SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:03 Dec 01, 2011
Jkt 226001
404(d), the Commission received two
petitions for review of the Postal
Service’s determination to close the
Prescott post office in Prescott, Iowa.
The first petition for review received
November 7, 2011, was filed by Dan
Westlake. The second petition for
review received November 17, 2011,
was filed by Joyce James. The earliest
postmark date is October 26, 2011. The
Commission hereby institutes a
proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)
and establishes Docket No. A2012–60 to
consider Petitioners’ appeal. If
Petitioners would like to further explain
their position with supplemental
information or facts, Petitioners 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.
Petitioners contend 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 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

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
DTC included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. DTC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
(1) The RAD function enables each
Participant to control and review a
Deliver Order (‘‘DO’’) 3 or a Payment
Order (‘‘PO’’) 4 that is directed to its
account by another Participant before its
account is updated. The RAD function
was built in 1990 to route money market
instrument (‘‘MMI’’) transactions for
3 A Deliver Order is the term used to define an
instruction initiating the book-entry transfer of a
security from one DTC Participant, as delivering
Participant, to another DTC Participant, as receiving
Participant.
4 A Payment Order is the term used to define an
instruction initiating a transaction in which a
Participant charges another Participant for changes
in value for outstanding stock loans or option
contract premiums. Payment orders involve no
securities, only money.

receiver approval. In 1996, there was a
conversion for all transactions to settle
in same-day funds subject to the net
debit cap control 5 and collateral
controls.6 Any DO that obligated a
Participant to pay $15 million or more
and any PO that obligated a Participant
to pay $1 million or more became
subject to RAD. In order to minimize
blockage, DTC excluded from RAD any
DO under $15 million and any PO
under $1 million. Transactions in such
lower amounts were directed to the
account of the receiving Participant
without the RAD filter. For such lower
amounts, the receiving Participant has
the ability on the same day as the
original delivery to instruct a matched
5 The net debit cap control is designed so that
DTC may complete settlement even if a Participant
fails to settle. Before completing a transaction in
which a Participant is the receiver, DTC calculates
the effect the transaction would have on such
Participant’s account and determines whether any
resulting net debit balance would exceed the
Participant’s net debit cap. Any transaction that
would cause the net debit balance to exceed the
Participant’s net debit cap is placed on a pending
(recycling) queue until another transaction creates
sufficient credit in such Participant’s account so
that the net debit cap will not be exceeded.
6 An example of a collateral control is the
Collateral Monitor (‘‘CM’’). DTC tracks collateral in
a Participant’s account through the Collateral
Monitor. At all times, the CM reflects the amount
by which the collateral value in the account
exceeds the net debit balance in the account. When
processing a transaction, DTC verifies that the CM
of neither the deliverer nor the receiver will not
become negative when the transaction completes. If
the transaction would cause either party to have a
negative CM, the transaction will recycle until the
deficient account has sufficient collateral to
proceed or until the applicable cutoff occurs.
