POSTAL RATE COMMISSION

[Docket No. A94-6 and Order No. 1000]

 

Notice and Order Accepting Appeal and Establishing Procedural 
Schedule Under 39 U.S.C. 404(b)(5)

Issued January 7, 1994.
    In the Matter of: Poland, Maine 04273 (Herbert Bunker, 
Petitioner) Before Commissioners: W.H. ``Trey'' LeBlanc III, Vice 
Chairman; George W. Haley; H. Edward Quick, Jr.; Wayne A. Schley.

Docket Number: A94-6.
Name of Affected Post Office: Poland, Maine 04273.
Name(s) of Petitioner(s): Herbert Bunker.
Type of Determination: Closing.
Date of Filing of Appeal Papers: January 3, 1994.
Categories of Issues Apparently Raised:
    1. Effect on postal services (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(2)(C)).
    2. Effect on the community (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(2)(A)).
    3. Economic savings (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(2)(D)).

    After the Postal Service files the administrative record and the 
Commission reviews it, the Commission may find that there are more 
legal issues than those set forth above. Or, the Commission may find 
that the Postal Service's determination disposes of one or more of 
those issues.
    The Postal Reorganization Act requires that the Commission issue 
its decision within 120 days from the January 3, 1994 filing date of 
this appeal (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(5)). In the interest of expedition, in 
the light of the 120-day decision schedule, the Commission reserves the 
right to request the Postal Service to submit memoranda of law on any 
appropriate issue. If requested, such memoranda will be due 20 days 
from the issuance of the request and the Postal Service shall serve a 
copy of its memoranda on the petitioner. The Commission reserves the 
right to ask the petitioner for more information.
    If the Postal Service files a brief or motion to dismiss or a 
motion to affirm the appeal, the Postal Service may incorporate by 
reference any memoranda it previously filed in this docket.
