Title: To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 12804 Chillicothe Road in Chesterland, Ohio, as the “Sgt. Wolfgang Kyle Weninger Post Office Building”

Purpose

This public law gives an honorific name to a specific U.S. Postal Service facility in Chesterland, Ohio. Its sole purpose is to designate the post office at 12804 Chillicothe Road as the “Sgt.

Key provisions

  • References: Any reference in federal law, maps, regulations, documents, papers, or other U.S. records to that facility shall be deemed to be a reference to the facility under its new name.

No changes to USPS operations, funding, staffing, services, or property rights are made by this law.

Who is affected

  • Primary: The specific USPS facility at the given Chesterland address (signage, maps, and official references).
  • Secondary: Federal agencies, mapmakers, local government and community organizations, and members of the public referencing or seeking the facility by name. Costs are limited and typically administrative (e.g., updated signage, facility records).
