information) or DocketAdmins@prc.gov
(electronic filing assistance).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on November 7, 2011, the
Commission received a petition for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the New Cambria
post office in New Cambria, Kansas. The
petition for review was filed by Doris C.
McCall (Petitioner) and is postmarked
October 24, 2011. The Commission
hereby institutes a proceeding under 39
U.S.C. 404(d)(5) and establishes Docket
No. A2012–59 to consider Petitioner’s
appeal. If Petitioner would like to
further explain her position with
supplemental information or facts,
Petitioner may either file a Participant
Statement on PRC Form 61 or file a brief
with the Commission no later than
December 12, 2011.
Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioner contends that (1) 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 (2)
the Postal Service failed to follow
procedures required by law regarding
closures (see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)(B)).
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 is
within 15 days after the date in which
the petition for review was filed with
the Commission. See 39 CFR 3001.113.
In addition, the due date for any
responsive pleading by the Postal
Service is also within 15 days after the
date in which the petition for review
was filed with the Commission.

Commission has posted the appeal and
