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 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.
