Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This document informs the
public that an appeal of the closing of
the Goodwin, Arkansas post office has

schedule. Publication of this document
will allow the Postal Service,
petitioners, and others to take
appropriate action.
DATES: Administrative record due (from
Postal Service): August 8, 2011;
deadline for notices to intervene: August
22, 2011. See the Procedural Schedule
in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section for other dates of interest.

Online’’ link in the banner at the top of
the Commission’s Web site (https://
www.prc.gov) or by directly accessing
the Commission’s Filing Online system
at https://www.prc.gov/prc-pages/filingonline/login.aspx. Commenters who

should contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section as the source for case-related

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel,

information) or DocketAdmins@prc.gov
(electronic filing assistance).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on July 22, 2011, the
Commission received a petition for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the post office in
Goodwin, Arkansas. The petition was
filed by Randy Jones (Petitioner). The
Commission hereby institutes a
proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)
and establishes Docket No. A2011–28 to
consider Petitioner’s appeal. If
Petitioner would like to further explain
his position with supplemental
information or facts, Petitioner may
either file a Participant Statement on
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00126
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Commission no later than August 26,
2011.
Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioner contends that: (1) The Postal
Service failed to adequately consider the
economic savings resulting from the
closure (see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(iv));
and (2) that the Postal Service failed to
consider whether or not it will continue
to provide a maximum degree of
effective and regular postal services to
the community (see 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(2)(A)(iii)).
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
applicable administrative record with
the Commission is August 8, 2011. See
39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due
