PETITION FOR CHANGE IN RURAL DELIVERY

(To Be Completed by Petitioners)

PETITIONERS NOTE: Proposed extensions of rural routes should ordinarily serve an average of at least one family for each additional mile of travel, including retrace. An extension is generally not approved by the U.S. Postal Service when the road to be traveled is private or is not maintained and in good condition.

When the petition has been completed, submit it to the postmaster of the office from which service is desired.

(Include City, State and ZIP + 4 Code)
