Date of Filing of Appeal Papers: March 3, 1995
Categories of Issues Apparently Raised:

    2. Effect on the community [39 U.S.C. Sec. 404(b)(2)(A)].

    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 date this appeal was filed (39 
U.S.C. Sec. 404 (b)(5)). In the interest of expedition, in light of the 
120-day decision schedule, the Commission may 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 petitioners. The [[Page 14471]] Postal Service may incorporate by 
reference in its briefs or motions, any arguments presented in 
memoranda it previously filed in this docket. If necessary, the 
Commission also may ask petitioners or the Postal Service for more 
information.
