mixed fleet of 
Commercial Off-the-Shelf and NGDV vehicles. Of the total quantity of 
106,480 vehicles to be procured under this SEIS, 62 percent would be 
BEV. Interested parties may view the Final SEIS and all prior NEPA 
documents related to this procurement at http://uspsngdveis.com/.
