POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION 

[Docket No. A2011–43; Order No. 799] 

Post Office Closing 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This document informs the 

public that an appeal of the closing of 

the Stoy, Illinois post office has been 

filed. It identifies preliminary steps and 

provides a procedural schedule. 

Publication of this document will allow 

the Postal Service, petitioners, and 

others to take appropriate action. 

DATES: Administrative record due (from 

Postal Service): August 25, 2011; 

deadline for notices to intervene: 

September 6, 2011. See the Procedural 

Schedule in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for other dates of 

interest. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically by accessing the ‘‘Filing 

Online’’ link in the banner at the top of 

the Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov) or by directly accessing 

the Commission’s Filing Online system 

at https://www.prc.gov/prc-pages/filingonline/login.aspx. Commenters who 

cannot submit their views electronically 

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 DocketAdmins@prc.gov 

(electronic filing assistance). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

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

404(d), on August 10, 2011, the 

Commission received a petition for 

review of the Postal Service’s 

determination to close the post office in 

Stoy, Illinois. The petition was filed by 

Lisa L. McKinley (Petitioner) and is 

postmarked August 1, 2011. The 

Commission hereby institutes a 

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

and establishes Docket No. A2011–43 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 September 14, 

2011. 

Categories of issues apparently raised. 

Petitioner contends that: (1) 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 (2) 

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 with 

the Commission is August 25, 2011. See 

39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the due 

date for any responsive pleading by the 

Postal Service to this Notice is August 

25, 2011. 

Availability; Web site posting. The 

Commission has posted the appeal and 

supporting material on its Web site at 

http://www.prc.gov. Additional filings 

in this case and participants’ 

submissions also will be posted on the 

Commission’s Web site, if provided in 

electronic format or amenable to 

conversion, and not subject to a valid 

protective order. Information on how to 

use the Commission’s Web site is 

available online or by contacting the 

Commission’s Webmaster via telephone
