POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION 

[Docket No. C2024–21; Order No. 7884] 

Complaint Proceeding 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is 

acknowledging a document opening a 

proceeding to consider issues related to 

the classification of Catherine Commons 

as a dormitory or residence hall. This 

document takes other administrative 

steps. 

ADDRESSES: Documents are available 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at https://

www.prc.gov.

Table of Contents 

I. Background 

II. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Background 

Complainants and their affiliates own 

and operate Catherine Commons, a 

newly developed four-building complex 

located in Ithaca, New York. 

Complainants assert that the Postal 

Service has unduly or unreasonably 

discriminated against Catherine 

Commons in violation of 39 U.S.C. 

403(c) by misclassifying it as a 

dormitory rather than an apartment 

community. Classification as a 

dormitory allows the Postal Service to 

deliver mail in bulk rather than to 

apartment-type mailboxes, and places 

responsibility on the building owner for 

final delivery of mail. Pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3662(b), the Commission 

concludes that Complainants have made 

sufficient allegations that there may be 

no rational or legitimate basis for 

classifying Catherine Commons as a 

dormitory or residence hall and that 

there are outstanding issues of fact to 

resolve whether the Postal Service has 

violated 39 U.S.C. 403(c). The Order 

grants the Postal Service’s Motion to 

Dismiss on all remaining substantive 

grounds.1

The Commission appoints a presiding 

officer to preside over the conduct of the 

proceedings, including scheduling, 

discovery, potential hearings, and 

briefing in this matter. The Commission 

finds good cause to waive the 

appointment of an officer of the 

Commission designated to represent the 

interests of the general public in this 

proceeding as required by 39 CFR 

3022.30(c) because the violations 

alleged in the Complaint pertain solely 

to Complainants, who are represented 

by counsel, rather than the general 

public. 

II. Ordering Paragraphs 

It is ordered: 

1. The Commission finds that the 

Complaint of Cook-Coll, LLC and CollCath Associates, LLC, filed August 28, 

2024, raises material issues of fact. 

2. The United States Postal Service’s 

Motion to Dismiss the Complaint of 

Cook-Coll, LLC and Coll-Cath 

Associates, LLC, filed September 17, 

2024, is denied on the grounds that the 

Complaint of Cook-Coll, LLC and CollCath Associates, LLC, filed August 28, 

2024, failed to include the certification 

required by 39 CFR 3022.10(a)(9). 

3. The United States Postal Service’s 

Motion to Dismiss the Complaint of 

Cook-Coll, LLC and Coll-Cath 

Associates, LLC, filed September 17, 

2024, is granted on all remaining 

grounds except for the claim related to 

the alleged violation of 39 U.S.C. 403(c). 

4. Pursuant to 39 CFR 3010.106, the 

Commission appoints Laura K. 

Koepnick as a presiding officer in this 

proceeding. 

5. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of this Order, or abstract 

thereof, in the Federal Register. 

By the Commission. 

Erica A. Barker, 

Secretary.
