Name of Affected Post Office: Rodman, Iowa 50580
Name(s) of Petitioner(s): Gary & Rose Fokken
Type of Determination: Closing
Date of Filing of Appeal Papers: October 19, 1994,
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. Sec. 404(b)(2)(A)).

those issues.
    The Postal Reorganization Act requires that the Commission issue 
its decision within 120 days from the date this appeal was filed (39 
U.S.C. 404 (b)(5)). In the interest of expedition, in light of the 120-
day decision schedule, the Commission may 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 Postal Service may incorporate by reference in its briefs or 
motions, any arguments presented in memoranda it previously filed in 
this docket. If necessary, the Commission also may ask petitioners or 
the Postal Service for more information.

The Commission orders:

    (a) The Postal Service shall file the record in this appeal by 
November 3, 1994.
    (b) The Secretary of the Postal Rate Commission shall publish this
