where post offices are not self sustaining;

are necessary.
''(5) Any determination of the Postal Service to renovate,
relocate, close, or consolidate a post office shall be in writing and
shall include the findings of the Postal Service with respect to the
considerations required to be made under paragraph (4) of this
subsection. Such determination and findings shall be made available to

office.

close, or consolidate any post office may be appealed by any person
served by such post office to the Postal Rate Commission within 30 days
after such determination is made available to such person under
paragraph (5). The Commission shall review such determination on the
basis of the record before the Postal Service in the making of such
determination. The Commission shall make a determination based upon
such review no later than 120 days after receiving any appeal under
this paragraph. The commission shall set aside any determination,
findings, and conclusions found to be--
''(A) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or
otherwise not in accordance with the law;

the Postal Service until the final disposition of the appeal. The
provisions of section 556, section 557, and chapter 7 of title 5 shall

paragraph.
''(8) In a case in which a community has procedures to address the
renovation, relocation, closing, or consolidation of buildings in the
community, and the public participation requirements of such procedures
are more stringent than those provided in this subsection, the Postal
Service shall follow such procedures and disregard the procedures
established in this subsection.
''(9) The Postal Service, in making a determination to renovate,
relocate, close, or consolidate any post office, shall comply with any
zoning, planning, or land use regulations, or building codes applicable
