should contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section as the source for case-related
information for advice on alternatives to
electronic filing.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Stephen L. Sharfman, General Counsel,
at (202) 789–6820 (case-related
information) or [email protected]
(electronic filing assistance).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on November 16, 2011, the
Commission received a petition for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the Spring Lake
post office in Spring Lake, Minnesota.
The petition for review was filed by
Sally Sedgwick (Petitioner) and is
postmarked November 8, 2011. The
Commission hereby institutes a
proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)
and establishes Docket No. A2012–74 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 21,
2011.
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)); (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)); and (4) there are
factual errors contained in the Final
Determination.
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.
Availability; Web site posting. The
Commission has posted the appeal and
supporting material on its Web site at
http://www.prc.gov. Additional filings

Commission reserves the right to

infringe on an individual’s privacy
rights from documents filed in this
proceeding.
