USPS's current field-office structure includes 7 area offices and 67 district offices. USPS's management structure is decentralized, with the area and district offices overseeing a vast network of facilities, which, as of December 19, 2011, included 31,060 post offices and 461 mailprocessing facilities (see fig. 1). According to USPS data, the operating cost of its field offices in fiscal year 2011 totaled about $1.2 billion-the majority of which (about $1 billion) was spent operating district offices. The total operating costs of USPS's field offices represented less than 2 percent of its approximately $71 billion fiscal year 2011 operating expenses.
