UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

 

Notice of Vote to Close Meeting

    By telephone vote on November 28, 1994, a majority of the members 
contacted and voting, the Board of Governors voted to close to public 
observation its meeting scheduled for December 12, 1994, in Washington, 
D.C. The members will consider the Postal Rate Commission's Opinion and 
Recommended 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, 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 552b(c)(3) of Title 
5, United States Code, and section 7.3(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 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 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 the 
matter 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) (3) and (10) of Title 5, United States 
Code; section 410(c)(4) of Title 39 United States Code; and section 7.3 
(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.
