Purpose and intent

H.R. 6633 is a commemorative naming bill that designates the U.S. Postal Service facility at 9355 113th Street, Seminole, Florida, as the “Army SSG Ryan Christian Knauss Memorial Post Office Building.” The intent is to honor the military service and memory of Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Christian Knauss by permanently assigning his name to this postal facility.

Key provisions

  • Designation: The USPS facility at 9355 113th Street, Seminole, FL, shall be known and designated as the “Army SSG Ryan Christian Knauss Memorial Post Office Building.” (Section 1(a))
  • References: Any reference in law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to that facility is deemed to be a reference to the new name. (Section 1(b))

Who is affected

  • The provision is largely ceremonial. It affects how the specified postal facility is formally referenced in federal documents, maps, and records.
  • Local community members, veterans’ organizations, and the family of SSG Ryan Christian Knauss are the primary stakeholders in the commemorative recognition.
  • Operational aspects of the USPS facility (mail delivery, addresses, hours, personnel, property ownership) are not changed by this law.

Fiscal and administrative impact

  • The bill contains no authorization of funds. Any costs associated with new signage or ceremonial activities are expected to be minimal and would typically be borne by USPS or through donations; no substantive change to USPS operations or budget is created.
  • The law simply establishes an official name for federal reference purposes.
