UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

 

Notice of Vote to Close Meeting

    At its meeting on November 7, 1994, the Board of Governors of the 
United States Postal Service voted unanimously to close to public 
observation its meeting scheduled for December 5, 1994, in Tampa, 
Florida. The members will consider 1) an incentive compensation 
program; and 2) the Postal Rate Commission's Decision in Docket No. 
R94-1.
    The meeting is expected to be attended by the following persons: 
Governors Alvarado, Daniels, del Junco, Dyhrkopp, Mackie, Pace, 
Setrakian and Winters; Postmaster General Runyon, Deputy Postmaster 
General Coughlin, Secretary to the Board Harris, and General Counsel 
Elcano.
    The Board determined that pursuant to section 552(c)(2) and (3) of 
Title 5, United States Code, and section 7.3(b) and (c) of Title 39, 
Code of Federal Regulations, this portion of the meeting is exempt from 
the open meeting requirement of the Government in the Sunshine Act [5 
U.S.C. 552b(b)] because it is likely to disclose 1) internal personnel 
practices; and 2) information in connection with proceedings under 
Chapter 36 of Title 39, United States Code (having to do with postal 
ratemaking, mail classification and changes in postal services), which 
is specifically exempted from disclosure by section 410(c)(4) of Title 
39, United States Code.
    The Board has determined further that pursuant to section 
552b(c)(10 of Title 5, United States Code, and section 7.3(j) of Title 
39, Code of Federal Regulations, the discussion of Docket No. R94-1 is 
exempt because it is likely to specifically concern participation of 
the Postal Service in a civil action or proceeding involving a 
determination on the record after opportunity for a hearing.
    The Board further determined that the public interest does not 
require that the Board's discussion of these matters be open to the 
public.
    In accordance with section 552b(f)(1) of Title 5, United States 
Code, and section 7.6(a) of title 39, Code of Federal Regulations, the 
General Counsel of the United States Postal Service has certified that 
in her opinion the meeting may properly be closed to public observation 
pursuant to section 552b(c)(2), (3) and (10) of Title 5, United States 
Code; section 410(c)(4) of Title 39, United States Code; and section 
7.3(b), (c) and (j) of Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations.
    Requests for information about the meeting should be addressed to 
the Secretary of the Board, David F. Harris, at (202) 268-4800.
David F. Harris,
Secretary.
