The Postal Service\u2019s testimony, including its responses to discovery, is available for review electronically on the Commission\u2019s website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.prc.gov\/<\/a>. The Commission will provide a live, audio webcast of the hearing from the home page of the website.<\/p>\n<p>The Postal Service announced this proposal to adjust its postal retail network by changing the operating hours at approximately 17,700 of the 32,000 postal retail locations across the country on May 25, 2012. The Postal Service indicates that based on community input and its operational needs, the POStPlan could, among other things, result in changes to post office retail service hours. Thus, the POStPlan has the potential to affect the service that users receive at the Postal Service\u2019s retail facilities located across the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission is now reviewing the proposal (Docket N2012-2). A list of impacted postal retail facilities may be viewed <a href=\"http:\/\/about.usps.com\/news\/electronic-press-kits\/our-future-network\/assets\/pdf\/postplan-affected-post-offices-120509.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission welcomes public comment on the Postal Service\u2019s proposal. Interested persons may submit their views to the Commission by mail, or by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prc.gov\/prc-pages\/about\/contact\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;contact PRC&#8217;<\/a>. All comments received will be filed in the public commenter file in Docket No. N2012-2 and will be available for review by the public.<\/p>\n<p>My fellow Commissioners and I will review the proposal along with the Postal Service\u2019s evidence and justifications in this filing. We will listen to testimony at public hearings and render our Advisory Opinion based on evidence developed in the case. It is important to note that the Commission will not determine the operational hours of any individual postal facility. A letter to members of Congress to clarify our role in this process is posted on the \u201cWhat\u2019s New\u201d column.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n<p>Nanci E.
