Federal Reports

The U.S. Postal Service’s mission is to provide timely, reliable, secure, and affordable mail and package delivery to more than 160 million residential and business addresses across the country. The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviews delivery operations at facilities across the country and provides management with timely feedback in furtherance of this mission. 

This interim report presents the results of our self-initiated audit of delivery operations and property conditions at the Fremont Administrative Post Office (APO) in Fremont, NE. The Fremont APO is in the Iowa-Nebraska-South Dakota District of the Central Area and serves about 31,176 people in ZIP Code 68025, which is considered a predominantly urban area (see Figure 1). Specifically, 28,262 (90.7 percent) live in urban communities and 2,914 (9.3 percent) live in rural communities.

During the week of June 2, 2025, we performed a self-initiated audit at the St. Louis Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) and Network Distribution Center (NDC) and seven delivery units serviced by the two plants. The delivery units included the Ballwin, O’Fallon, and St. Charles Main Post Offices, Maryville Gardens and Southwest Stations, and the Clayton and Creve Coeur Branches in the St. Louis, MO area.

We issued individual reports for the seven delivery units, P&DC, and NDC. We issued another report summarizing the results of our audits at all seven delivery units with specific recommendations for management to address.
