Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioner contends that: (1) The Postal
Service failed to consider the effect of
the closing on the community (see 39
U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(i)); (2) 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)); and (3)
the Postal Service failed to adequately
consider the economic savings resulting
from the closure (see 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(2)(A)(iv)).
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 October 6, 2011. See
39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due
date for any responsive pleading by the
Postal Service to this Notice is October
6, 2011.
Application for Suspension of
Determination. In addition to his
Petition, Peter Henner, et al. filed an
application for suspension of the Postal
Service’s determination (see 39 CFR
3001.114). 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 October 3,
2011.
