hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 

404(d), on August 2, 2011, the 

Commission received a petition for 

review of the Postal Service’s 

determination to close the post office in 

Masonville, Iowa. The petition was filed 

by Nellie Marting (Petitioner) and is 

postmarked July 20, 2011. The 

Commission hereby institutes a 

proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)

the closing on the community. See 39
