Schedule Under 39 U.S.C. 404(b)(5)

    Issued January 3, 1994.

    Before Commissioners: W.H. ``Trey'' LeBlanc, III, Vice Chairman;

    Type of Determination: Closing.
    Date of Filing of Appeal Papers: December 23, 1993.
    Categories of Issues Apparently Raised: 1. Effect on postal 
services (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(2)(C)).
    2. Effect on the community (39 U.S.C. 404(b)(2)(A)).

Commission reviews it, the Commission may find that there are more 
legal issues than those set forth above. Or, the Commission may find 
that the Postal Service's determination disposes of one or more of 
those issues.
    The Postal Reorganization Act requires that the Commission issue 
its decision within 120 days from the filing date of this appeal (39 
U.S.C. 404(b)(5)). In the interest of expedition, in the light of the 
120-day decision schedule, the Commission reserves the right to request 
the Postal Service to submit memoranda of law on any appropriate issue. 
If requested, such memoranda will be due 20 days from the issuance of 
the request and the Postal Service shall serve a copy of its memoranda 
on the petitioners. The Commission reserves the right to ask 
petitioners for more information.
    If the Postal Service files a brief or motion to dismiss or a 
motion to affirm the appeal, the Postal Service may incorporate by 
reference any memoranda it previously filed in this docket.

The Commission Orders

    (a) The Postal Service shall file the record in this appeal by
