Designates the United States Postal Service facility at 46164 Westlake Drive in Sterling, Virginia, as the "Firefighter Trevor Brown Post Office Building" and makes that name the official reference in federal law, maps, regulations, documents, papers, and other records. The change is an honorific naming and does not create a new program or appropriate funds. The designation will require administrative updates to USPS records, signage, and federal references but is expected to have minimal fiscal or policy impact beyond those routine updates.
