City of Nooksack (Petitioner), is
postmarked May 13, 2011, and was
posted on the Commission’s Web site
May 17, 2011. The Commission hereby
institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5) and designates the case as
Docket No. A2011–17 to consider

with the Commission no later than June
20, 2011.
Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioner raises two issues: (1) The
failure of the Postal Service to follow
the procedural requirements of 39
U.S.C. 404(d) and 39 CFR 241.3 for
closing a post office; and (2) whether the
closing is consistent with the policy of
the Government that the Postal Service
shall provide a maximum degree of
effective and regular postal services to
rural areas, communities, and small
towns where post offices are not self
sustaining (see 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(2)(A)(ii)).
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 that the
Postal Service’s determination disposes
of one or more of those issues. The
deadline for the Postal Service to file the
administrative record with the
Commission is May 31, 2011. See 39
CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due date
for any responsive pleading by the
Postal Service to this Notice is May 31,
2011.
Application for Suspension of
Determination. In addition to its
Petition, the Petitioner filed an
application for suspension of the Postal
Service’s determination (see 39 CFR
3001.114). Petitioner contends that
suspending the effectiveness of the
determination is necessary to prevent
the Nooksack post office from being put
on an irreversible course of closure
before the appeals process is concluded.
Petitioner argues that the city will suffer
irreparable injury if the Nooksack post
office is allowed to close while its
appeal is before the Commission. As
indicated by the Petitioner, the
Nooksack post office is scheduled to
close May 27, 2011. Commission rules
allow for the Postal Service to file an
answer to such application within 10
days after the application is filed. In
light of what appears to be the proposed
close date, the Postal Service’s answer
to the application is due no later than
May 24, 2011. The Postal Service is
encouraged to maintain the standard of
service currently offered at the
Nooksack post office pending the
Commission’s response to the Postal
Service’s answer.

Commission has posted the appeal and
supporting material on its Web site at
https://www.prc.gov. Additional filings
in this case and participant’s

Further procedures. By statute, the
Commission is required to issue its
decision within 120 days from the date
it receives the appeal. See 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5). A procedural schedule has
been developed to accommodate this
statutory deadline. In the interest of
expedition, in light of the 120-day
decision schedule, the Commission may
request the Postal Service or other
participants to submit information or
memoranda of law on any appropriate
issue. As required by Commission rules,
if any motions are filed, responses are
due 7 days after any such motion is
filed. See 39 CFR 3001.21.

hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on May 16, 2011, the

which were filed by Paul J. Connor and
Shirley Strader (Petitioners), are both
postmarked May 11, 2011, and were
posted on the Commission’s Web site
May 17, 2011. The Commission hereby
institutes a proceeding under 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5) and designates the case as
Docket No. A2011–16 to consider
Petitioners’ appeals. If Petitioners would

with supplemental information or facts,
Petitioners may either file Participant
Statements on PRC Form 61 or file briefs

Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioners raise two issues: (1) That the
Postal Service’s decision to close the
Akron–East Station was arbitrary,
capricious, and an abuse of discretion
(see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)(A)); and (2) that
the decision was unsupported by
substantial evidence in the record (see
39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)(C)).
After the Postal Service files the
administrative record and the
Commission reviews it, the Commission
may find that there are more legal issues

Application for Suspension of
Determination. In addition, Paul J.
Connor filed an application for
suspension of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the Akron-East
Station (see 39 CFR 3001.114). He
argues that irreparable harm will occur
in the event that the Akron-East Station
is closed prior to the conclusion of the
appeals proceeding. Commission rules
allow for the Postal Service to file an
answer to such application within 10
days after the application is filed. The
Postal Service shall file an answer to the
application no later than May 26, 2011.

Categories of issues apparently raised. Petitioner raises two
issues: (1) The failure of the Postal Service to follow the procedural
requirements of 39 U.S.C. 404(d) and 39 CFR 241.3 for closing a post
office; and (2) whether the closing is consistent with the policy of
the Government that the Postal Service shall provide a maximum degree

Application for Suspension of Determination. In addition to its

contends that suspending the effectiveness of the determination is
necessary to prevent the Nooksack post office from being put on an
irreversible course of closure before the appeals process is concluded.
Petitioner argues that the city will suffer irreparable injury if the
Nooksack post office is allowed to close while its appeal is before the

scheduled to close May 27, 2011. Commission rules allow for the Postal
Service to file an answer to such application within 10 days after the
application is filed. In light of what appears to be the proposed close
date, the Postal Service's answer to the application is due no later
than May 24, 2011. The Postal Service is encouraged to maintain the
standard of service currently offered at the Nooksack post office
pending the Commission's response to the Postal Service's answer.
