Schedule Under 39 U.S.C. Sec. 404(b)(5)

Issued September 12, 1995.
    Before Commissioners: Edward J. Gleiman, Chairman; W.H. ``Trey'' 
LeBlanc III, Vice-Chairman; George W. Haley; H. Edward Quick, Jr.; 
Wayne A. Schley.

    In the Matter of: Taintor, Iowa 50253 (Cornelia Lambert, et al., 
Petitioners).

Docket Number: A95-20
Name of Affected Post Office: Taintor, Iowa 50253
Name(s) of Petitioner(s): Cornelia Lambert, et al.
Type of Determination: Closing
Date of Filing of Appeal Papers: September 5, 1995
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)].

    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. 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 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.
