The petition, which was filed by Lou Schickel (Petitioner), is postmarked February 7, 2011, and was posted on the Commission’s Web site February 18, 2011. The Commission hereby institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5) and designates the case as Docket No. A2011–8 to consider the Petitioner’s appeal.
