In the Matter of: Huntley, Nebraska 68951: (J. Donald Schluntz,

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.
